why is my curve on graph editor flat?

Once i realized the power of the NLA editor, everything has changed about my animation!!! Thank you!

Thank you Pierrick!

Cyclic Strip Time I finally get it. Basically it cycles the animation when the Animated Strip Time key value is grater than the original action's end key. For example if the original action ends at frame 40, when we set the Animated Strip Time to 80, then enabling Cyclic Strip Time will run the animation twice. Notice when we enable Cyclic Strip Time, Action Clip Playback Scale & Repeat options get disabled on side bar - Strip - Action clip panel here is the video link --> kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZybp8afosTWqps.html

I was only able to use this tool after watching this tutorial. Now i can fully apply its potential on my animation workflow, thank you for making my work a little less tedious and bit more exciting, Pierrick!

you are simply the best blender instructor i have ever seen but by far

God bless your heart for going over this!😭❤💯🔥

Exactly what I needed right now - thanks Pierrick!

This is awesome! I was just about to start using the NLA editor and one of my favorite creators on the KZreads comes along and drops a fresh video about it! I love it! 😃 You're the best Pierrick! Thank you so much for all that you do!

Fantastic explanation of the NLA system, thank you Pierrick.

Thank you. This is the best explanation of the power of the NLA editor I've yet seen.

Thanks Pierrick!

Thank you!!

thank you Pierrick - this and your brilliant course "Alive" helped me finish a very important commision, greetings from Poland,

Thanks

Finally! I knew there had to be a honest way to create "Keyed Slow Motion" animation inside of Blender. Digging around on KZread offer no answers to this one MAJOR animation question. I have been stuck in the cycle of A) Chopping up A strip and assigning different speeds with clever blending back into real time. or B) recording it all at 60 fps or higher then creating the effect within composite programs like After Effects. All the times I seen the animated strip time box, Knew animate means key ability, but never knowing how to make it work. THANK YOU Pierrick. Now I can begin to work this effect in with the 2 dollar addon "NPR Framerate Mixer" for some automated keyed on 2s animations.

You don't know how much this helped me ! Thank you so much!!!

Fantastic, thank you!

THANKS MAN REALLY

Thank you!

it was amazing sir , thanks for illuminating this section to me , your course is the best there is out there

Beautiful!

Woo that is mind blowing I didn’t even knew some of those stuff. And thank this was the most helpful video.

incredably useful

I saw an advert for your Alive! course on Instagram. I'm like 4 vids into the Useful resources induction videos, I'm legit thinking this is hands down the best $80 I think I've ever spent and I'm not even into the actual course yet. Thank you for putting together this mind blowing course! 🙏

Thank you for this ❤️❤️

Thank you soo much, it helped a lottt☺

I love learning animation in Blender and I always watch your tutorials, they have helped me a lot and only make me enjoy learning even more. My native language is Portuguese, I'm not very fluent in English, maybe enough, but I can understand at least a good part of your videos, interpreting what you show and the fact that you explain calmly, it helps me a lot to understand because I still have some difficulties with English.

I don't know if it would be possible, but it would be possible, perhaps in the future, to provide subtitles for other languages (including Portuguese) on the course? So I think it would help a lot

Wow that was very well explained, thanks so much. I know have a far better understanding.

sometimes what i do is first set the action strip type to add , etc then make it a nla strip, like the first action, then after when i add other actions, i can use the add option, or multiply, but add and combine have better results i think. but if i make it a replace and then add the add option, the rig grows and freaks out, same with multiply and combine.

A-f*ng-mazing! Thank you so much!

great!

I havent watched your video to the end(saving it for later). But i really hope you showed us how to combine multiple mixamo animations and use them on a single character. Animating is a hard skill to learn.. Heh i even considered buying a mocap suit to speed up everything. Great video by the way

wow

太强了

8:40 This is where I’ve been running into troubles lately.

