After reading many of the comments about only one strip animating while the others freeze, my solution in the NLA is to open panel on the right, select "Strip" (not just "Extra") and make sure each armature is switched from Hold to Nothing.
Yep, this works for me. I am using blender 3.4 and the two "skating" animations ("peddling" and "coasting"). I used the "peddling" as the "skinned", and the "coasting" as the "non-skinned". It seemed that, with "Hold" set on both, the "skinned" animation would (I guess) "Hold", but even with "Hold" on the "non-skinned" animation, the "non-skinned" animation would run but the "skinned" animation would not run.
Thank you for this tutorial. This trick of adjusting the curves in Graph editor at 7:20 is the best solution I found -in years- of connecting disparate mocap animations (which unlike neatly cleaned Mixamo animations will never start at origin, they will always be differently oriented etc)
For everyone not getting the multiple tracks to work, follow this: in order to get each track to play simultaneously no matter it's track position, you need to 1) Hop over to the "Active Strip" options (Press N, then go to the "Active Strip" area 2) In the "Extra" dropdown menu, select "Nothing" 3) In the "Blend" dropdown menu, select "Combine" That's it! Just make sure to do this with each action strip and everything will work good.... Note: You have to select the Action Strip itself, not the Track This way you can have multiple tracks, like shown in the video. Which actually will follow up after each other. In the standard settings only the top track works.
@@tloumahlaba4710 Did you also make sure none of the stars on the left side are checked? Because if so, it will only play that specific track. So you gotta set the Dropdown menu's as I said above, AND make sure none of the stars are selected. I hope this helps :)
Thank you! Btw, for those of you still struggling. After you press N on the non-linear animation window, on the far right, you will see three options: Edited Action, Strip, and Modifers. You must select STRIP. Then, you must change Extrapolation to Nothing and Blend to Combine. You must select each individual action strip and repeat the process. Hope this helps.
As a soccer/football player, I can tell that the size of the field is too small judging by the GK field. As a wannabe animator, I can tell this was the best tutorial I could find in 6 months! Thankyou!
This is great video. In order to put enabled and disabled keyframe one must hover on the eye icon. Other ways enabled and disabled options doesnt change. So this minor but very important detail can be highlighted. Thanks for video.
Thank you for this excellent precise, concise and complete work. Apart from the small problem solved by the commenters and the one encountered on the balloon object constraint keyframes which I solved using the "Influence" window and the associated Keyframe command. Exceptional tutorial on content and form 🏆🏆🏆. I subscribe! ☺☺☺
Thank for sharing this video I can say it motivates to keep me in touch with blender I feel like I have new way in animation no feeling stressed any more
Great tutorial, you are awesome for sharing your knowledge and materials. I had the issue with the NLA strips not running for the IDLE and SAVE on my desktop until I followed your advice and switch the Extrapolation from Hold to Nothing and it worked fine. Oddly when I encountered the problem I switched from my desktop to my laptop and didn't have to change any settings and I made it through the whole tutorial with no issues. I'm going to walk through the process on my desktop again to see if everything works ok there. Thank you so much.
I had problems in playing animatioins as shown at 5:31. If you also have the same problem, switch from Hold to Nothing in the Extrapolation parameter you find in the Strip tab (if you don't see the tab, press N with the mouse in the NonLinear editor)
great tutorial but having probs at 4.45 when adding new action strips i only get the rig animating as the two amiatures saved are not attached to the character like the first idle action strip is...what have i missed.. thanks in advance.
nope, my two strips do not play only the one on top that was second to be put in, if I swap them then the first will play but no the second strip.. wtf
For some reason I cant see the keyframes on the timeline after clicking on the skeleton. I can add keyframes but I don't see the one that is already there
I have three animations i.e., idle, start walk, walking. Where you select the hip bone and add cursor to selected, I select the left foot bone. And when I add selection to cursor after selecting the next frame, my object doesn't displace to the selected location rather it stays where it is. It only works when I select the hip bone but with hip bone's reference, the animation looks clunky. What should I do?
This is a very useful tutorial. Thank you. PS. Why when you import your first armature without skin, and then you move it on X a little, and hit play it animates right there...but when I do the same, after I hit play, it pops to the world origin and animates there?
Thank you so much. May I ask what software version do you use? I have a problem at 12'40 (when I press the I key, the list will appear again) please help me. I'm new to Blender. I am using v3.0.1.
I have sent the video to your inbox. See if you can help me. In the original video, I added a red arrow where I couldn't do it. Please watch and guide me. I'm a beginner and don't know much about Blender
It's not working atall for me Is there a specific setting for this method of animation ?? After pushing down my actions and deleting the skeletal objects, I use G key to adjust the action strips I added but when I play the timeline, it's only the last added action strip that plays, the model only start to animate when the animation timeline reaches the last added action strip
Hi brother, bro there is a problem one left time 5:20 seconds forward your animation is going down c up or play ho rehaan all animation (idle then saving then throw) but when i follow your same sequence mr i animations don't happen bas last (throw) only plays, but all other starting pod to animations don't play, but if i keep their sequence line wise tabs all plays easily. Please guide me
Hlo bhaji Thanks for the helpful video But when we are doing it then mesh look disturbed Character arms combine and legs turn in different ways Pls suggest
Thanks for the video really good. However I am having a big problem. When I get to 5m39 section, and I have added the actions to different tracks, It will only act out the top layer, no matter what. I change the order and it will only play the top track, if there is no gap between or they overlap. If I put the actions on the same tracks it will play them. Anyone else had this issue?
@@SuperSarvikMan I am new to blender, I am wondering if it's a bug. I am going to try updates/reinstall see if that helps. I can't find anyone else with this issue on the forums, but maybe just not found the thread yet
Hi this is Great, for locations. what is you wish to Turn the rotation (world) of the hIp bone. so the figure/ armature is turned another way.? Im not sure How to do this... so its only changes the direction and not all the animation of hip...?
After combining my camera isn’t working. When i add a camera, set a view and press Cntl+Alt+0 camera should set itself to the view r8? But my camera is not working. It's not moving from its position. But if i open another window of something else, then its working fine. How could i fix that?? I'm using multiple camera.
Does anyone know how to add the Mixamo Tab into Blender 3.6? I have tried downloading it and installing it, Blender refuses to acknowledge it so I can enable it.
hi Please help I follow your instructions step by step and in slow motion but my X graph is always aligned but the animation is still misaligned therefore there's nothing to twig on the graph. I tried figling with the different points in the graph but I end up with the charactor going to to different spots before throwing the ball. What do you thing i'm doing wrong?
Can I ask another question? If we take two or three animations let's come together But there are problems such as the arm getting into the character. Can it be fixed?
I have been following step by step but once i get to 8:21 the animation location error just skips to the next keyframe WHAT am i doing wrong? please help im ready to slam my head in the wall
i have a problem so when i move one animation to the right site when i press play button it then moves back to the center where the previus animation is, can someone help pls
thanks for that great guide! sir, I want to convert a maximo animation as to skyrim se (.hkx) animation. I need to change that maximo animations' skeleton to the game's skeleton. I'm a beginner and need a tip for that thing.
Hi MK Graphics, I have done a combined animation like this tutorial - but unsightly jumps between the animations are visible. I wanted to improve the weak points with Mixamo Addon. So I duplicated the armature - Then I created a control rig with the Mixamo addon and chose the duplicated armature as the source skeleton. Nothing happens - the animation is not applied. Do you have an idea? Thank you and best regards
