I want to rename my graph editor in Maya to "Spaghetti of confusion" now.

A lot of people learning including myself struggle to lock in a good workflow or even find information about it, I definitely think you should try to do some longer videos around fundamentals explaining how you do your Extremes, in between action lines and such as I took me a while to grasp applying 2D animation to 3D from a book without a boring speaker or no visual aid as some people struggle from reading.

This video came at the perfect time for me! I'm taking my shot into spline today, and anything regarding the Graph Editor is useful since it's kinda hard to come by good GE vids on youtube. Thanks for the video!

You are the guru of Graph Editor, Spaghetti Box! very useful like always. I’m rather interested in the MG plugin and the last one that’d be very helpful while working with Mocap files indeed. Do you retarget the mocap file in Mobu or you go straight working with retargeted animation in Maya ?

I really love your channel man keep up the good work. You are like a mentor for us!

How do u delete keyframe in graph editor which plugin?

[rafaelikenaga]

Hey Harvey, Thank you so much for your videos, appreciate the time you have put on this. If I may, wanted to ask you something, I'm just getting into animation using the standard Maya quick rig tool, and sometime I can't figure it out why my keys in the graph editor are not affecting the the model. I figured it's something with the IK, when I switch between, full body, body part and selection, I sometimes can find the right key in the editor, but it's messy and I don't know what I am doing most of the time, also it becomes a night mare when In trying to copy keys of just one of the controls in my rig to another control. Does any of your videos addresses that or would you know somewhere I could go get myself educated on these? Thank you so much, big fan of your content :)

[Goodman_Grey]

Thanks for making such an informative video! I'll definitely be picking up those plugins. I was wondering what rig you're using in the video? Cheers!
