Love the little detail of your character's glasses rotating to face the camera when he's looking away! It's a fun little cue to indicate where the character's looking, even if he's not facing the viewer!
I just started playing with it and it's quite amazing and intuitive. Of course you can brake everything with misclick in a complex software, that's why you save often.
That intro was awesome XD But ahhhh shoot, now you got the NLA editor doing things I didn't even think were possible..I've used it as minimally as possible, looks like thats gonna change 😭
very thankful you actually included a part on how to integrate NLA into a full animation. I think part of why people talk about it so little is that they think it's either strictly for video games or a separate animation workflow entirely. Would love to see this expanded, with a full walkthrough of NLA and normally keyed animation bits mixed together
*I’ve been using blender for 2 months and I start using the NLA without knowing what it was (I’m new in animation, but have 12 years of video editing experience), and for me it was like a walk in the park… Feels like home to me.*
I've been using the NLA editor exclusively for individual game state animations, then exporting to Unreal. I had no idea how many features flew unnoticed under my radar! Thanks for always striving after knowledge for us newbies!
Enjoyed the Wizard of Oz opening, and the animation that was demonstrating all the things the NLA editor can do. Totally agree with the convoluted workflow of the NLA. I discovered it's features while crunching on a project and hated it. Then I gave it a go again without the pressure of a project and discovered how powerful it can be. It's really good once you get used to it.
You're a treasure. I've been pulling my hair trying to find how I can simply blend and bake two actions together similar to Unity or Godot's blend spaces. Thanks for this amazing tutorial on this unappealing tucked away editor!
Thank you very much for mentioning the part with the same bones multiple times. That is such an important information and things like that often are only mentioned once and very fast, so later half of the people haven't heard or remembered and are wondering why nothing works.
This is great, I’m moving from Maya and didn’t even know Blender had animation layers. Thanks for all the great information. I went to school for animation and when I couldn’t afford it anymore I pretty much threw my main hobby away. It almost hurt to do it because I felt like there was no point. Watching your tutorials has been giving me the itch again and I just wanted to say thank you.
It was very informative to have all these features packed in a one video, thank u Joey! I already know how NLA mostly works but the time at 15:28 was the point i was struggling alot. Beautifully explained!
PLEASEEE, post way more!! Trying to follow other tutorials and it seems like everybody else is doing things the longest or weirdest way possible. You are my absolute favourite, you deserve more subscribers.
when i was using the mixamo in the beginning and stock animation i learn a lot about NLA (it really sucks). now i know how to animate myself, so I just stick to the graph and edit the animation manually
I've been searching for blender animation tutorials for days and this was the most informative video I've watched. Thank you for this! I also loved the cute animations you added
This is the right sweet spot of entertaining and informative. This is the NLA tutorial I've needed for some time. I shamefully admit I quit trying because it was counterintuitive. Thank you for giving me the prefect excuse to try again and figure it out!
@Joey Carlino - The introduction to this video are EPIC!!! Please more videos like these ones!!! You are next Blender GURU!!! Keep going in style like you have on this video - it was really entertaining and a lot of info I learned!
ooooh I was tearing my hair out the other week about this exact issue. How the heck do I go from walk cycle into a stopping pose then have the character do some other actions? And here you are, just showing me exactly how to do it! I'm in the middle of making a two minute animation and you've just saved me a whole lot of time and whole lot of headaches. :) Thanks so so much for making this. I didn't know the NLA was this crazy powerful..... this is really awesome what it can do. :) Will definitely be using the NLA Editor heaps more in future. Thanks again so much. Super appreciated. :)
I just want to say bless you! I have an OC sorta like you do and I would like to animate for my videos. Having actions you can place in certain spots on the timeline is a really big help to speed up the process instead of having to manually animate!!
I think for me personally I found the NLA editor was only really useful for repeatable projects so like if you have a TH-cam avatar, I don't know if you've ever done that, but for one off projects it's just been faster and easier for me to just animate without it.
The wizard reminds me of the Smiling friends landlord asking Alan "hey do you to hang out and smoke weed while we goll our bellies with dr pepper and play speed racers for the PS-twoooooooo" and he declines
Thank you so much for this. I am slowly dipping my toes into animation and this is already helping a lot. I'll probably have to re watch it a few times, but already knowing I have these tools to use in Blender is great. Also that pig wearing the witches hat at the end looks familiar. It's as though I and others where there when you made it as part of some challenge.
Interesting animation style I like it! Great mix of learning and entertainment. I will look forward to more of your animation tutorials so I subbed! I am learning animation myself and maybe by the end of the year I can move on from the bouncing ball animations to the basics of characters I am learning now with my mentor haha. And maybe blender will have an awesome NLA editor in a year or two when I would have learned enough about animation by then hopefully!
The learning curve seems steep, but if it means producing quality content, than it is worth it. It would be helpful it is was simpler, but it is what it is
I watched this tutorial like a couple of times and some others of yours and I am proud I have made a nice character and am animating it and this has been crucial for my workflow as I am practically using the same techniques you teach in your videos. thank you very much.
I know about it but I don't know how to use it so I don't know if I should hate it or love it but after watching this video I wish I did not know about it.
Hope one day blender gets rid of the confusing user system. Deleting things on its own if nothing is currently using it, making it a headache to find out what is using something you want to delete. Just make it a save and delete system.
I feel pitty for the NLA guy now 😢. But, seriously the complex animation approach like you showed at the end of the video has bothered me for quite some time. There is a lot tutorials teaching how to animat a walk cycle but almost no one shows how to embed it in a complex scene. Good job, sir.
How did you weight painted this charecter mouth? I've downloaded that charecter from gumroad and I've been trying for 2 days, but I still can't get it right. Make a tutorial on how you made this character.
Love the little detail of your character's glasses rotating to face the camera when he's looking away! It's a fun little cue to indicate where the character's looking, even if he's not facing the viewer!
It reminds me of traditional 2d animation, like how Mickey Mouse's ears always face the "Camera"
the NLA editor feels like an RPG strapped to a magic wand. It can do amazing things but one misclick and you'll accidentally blow everything up.
Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.
That's my feeling too.
I just started playing with it and it's quite amazing and intuitive. Of course you can brake everything with misclick in a complex software, that's why you save often.
I feel bad for the wizard :< He wanted to hang out some more...
That intro was awesome XD
But ahhhh shoot, now you got the NLA editor doing things I didn't even think were possible..I've used it as minimally as possible, looks like thats gonna change 😭
The outro is quite good as well 😆

