In three years, I went from having absolutely no experience in 3D Animation to working at DreamWorks Animation Studios teaching just about all of the 3D software used to make movies! After 2 years there, I left to try freelance / independent content creation on TH-cam for awhile, before I head back to Feature Film!
This is my journey- the entire process from when I decided I wanted to be an animator until I eventually get there, and everything along the way that will make it possible.
Whether you're chasing a similar dream, or just interested to see where mine takes me, subscribe to follow along with the incredible journey that it takes to become an animator!
You will not be disappointed.
Keep up with the action and connect with me on social!

If you could request ONE Maya tutorial, what would it be?? :)
Sir Wade Neistadt it would be character modelling or some vfx stuff 😊
Sir Wade Neistadt Another great video!
3D modelling 😊
Skin weights would be helpful.
hi! explain all type of constraint
If you want an object to have the same pivot point as another object the quickest way is where you click on an object (while in object mode) and then while holding shift select the object that has the pivot point that you want, then go to Modify > Match Transformations > Match Pivots and then the first selected object(s) will have the same pivot point as the last object you shift selected Remember that if you select multiple objects the pivot point of the last selected object is what all the other selected objects will have their pivot points set to. That is the fastest way to make multiple objects have the same pivot point! Just a tip for anyone who was wondering! :)
You can also middle-mouse drag items in the outliner to parent them. I think this is the easiest and most intuitive as you see a visual representation in the outliner.
This was one of the most detailed animation tutorial videos I watched and I watched a lot and I really enjoy how u talk through you're process
Thank you so much Sir Wade!
Please continue to do more animation tutorials :)
Thank you. I'm in school and unfortunately my teacher is impossible to understand. Because of your explications.. I get it
You are the reason I'll pass this class.
I mainly use blender but the way you explain this us flawless!!! I love it thank you so much
for any fellow super noobs like me, wade did the smoothing by pressing the '2' or '3' key, if that doesn't work make sure your mesh is initially smoothed via Mesh --> Smooth
I just found your channel, and I wanted to thank you for all of the resources you put out. I use Blender myself and I know ir fairly well, but I realize that despite difference in software the concepts of 3D animation are fundamentally the same. So, no, I don't really know of any specific Maya tutorial, but if it helps me be a better animator in genearl, I'm cool with that.
Very Helpful, Great Thanks. Nice explanation from the base.
it's a measure of how cool this video is that even a blender user like me can still learn a bunch from it
many thanks for sharing your knowledge
Just what i needed, thank you so much
Omigod this is EXACTLY what I need for a personal project I want to do, thank you!!!
So glad I could help! I'd love to see the project when you finish! :D
Yay! You’re doing tutorials!
I'm starting to! :)
Learnt something new, thank you Sir !
Good stuff man!
Sir wade
Another awesome video 🤯
But will u be uploading details of your new schedule on TH-cam orrr?
I'd love to see a review of that surface book 2 from you
Hey Sir Wade. Nice tutorial! Was curious to know if all character rigs, biped and quadraped built this way and avoiding constraints is practical and would there be performance advantage to it?
Thanks sir
If you hold v when moving pivot points it will snap to verts
Rhinoceros user for many years - Maya seems to do some very weird geometry things I need to get used to. Instead of duplicating an object, I used the Mirror command - but seemed to get an object that was linked to the original object in the transforms, instead of a separate object. Redid the whole thing using duplicate.
Thank you, it is very usfull. Is it possible to explain how to write with pen like "paul potter" i could write paul but dont know how to write with same pen in continuation potter or else.
Is it also possible to do with node editor.
I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
Woo! :)
How do I export an animated object held by a character with locators and parent constraint for games?
I want an object that has rigs to follow a character's hand. Can I use it? Should I first click on the characters curve and then click on the object curve and hit p?
Hi. I hope you'll answer this one quick question. I've created one robot and it looks AHHHHMAZING I must say. I have all of the parent constraints done and they also work as they should. Time now to create another robot. But when I select all then duplicate and move it, the various components move separately. I'm sure there's an easy fix for this. I tried selecting all and creating a group which then worked when I duplicated and moved it, but then I lost all of my parent constraints.
