Cool, didnt know about the delete static channels command, super useful! Thats why I love your vids Daryl, theres always a chance of learning something new - even as a proficient user myself.
@@darylobert Im using the make joint dynamic since today ( jiggle effect for breasts) but the problem is that after I apply this, 3 of the options >(stiffness, damping and Jiggle weight ) are all locked in yellow color. I can not unlock them. Like if they are hard coded. Any idea what is happening mate? Or is this even normal !?
When I did this up to 1:03 it's all good. But when I press play I can see the spline moving around but the joint chain I created it from stays still. What basic error have I made?
Hello, daryl obert: First of all, thank you for your great video. It really helps me a lot! I have a question about turning baked animation. When I baked the whole joint chains, for example, I bake a dynamic long dress for a game character, and I want to turn some joints at key frames by joint controllers, how could I do that? In other words, how could I bake animation(dynamic) to joints controllers? Looking forward to your reply, Thank you!
after Daryl maya works i start liking mondays! ;) This maya tools are amazing, before this curve based rigs was a bit nightimre for animation. But still curve rig old fashioned its usefull like particles etc.
daryl thanks for this can i ask please if i have a mesh that doesn't have joint and then i used dynamic joint on only one part example flag mesh how suppose to link the simulation to my mesh thanks
Hi Daryl, great tips. I've been following your videos for over a year now. I have a specific question regards system performance. Say i have this huge mountain scene with several props and it already takes over 1million polys and i know i'll have to add in a rigged character thats another million polys. At this point everything is going so slow and laggy and i can barely rotate around the scene and i need to start animating everything and add multiple dynamic processes that will require even more of my system power. Is there a good approach and technique i can use to basically make everything alot less system driven. Like temporary reducing poly count in big amounts or maybe something else that i'm not aware of to reduce my systems performance and i could work more efficiently in the scene. Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm a bit confused about the isolate select hotkey though. As far as I know that button has been on the shelf for years and the hotkey Shift+I toggles isolate select and that hotkey's been there forever.
+Rymdkakor Yes, that icon on the shelf has been around for a little, I forget what cut of Maya it came in maybe 2015? The hot key of Crtl 1 is new and much easier to hit than Shift I
Oh sorry for the late reply! I have been using Maya since the 2011 or 2012 version and I don't remember it ever not being there so I think it's older than that :)
Hi, can somebody tell me where I can get the "Make joints dynamic" plug in compatible for 2017 version of Maya? Because I know this is a plug in of the Maya 2013 bonus tools. Please help

+Stefan Ehrenhaus Maya is cool like that, I learn new stuff all the time and I have worked at Alias/Autodesk for 21 years:-)

@@thesteammachine1282 curious if you ever found the solution ?
Man I'd love to watch a 10 hour tutorial on how you made this character from scratch. Awesome
Amazing tutorials ❤❤
There is no Bonus Tools tab on Maya 2018. Is there a plug-in available? I would really like to be able to do what you did in this video.
I like the animation layer, for wieghting in betweens, not depending on it 100%. But some time its useful. Thank you Daryl for another great tips :)

Thanx! Great tips again! Love all your explanation videos. Im from Maldives and i love animation
Perfectly made lesson here Daryl! Cheers!
Thanks Man!

This is so awesome... why haven't I seen this before..
Golden Channel, awesome tutorial !
Thanks Man!
Still good Thanks for the help with getting overrides to act predictably.

super helpful!!!
ctrl + 1 = toggle isolation mode
thanks man
Hi bro, I am wondering if there is a similar method to bake animation from controllers to joins in case of importing fbx files into game engine
Please tell me how it is possible for you to have such a high quality render in your viewport??!!???!?
Thanks for the tutorial!

how can i get "bonus tool", i use maya 2016 ex2 but it's not available on my toolbar,.

Thank you very much that was very helpful
after setting up the animation layer. Can I rebake the whole thing so I can even get rid of the layer?
+HapZungLam Sure you can combine the layers, look at the menu Layers > Merge Layer
thank you
Awesome Robot ;-) Daryl can you show how to bake Scene Time Warp to skeletons? ;-) Thanks.
thank you !!! It really helps me a lot
thank for great tuto
Was this model from a particular project?
+Anand Halbhavi Its a model from Hyper Space Madness.
Niiice, I dig this
My brother please give me character link
You have mental ray please give me mental ray plugin rig for maya 2017
anyone know where i can find the make joint dynamics in the 2018 version?