I absolutely love the NLA editor. It took me forever to adjust but when I did MAN

best nla editor tutorial in the entire internet. Nothing to envy maya anim layers, when you know this. Thank you so much for sharing this.
You're a treasure. I've been pulling my hair trying to find how I can simply blend and bake two actions together similar to Unity or Godot's blend spaces. Thanks for this amazing tutorial on this unappealing tucked away editor!
Now I want a whole episode of that wizard and Joey lol
Your skill in explaining these things is amazing!
The most creative tut I have ever seen ,totally
Thank you very much for mentioning the part with the same bones multiple times. That is such an important information and things like that often are only mentioned once and very fast, so later half of the people haven't heard or remembered and are wondering why nothing works.
Wizard playing NOITA!!!??? based if true
Thanks!

I LOVE using the NLA.
It was very informative to have all these features packed in a one video, thank u Joey!

This is bonkers I'm absolutely gonna use this from now on thank you
Coolest animation ever
when i was using the mixamo in the beginning and stock animation i learn a lot about NLA (it really sucks).
now i know how to animate myself, so I just stick to the graph and edit the animation manually
I've been searching for blender animation tutorials for days and this was the most informative video I've watched. Thank you for this! I also loved the cute animations you added
OKAY, it's time I finally sit down and learn this stupid thing, it's gonna make my life a lot easier
Excellent tutorial. Perfect speed and fun animation to provide just the right amount of context.
I’m not using blender anymore but I keep watching your videos as a cartoon, I love your animation and characters. Thank you ❤
This is the right sweet spot of entertaining and informative. This is the NLA tutorial I've needed for some time. I shamefully admit I quit trying because it was counterintuitive. Thank you for giving me the prefect excuse to try again and figure it out!
Thank you a lot for all your tutorials. You're making learning Blender so much easier for me.
The amount of work put in this video is impressive! Thank you!
@Joey Carlino - The introduction to this video are EPIC!!! Please more videos like these ones!!! You are next Blender GURU!!! Keep going in style like you have on this video - it was really entertaining and a lot of info I learned!
I both love and hate how detailed the animation layer wizard’s hands are, how’d you make the material for em??
Haha thanks. I texture painted them with a pencil style brush
Thanks for letting me know about this feature
It's similar to MotionBuilder's Story feature.
Very helpful
ooooh I was tearing my hair out the other week about this exact issue. How the heck do I go from walk cycle into a stopping pose then have the character do some other actions?
And here you are, just showing me exactly how to do it! I'm in the middle of making a two minute animation and you've just saved me a whole lot of time and whole lot of headaches. :)

