Yes! The animation was beautiful. I kinda wish they hadn't cut so much of the manga out and spent a bit more time building up the end but it was still just nice to see it more fully animated.

I dunno if I mentioned it in the description area or not but there's also a Grease Pencil Tools ad-on you can install in blender now that another artist made that comes with a pop-out camera mirror you can tick on/off from the side tool menu pop out, if you wanted to do that instead. : )

Very welcome : 3

No prob. : )

Very welcome! Yeah, Grease Pencil is still a bit lacking on the art essential side but it's still newish and Blender is always doing major updates so I'm sure it'll get up to speed eventually. : ) There was an add-on you could enable for Grease Pencil, I can't remember what it was called, Grease Pencil Essentials maybe, that did a camera flip from the top right side pop-out menu and linked a transform mesh so you could press ctrl+t to warp your drawing like most drawing softwares. I couldn't find it to turn it on in 4.2 LTS version though T_T .They mentioned they took out a lot of add-ons that weren't by Blender themselves from that version to clear up space. You can still get them and download them into Blender if you wanted a camera flip instead though : ) Or just use 4.1 and enable it or just apply a flip to the camera, there are lots of different ways : )

Thanks a lot! I love Yoko Taro's stories! They always manage to pull on my heartstrings. I've played all of the games from Drag on Dragoon, which was renamed Drakenguard 1-3 and Both Niers now. I haven't played Replicant yet because it was a remake for Gestalt but it's on my list! I've always really enjoyed the music in all of them too and own a couple of the soundtracks so this makes me happy to read ^_^ Hope you have fun with it!

@@JaeHaruArt Yeah, sure. The story is good. I will play next NieR game too!

Thanks very much! That was a bit tricky to 'play' out those sounds. They were registered as another instrument sound you very much did have to play them from the keyboard input too. Taking my finger off the note suddenly made that kind of fast buzzing sound you hear that almost sounds like bugs. Then I tweaked it to sections I liked and moved it around a bit. Def a more interesting type of sound to try to produce lol. But I wanted to map's track to have nature sounds so it came out how I wanted in the end.

You're very welcome and happy I could help : 3

Thank you for the nice comment. I'm happy you liked it. I learned a lot working on it : )

@@JaeHaruArt I also saw you had a video on how you did this. I will check out later 😊🙏

@@chellastation Yes, though it's more of a commentary than a tutorial, please feel free to and I appreciate it <3 If you are interested in animating with Blender's Grease Pencil workspace, I do have a proper tutorial on how to easily use it under my tutorials playlist animating a little ghost boy instead : 3

@@JaeHaruArt I look forward to the video 😃. I always wanted to try Blender, especially after seeing Worthikids video. 🤡.

Thank you very much Mai57! <3 <3 <3

Thank you very much! : 3

Happy you liked it. Thanks for giving it a listen <3

Thank you! Also, been a while, hope you're doing well! : 3

Thank you, I'm happy if this was helpful to someone. I can't promise a video like that anytime soon, but If I were to animate a blinking eye, I would rely mainly on layer order to do it. I would have multiple layers animated independently and have the eye white at the bottom of the list so it's behind every other layer, the iris and pupil above it, the lids above that, the lashes above that. I would tick the mask option on the iris layer (that is found where the lock icon and layer title is, it is the tiny dot that says mask,) and as the mask layer, I would choose the eye white layer, so it does not poke out of that region when moved (if moved). The top and bottom lashes would be their own separate layers above the eye white and ball. I would also set up lid layers (under the lashes) so these can be moved to cover up the ball and whites as it closes. I would try not to change the shape of the eye white but rather cover it up with the lid layers instead. From that point on, after setting up the layers to manage, I would begin keyframing, much like in this video, by copying and moving individual layers to close the eye (the lids, the lashes). It would probably be easiest to tweak the shape as it closes with sculpt tools and or curve editing (which allows you to select individual points and move them). Curve editing is a box to the right of the three curve select type boxes (dot, line, et cetera) in the Edit menu on the top, and the sculpt menu is in the same drop-down as edit, object, draw menus and will give you tools to push and pull your drawing into place easier as you are changing the shape to close more and more for the keyframing. Though I can't make a video on this anytime soon, hopefully this helped you a bit in setting up a project like that. Something like that with heavy detail and lots of movement I would rely heavily on using many layers to my advantage for. Good luck! I had tried doing an animation like this in the past, and I did find that with the lashes, taking advantage of the 3D workspace, and actually rotating them in a 3D space for the blink along with the shape editing, really helped them to look great, so just an aditional tip too if you wanted to try that as well : )

