I havent finished watching but i can now see why most other blender tutorials dont work, because they dont explain workflows, they are all just nifty tips and tricks which can be fine for supplementing an already built workflow, but they cant make workflows, hence why learning by youtube can be so hard.
I feel deeply compelled to express my gratitude to you. The skill you possess in demystifying complex concepts and crafting exhaustive tutorials is nothing short of awe-inspiring. I have been a paid member of Blender Studio and have undertaken multiple courses there. Yet, none have been able to measure up to the exceptional way you enlighten and instruct. Your unique teaching style far exceeds the norms, making learning an absolute delight. Thank you for the unparalleled wisdom you share.
Thank you Nicholas! That's a very nice comment! I am happy the tutorial is helpful and of value. I do like sharing how I go about this art form with others. I did start in part because I was disappointed with what was being shared. Both paid and free.
@@alexonstoryhie sir! Thank you so much for this content. Honestly we dont have such good tutorials both paid and free. My question however is, how do i get the same audio that you are using in this animation tutorial. I am following along and i cant seem to get the audio that you used. Thanks a lot sir!
@@josiahbkadembo3958 Thanks for the note! Really happy to hear your doing the shot also. Good luck, you got this! jayuzumi.com/macaulay-culkin-soundboard You'll find it on the third row on the right.
This video is amazing! Watched it many times and feel like i learn something new each time. Would love to see another pose to pose animation done with your workflow.
Love your videos, I have had to learn animation all by myself for the past couple of years, because there aren’t that many good tutorials out there for general animation, but your videos help me a lot, keep up the good work 👍
Thank you that is great to hear! I have a lot of respect for people who get after it. I know it's not easy but keep going. I'll keep posting content that will hopefully be of value.
You are a Jedi when it comes to demystifying cg animation. I have been practicing my animation but I have not been improving that much due to not having a teacher that actively explains the concepts or translating them in a way one can understand without it losing its meaning. You really helped me a lot and I am so grateful.
Really happy to hear that! It's a nice feeling when an idea starts to make sense and we can put it into practice. Keep going, each baby step adds up and before you know it you have taken a big leap forward. Thanks for the note!
We're really lacking quality long-form tutorials like the ones you make. I really appreciate this! I'll pay close attention to the things you make going forward.
You are an excellent teacher , easy to understand and approach ideas step by step , I’m a beginner animator and I’m so scared of super difficult animations scenes , but thinking like you makes me not overthink scenes and approach it in a good and understandable way, thank you!
I am happy to hear that! Thanks for the note! When your starting out start basic and learn the foundations. Then you can build from there more easily. Keep your tests simple. You got this!
@@alexonstory thanks man ! I have done a lot of basics and I jump to do walks , runs, jumps , etc.. but sometimes I feel like I have to go back to basics , but watching your videos really helped me on approaching animation in a better way
@@YioshiEdit That's great happy about that! Don't feel bad about going back to more simple animation exercises. It's a chance to slow down and think about what your doing and why. Then you jump to something more challenging a bit outside your comfort level. Before you know it your creating shots your proud of.
Thank you so much, sir This is the only page that teaches character animation in a proper way Finally today I made my first animated character please upload more videos related to animation in Blender
I love your videos, you explain these workflows so clearly, it's refreshing. By the way you might know this by now, but if you press "Shift+E" (in pose mode while selecting the controls you want), it allows you to "slide" between 2 existing keyframes (0% being the previous keyframe, 100% being the next). And with this method you can also create an overshoot ! After pressing "Shift+E", simply press "E" again and it will allow you to go below 0% or above 100%.
I'm an amateur animator. (Self taught going on a year now) I was able to comprehend everything you said and it blew my mind how easily I was learning. Sometimes I find it difficult learning from RUclips videos but this connected with me. The many videos I've watched from you have extremely helpful. Thank you for your efforts and inspiring people like me.
Really happy to hear that! Thank you for your note! Good for you for learning animation on your own and trying to find the best material to learn from. Keep going. It's those small baby steps that add up over time!
Seriously the best animation tutorial ever. Thank you so much for providing free content to everyone! I would love to see you cover video game animations or basic action/fighting animations one day!
Great suggestion! Added it to my list. Will be getting back to making more videos in a bit. Yes will for sure cover more action and fighting. Thanks for your note :)
I actually learned how to pose to pose a bit by myself, but hearing your breakdown on it clarifies and solidifies what I should be doing, and what I should not be doing, where I had no guidance whatsoever before watching. Stiff animation was a problem I was having. Definitely going to learn about the other workflows on your channel, it's really informative. As well as how to keep the graph editor somewhat clean, mine's a disaster.
