@@LukiGames0 it's not difficult to retrain a team of 5-10 people on new and familiar software over a what, 2-month period? The question becomes why would they, maya is perfectly fine
I decided to learn animation out of nowhere and honestly...i tought it would be easier. Been watching this tutorial since yesterday and my walking is still a zombie walk=)) animators, you have all my respect!
One thing to say, this is not easy, all skills are developed with knowledge and lots of practice. Great animators have spent years honing their skills and those who use Cascadeur for productivity are really efficient.
I was literally trying to find any tutorial for a walk cycle done in Cascadeur today, wishing there was an official guide. And look at that, called it! Thank you and keep up the great work!
This tech is why people should stop acting like any AI is gonna ruin jobs when stuff like this just opens up many more ways for artist to set up scenes without hurting themselves in the process
I love thiiiiiiiiisssss I'm having way much fun with this software and this class just worked perfectly for what I wanted to create, a backwards walking animation ♥ Cascadeur 1000 out of 10, also this video is amazing, love how everything is explained and shows why and how and when.
It's good to see how a walk cycle is done with AutoPhysics in Cascadeur, but I think you'd better make step-by-step tutorials about complex body-mechanic animations. I saw your examples of parkour, side flip, heavy weapon, circus trapeze swing, animal, multi-character and hit animations
Needing to hold/drag the middle mouse button at 10:45 pretty much stops anyone using a touch pad in their tracks, and this doesn't seem to be something that can easily be switched in the input/hotkey settings
I'm using Chibi sample, and I just use the enforce because no matter what number I put in the Fulcrum the color of the bar doesn't change from red to yellow or to green and the other foot was using default fulcrum
This is great! I always felt that seamless looping was a missing feature, or at least i couldn't find any good tutorials on it. Only question i have now is how to make it work with root motion. I guess i could just "bake" the frames after fallowing this and then try to move that character so that the feet stay put but I'm wondering if there is a smarter or more "proper" way to do it? Either way, good job! Love the way this software is progressing :)
Dommage que ce soit toujours aussi compliqué pour un cycle de marche il y a quand même pas mal d'étapes juste pour mettre un pied devant l'autre mais je dois reconnaître que c'est un excellent tutoriel et un excellent logiciel 👌🏻
When I try to add FK to the interpolation at 5:29 it only adds to the keyframes (dark blue part). What am I doing wrong? The arms still bend at the elbow. Also when I select a point (e.g. wrist) then select several frames, it shows the trajectory for the wrong point (e.g. foot).
Hey, I had the same issue, there's a button further to the right, idk what the left ones do, but selecting the bit in the middle and pressing FK did it for me (one next to the bezier curves)
Thank you very much for your great tutorials 💖👌 i want to fly a bird using this software. Is it possible? Could you please release a tutorial about this? Thank you very much 🤗🤗💖💖
Hello! Of course, nothing prevents you from animating different movements, including flying! But the only limitation - auto physics does not work with aerodynamics, so such animations should be done without the main physical corrector
Would have been good to initiate the tutorial following on from a start walk animation so we can see how to start our looping animation in the right pose
I found out how, I needed to enforce fulcrum points on my feet point controllers, I am using a different model than in the tutorial. Although, the fulcrum areas are not areas, just green squares around the points I enforced fulcrum on, but the result was similar.
I've noticed that the tutorial covers the TECHNICAL aspect of using Cascadeur, but not the animation process per se. If you want to animate a walk loop, I strongly suggest observing keyframe positions from real-life reference videos. Cascadeur automates part of the process, but the correct keyframe positions are crucial for the best results. (complaining about "how bad this animation is" is beyond the scope of this tutorial. There's a HUGE difference between a technical tutorial to show how the program works from a tutorial that teaches how to animate something. While Cascadeur can undoubtedly accelerate the process, it's not intended to replace the entire animation process with a single click.).
I can't add the track with the arms. I selected all the arm parts, I clicked add track, but nothing happens, I don't get the track with the arms. All I have is , UE5 _manny, I don't even have Body, Head, Legs, Like you have. What could I be doing wrong?
This is cool but what about face animations? What pipeline we need for body animation in cascadeur and then face in maya? Should it be two rigs, one for body and one for face?
Thank you for the tutorial. I don't feel it's easier than making a walking cycle in maya by keyframe. When moving one part, the other part will be affected. After the auto animation was generated, you still need to fix the pose and add details by hand-key. It's still 8 frames.
Followed the tutorial exactly, and got good results, but for some reason on one frame the direction controllers on the head and torso rotated 90 degrees to one side. Don't know why this happened, and I couldn't fix it, leaving a strange jitter in the final result. Any advice?
Hello, I followed your tutorial on the walking cycle, I met at the end a problem when I had to polish the animation to try that the movements feet and hands did not want to change position, I do not understand the problem.
why i dont have a "max distance", "Max height" sliders and "fulcrum state" buttons in my Fulcrum point tab? (13:55) i only have a checker "interpolate" then. ответить можно на русском)
Whenever I select a track and go to Enable FK interpolation nothing happens, it still shows as IK. They keyframes will change to FK but the interpolation in between keyframes still shows as IK and wont let me change. Am I missing something?
I had the same problem. You're enabling FK for the keyframe (which is the menu on the left side of the timeline), when you need to enable FK for the interpolation (which is more towards the center of the timeline). Also make sure you didn't accidentally lock any of the hand points (they'll be blue in the autoposing view), as I accidentally did this and changing to FK had no effect. Good luck :)
i box select the whole person and manually move them forward every keyframe, paying attention to the feet to make sure they don’t slide unnaturally. doesn’t take too long
Great tutorial! Though I don't understand why but it seems like when I try to update the position event a little at the end after the auto physics, the whole body makes some drastic movement. Any ideas why this is doing that?
It is probably because of the Auto Posing - this is how it works. You can activate all the necessary point first or you can just use the regular point controllers! It's hard to say more accurately without seeing your scene.
Lost me at 2:28 - you did something really simple, but important that allowed you to rotate the heel and didn't include any instruction. readyplayerzack points out below in the comments below you have to use the E key shortcut to rotate the heel.
hm, in here it shows max speed instead of max distance.... Yeah failed at the most basic tutorial while trying to make a bit less conventional walk, my solution was to create the physics by hand like I do in blender.
For everybody who's lost like me with this tuto, Max Distance was renamed to Max Speed. Through logic, I don't understand why "max speed" since it's a distance thing, but that's what they went for.
Great video, but throughout the video you did random things and didn't explain them. Like how to increase your working space at the bottom, and then randomly activating autopose on some body parts and also didn't explain why. Also used a shortcut to select all points in the arms at one point, then didn't explain how. Just a heads up.
Cascadeur has rather terrible UX. Like every other CGI program, they adopted their own keymaps, camera navigation, and UI elements. This way, every program in the industry has different usage paradigms. Very handy... not. One question: why is "X" used to play the timeline? In what universe is "X" a valid key to start playing anything? Whoever made that up is just playing a cruel joke on the users I'm sure. Hey, consider using "spacebar" like all the other 1000 programs in existence. C++ programmers are not right in the head.
The English pronunciation is easy to understand, allowing non-English speakers to grasp the video without stress. Thank you.
Happy to see that someone try to solve animator's problems. For many years, We have used maya for animation. This tool can be future for animators.
Maya is industry standard and studios won't change that due to pipeline. But for small dev studios it will be a great tool.
Well first we would need to be able to rig and animate Our own characters in cascadeur.

The problem is this does not work well with custom rigs
