This video reminded me why this is the only tutorial-focused channel I subscribe to. Breaking down the animation stages was a nice flash back to watching videos frame by frame in school, which is a part of my brain I thought had atrophied away. Keep teaching how to fish!
Such a kind comment. Thank you! That means a lot
Yes Nicky. I think we would appreciate you delving into and breaking down AAA video game animations and mechanics, and making tutorial series like this
Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed this concept! Thank you Ptah!
It may look simple at first but once you start to analyze it you realize the amount of effort that goes behind such a small visual detail (compared with the game's total size). Nice breakdown, Nicky!
Thanks so much Alex! :)
Will wait for this video with great patience!
Episode 2 of the Procedural Animation series is finally here! Let's see what we can learn from an analysis of the incredible animations of Uncharted, and how we might use that knowledge when to recreate procedural animation back in Unity! Next episode, we start coding! Hope you are all loving this dive into procedural animation content! 💛

Thank you for the support!
0:41 yes this feels very natural indeed, sometimes I do this at home
Fantastic breakdown. Love your theoretical approach to how to think about complex systems.
I waited so long for this breakdown that I actually figured it out myself. But I'm just really glad it's out. I see some things I should have put more thought into.
The best way to learn!! Awesome job!
Really good analysis, can't wait for the implementation ;)
Thanks so much TNTC - great to see you here!
Very informative and I’m a big fan of your video editing style. Looks great and helps emphasize important points as well keeps the audience engaged throughout the video. Keep it up man!
You are always making so great totorials / videos. Always enjoy to watch and learn from you. Thank you! :)
these are great. I've been following your videos for the last few days and have soaked in so much knowledge from these workflows. Right now I'm just wrapping my head around inheritance coding, and how I should use it for this use case. Keep it up!
This is great to breakdown the mechanics of the games. Also a great video thanks for your time and effort.
Thanks for watching!
I definitely like these breakdown videos. I look forward to watching rest of the video series.
I have shared this channel link in my game dev group! This channel is so helpful!
*please* tell me it's not going to take another whole month for the next episode 😭 this is exactly what we need for our project and the wait has been so long. I'm itching to start coding 🙏
I’ll try my best! I do anticipate that the coding portions will be able to be released at a faster rate! Thank you for the interest 🙏
I've been coding in C# and Unity for 4 years. Your videos are soooo high quality and fun that I wish you existed back then! keep up good work.
Ive been asking for this!!
Thank you for the interest and patience!
It's cool but it starts to feel weird when Nathan randomly slides his hand across every wall possible
Just for you and 5 more...
It's like corona but in reverse, zero walls touched equals death
i never thought about all the steps that goes into creating this. this video was extremely helpful thank you a lot!
This breakdown was perfect!
Thank you so much 💛
Nice analysis! Great production values on the video too.
Yes please do more such breakdowns. Really love your content.
Interest noted! Thank you for the kindness!
Finally found the time to watch this!
I've been dreaming of something like this ever since I was able to play and became curious about games. Thanks, man. You deserve all the success in the world!
Hey thank you! I’m glad you liked it!!
This series is fantastic, its proposal and its applicability are very nice.
Love to hear that. Thank you!
Great video
Immediately subscribed
Hello, yes i think that the breakdown is a good idea. Thanks for all this amazing videos. Waiting for the next one :)
Really really loved it
Great video, I love your explanations and visuals.
Would love to see a video about the Unity changes and what it means for potential developers. The way you explain things are amazing and I bet a short video explaining the situation and giving your two cents would do some serious numbers for analytics considering how widespread the outcry has been.
Really nice breakdown. Keep up with this type of content.
Thank you Shinjikun!
Actually the first game to have that effect is Totems, by the creator of outcast, elsewhere entertainement, later 10tacles belgium, but due to the financial crisis of 2008, the game never came out. They called the system SESS, since the character was dumbed a lara croft competitor, tomb raider underground added the effect in its game, along with other SESS like effect, such that reacting to flame. If you find teaser of the game (xbox360) you can see this effect in actions.
Yes, i love the breakdown. Please more from this. Also Uncharted's Animation System is so awesome. The GDC Talk is also very interesting. Looking forward to see more from this series on your channel. :)
Thanks so much Laune! Looking forward to sharing more 🙂
Strong breakdown. A good basis to go off for people already confident with procedural animation.
Weckar! Thanks so much! Your input means a lot. And yea, I was hoping for exactly that. Anyone who already knows what they’re doing or wants to try to make it themselves should be able give it a go off of this
Amazing tutorials thank you so much for this.
