yep, but you'll need at least 3 keys, because the difference between 2 keys should not be more than 180 degrees. so it can be 179, 179, 2, or 120,120, 120, etc, to create a 360 circle.

@@borovikmotion Cool, thank you so much for the quick reply! I'll try that once I grab it. It looks amazing, well done!

@@belowdown7339 thank you, btw, for the circle walks I'd suggest you to check the transformation tutorial, it allows to create circle, spiral, and other bizarre walks

@ Alright, thanks!!

hi, if the original animation has some sliding - you can try to apply the "fix sliding" algorithm. It works quite well for usual mocap data, there is a tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/jfg9gh5mvs0/видео.html but if the mocap data is bad ( like the crappy ai mocap) it won't help, as the error in movement is simply too large

hi! you mean like gifs in the tooltips? could you specify what version of the script do you use and what maya version? so far with the tooltips everything should be good

@ I’m using the newest version. When I select Help > Starter Guide. No video shows up. All the tooltip videos are showing up. 👍🏾

@@kboogie2323 oh I see, the starter guide is only text description, there is no video there., it's like a basic "to do list". Idk, maybe I should do something like a short video guide and put a link there

@ I thought a video used to come up in the previous version. 😊

hi, thank you very much for buying the script, do you change the speed threshold value? It should be above the average sliding speed. In may case it's 2%, it works great for typical mocap, but in some cases it should be higher

@@borovikmotion That was it! Thanks so much, such a great script

Hi, the discount was only for Christmas, right now unfortunately it's not active any more. Not sure about paypal, you can use whatever payment Gumroad accepts

@borovikmotion I have a desktop computer and a laptop. Can I buy a freelancer and use this plug-in on both devices

@@尚毅博 as long as both devises belong to you - yes. But if you live in China, please test the connection to gumroad, to see if you're able to activate the script. The required script to do this can be found in the description. If your government blocks the connection - you need to use vpn. And if by any reason maya is blocked through firewall - you need to unblock it

@@borovikmotion I already buy，thank you

@@borovikmotion 中国买不了吗，购买提示“我们无法验证你选择的位置，请回顾一下”

thank you, I'll sure explain it in the space switching tutorial. It's a very simple math

it is a typical standard rig, and like any other rig it has separate IK controls and dedicated main control to relocate the whole character. In game-dev we as animators switch very often from static main control to animated main control back and forth, depending on the task we're doing. Here it is more convenient to have main control animated, it's easier to manipulate the character in this way

it can work with any animation, even if you make the gangnam style run

акцент кринж это правда, но пока что надо записать на инглише. потом посмотрим, если время будет, можно записать на русском

@@borovikmotion Да нет же! Акцент жемчужина! Я сразу вспоминаю игру Red Alert... Комрад дженерал и другие озвучки русских юнитов))))

thank you, it's just some screen overlay for OBS, I don't remember which one exactly, but it should be easy to google

thank you, I sure would love to, but I need rigs and animations to provide such examples. I can't share materials from the studio, so right now it's mostly mixamo or what animators send me

I'm afraid no, unfortunately, it's hard enough to maintain the tool for maya as it is, and I don't possess blender / blender api knowledge at the moment

thank you, YES it supposed to be position, I didn't notice it. But since the position and rotation in that case had similar speed, it worked as well at some degree. But you right, position is what we should use in 95% of cases

hi, idk, I feel it will be a little bit unfair to whom already bought the script at the 90% price. the sale was going almost a week which is kind of a lot. maybe I'll make it 25% but only for the first of January or so, because it's also connected to the taxes. I have to report each sale to the tax office, including fees, discounts, vat, and all this crazy kind of stuff. And since 01.01.2025 gumroad becomes a merchant of record and it should be much easier to prepare reports

@@borovikmotion So, I will wait for 1st January. Awaiting the New year discount, thank you for responding :-)

Hey, please share the code for 25% off, so that I could buy

Hi! it was a limited Christmas sale, lasted for 6 days during holidays

I prolonged Christmas sale for the next two weeks, but reduced the discount to 9%

привет, это так и задумано, если добавить сильный наклон - будет небольшое проскальзывание. но это совсем не проблема т.к. в скрипте есть специальный алгоритм который убивает проскальзывание в 1 клик. я не стал убирать проскальзывание автоматически, т.к. если снапить ноги - характер анимации изменяется, и может потребоваться коррекция таза. поэтому оставляю на усмотрение пользователя сколько конкретно доавлять наклона, и как фиксить проскальзывание

без наклона, обычная походка по кривой - работает само собой без всяких проскальзываний

@@borovikmotion Наклон устанавливается автоматически? Почему наклон вызывает проскальзывание?

