Mastering the Blender Run Cycle: Tips and Tricks for Animators!
In this comprehensive tutorial on mastering the Blender run cycle, I'll go over all the tips and tricks you need to know as a animator. Whether you're new to Blender or an experienced user, this tutorial will teach you how to create a realistic/cartoony smooth run cycle that will bring life to your characters.
I'll start with a breakdown of the importance of determination in a walk. Looking at posing and timing. Then, we'll look to apply those principles in Blender, using keyframe animation and the graph editor to create a fluid and convincing run cycle.
Throughout the tutorial, I'll share some valuable tips and tricks for optimizing your workflow, including refining your pose, cleaning knee pops and the importance of keeping things simple.
Whether you're creating an animated short film or a video game, mastering the Blender run cycle, like the walk cycle, is a crucial skill for any animator. So if you're ready to take your animation skills to the next level, join me for this in-depth tutorial on the Blender run cycle.

The difference between walking and running is that when you walk, one of your feet is always touching the ground while when you run, your body is entirely in the air in between two contacts

Hardest part is making something your happy with. Technically the hardest part for me for years was my lip sync. I have gotten better at that now but still something that I spend more time on then I should.
Alex, I discovered your channel the same day you posted your walk cycle tutorial. As soon as I finished watching the same video I could do nothing but subscribe. I have been animating in Source engine for years now and lately I started to learn animating in Blender as well in order to be accepted by industry. Even though I am capable to animate walk/run cycles without any issues you made me realize I know almost nothing with those crucial tips and tricks you explained in both videos. Much respect for that and thank you for taking your time to explain everything from the zero! Both tutorials are so easy to understand and follow along. Is there any chance that we can have a tutorial for rendering our animations? Including lighting and camera tricks in order to make our cycles presentable for portfolios? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the note! Very cool that your making films! The tool is always less important then the art. As all of us improve our skills we take our with us from software to software. What the tool does is shape our results. And hopefully with any good tool allow us to focus more on executing our vision. Blender, I think does that very well. Don't know much about Source engine, but it's sweet you can use a game engine for film making. I'll be diving into Unreal in a bit. Yes I can share some of the things I do to present my work. That video hopefully will come some time in May.

That is the main reason I am switching to Blender and so far I can easily understand what I am doing thanks to the graph editor. Your videos are helping me to get one step closer to my dream!

But like I said the tool is less important. Make a sweet looking 35 second animation reel. That's what matters. I would say as you get close to finishing your reel and applying to places download the free Maya student version so you can at least do some rough tests for yourself so you have a very basic ides of the buttons. When you do become a pro you'll just learn more on the job! People will help you. Someone should show you the pipeline and tools and you can just keep bugging them with questions. Ask if they can show you how to set up a scene from scratch. That's the best way to learn. Good luck!

I got a very interesting question, when looking at the animgraph, why have the space in between your two halves of animation at frame 13 rather than ending your animation at 23 and following through at 24 with the beginning pose? What does that gap do if anything?
@alexonstory
8 ай бұрын
Hey! I am not sure I fully understand your question. As it's a cycle there shouldn't be a gap. For a typical run it's 12 frames long. The 13th frame is a duplicate of frame 1. For a walk it's the same idea just longer. With each half being 12 frames long. Frame 13 being the start of the second half. Frame 24 like you said would be the repeating frame.

Thanks for sharing! I am making some animations for a game project. If I want to have the animations at 60 fps then I should do the animation 30 frames long? I ask because if I am not worng you made it at 24 frames per second and the animation is 12 frames long, so half second, right? Sorry this is still a bit confusing to me. I should make every animation at the same fps for a game?
@alexonstory
7 ай бұрын
Great question! Yes I would work in 60fps when creating your cycle. You got the right idea. For a generic walk 24fps would be 60fps. With the first foot contact being frame 1. Second foot contact would be 31. Then the first foot contact would be 61, which is the same pose as frame 1. For a generic run 12fps would be 30fps. First foot contact would be frame 1. Second foot contact would be frame 16. First foot contacting again would be frame 31, which is the same pose as frame 1. With a run the contacts can be more forgiving in terms of timing and when you'r contacting the ground based off style. Hope that helps and good luck with your game!

Feels like maybe an IK/Fk issue. Check the rig to make sure you are using IK feet. Try another rig to see if your having this issue. Hope that helps!
