Alex, I teach an animation class for HS students and I have your channel as a resource for students. I have to say your explanation of concepts is perfectly on point, I really like how you go through the workflow and explain why you are making the choices you are doing (we also use the sprite fright rigs for our practice, so this is perfect for them) . Please know that you are making a difference in inspiring young students, we hope you continue to make videos as these are some of the best youtube blender explainer videos IMO. Thanks again!
Thank you for letting me know! Really happy my videos are helping you and your students. Yes I'll be making more videos soon. Wish you guys all the best. Thanks again for your note!
I really like how you talk through everything as you're doing it. Really helpful.

Could you do a video on animation with constraint ?
Thanks! Yes for sure. I'll add it to my list and make a video about it and include a number of examples.
One day will come when you will have millions of followers.
:D Thank you! I appreciate that!!

Alex always putting the keys where its mouth is.
:) thanks!
hlo sir in latest versions of blender there are rigify and cloud rig are become seprate addons for rigging wich one is good ?
Are they working together?
Hey! Yes I do think they can work together. I'm not sure how integrated they are. But I am going to look into this now, thanks!
🚀🚀🚀
😊
I would love to see the tutorial of how you modled this character😢
Such a great character!
I did not make him. He's a character from the Blender Sprite Fright movie.
studio.blender.org/characters/sprite/v1/
Thank you so much
you are Amazing 🤎
That's very nice of you, thank you!
I want more and more Topics regarding Animation (Complete Guide With Shortcut/Trick) From You
Thanks for letting me know.
Yes will be making more videos.
can you make tutorial 0 to 100 level animation like how stand up from chair to body movements please!
Great suggestion, thanks! Yes that is a great animation exercise. Adding it to my list.
@@alexonstory let's go then 😁
Hello, did you use an auto rig for this character’s face?
Hey! No, this rig was made at the Blender Studio. I am not sure how they went about rigging the face. studio.blender.org/characters/
how to animate small movements? like character standing, doing nothing, but his body parts doing mini movements. i think its hardest thing ever, something between realism and style animation
Great question! It can be hard, I would recommend trying a layered approach. With layered you focus on 1 control so you can make the pose changes small as you want. Then you move onto other parts of the body as you add more complexity.
I did do a layered workflow tutorial. Hope that helps you out.

thanks@@alexonstory
Can you give how much time/day took for facial animation. With facial mocap can we make it in 1 day
I find facial animation can be done pretty quick. When your new it'll take longer but that's normal.
In this facial tutorial I spent about 15 minutes on the eyes. About 30 minutes on the mouth. The mouth for sure could have used another pass which might have taken another hour to clean/add mouth shapes.
where are you alex?
we need your more videos?
Thanks for your question!
I'll be posting again soon :)
How to make auto lip sync with Rhubarb add on... make a tutorial on that too..???
That's cool! I'll have to look into that. Thanks for asking about it.
Is there onion skin in 3D? Where you can see previous and next pose when posing
There is yes, github.com/tingjoybits/Mesh_Onion_Skins
Hope that helps!
@@alexonstory appreciate.
Hello I want to ask something. I'm doing a 90 degree right turn and walk on my character on same rotation of my rig which is after 90 degree turn but I'm not able to work on walk after that because mirroring is still working on x axis not on local axis. I didn't rotate the character from root bone while doing the turn
The flip pose not working after the turn so I'm not able to complete my animation 😢
@@FunTheMental-Studios Hmm interesting! I'll have to give that a try to see if I also get the same issue as you. If I do I'll explore what might get the mirroring to work. Will share my findings. Thanks for y9our question!
Thank you!
@@alexonstory should I share the file privately if you want?
@@FunTheMental-Studios Yeah lets do that and I'll take a look. It'll be about 4 days till I can take a look since I am off right now. You can find my email on the about page on this channel.
why don't you attach the the resource model file to got follow you and practice!
Updated now in the description. Thanks!

Hello... can you please make animation tutorial for beginners ... thank you ...😢
Thanks for the note!
Yes I'll be working on beginner friendly animation stuff soon.
Thank you very much ... I really hope you make it soon .... 😁
@@masterpo1465 I'll try and put something together in the next month or 2. Work has just picked up. But it's the next few tutorials coming out.
Why dont u use Rigify?
The rigs I was using in the tutorial were done with CloudRig. If they were done with Rigify I'd use that.
in character animation..viewport and rendered video isnt same speed....when i review the animation on viewport the speed is going perfect..but when it gets rendered..all the things gets faster automatically....any idea?...why is this happenning
Great question! Most likely what is happening is your getting a slower frame rate in your scene.
2 things to check to make sure your getting consistent results.
First, make sure your scene is set to 24 frps. In your Output properties under Format you should see your Frame Rate say 24fps. Output properties looks like the printer icon on the right side.
Next, turn Text Info on in the Viewport Overlays options. You find that in the top right corner of your big viewport window. It's the two circle icons with the one circle that is solid and the other that is outlined. When playing your animation you will see the fps of your scene displayed on the left upper corner of your viewport window. You want that number to be as close to 24 fps.
If your playback is slow try animating in solid mode and not textured mode.
Hope that helps!
@@alexonstory ohh tnk u so much
.. ur advise of play scene on solid mode not texture worked for me...god bless 👍👍
That's great! Happy to help:)
Is there a dog walk cycle in the future?:)
Yes for sure :)
I'll do different animals come the new year!
I was hearing at first everyone in this streats hates me😂 ...i need an ear doctor😅
haha that would make the line more interesting :D
Have you used blender 4.0? All the layers tabs seem to be missing. You can't view fk arms anymore. Maybe I'm missing something?
Playing with it now. I was noticing that, but I think I was also missing something. Checking tonight. Will let you know soon.
So you can turn on/off control layers when selecting the rig. Under Data Properties - Bone Collections you will see all the different layers. Turn some things on and see what happens. When you find the right layer you can at least name it so you can find it again quickly. I am sure there should be an addon that can make working with these layers more easy.
Hope that helped!
I think that blender studio is still working on a working cloudrig addon for the 4.0 version@@alexonstory
Hello Alex, can I use this model for commercial use or short films for CZcams? please confirm this. Also, I have create a short animation video If you have 10 sec time then please check it out.
Hey!
I checked out the license and yes you can use it. You must give credit.
creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
Yes for sure I'd love to check it out.
i think i just found Bob Ross of animation
:) haha thanks for your note!
So true, this guy is too underrated
I appreciate that!
Hi Alex
Thanks for your work
I have a request could you do a video where a character harvest a field ?
this cutting animation with the wheat falling next czcams.com/video/TaRa-OUUf3Q/video.htmlfeature=shared&t=358
Very interesting! That's for your request.
I have added it to my list and hopefully can get to it at some point:)
You know sir? I'm really scare to animate lip sync 😖😖😖😖
I hear you, it's something that I have struggled with for a good while.
Hopefully this tutorial helps
@@alexonstory you must be joking Sir 😅All of your tutorials always help me🥰
plus every tutorial in your channel have been watched. one thing I don't understand about is about hybrid workflow. May be my English is suck 😅
becoming less human more and more day by day.
Why's that?
great
Thank you!
