I cannot tell you, how long I have been looking for a tutorial like this. I have been working on a character of mine for MONTHS now and I finally get to see her walk, I'm almost actually crying because I have put so much effort into it and I get to see my character walk. Thank you so much for this tutorial, 40/10
You said it was rough and not looking great at the end. I would love to see you finish it until it was finished and you were satisfied. Please create the last part! :)
i am stumped. i have looked up like 3 different tutorials now and they all pretty much say the same. have a start pose, copy it and paste it at the end and lastly paste it reversed in the middle. ez game. But for some reason my character just slightly contorts up and down the leg doesn't switch at all it's still the same leg forward even though i press A and copy reverse paste it... what am i doing wrong?
Are you making sure that everything has fresh key frames before copying and making sure the mouse is in the viewport while copy pasting the pose? Not sure if it’s the same thing Ive run across doing this.
Might be too late but it's probably because your bone are not named properly, they have to have a suffix (L or R) so blender know what should be symmetrized on the other side.
This is exactly the kind of tutorial I was hoping to find, absolutely straight forward, gives the right amount of info with little tips and tricks sprinkled throughout it to make the overall experience much easier. Absolutely love it!
@@ordinarynerdofficial check if you named your bones corretly with the L for Left or R for Right prefix. It is needed for the mirror paste to work. I.e. hand.L and hand.R.
Can someone help me my pose does not change as I flip it after copying it, it flips but then it does not flip back over if i go back to the frames. basically after I flip it, it does not change back over and takes a fixed position.
@@Noobplays6969 i actually got it haha When making the first keyframe press “i” (if ur using blender keys) and save it as location rotation and scale. i did that and it started working
@@matiasferreira4640 ohh yeah I forgot to tell you that but I did get the solution location, rotation and scale is not mandatory there has to be a keyframe there
Thank you! This really helps someone like me who doesn’t have prior animation experience. Blender can be a little weird with keyframes, like you have to make sure you have deselected everything before inserting again, as you can accidentally overwrite previous frames, other than that, this tutorial is by far the fastest and easiest way to start getting into animation.
Hmmm... very nice, but that's actually a 25 frames cycle, not 24, right? Of course, makes sense to be able to put the pass pose in the middle. I believe it would be better to then start at frame 1, not 0. Not a big deal, but this might confuse beginners a bit.
Thank you for this tutorial! Really helped a lot. But please get your webcam out of the way of what youre doing. can be confusing when you explain something but we cant see what you are doing.
Why do people feel the need to put there face on tutorials? More importantly why is it over the keyframes? You know, one of the important part of blender animation?
that was good, but there is a small problem in idk my armature, It is that the leg bones are easily paste flip but when i flip the arm bones it automatically switches to the idle T pose.
Yeah, this was one of my first videos, trying to make sure not to have it in the way of anything important in the future. Or just removing it altogether.
@MarkMastersAnim haha. The rest was good. There were some parts where I wasn't sure if you changed what frame you're working on. Sorry about calling your head redundant. Haha. I think intro, outro, and explaining things that don't need visuals are enough.
thanks for this. Luckily for me the non refined version of my walk cycle worked better for my monster. The way it would subtly jitter made it look creepier.
everytime I press "i" to create a keyframe, it just gives me a whole list of stuff (Available, location, rotation, scale, location and rotation, visual location, visual rotation, etc.) what am I even supposed to select?
hello i was wondering how you have it so that once you set down a key frame it just auto accepts whatever you put in with me i always have to do it at the end and go through a menu of what part of the animation i want to keep Rotation, scale, etc. Thanks so much if you respond or if any other commenter can answer my question.
yes. i got the walk cycle down. but PLEASE make a tutorial on walking in a path now. i have had trouble for this for years and i still have my character look like their sliding on ice
I love your art, beautiful character and outfit. My walk cycle is nice in blender but when I render its very stiff. How do you interpolate keyframes or whatnot, and how to change frame rate? No idea. Can you please do a "render animation" video? I hope someone sees this.
very helpful. my only one note would be, it would've been nice to help the user set up the initial pose you already had. Luckily this is not my first tutorial so i know about some of the subtleties like dropping the hip etc but a newbie wouldn't know that. Besides that it was a very helpful video.
i don't know if you will reply to this message but, i really wanted to know. what is that circle down her foot with the pointy arrow around, how to i get that things
Sir I put animation of a girl walking then she brought to city with the help of an addon and when I play that lady on the road of the city then she goes back to where she was and starts walking
My face every time I correctly follow a step and it works: :O Edit: Is it possible for me to take the animation I made and then import to into another project?
I'm not sure why, but the pose is not pasting when I try to paste the pose on frame 12. Do I need a premade pose already? Do I need to select the other leg? I'm pressing A in pose mode like the video shows, too, but nothin'.
Very Nice Mark!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I am also a maya user character animator. Could you please make a video about setup reference footage in blender, about best layout for animation, about graph editor of blender, about creating playblast etc. I mean all of the pipeline of maya. I hope, this is not a big trouble for you to make.
I've actually watched several videos for tutorials for a simple walking animation with rigs. I don't know but I finished them all but I wasn't still able to do it. But this one, for some reason, I was able to do it almost right away. I was able to figure it out instantly.
Thanks for your vid! is there a way to make it use the same animation but walk the opposite direction? not reverse the animation but walk forward the opposite direction?
U gotta get ur webcam out the way dawg
Yeah dude
This was so helpful thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!))

