    Thank you for taking the time to highlight the importance of considering visibility in walk cycles. It's crucial for us at the moment, and adding just a line or two about it can make a significant difference. Walk cycles pose a considerable challenge in animation, and I appreciate someone shedding light on the plight of us animators!

    Hey Mark- I followed along with this video and learned a TON. You are such an inspiration to me as an animator and its incredible we live in a world where we can access educational content from pros like yourself for free, thank you so much. Walk cycles can be so challenging but I love your workflow here, I find it difficult to build pose to pose but using this spline method makes so much sense and prevents a lot of the popping I was having building pose to pose. I feel a lot more confident in tackling different kinds of walk cycles and make something for my reel. My goal is to be a creature animator like yourself one day, your work is such an inspiration!

    A genuine masterclass. Thank you so much for this in-depth explanation. Your workflow with the geometry cache was really smart and helpful. I used the same rig and it helped me to understand the poses and controller rotations. As a side note, I used Studio Library for saving my poses and its mirror script works better for me.

    It's a great masterclass video on generic walk cycle. Thank you for giving tips, nice and clean workflow. I will definitely use this knowledge to create walk cycle. I always had a hard time animating walk cycles but now it seems much easier after watching this masterclass video. Thank you so much will share my progress on linkedin.

    • @mrnoface3840
      @mrnoface3840 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      even after converting the mp4 to .mov files - I got an error. Any assistance is helpful. Thanks in advance.

    • @albertobloch9633
      @albertobloch9633 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I had the same problem. It sounds silly, but I duplicated the file and renamed it. Where it said ".mp4," I wrote ".mov," and it worked just fine.

  • @macitseferi1843

    Is the flexibility of the body only valid for manual animation or can I get the same result when I apply mocap?

  • @Empara_Nox
    @Empara_Nox 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Question from a beginner ,I'm starting to learn making a game in UE5 ,i have very specific ideas for the animations, so which software should i learn? UE5 inbuilt, Maya or Blender? Maya seems easier and more specialized.

      There are a few interviews on the internet that talk about this, a good one that MAY still hold true today is an interview called "Insight into the life of a games animator" (2015) from MCVuk

    I'm about to just drop Maya completely..I started learning with blender and I just simply dragged and dropped the reference into the viewport and it displayed. None of the reference files work, none of it displays in the viewport. I converted them to several file types and none of them work. I converted them image sequences and it won't show the options to import that. I do some digging and apperantly I need a specific codec??? This stuff should be mentioned. How can a program possibly be this convoluted??? I'm truly baffled by this. It should be so simple, in the video you easily did it. But for some reason it's impossible for me to simply import a reference video. What a motivation killer jesus christ man..

    • @kozakni
      @kozakni 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Same! Came to the comments to see if anyone was having the same issues; I followed the in-video steps (View > Image Plane > Import Movie) and it imports as a thin line no matter which viewport I'm in (even in Persp view, when I tumble around it remains a useless line). I've spent more time trying to troubleshoot this than on the scene itself and it's so annoying -_-
      If anyone has a fix, please let us know!

      Bro simple h goes to after effect go to composition setting add to render queue export at png sequence make sure you remove _ and replace from. Dot maya import image use image sequence then video play

      Try in an orthographic view when importing reference, Maya is a pain at times but it is a great program and there is a reason why we use it in the industry today.
