How Pixar Animates EVERYTHING
I am in love with animation, and funnily enough, the majority of animation is created inside of the Graph editor!
In this Blender Tutorial, we will be covering the basics of the graph editor, how to use it, and a few tricks you probably didn't know.

I wish all tutorials were straight forward like this. This is good for my focusing issues I have (ADHD moment lol) and it’s digestible and easy. Also, the editing keeps me hooked. And humor! I love it, you earned my respect + subscribe!!
I have used graphs in Blender many of times, but never figured out how to get "handles" until now. You made my project look more natural looking. THANKS! The only time I got handles in Blender was in Masking or actually working with bezier curves in the layout window, not in the graph editor.
the music selection is a rollercoaster of nostalgia
Very useful stuff right here, as an animator with 2 years of experience, I honestly love how I can immediately look at the graph/curve editor and say *"holy sh!t, I understand what i am looking at even if I've never seen this before"* , blender is honestly pretty complicated to get use to, I mostly have been using roblox to animate but I have been slowly using and adapting to blender, plus I have alot more to learn, this video was (again) very useful for any beginner, especially me myself, I mostly just stick to the sine or quad easing styles since they are very good for making your animations smooth, but I do think a lot that key mapping has something to do with making a good animation too, overall I am trying this once I get my laptop back since it broke and haven't animated for like a month now :'/
The voice, the edit, the mood, this video is fire ! Keep up the good work !
I couldn’t agree more. I have always loved animation. I would love to be an animator someday, but after 33 years I’ve still felt my skills just aren’t up to par. Maybe by the time I’m 50 I’ll have made one 2 minute animation I love. Thanks for the tips! 💗

Thanks for the hot keys refresher. Started using Blender @ 2.28. Just now getting back into it.
I remember the first time I saw the graph editor I thought I peeked into the apocalypse...I immediately closed it and trembled in fear. Now I cant wait to jump into it and finesse the micro movements of everything on the screen Any chance you could dive into a breakdown of how to animate or translate the blender timeline to beats per minutes...like animating a character dancing to a song... i cant wrap my head around how to translate the main beat/tempo of a song onto the frames per minute...

Remember you can type Python expressions into fields. So for example if “bpm” is beats per minute and “t” is duration in seconds, then you can calculate each from the other as bpm = 60 / t t = 60 / bpm

Graph editors and the manipulation of your animations is an Fundamental (with a cap F 😂) thing, to first train and then develop your skills as a future animator. No need of being afraid of pulling a few tangents here n there to create Your unique approach to your animations. It actually got me a long way as an current animator. Thnx for your vids man!
this is such a good reference since there are so many options for different curves, i have a tough time grasping what shape makes what result.
bro the editing is insane! you've got yourself a new sub!
This was great, I've always fumbled my way through the graph editor, so now I actually have an idea of what I'm doing.

Interpolation is something i wish hangy drawn animation had as a tool. But it's a great way to visualize things that a timing chart sometimes makes vauge

I got a clear vision now tnx bro
this is a great introduction to the graph editor, I think all novice and beginners animators should learn how to read this. However I would caution against being too reliant on being stuck in the graph editor. I struggled many years with my animation because I was too concentrated on the graph editor and keeping my curves nice and clean, guess what? This doesn't translation into animation animation sometimes. The cons to spending time in graph editor during a big production: - too much time is handled on cleaning curves, you neglect what your viewport might be doing - What happens when there's two or more character interactions with rotations. Sometimes clean curves could mean your characters interaction won't be solid and often times feel like it's slipping or sliding - Not great for mocap - Good luck cleaning a hundred curves on complex rigs with 1000+ frames of animation within one week plus feedback from the animation supervisor

Hello, character animator here! This is a great video about the graph editor, but tbh it has very little to do with making great animation. The graph editor is useful but it's just one of many tools you need to know. Many people like it but many animators, myself included, barely use it. Imo tween machine and animbot are more useful and give you great control of timing and spacing while keeping your attention on the poses. If you want to know what makes Pixar animation so great learn about acting, cinematography, body mechanics and animation principles, and probably loads more stuff i don't know about since it's Pixar and they're the best XD i don't mean to be negative, this is an excellent video but i feel it needs this disclaimer because it makes the graph editor seem much more important than it is
So great vidéo !

i've been wanting to get into 3d animation for years, but never did because the graph editor is like _runes_ to me, i thought it was all completely random math bullshit, you going "oh no its literally just the 3d thing in 2d, its timing editing" made me both feel like an idiot and like i finally had the courage to get into it :)

Lmao, literally, I don't know why this isn't taught more clearly in other graph editor videos, it's simply 3d shown in 2D. I'm glad I've been able to demystify it for you!
@aliensoup2420

@@Smeaf To be accurate, it is not 3d shown in 2d - that would imply some information is lost. It would be more beneficial to teach it for what it really is - a function editor visualized on a 2d axis. Motion as a function of time. Every channel moves in a single dimension + or - . Time provides the second dimension. Every would be animator should do themselves an enormous favor, and study some elementary algebra and analytical geometry (function graphs). We all learned it in high school, but either did not pay attention, or forgot it. There are plenty of math tutorials on KZread to fill the gap.
pretty cool