if could remove you face of front of the video

It is almost like being a parent to a degree.
imagine doing a whole video about animation on a software where timeline is so fucking important, then putting your camera on it
thank god you put your webcam right on top of the timeline!
You said it was rough and not looking great at the end. I would love to see you finish it until it was finished and you were satisfied. Please create the last part! :)
FIIINALLY BRO
I've been looking for a walk cycle tutorial that i can actually understand, thank you!

Same I’m stuck on that one!
May be you should try adding keyframes
Are you making sure that everything has fresh key frames before copying and making sure the mouse is in the viewport while copy pasting the pose?
Not sure if it’s the same thing Ive run across doing this.
@Intramotive Jones good tip I used to get try copy and past in the dope sheet. But to reverse pose you gotta be in viewport.
Might be too late but it's probably because your bone are not named properly, they have to have a suffix (L or R) so blender know what should be symmetrized on the other side.

It's worthy to note, at 7:00 you can also copy paste poses directly in the timeline.
when i paste my pose flipped it doesnt flip it stays the same and just pastes normally how do i fix this?
@@darkstar3116 i think i was only doing shift + v

need some help my character is flipping on an opposite direction
This was super helpful! Never thought it would be so simple! Thanks for sharing!
the video was very Good just a suggestion kindly make your backgroud transperant so we can clearly see what you have done on the first frames .
Can someone help me my pose does not change as I flip it after copying it, it flips but then it does not flip back over if i go back to the frames. basically after I flip it, it does not change back over and takes a fixed position.
same exact thing is happening to me rn, did you find a way to make it work?

Ohhh he worked on Dauntless, was not expecting that intro at all BAHAHAHAHA, that game took over my life
2:36 Wait, Maya, the industry standard software for animation, doesn't have animation flipping built in?
Thank you for this tutorial! Really helped a lot. But please get your webcam out of the way of what youre doing. can be confusing when you explain something but we cant see what you are doing.
I copied and pasted the starting pose but it just overwrites it without having both
Why do people feel the need to put there face on tutorials? More importantly why is it over the keyframes? You know, one of the important part of blender animation?
that was good, but there is a small problem in idk my armature, It is that the leg bones are easily paste flip but when i flip the arm bones it automatically switches to the idle T pose.
Paste pose flipped changes my original pose to the flipped one for some reason. I am unsure as to why.
watch out for quakes in your area - the facepalm i did when seeing the mirror flip option...
when i click paste pose flipped, my character just bends furtrher, it doesnt flip the pose...
Awesome, Thanks a lot, though next tutorial I dont need to see your face, I want to see the interface
Man TH-cam ads are so annoying a ada ever theee minutes
can you suggest me some website where i can download free rigs because i am animating in Maya and just started learning blender
thanks for the tutorial , now ima going to practice making it sexier
I love how the redundant head is covering half of what you're doing.