Thank you for the kindness
Flawless
💛
Really it's good explanation .
Awesome!
thank you!
Nicky, will you also be showing us how to procedurally create the reactions to bumping into npcs and ducking for cover from gun fire?
Cool vid. Subbed
Appreciate it!
Oh my goodness I was only just thinking bout this last night, how characters brush foliage or casually touch a wall or tree as they go past as not many games that I know barely do this, I only thought about it after Tomb raider Underworld how Lara brushes aside a fern as she walks past it, some games really have that much more attention to detail than others and little stuff like this really makes you feel apart of the world you inhabit just that little bit more, this is an interesting watch, thankyou, can you think of other gameplay mechanics that stand out for you, the only other one I can think of is Farcry Blood Dragon when he dramatically reloads his weapon spinning it around n whatnot before he fires the next shot, unnecessary but entertaining none the less, I do appreciate little things like this as it definitely stands out in my mind over time
Masterpiece of a game (series) ❤
@iHeartGameDev
HI,
I think you might be mistaken that the scripting behind this animation is using a state machine.
I think rather that it's using the hybrid approach, that's that there's an underlying state machine handling the more basic character movement logic (tied to the anims) and then there's a behaviour tree running on top of that state machine - If you consider the way that the animations for the character are layered and transition this would be the cleanest approach and I'd imagine the pros at Naughty Dog would defiantly be as slick as possible.
Really enjoyed the video and your others too, many thanks : )
Hey that's totally possible! I'm just going off of how I remade it myself but my final product is not as smooth as theirs. It's definitely possible! Wish we could get an official answer
@@iHeartGameDev Sweet yeah! Looking forward to seeing : )
That would be great for sure
oh no 1 moth for every epsiode ? its so hard to wait
Hopefully I can pump it out faster!
please make videos on how to make environments in unity
I wonder if you also work at an AAA Studio 🤔
*Btw: Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next ep 👍
Thank you for the kind words! And nope! I work as an app developer professionally
awesome video
Thank you!!
Great Video, I'm waiting to see the codes!
Thank you! We start coding next episode!!
Please make a video about 3rd person .. multiple weapons systems with ik
Sounds fun!
How is it more difficult to create all of the steps under one class vs. Creating five different classes? I'm very new to this so just seems confusing. Great video.
Thanks! I have a video about state machines that does a better job explaining than I can in a response here. Highly recommend checking it out: czcams.com/video/Vt8aZDPzRjI/video.htmlsi=WbNcT5J-5fEOXXfZ
@@iHeartGameDev the video you suggested explained what I was missing. The key factor in this specific animation is touching the wall. If I were to take just one class and explain the rules for touching the wall within that one class it would be a very lengthy and messy explanation. It does seem a lot cleaner to break it up into smaller classes that way I can specifically instruct what that class' rules are when it comes to touching the wall. More importantly it's much cleaner in a complex animation like this. If there's ever a problem with the animation itself I can look at what state the problem is in and more quickly fix it. Love the way you teach visually.
@@dungeonmasterdave1617 hey! That’s awesome that you not only went and watched the video but you understood it perfectly. Thanks so much for the kindness and great work!
Do videos about Red Dead 2. It has the most insane animations in the history of art.
😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
I bet there's a plugin on the marketplace that can automate this for you already.
Probably! But making it from scratch is fun!
@@iHeartGameDev absolutely agreed! making cool stuff from nothing is one of the greatest pleasures in development.
will he will catch infection if he keep doing that
goddamit i wish this was going to be done in UE. This is EXACTLY what i needed to learn. Maybe they’ll be things that can cross, but blueprints does not mean coding at all :(
Maybe one day I’ll give UE a try! But hope you enjoyed the analysis!
now how you deal with that when you have a weapon ? or you have to hide behind a wall or climb and jump
The beauty of a state machine is that it makes it easier to handle everything you’re asking. It will allow us to more easily determine if these interactions should be activated at all, or to redirect to different states that better handle the situation
Do this with the last of us part ll 🥺❤
this doesn't seem very hygienic, touching every dirty surface possible
Be sure to wash your hands :)
Oh wooden doors with rusty nails, gotta touch them
make red dead 2 horse animation
Great! But why mention Uncharted 4 only? I recall seeing this behavior way back in 2013 in Tomb Raider reboot as well. Just saying. Nice vid and breakdown!
Now think about redfall animation 😂😂
With all respect... this is why we have sh... games when so much time is wasted on unimportant and barely noticeable animation instead of gameplay =(