Thank you, Mr Alex, I can't express my gratitude enough... Your videos are helping me a lot with my final year group short film animation. May God richly bless you!
Thanks for another great tutorial. I think lack of realistic ideas is what holds me back. Ideas that I have are way beyond my abilities (for now), so having something more grounded (and explained) really helps. I think I strayed from your guidance a bit and started doing the layered workflow but I guess it turned out fine. The tutorial you've posted a while ago (the one with the red panda) inspired me to take my animation study more seriously. I've been working my way through an animation course by Pierrick Picaut over the last 2 months or so. Good to see you back.
Thanks for the comment! Happy to hear your getting value from my tutorials, and that your more focused on improving your animation skill. That's a big step! It's great you have your bigger ideas. Keep thinking about them and even write them down. At the same time doing smaller exercises is good cause you do more quantity. By pumping out more animation you get more practice in. Wanting to improve really requires you to produce more. You'll be making errors along the way and that's part of the process. You'll also be learning faster and seeing your skills improve quicker. For more action shots using a straight ahead/layered/hybrid workflow does work better then doing just pose to pose. That's great! The more places you can gather information the better. Thanks again for your note!
I love looking into all kinds of tutorials on blender even way before I’m ready for it to ease me into these topics especially animation stuff since I plan to animate myself!
Pose to pose is best for character animation and straight ahead is great for spontaneous action like effects, secondary animation or free form animation. This not just exclusive to 3D but relates to any animation. Pose to Pose helps you with the Keys which can come from your boards, Extremes and Breakdowns. Pose to pose is key for the acting in your character animations which should comes from your boards/animatics and script. Timing is also key here as well so you should also have a timing chart for your animations to make sure you hit your key points to make sure your acting sells the story you want to tell.
Such a great tutorial bro... Thank you so much for making such amazing videos... from last 4 days I am trying to learn and understand every single step which you explaining. I have Learned a lot from you.. Best Teacher on the whole RUclips..
Do you have like a paid course or something? I wanna check it out so hard rn fr...These tutorials of yours feels like a paid course....from the quality to dedication you give to the videos....Thank you Alex!
I appreciate that thank you! I do want as many people to enjoy and learn animation. At the moment I don't have any paid course. I'll start working on something and hopefully will have something to offer closer to the end of the year. Thanks for the note!
Thanks for giving us tech animator's a mention. I think we're like roadies, doing our work and trying to be invisible. Anyway appreciate it and enjoying your content and presentation style. Keep it up man!
Thank you! Absolutely, in production it takes all departments doing what they are good at so we can all get out the same product. Tech Animators are key as you bridge art and technology.
really helpful to see the way other people work and try to keep what's best for you, I've always worked pose to pose but never really gave it a try to do it with automatic tangents ( I've always worked with constant) but I do see the benefits by doing it like this, it's difficult in the beggining since if I'm just playing you have that auto transition whenever you have few poses but it does have it's benefits and you can have cleaner curves I guess. Again thank you for the tutorial
Happy the video was helpful! Thanks for your note! I also used to work more in constant, I really like the look. Blocking in spline and building in your holds I find you get a closer idea of the end result, because your timing is easier to judge.
You are a gift for the animators community, thank you so much for your amazing educative content, so far the best channel on the topic I've ever came across. I really love your way to teach. Keep blasting! Oh, by the way, have you heard about 'Keyframe Type'? In any keyframe editor you can select keyframes and press R to define what type of keyframe it is. Might be useful to keep things clear faster!
Thanks you for your note! That's really nice! It's a great reminder. I don't use the Keyframe Type, but for a tutorial when explaining what I am doing I think that would help make things more clear. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment! Haha yeah I just got used to not using auto key this last year. Good point! I'm going to make a video about using and not using Auto Key. Thanks!
Thanks for these tutorials great info and execution I love how clearly you explain everything. Tip instead of ctrl+C then ctrl+V in the dopesheet you can just press Shit +D and just drag the mouse/pen to the key where you want it.
