    To Polish your animation, you must add Reksio, Pomysłowy Dobromir, and Koziołek Matołek to it. Then, no matter how bad your animation will be, it would still be Polished.

    Great video thank you so much Owen. I think a lot of animators starting out think they absolutely have to go to spline eventually, but imo some things just look better in stepped. Depends what kind of style you are going for. For me, stepped is better for fast snappy action and spline better for acting and slower movements.

I.e best to stay in FK, move the base/root, or leave it etc. If not, maybe a tutorial for the future please?

    Hi. I'm a professional 3D artist like yourself and it's disappointing to hear statements like : Some people want to do blender and be a youtuber and make minecraft animations.. Have you stopped to have a look around the industry and seen what professional studios and artists are doing with Blender right now? The guys at Sony are using it for the spiderverse films for example. And the amount of professional animators that have made the jump from Maya to blender is pretty substantial. Blender is used for game animation as well. So perhaps there was a better way to say why Maya would be a good choice. and I'm a Maya artist as well..

    • @owenferny
      @owenferny 3 месяца назад

      That's a fair comment, I would counter by saying that the point of this video is purely my own perspective, I think I make it pretty clear that it's not an exhaustive list, just my own opinions. If I caveat every one of my opinions or add a disclaimer to the end then maybe I would end up not really saying much more than a chatgpt answer. I'm happy to admit that not every opinion or thought in here is 100% correct, I'm just a guy talking out loud. From my perspective, blender work is very rare in the fields of animation that I work within, the RUclips/indie animator was the first example of someone who would find blender a great option, but you're right there are some other options out there too. It would be disingenuous of me to suggest that I think blender is a great option for what I do, as I simply don't have much experience using it, nor do I know many people who use it professionally.

It could be you still need to get over the first hill, where you don't understand basics fully, so it's not necessary fun to animate (speaking from experience). Not discouraging you in any way ! Just got "wondering concern" I guess from your comment.

    I think this is all good feedback! I'm currently post-grad and I relate to a lot of these points, both during school as a generalist, and afterwards of continuing to grow and learn outside of an educational environment. A big help for me has been trying to do daily animations exercises, just letting something be trying out body mechanics or acting, and not continuing it after. Being okay with not making every animation a portfolio piece and using it for learning instead, making the mistakes and understanding what the purpose of the exercise is focusing on, and each day or each animation has gotten a bit easier! Weight shifts, jumping, running, punching, flipping, getting up from a chair, pose change, face change, lipsync, hand gestures, there's so much! And by letting it only exist for the day or two let's you try more poses and actions than I personally was able to experience in School Love the videos!
