Alex, I teach an animation class for HS students and I have your channel as a resource for students. I have to say your explanation of concepts is perfectly on point, I really like how you go through the workflow and explain why you are making the choices you are doing (we also use the sprite fright rigs for our practice, so this is perfect for them) . Please know that you are making a difference in inspiring young students, we hope you continue to make videos as these are some of the best youtube blender explainer videos IMO. Thanks again!
Thank you for letting me know! Really happy my videos are helping you and your students. Yes I'll be making more videos soon. Wish you guys all the best. Thanks again for your note!

@@alexonstory Can I make a intro for you instead of giving the money I'm having a financial loss and my budget is really tight. I'm good at making professional intros.
dear alex on story, my story starts a while ago, when i accidentally found your channel to begin my journey through animation, and i'm greatfull for your time and explanation, it helped me a lot and now i'm working in animation studio. Thank you! Amazing job.
Wow wow wow! Good for you! Really happy to hear that congratulations! Happy my videos helped you out, but it was you putting in the work:) Thanks for your note!
hlo sir in latest versions of blender there are rigify and cloud rig are become seprate addons for rigging wich one is good ? Are they working together?
I find facial animation can be done pretty quick. When your new it'll take longer but that's normal. In this facial tutorial I spent about 15 minutes on the eyes. About 30 minutes on the mouth. The mouth for sure could have used another pass which might have taken another hour to clean/add mouth shapes.
Hello I want to ask something. I'm doing a 90 degree right turn and walk on my character on same rotation of my rig which is after 90 degree turn but I'm not able to work on walk after that because mirroring is still working on x axis not on local axis. I didn't rotate the character from root bone while doing the turn
@@FunTheMental-Studios Hmm interesting! I'll have to give that a try to see if I also get the same issue as you. If I do I'll explore what might get the mirroring to work. Will share my findings. Thanks for y9our question!
@@FunTheMental-Studios Yeah lets do that and I'll take a look. It'll be about 4 days till I can take a look since I am off right now. You can find my email on the about page on this channel.
Please someone help me I am using the blender 4.1 version. And all the rigged characters I have downloaded from blender studio are not working properly. Its hands are not moving. What should I do??? Please help me😭
in character animation..viewport and rendered video isnt same speed....when i review the animation on viewport the speed is going perfect..but when it gets rendered..all the things gets faster automatically....any idea?...why is this happenning
Great question! Most likely what is happening is your getting a slower frame rate in your scene. 2 things to check to make sure your getting consistent results. First, make sure your scene is set to 24 frps. In your Output properties under Format you should see your Frame Rate say 24fps. Output properties looks like the printer icon on the right side. Next, turn Text Info on in the Viewport Overlays options. You find that in the top right corner of your big viewport window. It's the two circle icons with the one circle that is solid and the other that is outlined. When playing your animation you will see the fps of your scene displayed on the left upper corner of your viewport window. You want that number to be as close to 24 fps. If your playback is slow try animating in solid mode and not textured mode. Hope that helps!
So you can turn on/off control layers when selecting the rig. Under Data Properties - Bone Collections you will see all the different layers. Turn some things on and see what happens. When you find the right layer you can at least name it so you can find it again quickly. I am sure there should be an addon that can make working with these layers more easy. Hope that helped!
Hello Alex, can I use this model for commercial use or short films for RUclips? please confirm this. Also, I have create a short animation video If you have 10 sec time then please check it out.

I would love to see the tutorial of how you modled this character😢
Such a great character!
I did not make him. He's a character from the Blender Sprite Fright movie.
studio.blender.org/characters/sprite/v1/
can you make tutorial 0 to 100 level animation like how stand up from chair to body movements please!
Great suggestion, thanks! Yes that is a great animation exercise. Adding it to my list.
@@alexonstory let's go then 😁
Hello... can you please make animation tutorial for beginners ... thank you ...😢
Thanks for the note!
Yes I'll be working on beginner friendly animation stuff soon.
Thank you very much ... I really hope you make it soon .... 😁
@@masterpo1465 I'll try and put something together in the next month or 2. Work has just picked up. But it's the next few tutorials coming out.
Hello, did you use an auto rig for this character’s face?
Hey! No, this rig was made at the Blender Studio. I am not sure how they went about rigging the face. studio.blender.org/characters/
Can you give how much time/day took for facial animation. With facial mocap can we make it in 1 day
I find facial animation can be done pretty quick. When your new it'll take longer but that's normal.
In this facial tutorial I spent about 15 minutes on the eyes. About 30 minutes on the mouth. The mouth for sure could have used another pass which might have taken another hour to clean/add mouth shapes.
Alex always putting the keys where its mouth is.
:) thanks!
Is there onion skin in 3D? Where you can see previous and next pose when posing
There is yes, github.com/tingjoybits/Mesh_Onion_Skins
Hope that helps!
@@alexonstory appreciate.
I want more and more Topics regarding Animation (Complete Guide With Shortcut/Trick) From You
Thanks for letting me know.
Yes will be making more videos.
Why dont u use Rigify?
The rigs I was using in the tutorial were done with CloudRig. If they were done with Rigify I'd use that.
Hello I want to ask something. I'm doing a 90 degree right turn and walk on my character on same rotation of my rig which is after 90 degree turn but I'm not able to work on walk after that because mirroring is still working on x axis not on local axis.

The flip pose not working after the turn so I'm not able to complete my animation 😢
@@FunTheMental-Studios Hmm interesting! I'll have to give that a try to see if I also get the same issue as you. If I do I'll explore what might get the mirroring to work. Will share my findings. Thanks for y9our question!

@@alexonstory should I share the file privately if you want?
@@FunTheMental-Studios Yeah lets do that and I'll take a look. It'll be about 4 days till I can take a look since I am off right now. You can find my email on the about page on this channel.

@@alexonstory ohh tnk u so much
.. ur advise of play scene on solid mode not texture worked for me...god bless 👍👍
That's great! Happy to help:)
Have you used blender 4.0? All the layers tabs seem to be missing. You can't view fk arms anymore. Maybe I'm missing something?
Playing with it now. I was noticing that, but I think I was also missing something. Checking tonight. Will let you know soon.
So you can turn on/off control layers when selecting the rig. Under Data Properties - Bone Collections you will see all the different layers. Turn some things on and see what happens. When you find the right layer you can at least name it so you can find it again quickly. I am sure there should be an addon that can make working with these layers more easy.

I think that blender studio is still working on a working cloudrig addon for the 4.0 version@@alexonstory