Thanks : )

Thank you. I tried keeping her looking as close to the game model as I could in this one : 3

Thank you! You've been very kind ^_^ I'm happy you like so many pieces <3

Thank you very much! I really like the look of art pieces that have more realistic-looking lighting and shading. I'm happy you do too. : 3

Thank you very much! I'm happy you do ^_^

@@JaeHaruArt Your welcome😺

Thank you! There a few very obvious things like the fence lacking the proper perspective that would need to be changed if this was anything more than a tester but I think for something I used to just try to learn a few of the basics in Blender it came out okay : )

Thank you very much! Happy you think so ^_^

Thank you so much, I'm happy you like it! I really really love this manga. And I'm happy a proper adaptation has been announced now, I can't wait!

Thanks man

Back at ya, man. Thanks : )

Thanks! Happy you do ^_^

Thanks! I'm happy you think so : D

Thank you ^_^

Happy you do, thanks! LOVE how they animated that entire scene. So much impact.

Lol. Thanks, man. Happy you like this one. Had a lotta trouble figuring out the composition, NGL.

Thanks a lot o/

Thanks, man : )

Hey, thanks a lot. Happy you think so o/

Thanks. It was fun messing around with the modifers. : )

Lol. Thank you. The second one reminds me of something you'd hear on the Legend of Legaia (PS1 game) soundtrack lol. I might need to update some of my music packs xD

Awesome, hope it helps! Made a reference sheet for this method I use too that you can download here if ya want : 3 It explains it a bit better probably lol www.deviantart.com/skittlespops/art/Quick-anatomy-guidelines-and-checkers-sheet-928219353

@@JaeHaruArt yo thanks a million 😎👍

This was 2 months ago now lmao. Anyway, I literally JUST found out that you can put music on videos that are already uploaded using TH-cam Studio. I didn't know about this since I never mess with that. Since it doesn't look like I'll have to spend hours to re export and re upload anything, putting music on some of these isn't going be the huge time sink that I thought it was going to be, and I've been making my way through trying to add some to the older videos. This one should have some music now too when it's done processing.

Happy you liked it, thanks ^_^

Thanks : )

Happy to hear it : )

Lol. I'm always surprised when you comment on these. I know you use Clip a lot though, so here's something I had in my art folder from finding it for another artist a while ago on how to do it in Clip tips.clip-studio.com/en-us/articles/2901#e23643af : ) Also, little art secret. This is exactly what I did to do Yumei's tights, and I still have her pattern saved in my PS : 3

After looking around, I believe this was moved to Edit mode in version 3.0, and was only on the Draw mode menu bar in older versions. This video was originally recorded with version 2.97 or something. What version are you using? My 3.0 layout sounds the same as yours, and no longer has the curve menu with the Draw mode either. In 3.0, just make sure you're in Edit Mode, and on the selection box tool, and the curve editing and stuff will be at the top there now. It's a tick box at the top, and also has boxes to tick on for type of selections be it points, or strokes, et cetera. Hopefully this helps. o/ and if you DID want to enable anything in the future, you can browse the Add-ons available in the program from the top Edit menu, preferences, add-ons and search for ones. They all have little descriptions on what they do and are for by clicking the little arrows on them.

Thanks so much, goddy! Happy you like it! ^_^