How are you making objects be centered? Like the "pvc" parts around the poles? How do you make sure they're not off center? Great video :)
To make sure the pivot point is centered, there's a center pivot function (if necessary) otherwise for positioning just make sure the transform values matched whatever you're aligning them to, before freezing any transforms :)
sir, whrere is the "Grease pencil" is located on? time 3:1
three questions
1. How do you texture things?
2. How to you lock a ball or a box to the arm? I mean when your arm goes down and grab the box the box will follow the arm
3. There i move my models it's really close, so when i need to move it to the right or left side i sometime grab the up and down
1- That video is coming in the next few weeks
2- That video is being recorded today! It's going to be a great tutorial!
3- Try using the + and - keys to change the size and sensitivity of the manipulators, see if that helps :)
Also I make all the project files available on Patreon if you want to use my files :D
Thanks so much :D
I want to learn maya instead of blender but I can’t find good tutorial online that would teach me the all software (I bought a 50h course for blender and i’m learning basicely everything (not everything but i’m getting at a good level!
The robotic arms I think fall into the mechanical rigging category, should I use only parenting for the joints, or is it better to use bind skin?
David Ferrera if you should rig it properly i would say use joints and bind them, because then you can use ikHandle and more advanced rigging stuff
You are very inspiring! I love your videos, but a little while ago you said you didn't recommended using Blender, since it's free. Can you please explain why you think about it that way? I just want to say that free software isn't necessarily bad.
Anyway, great videos! :)
I think something got miscommunicated, I have nothing against Blender, especially since it's free- free software is the best! I just have no experience using Blender, and my recommendation goes to Maya since it's also available for free and is actually used in productions and in many or most studios :)
Sir Wade Neistadt thanks! That cleared up some questions for me! I'm sorry for misunderstanding you! I think you are doing an amazing job on making videos! Even tough I'm using Blender, I still learn a lot of your videos! Keep it up! :)
@@daanklein880 I'm an avid Blender user, and I would recommend using it. There's a lot it does better than Maya (and visa versa, of course - but you should always use the best tool for the job!) Blender's especially good for modelling, because of its modifier-based workflow. Plus, it's lightweight and fast.
Another thing is - Maya is a big player right now, but that can change overnight, like when Autodesk shut down softimage. Don't wed yourself to one tool; learn as much as possible.
What site is this
Hello Sir Wade, I commented on your videos a while back on some help with animating. My dream is still to go to collage for animation and work for Pixar, but I don't really know where to start. I'm 15 and I do simple animations but, I want to step it up to character animation. When I try to learn the simple things like walk cycles etc, I either can't get it right, or the TH-cam video doesn't explain right. I feel really stuck on what to do or how to start, or the best way to start. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you! Also I loved the video! I watch them all XD
:( Okay never mind i'm sorry to bother you.
sir what kind of modeling application you used in the video?
Maya :)
Can you do tutorial that goes in depth on lighting a scene?
I can! You saw the lighting overview video I posted, right?
Sir Wade Neistadt I saw the first few minutes of it, and then something came up and I had to go, but Ill be sure to watch the whole video soon!
I don’t have Maya yet I still watched this video
Rigging using Python. How do I complete an entire biped or quadruped using ONLY MAYA Python. thanks Covid 19 allowed me to get back into animation because of all the time I have on my hands. Great channel. May 9th 2020
How do you make it smooth?
You select the Geometry and hit 3 :) Press 1 to return to hard surface
Ooh thanks man :D
I dream is to be a animator like you :D
Work for dream wroks :)
His name should be Clampy
what are your computer's specs ?
I made a video about it :) th-cam.com/video/7gljW4hUPRw/w-d-xo.html
no English subtitles
Greetings Sir Wade Neistadt,
I am looking to become an animation at employee at DreamWorks and it is a dream of mine to work there. Sorry for the pun. Anyways , as I was saying could you perhaps guide me to join a proper course after 12th Grade as I am a student from India. I really want to work at DreamWorks and I will really appreciate your guidance.
Regards
Keen Student from India
I would recommend Animation Mentor! That's where I learned :) If that's too far out of your budget, I'm putting together some smaller classes through Patreon for smaller monthly amounts if that's helpful at all! www.patreon.com/SirWade
Greetings Sir Wade Neistadt ,
O ye great man, what a wonderful idea to join Animation Mentor....but is it an offline course??. Since I cannot travel seas for education since my money purse is as empty as my brain. I shall inquire and am grateful for your help
React to the How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World , PLEASE
I can't! I know too much! It'd be too hard not to give spoilers, so it would be a boring reaction because I know more or less what happens 😅
You escaped this time. :)
