So You Wanna Make Games?? | Episode 6: Character Animation

- In this video, animators discuss the goals for character animation in a game. They explain how you should think about animation as a series of poses over time. That means an animation is really only as good as its poses. Learn what makes a strong pose, as well as some of the basics of timing and spacing-the keys to believable, satisfying movement.
There's also a huge technical component to animation when it comes to implementation in games. The animators give an overview of state machines and parametric blending, explaining how different animations work together and overlap, reacting to whatever is happening to and around a character at any given time in a game.

Imagine walking into an animation office and people are constantly acting out random motions and then suddenly stop and sit down
The next time I go to an animation office, I'll make sure to grab myself a bag of popcorn
@@knightingirl dont forget the camera
This is literally exactly what I do when animating lmao
That's actually what it's like
3:38 national geographic: The animators - striving to get the pose right
The animators acting has me in tears omg I love this channel so much 😂
@Canaan Wesson You having a girlfriend is even less believable than the fake site/app you're trying to spread
4:10 Really saved himself there
That "Incredible" sounded like ,,Look at these amazing animators in their natural habitat" :'DDD

We're so glad it was helpful, Jakub! Best of luck with your game.

Best game making series ever !
animators: doing random things in the hallway
mocap artists: hi
4:30 is unreally great!
You forgot about keeping some consistency on the mass in the squash and stretch section
this video is super cool
This is so interesting, thank you !
I want to be animator so much more now !
Do you take trainees ?
The animators acting was so funny XD amazing
"whether it's a realistic game" - shows person casually jumping from the first floor of a building :D
But I only have one question if some character punch another character in a face can I make the other character simulat realistic movement automatically
Like using reg doll or something
This video helped me more than I could of hoped
Holy fuck this is good info!

Please make a whole series on animations systems
Please make a whole series on animation
3:31 SO CUTE!!!!!
My dream is to someday work at Riot Games as a Concept Artist or an Animator :D
way to go buddy!
Was there an issue in garen weight painting in his left leg
I wish this series wasnt entirely fixated on 3d games but nonetheless amazing videos!
2D is not mainstream. Riot is.
From experience in game dev i can tell you everything applies to different forms and interpretation in 2D. Riot just picked up what the had at hand which is the material from their games, but every single video applies to 2D in equal measure.
Sayan Biswas “2d is not mainstream” very much is nowadays
You did not mention Shadow of the Colossus in the featured content.
Unforgivable 💔
Another Ryze rework comming soon.
What's the music at 6:29 ?
8:21 I wish timo's stop was truly complete
people: dying on the floor
riot: look at these animators practicing their fall
I know it's an old commentary, but something like that happened in Brazil. A guy was being electrocuted in a college campus, but since he was in the Art department, people thought he was acting and started applauding. The guy is fine now.
anybody know the music that plays at 5:11 ?
what's the difference between principal and senior?
Zyra needs a new run, have you seen her neck in current one? Rory, I know you can do that!
1:36 techsource ?!
is there a way to like a vid twice on youtube?
I remember when working in small team I tried to act something out my PM looked at me worried...
nah i'm not having a seizure, im just an animator
Hmmmm... GAREN!!
When I saw Perry the platypus I jad to stop the video and comment about it.Sorry I just like Perry very much.PERRY THE PLATYPUUUS!!
I really want to be a video game animator . Or animator in general
I want to study something that has to do with animation, concept art, and character design. I prefer the 2D aspect of it, or at least NOT the part where I turn the ideas and characters into video game characters, if you understand what I mean. Video games are not something I care about, thought, so I'm a bit lost. What else can I do? Can anyone please list to me the options I have? And should it be animation that I pursue, or something more specific, does it matter much? Additionally, I'd strongly prefer a BA in London. Are there any good options there? I'm doing research but it's a bit overwhelming. Please help, almighty youtube comment section.
2D animation might be what you are looking for, but it will all depend in the subjects the colleges teach. Try doing a bit of research between the art schools you have around you and look at their curricular subjects. (Mentioned this because in my case i went for 2d animation and most of it was what you described you wanted, but another college near me with 2d animation was having the type of courses that you don't like, so it depends)
苦白石【CleanClouds Channel】 thank you! which uni did you go to, if you don’t mind sharing?
@Chris Vanekova I'm currently studying at Kyoto Seika University.
I'm working as a tv 2d cartoon animator, went to study 2d Character Animation at VANARTS in Vancouver, though I'm sure there are some lovely places in London. However you don't HAVE to go study to get into the industry if you show your ability to do what they need it's fine. Learning is a lot easier with a teacher tho.
You seem to just like drawing as I did, I find that I'm actually super into rigging 3d/ 2d and animation. You could get into storyboarding, layout, animation, revisions, concept drawing, illustration etc. a lot is needed in commercials, magazines, ads, books, cartoons, movies, and games all need artists in different parts of the process.
Do some investigation and look into what makes you feel would be the best fit for you. Goodluck!
Felisong Thank you!!
4:33 band kids
Stamp : 5:20 (line of action)
still going
What is a good Animation program ?
Maya
Ty man :D
@@bezoro2008 for 3D, at least.
@@bezoro2008 Just grab a student license for 3 years. Online schools works as input.
Blender to start out. Maya, I believe you can get for free if you're a student, but just get blender to start out with.
I want to model , rig and animate the character . Is that possible ?
i dont know if its like useful info now because it was 1 year ago but its a straight up no if you want to be better take only 1 and get good at it it doesnot mean you cant even learn basis of other 2 but get good at 1 and go on with that you cant do all together its like a game and modeler and rigger and animator are 3 types of player in a role it doesnot mean you can learn other roles too but only basis after you learn ur primary role
Are LoL characters animated with stopmotion or is there other method (that wasn’t showed here)?
It's not stop motion but I get it. I guess that's the only way to animate something. Like he said, to animate you must do a lot of different poses, so.. yeah, "stop motion" haha
In Disney the animators had Mirrors so that they could act out things like facial expressions and mouth placement when talking.
The lol champions are animated without stop motion they are animated by hand in 3ds max
@Vivim idk but I have watched a video on the last illaoi skin animation and they used 3ds max that's it
4:50 madman
animator in their natural habitats lol
is the narrator art done by hyperbole and a half? or just a similar style?
It was me DIO

Skylar looks like a very old 16 year old

Pls change the walking animation of Fiora ... because before a week ago I had this feeling that you changed it, she now walks so stiff only with enough movementspeed it looks normal ... So pls change (back)
im pretty sure one of the animators at riot works on it (and few other) he has a twitter account where he posts them and asks for feedback
First

How do you animate with your eyes closed? Okay that's racist
