@@jeandenishaas Hey Jean-Denis Haas you released how to control with an ik hand, but you haven't released ik vs Fk it's been 7 months, and I'm still waiting for this video !
Currently I've been experimenting my workflow and recently I just used IK arms for a Parkour Scene and I kinda like how it turns out. Personally I like Animating with IK hands rather than FK. I'll try that Tracing and Baking Trick that you've mentioned. Thanks JD!
@@jeandenishaas Definitely relate to that. at first it's easy to block and follow the reference, but when I moved on the spline pass. that's where the reality comes. hopefully you share more tips on animating IK arms, especially for a newbie like me, soon.
"He's happier about that" This is why I love your content. XD A really good video, you covered everything I love and hate about IK along with the different types of IK movement that are available on different rigs. It's challenging but so rewarding as well. The TRON example really helped a lot! A video demonstrating and tackling the challenges when we switch from FK->IK->FK in a single camera shot (or if it's even wise to do that) would be awesome (only if you don't mind making it x_x). Thank you so much for this wonderful video, JD! :D P.S. Your dog is really adorable >_
If the video was being great, you reached greatness putting Tron Legacy there; I think that's the same guy as the teaser (it's from the teaser trailer). Thanks for the tips as always JD.
sometimes i come with inconsistencies with ik arms, precisely, ik legs the way i animate the leg using ik, the feet does not stay in place and i have to fiddle with the easing values a lot untill i match the exact value for them to hover only a little
@@PlusHappylab I’d say pretty much all the time yeah but I know a few who do. Probably more common to do FK but it also depends on the action and how rigs are built. For arcs I use motions trails, draw arcs on my screen, or rough it out in Fk and then finish it up in IK, etc.
I seen a video of a dancer and the title of the video was "This guy is pure water" I think his dancing was conveying a message to me as an animator, try to remove all emphasis of the bone joints as hinges. Instead, make the joints vanish into part of a wave of motion. As always, there's exceptions.
Just watched this amazing playlist of Most common animation mistakes & I would say I've learned a lot. Thankyou ! Saving this Playlist to re- watch later. 💗
Hope this is helpful! Definitely very common!
Jean-Deni what's your opinion on Maya's humanIK system?
@@KenOmollo Haven’t worked enough with it yet to form a good opinion!
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks...
@@anandsembi1536 Great!

I was literally scrolling through Twitter, thinking about issues I was having with Ik arms in a current shot. That was magic. Thank you.
Love it! Perfect timing!
@@jeandenishaas and yeah, the arc was what was making me mad 😂
@@pudgybudgie94 Hahaha! So common!
I living in Spain and I can understand half of things, but im so grateful for your videos. Thanks for you help
You’re very welcome!

Yeah I like it better too but it is still tricky to make the arms not look like IK.

@@rexildur3266 Totally agree, tricky once you’re polishing it. Definitely will do another clip!

Thank you!!
And yep, started to animate personal clips at home again and will do demos this year covering all kinds of topics!
Interesting talk about IK arms, defiantly learnt a few things and a better way to use those IK. Thanks ^_^
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
FNA is back!!!!!! I'm guilty of some of these. Also "unnatural" translations
Back indeed!
Another great tip my friend.
I will share this everywhere.💗
I appreciate that!

😁
Yeah it was the vfx concept test for Comic Con, which then got released as a teaser.
Awesome video, thank you!
Thank YOU!
*Jean-Denis Haas says something*
Me: write that down, write it down.
Hahaha! ☺️
very helpful 🙂
Great!
I'm going to be trying this for the first time on Blender. I typically just animate a single bone at a time but that takes a lot of time LOL
😁
I'm a student and i have the (bad?) habit of animating all my shots in Ik, maybe your fk vs ik video will change my mind :)
I do most of it in IK as well, I don't see it as a bad habit HAHA! As long as you can hide the look of IK arms!
sometimes i come with inconsistencies with ik arms, precisely, ik legs
the way i animate the leg using ik, the feet does not stay in place and i have to fiddle with the easing values a lot untill i match the exact value for them to hover only a little
I’m not quite sure I understand. With IK the feet should stay in place. What exactly is it that you do?
@@jeandenishaas actually, its a 2D ik issue, with toonboom premium, not maya or blender
@@age3rcm ah okay
It’s so nice to learn from you again, may be after a long time. Thank you so very much. It was nice to meet Cindy, we have a cat here called Cindy.
It’s Indy 😁, and yes, it’s been a while!
Oh, sorry Indy, hope I haven’t hurt your feelings.... :-)
@@raremilindchitale Haha! He’s fine!
Wooo FNA is back!! And I'm not even a new animator! :D
😁
Thanks!!
My pleasure!
jd do you always animate ik. if so thats a cool thing not many people do? how do you manage the arcs ?

Absolutely!
Everything you upload is helpful. Thank you from Italy 😊
Thanks for saying that! ☺️

You’re welcome! Dare I say am important list!
Love Indy’s cameo 👏🏼 thank you for notes on this...
😁
Sure thing!
After so long! Thank you for making this! :D
PS- Loved Indy's cameo! :)
Yep, been a while! But now it’s back!
Parenting and baking out a sphere as a guide on an FK wrist for the IK wrist = brilliant! FK/IK switching can be such a pain.
😁
the ik video i needed
😁
