To Polish your animation, you must add Reksio, Pomysłowy Dobromir, and Koziołek Matołek to it. Then, no matter how bad your animation will be, it would still be Polished.

Hi Owenferny , please can you make a video of character turning 180 degree and start walking.

Watching experienced animator going through their workflow is such a great way to learn! Thank you for the content

I canot find the menu for the toon shelf you are using . Ive tried switching to Arnold, renderer tab view and no toon options apart from the going to the hypershade window. help?

Hi! It doesn't work with maya 2024.2. I can't run. Can you help me please? ModuleNotFoundError: file <maya console> line 1: No module named 'dwpicker'

Extra helpful!! Especially the instance geo feature, mind-blowing! Thank you!

Amazing video , I'm a recent animation graduate and I've always wondered what the bloody hell polish is, taking out my note book every time I watch you're videos , thank you so much for this video

Did you playblast because of aiToon only working on CPU? I was trying all day...different back end things. :D

this is so good i dont know why it has so few views..it deserves more!! 4 min in and there is so much information...although i have to admit that im manually "mirroring" the poses because i dont have animbot..does anyone know of any good alternatives?

I found your Channel today and instantly subscribed 👌

Please can you make this video again, but this time talk about your thought process as well. Would really really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

Hello , and thank you for the video, what is the software you are using to draw over ? Thank you in advance

Great video thank you so much Owen. I think a lot of animators starting out think they absolutely have to go to spline eventually, but imo some things just look better in stepped. Depends what kind of style you are going for. For me, stepped is better for fast snappy action and spline better for acting and slower movements.

Thanks for the great advice! I just found dis channel!

Another great video! Thank you! I am a Blender user, but thinking about maybe learning Maya as well! Maya Indie is around 300 a year I think, which is pretty good!!

great video thank you Owen!!

I like this. Pointing out how much work is made into the "simple" and complex shots. Explaining what each frame means too! Thank you for doing this

That's super useful, thank you! What do you think about using Cascadeur for animations?

hello owen, do you have the full version of this video... at times I have the impression of not understanding what you are doing. thank you very much for what you do.

Hi. I'm a professional 3D artist like yourself and it's disappointing to hear statements like : Some people want to do blender and be a youtuber and make minecraft animations.. Have you stopped to have a look around the industry and seen what professional studios and artists are doing with Blender right now? The guys at Sony are using it for the spiderverse films for example. And the amount of professional animators that have made the jump from Maya to blender is pretty substantial. Blender is used for game animation as well. So perhaps there was a better way to say why Maya would be a good choice. and I'm a Maya artist as well..

Champion! I've been pioneering this at work as I fumbled through hands-on learning it, but so many tidbits I had no idea about like the search and replace and mirroring weren't obvious how to utilize yet are going to be huge for me. Thanks for this!

would be cool to see fight scene breakdowns from Invincible!

I could literally watch you do this frame by frame for the entire damn show lol

Hey guys, do you know any software used to track and count key frames like the one being used as a reference video?

Can we break down the animation of owenferny

this is really nice to listen to as a junior animator whose just entered the industry! I'd love to hear your take on showreels and what, from your experience, recruiters have told you you're doing right/ wrong and overall just how to make a banging reel! Thanks for the videos :D

please guide more animation tutorial in maya

Reuploaded due to audio issues (I'm still learning) Hope you like this breakdown/analysis of the new Arcane trailer, I've been trying out a few different types of video and I really like this format personally and would love to do more, let me know what you guys think and what I should take a look at next!

This is a fantastic video! I would've loved to hear this back when I was at uni

Great video! Polish pass always seemed like a bit of a mystery to me, but you've explained it superbly! I would love to see an entire series where you go through every step of the process! Personally I feel like I learn the most when I see how other people do things

Thank you for this and all of your videos! This video didn't bring new knowledge to me, but I felt really self-assured hearing you explain all of this. I feel like I'm in the correct path, but sometimes I need to hear somebody with lots of more experience to reassure myself. I did the online course path and right now I'm working on my reel. I'm trying to learn from lots of sources like you said. So thank you for your videos, as they're really useful!!

I myself am self learning character animator and everything you said is actually true. Its not that I want to boycott the better path to animation(taking online courses) its just there is limitation in my country. I love to see more of these kind of contents. I love how you were clear and factual about everything related to the journey. I m really motivated to work hard. Some of the content i didnt know existed before this comment like there was youtube version for the Animator's survival kit 😛. In summery, Thanks for inspiring me to grow as an artist and to animate more to learn more. 😁

i miss animdojo....shame they closed down

spend hour and hours in front of a screen watching tutorial, references and practicing, its a brutal uphill battle

almost at 6k, LETS GO. Great stuff man!

I think this is all good feedback! I'm currently post-grad and I relate to a lot of these points, both during school as a generalist, and afterwards of continuing to grow and learn outside of an educational environment. A big help for me has been trying to do daily animations exercises, just letting something be trying out body mechanics or acting, and not continuing it after. Being okay with not making every animation a portfolio piece and using it for learning instead, making the mistakes and understanding what the purpose of the exercise is focusing on, and each day or each animation has gotten a bit easier! Weight shifts, jumping, running, punching, flipping, getting up from a chair, pose change, face change, lipsync, hand gestures, there's so much! And by letting it only exist for the day or two let's you try more poses and actions than I personally was able to experience in School Love the videos!

how to add cloths on this rig?

Love your tips always!

If I could suggest a few topics for your next videos, I’d love to see some on animating faster and on animating the neck, shoulders, and head. I feel like I often neglect those areas, and they end up taking away from the shot instead of adding texture to the animation. Keep up the great work, man!

This is an amazing video on analyzing what you need to polish, but I was hoping you would explain how to actually do the polish though. Maybe in another video. But this was still helpfull for sure!

Great resource. Thank you!

❤❤❤ thank you so much

'I made this in a masterclass in 2 hours' is super fast - especially when you're talking and explaining in that time! - Seeing that process ( and why it was so fast! ) would be awesome!

I love your videos😍 Very informative, Thanks for your effort🙏

Yes. Please do the polish pass please. Thanks for the great video

I would love to see a walk cycle for a baby, toddler or little child and their behavers, broken down step by step. Because a child's walk is a lot different then an adult.

Great video Owen! Thanks for sharing!

In the right side what are this function this function are not in my maya

Great video! Would love to see a follow video up where you actually polish the animation in Maya and then seeing both side by side

Currently starting to polish my assignment for AnimSchool and this video comes in at the right time!!