@@PsomfomFanih наклон включается по желанию, можно регулировать его интенсивность, можно регулировать точку относительно которой происходит наклон, можно регулировать интервал бленда наклона. В зависимости от ситуации проскальзывание может быть около нулевое, а можно выкрутить наклон на полную, подобрать для него пивот в районе головы и просказывание будет дичайшее. В основном почти незаметно, если грамотно применять. Наклоны это сложная тема, потом запишу тутор

​@@borovikmotion Я делал в своем скрипте наклон, когда направлял персонажа по кривой, но у меня наклон не влиял на проскальзывание. Ни большой, ни маленький. Видимо у нас разные подходы.

thank you, yes, definitely tutorial is required, I'll try to do it asap. recently I was overwhelmed with work and as now it's holidays I can finally chill a little bit

@borovikmotion of course... Same here , time to chill and family... I will give it a try next month, Great job man! Thanks for sharing

Hi, it is just a regular layer, but applied in a smart way

thanks, I'm not doing 2d animation since like 2020 😅, so I guess a lot of things have changed there

@@borovikmotion i see u have moved into 3D and using maya! :D the thing is ! i'm coming from Maya! :D

hi, the transform algorithm works for turns in any direction x, y, or z, in --180+180 degrees range. Spline algo works also in any direction, but stable results are obtained from -135 to + 135 degrees range ( for more degrees user has to add more keys ). But rotation of the character happens always aligned to the normal vector of the surface. It works really great for characters like spiders or monkeys, whenever character has to be parallel to the surface. For bipeds it looks weird when the character is not vertical, keeping character vertically will be added in the next update

@@borovikmotion Thank you for the prompt reply!

thank you! the plugin helps to speed up the creation of an 8 directon cycle. But you still need to know how to do it, it's not a "one magic button" solution

Hi! thank you very much for buying the script! root motion is tricky. At first it seems simple, like, you do point constrait and locator, but if you take a closer look, there are a lot of nuances like: - do you need a position only or also rotation - if position, is it only horizontal movement or also vertical - if position, should it support back & forward movement, or only forward (some setups in engine require clamping reverse movement) - what control should be a source of root motion ( when doing walks it can be pelvis, when doing hit reactions - it should be chest or head, to avoid collisions with the environment when character falls on the ground) - if it has rotation then it should be extracted in a smart way - if root motion contains rotation then it must start from 0.15-0.25 after beginning of animation, and end 0.15-0.25 sec before ending animation, to avoid issues with blending in state machine ( if it starts immediately then blend cuts a little bit of rotation which results in incorrect navigation) - if we have rotation then it most likely should be a specific angle with specific timings so, after working in the industry for many years and doing hundreds and hundreds of animations, I've noticed, even with all scripts and stuff I'm still doing root motion manually, simply because it depends too much on a particular task in Smart Layer I focused more on what could be done with animation layers, to solve most common tasks in the most efficient and simple way, assuming the user knows how to animate and how to deal with things like root motion seeing some users asking for root motion extractor, maybe it can be added as a separate module, or maybe even as a separate script, because technically, a lot of applications of Smart Layer doesn't need root motion, It's just more convenient to have it

hey, there is a root motion extractor in the new version. works like this: you select two objects, a source of root motion, and a target to apply root motion. then press the button and it's done !

Hi! if you're an animator - you don't have to learn C++. It is required only for technical animators, and not for all of them, only if you really want to dig into a tecnical side. For creating animation prototypes - basics of blueprints will be more than enough. You can start with building simple projects, like third person loco, then increasing the complexity over time, replicating AAA locomotion and combat behaviour. If you can afford a course - it would be very helpful, like iAnimate game animation course or similar courses. they won't teach you the engine, but it is very helpful to be able to ask questions to an experienced mentor