@@alexonstory how ever you don't get the option to paste flipped then. but for just copying a key it's perfect. Another tip Or should I say feature I would really like you to deep dive and explain how to use it is the different ways we have in Blender to blend keys between poses AKA Blenders equivalent of Maya's Tween mashine, but on steroids as we can do so much more than just that. Place timeline between two keys set a key then press either ctrl+ e, alt+e, shift+e and you'll see all those options. Straight up blend from one key to another or blend to default, blend to extreme aka overshoot and more, then there are different smooth options. As you can tell I'm aware of all these features, but I lack to know how to use them proporly. I didn't even completely get that part where you sat a key to make it so when you then pasted beyond that key the keys before did not change. Also how you used automatic handles on just certain keys I usually do it on many keys at once, but I see now that there is a reason to use automatic key handles on certain keys. Again please elaborate on all the ways to manipulate already set keys and why and when to use a certain type of key handles. Stay awesome just the way you are.
Great points, thank you for this! Sorry for the late reply! Adding all these to my list. And yes as I make more videos I'll dive deeper into what your asking in certain videos:)
Legend -- absolutely awesome vid dude -- to echo many comments below it feels unreal to have such sophisticated yet accessible tuition here for free -- particularly find it so useful to contextualise all the technicality and creativity within the structured workflow -- in fact I think u could even refer back to those most simple, wide concepts a little more throughout the animation tutorial! E.g. if you had a returning visual cue to illustrate the pose-pose-hold-settle format when the graph editor starts looking a bit intimidating -- If it isn't too presumptuous to make a suggestion for future vids lol !! Many many thanks dude
Hello! Very very good explanations of the process. You're excellent at teaching. I would be very interested to see a similar video about the straight ahead process and the layering workflow. Cheers!
That's very nice thank you! I'll be working on those videos next. Should have straight ahead workflow done in a little over a week then layered a short time after that.

You now have the ability to toggle the visibility of layers in the Bone Collections section within the Data Properties.

Awesome tutorial, keep it up. Cant wait for the next one.
Thanks for the note! Nice, it'll be up soon!
Thanks for these tutorials great info and execution I love how clearly you explain everything. Tip instead of ctrl+C then ctrl+V in the dopesheet you can just press Shit +D and just drag the mouse/pen to the key where you want it.
That's great to hear thank you! Great tip!! Will give that a try :)
@@alexonstory how ever you don't get the option to paste flipped then. but for just copying a key it's perfect. Another tip Or should I say feature I would really like you to deep dive and explain how to use it is the different ways we have in Blender to blend keys between poses AKA Blenders equivalent of Maya's Tween mashine, but on steroids as we can do so much more than just that.
Place timeline between two keys set a key then press either ctrl+ e, alt+e, shift+e and you'll see all those options. Straight up blend from one key to another or blend to default, blend to extreme aka overshoot and more, then there are different smooth options. As you can tell I'm aware of all these features, but I lack to know how to use them proporly.
I didn't even completely get that part where you sat a key to make it so when you then pasted beyond that key the keys before did not change. Also how you used automatic handles on just certain keys I usually do it on many keys at once, but I see now that there is a reason to use automatic key handles on certain keys. Again please elaborate on all the ways to manipulate already set keys and why and when to use a certain type of key handles.
Stay awesome just the way you are.
Great points, thank you for this!
Sorry for the late reply!
Adding all these to my list. And yes as I make more videos I'll dive deeper into what your asking in certain videos:)
Very cool! Can't wait for your next videos.
Thanks Alex!
In about a week and a half I'll have straight head workflow tutorial. Followed by layered animation shortly after.
🔥🔥🔥
This is great ❤ I really appreciate it. Thank you
Thank you for this wonderful video!
My pleasure! Thanks for the note!
Legend -- absolutely awesome vid dude -- to echo many comments below it feels unreal to have such sophisticated yet accessible tuition here for free -- particularly find it so useful to contextualise all the technicality and creativity within the structured workflow -- in fact I think u could even refer back to those most simple, wide concepts a little more throughout the animation tutorial! E.g. if you had a returning visual cue to illustrate the pose-pose-hold-settle format when the graph editor starts looking a bit intimidating -- If it isn't too presumptuous to make a suggestion for future vids lol !! Many many thanks dude
Thank you! This is great feedback!
I for sure will think about what you said and try to incorporate it into my upcoming videos, thanks!
Very good tutorial, THANK YOU

Hello! Very very good explanations of the process. You're excellent at teaching.
I would be very interested to see a similar video about the straight ahead process and the layering workflow.
Cheers!