I just want to say bless you! I have an OC sorta like you do and I would like to animate for my videos.
Having actions you can place in certain spots on the timeline is a really big help to speed up the process instead of having to manually animate!!
The more videos I watch, the more I want to do Blender and get extremely happy to have decided to get all the time to learn it.
I love your videos dude, you are the best blender creator on TH-cam. Thanks for the knowledge and the entertainment!
This is fantastic. Packed with a ton of information.
NLA editor is actually overpowered
Nice video btw
This is a masterpiece
And also a great tutorial
I think for me personally I found the NLA editor was only really useful for repeatable projects so like if you have a TH-cam avatar, I don't know if you've ever done that, but for one off projects it's just been faster and easier for me to just animate without it.

love the animations at the beginning and end
Thank you so much for this. I am slowly dipping my toes into animation and this is already helping a lot. I'll probably have to re watch it a few times, but already knowing I have these tools to use in Blender is great.
Also that pig wearing the witches hat at the end looks familiar. It's as though I and others where there when you made it as part of some challenge.
needed more tutorials on character animation..!! i love it
Friend, do you read my mind? I thought about this a couple of days ago. And here you are! Thanks a lot!
dude never seen a tutorial this creative lol love it
thanks for amazing video - this is so helpful! also love the animated skits :D
Thanks for an amazing walk through, I learned a lot
I forgot about NLA in blender, I feel like watching a whole different software 😵 Thanks for sharing this.
This intro deserves an award💯💯🔥🔥
Your animation is really cute :3
You're truly great. Thank you, brother.
bro ! are u serious ??? your animation is incredible i am not joking, u should start an animation show ; that's crazy good
LOOOOL I loved the intro
This is great information thank you!
amazing animations! your channel helps me a lot in blender! thank you
Big man!
Can you please do a tutorial on how you completely did the intro video😢. Would love it very much.
Mon amigo you have saved me thank you
The noita in the end :)
Beautiful
I haven't seen it yet but I know it's awesome. dropppalike
Interesting animation style I like it! Great mix of learning and entertainment. I will look forward to more of your animation tutorials so I subbed!

That cool animation short 😊
I love the NLA editor
saving this for later
15:20 What is that action stash thing...is that necessary (because i have read somewhere that it is usefull if you keep the default pose on the base
amazing!!!!!!!
Lesgo new Joey Carlino video
Joey I'm sorry
About what?
….ABOUT WHAT??
WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DRINK?!
The learning curve seems steep, but if it means producing quality content, than it is worth it. It would be helpful it is was simpler, but it is what it is
Amazing intro!
Amazing excellent tutorial! ❤️❤️
I watched this tutorial like a couple of times and some others of yours and I am proud I have made a nice character and am animating it and this has been crucial for my workflow as I am practically using the same techniques you teach in your videos. thank you very much.
yess
1:20 Oh my god is that nobonoko music??? I love the music for animal cafes album sm
:( hang out with the wizard man, he showed you that animation layers exist. He got GAMES!!!
Yes, new video
I used NLA once but it combined and deleted my actions probably because I don't know what you did in this video. I should try it out again.
Really Joey the game at the end 😂
👀
6:22 Oh, i disagree, that worked absolutely perfectly!
I know about it but I don't know how to use it so I don't know if I should hate it or love it but after watching this video I wish I did not know about it.
5:32 Have you ever planned on making tutorials for that face and eyebrow setup? I'm sure it would be helpful for lots of people (especially me lmao)
wait that wizard was playing Noita, man has good tastes
I wish making looping animations was easier with multiple actions
No wonder the wizard was upset, he plays Noita!
Hope one day blender gets rid of the confusing user system. Deleting things on its own if nothing is currently using it, making it a headache to find out what is using something you want to delete. Just make it a save and delete system.
I love blender
Can you remove objects from the NLA and just show the armature? Complex scenes can end up with a massive list you have to scroll through in the NLA.
There is an "only show selected" button
this some playstation 1 nostalgia shit right here
Still a big improvement
wizard guy did not need that disrespect
I feel pitty for the NLA guy now 😢.
But, seriously the complex animation approach like you showed at the end of the video has bothered me for quite some time.
There is a lot tutorials teaching how to animat a walk cycle but almost no one shows how to embed it in a complex scene.
Good job, sir.
I can see some Kevin's computer influence
wonderful vid this guy is underrated , everyone sub
amazing🥀🥀
06:00 what's that falling can noise?
How did you weight painted this charecter mouth? I've downloaded that charecter from gumroad and I've been trying for 2 days, but I still can't get it right.
Make a tutorial on how you made this character.
If you mean the green guy, the mouth is pretty low poly and I just put a bone at each point. You can see the weights if you have the file
I assume this also would work with shape keys?
Here we go