@@BombsAwayMusic Hahah no problem, I get that same complaint a lot in most of my older videos.
3:08 Congratulations, you made a Scott Cawthon style animation
you deserve so many more subscribers than you have
Are you leaving it in bezier interpolation?
Extremely helpful tutorial!
It looks so easy how you do it. Will take me another 4 hours to figure out one step.
man your face is blocking the timeline lol
thanks for this. Luckily for me the non refined version of my walk cycle worked better for my monster. The way it would subtly jitter made it look creepier.
Crushed this tutorial!
everytime I press "i" to create a keyframe, it just gives me a whole list of stuff (Available, location, rotation, scale, location and rotation, visual location, visual rotation, etc.) what am I even supposed to select?
Im sorry but the whole "Paste flipped" shit just NEVER works for the models i work with.
your bones have to be properly named. there an auto naming thing in pose - names - auto name left/right
This was a great tutorial! I love how calm and slowly you walk us through the process of making a walk cycle
hello i was wondering how you have it so that once you set down a key frame it just auto accepts whatever you put in with me i always have to do it at the end and go through a menu of what part of the animation i want to keep Rotation, scale, etc. Thanks so much if you respond or if any other commenter can answer my question.
Hey! My latest video should walk through this process to simplify setting keyframes. th-cam.com/video/60SsA2wBJh0/w-d-xo.html
wow this changes everything for me
shame i cant get this to work
Insightful 💡🔥🤩
yes. i got the walk cycle down. but PLEASE make a tutorial on walking in a path now. i have had trouble for this for years and i still have my character look like their sliding on ice
Hi I need help asap, can I animate this one the same spot, and then use the animation on a path
How to create that character?
Don't forget to make the naming convention of the bones L.Leg and R.Leg respectively. I almost forgot this. :P
WUNDABAR! Great tutorial! But what about walking backwards and strafing?
I love your art, beautiful character and outfit. My walk cycle is nice in blender but when I render its very stiff. How do you interpolate keyframes or whatnot, and how to change frame rate? No idea. Can you please do a "render animation" video? I hope someone sees this.
Holy shit! I always dread walk cycle animation but now I'll give it another go thank you so much!!!
Dang you could've stopped at Paste Pose Flipped and I would have been impressed. This is great.

Hi would you recommend 24 or 60 FPS for Character Animations for Games? and why.
thank for thiss
Brother i have a suggestion. please keep your video on the righthand side on the outliner so that we can have clear view of the timeline. Thank you.
please help me when i paste flipped the whole character flips and changes direction if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know
Hello and thanks for this video and wow have been 1 hour trying to figure out how to import a picture ! :)
brother how you get you firsst starting anime model can you proud me
loved it
thank you so much for this video! really helped me to understand walk cycles better!
Super helpful video! Maybe move the facecam up a little, it's hiding the timeline :)
thank you so much this is an easy 10/10 tutorial and the best one I have seen
Thanks for this, I made an great walk cycle after just a tiny bit of tweaking.
Thankyou sir please make more videos for beginners in full details about short animation
how do you make it so when you move your character through a scene/stage it doesn't look like its sliding
I've got a video releasing tomorrow about that.
Thanks for the tip
Do you have any video about rigging? Like in this video.
thx
tysm😇
Mirroring the pose breaks the pose
your bones have to be properly named. there an auto naming thing in pose - names - auto name left/right
FYI, you can just control C, control shift V to mirror the pose
Helpful video, Thanks!
3:00 is the main part . It is when you get the idea
how do you actually move the character forward ?
Is this method can be used if I want to actually move the character forward when walking ? instead walking in place
Yeah, I have a video on how to do just that th-cam.com/video/lOVPPrQBu3c/w-d-xo.html

Thank you this is my first Walk Cycle.. i quit multiple tutorial and courses bc i couldn´t figure it out! Really motivates me now haha
Very well explained! Simple and precise.
Thanks for your vid! is there a way to make it use the same animation but walk the opposite direction? not reverse the animation but walk forward the opposite direction?
Rotate the root bone 180⁰
Could you make a tutorial on setting up that rig?
fantastic :) learned to trust the blender interp and helped make some basic stuff!!!
thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
bro, p,ease how can i get this model to work with in blender. i am love the model crazy. love the video. very helpful.
Lisa rig from i-animate
thanks man
I would love to see how you set up a rig.
you are amazing
bro thank you omg 100/10
I love those Halo kotobukiyas
Nice tutorial! I just wish there was a way to copy & flip multiple poses simultaneously instead of having to do them one by one.
