you know when I see the result of this tutorial, I feel so nice because of you. Honestly, my first 2d blender animation came to the life last week after learning from you.

[@Learn2Animate]

Great to hear! 😊 Thanks

[@wildmistgarden]

excellent....... there are many videos on RUclips....but your's actually talks about what is being searched. Thanks a lot. It really helps.

[@Learn2Animate]

Thanks and welcome!! 😎 👍

[@jmm1233]

been following this and just realised i can make the path and object as collection inside an particle emitter

[@Learn2Animate]

Wow, I hadn't thought of that. Great Idea. 😎

Thanks for this tutorial. Blender is hard to learn. 😂

[@Learn2Animate]

Happy to help! Blender is a bit hard to learn at first but once you can learn a few of the features you will enjoy it very much. Keep at it. 😎 👍

[@EPSTomcat11]

Excellent tutorial. How would you do an animation of footprints “walking “ along a path, leaving the footprints behind like breadcrumbs?

[@Learn2Animate]

I am not sure on this one. Maybe just make the footprints appear kind of like I did with the lip sync on this video: ruclips.net/video/arv6gSa-20Y/видео.html But instead of the mouth just use the footprints. Maybe.. 👍 😎

[@boussimohamed]

thanks a lot for sharing us this tutorial .I learned a lot from you and keep learning you are very helpful and honest .i do the same steps but keeping the ofset on didn't work. how can i fix that to make it work? 😭

[@boussimohamed]

to get the same result i do it frame by frame it work but it took more time to get acceptable result 😟

[@BoDJavip]

Good videos

[@Learn2Animate]

Thanks! 👍 😀

[@waffleassembly6779]

Finally got it to work after doing it over and over for an hour. Yikes, I'm not even sure why it wasn't working but but my ugly red airplane is following the path now.

[@Learn2Animate]

Awesome!! 😎 Thanks

[@dileepkful]

Would this work in 2.91.0 version?.Tried this exercise many times but got stuck in the middle after snapping the object to the path.Think that it has something to do with the version.... Any way luckily the software is open source and I can give it another try after downloading the new version.Please come up with more Grease pencil videos ....Thank you

[@Learn2Animate]

It should, I will try this in 2.91.2 and get back to you. Thanks

[@letslearn291]

i am tweening one object, on top of that i am adding follow path constraint. problem is as soon as i give follow path constraints, object positions changed. it could be fixed by moving the object to starting of a path. But it is affecting previous tweened positions that i set. any solution to fix this?

[@Learn2Animate]

You might have to "Parent" your original object to an empty and constrain the empty and tween the original object. Let me know if this helps. 😎 👍

good video, but i have a problem:

I hope you can help me :)

[@Learn2Animate]

Is there an image in the background? Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/o_CEsPD_OlE/видео.html Let me know if this helps. 😎👍

[@erikaleonie4649]

Hello owner of the best channel on RUclips, question… can I use a Path in a Tiny animation? Instead of just an object? Like a flying bird? Or a swimming fish?

[@Learn2Animate]

Thank you Erika, You can do it. You can animate something using frame by frame and have the Grease Pencil Object follow along a path. Let me know if you can do it. Sounds interesting for a tutorial. 👍😎

[@volteonex1862]

When I go to use the eye dropper, it doesn’t keep my selection or snap to the start. Can someone explain why that might happen?

[@Learn2Animate]

I would most likely need to see your file to troubleshoot it. Keep working on it.

[@rewe3536]

Same thing. I create a new file, add a stroke, add the path and try to add the path to the stroke. Nothing happens. Blender 3.6.1

[@ahmedelkafafy9427]

How I can animate the object to follows two paths, I mean follow first path until it finish, then wait for a few seconds and follow the second path? Thanks in advance

[@Learn2Animate]

So I think you don't really need two paths. You can make a very long path that covers both paths that you are thinking about and then pause the animation and continue when you need to. Animating the offset. Start, Stop Start again & Stop again. Hope this helps. 😎👍

[@ahmedelkafafy9427]

@@Learn2Animate actually i need the object to do another thing in the stop time (like wave hands) then it take the other path

[@Learn2Animate]

I think you can still do this with one path. The hand would be a secondary action like the wings on this butterfly: ruclips.net/video/eq0VD34UdZs/видео.html But I would probably need to see what you are talking about to understand it a bit better. You can email me at [e-mail]

[@Learn2Animate]

I think I will do a video on this. I will let you know

[@coanimator2103]

something is happen couldn't figure it out. The object is not responding according to the pattern of the curve. Confused.

[@Learn2Animate]

Not sure what might be happening, you might need to start the whole thing from the start.

[@mmmurmurrr9937]

is there a way to flip it? my animations going the backwards and offscreen 😂

[@Learn2Animate]

Yes, you can flip the direction of the curve. Right Click on the curve > Switch Direction. Hope this helps. 😎