Great stuff, Pierrick. One quick question re: the time warp (animated strip time) - there's no way to have this work on a scene level is there? Current work around is to manually copy the adjusted curve to each character/animated object/camera in the scene, which is a pain.

nice

Sir, I bought your rigging course and It was very helpful. btw I wonder Do you have any plan about facial rigging course. there is almost no facial rigging course in blender. I hope your facial rigging lecture :))

awesome tutorial, is there a way i can change the direction (alignment) of an action strip for example with mixamo animation; climbs down and turns around but the second action the guy walks the opposite direction, how can i align the second action with the first action?

Do you have a tutorial explaining the action editor, it is really unclear why some animations within the action editor plays in another. A good guide would help.

This was a very good explanation of how the NLA works. Thanks for that. There is one thing that not a single video I've watched has explained yet and that is how to blend two animations that go in opposite directions. What I mean is that - let's take Mixamo as an example - you have one action where a character decides to turn around and walk away. The action stops after the first step. But the character is now facing the opposite direction compared to the root/control bone. So when I add a walk cycle action it goes in one way and the other goes in another way. Blending these together ends up looking really weird. If you rotate the root to line up the animations and blend the root wobbles all over the place. And I don't think there's a way to rotate the bones of an already animated action and keep everything working. Especially with a mix of IK and FK. This is a long reply and not a question, so the question is: how do you blend animations that are not lined up?

I would create a third one to counter animate the root and get it aligned

@ShadowMakerSdR

@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN I tried that, but for some reason it moved all over the place with the root sliding in and out. Especially since the actions are not in place but off-center, animating the root bone caused a lot of weirdness. But since you're suggesting doing the same (but better) I guess I was on the right track, just lacking the skills.

Great Video, do you no why as soon as I add a new animation to the NLA it rotates it 90 degrees?

4:57 Scaling the strip is not slowing it down, it is repeating the cycle instead

Hello, good time. I really appreciate your good tutorials. I made a few seconds animation that includes several objects, each of which has an action. I want all the actions to be one action and import it into Unity, your tutorials What I was following, you had created some actions for an object that was really useful. Please guide me if possible.

Hi! How did you open the NLA strip in the curve editor? When I try to do it, it only shows me the keyframes of the selected bone, but the curve does not appear...

How can I bake the properties animations(such as switch IK to FK)? I tried to bake it but it was not working in the baked animations

😍😍😍😍

Thank you! Do you just delete your tracks after baking everything in a new action? Or is it ok to just leave them there, in case you will want to change sommething? Have you encountered any performance issues when using many tracks?

@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN

2 жыл бұрын

I generally use pretty few tracks. It’s up to you what you do with them. I don’t have the « good »answer to your questions 🙂

Great video. If you don't mind me asking: suppose we get all the NLA strips and editing in the right place, bake into a single action, then go on to work on other animation later, how could we save the current NLA strips "layout" of the baked animation in case we wants to make adjustments later on? The only way I can think of is to maybe hide all the NLA strips used, maybe create a Track separating them just for organization sake, or have a duplicated rig for every NLA layout.

@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN

Жыл бұрын

A lot is going on refactoring the NLA so we can hope for a proper workflow at some point. But you can mute tracks, you can group them (I believe) so you can create a setup and keep it for later. Not need to use multiple rigs. You could use a separate Blender file for your editing

Mm...the animation course I got is inaccessible in gumroad rn...what sud I do??

Is there a way to join the animations of two characters in one Action for export to Unity? Not really a NLA question maybe, but maybe its something you have another video on?

How do I make my walk cycle cyclic without including my t pose in the cyclic

hello, subscriber here. just wanna ask how to combine 2 nla track. i want to export fbx and put my spring animation to unity. how can i combine it that 2 objects has its own NLA tracker but I only need one. hope you will answer my question, that would appreciated a lot. thank youu

woot

Thanks! Is there an option to offset or even better transform the whole NLA animation in space? So that character's root position would be other what is stored in the animation data, so that clip can be offset in space. I haven't found such option, unless there is some workaround, NLA editor as such is mostly useful for retiming and in-place animations.

I have no idea how to make so that I could make cube first jump, then continue with walk animation where he landed, so that he eventually ends roughly 2m away from origin.
