I’ve been going through his rigging and animation courses and the rigging one has been especially helpful. All this stuff is slow to make but it’s satisfying when you see it looking fluid. That being said, I’ve been using Cascadeur the last couple weeks and I don’t think I’m coming back to regular Blender for character animation. I can’t imagine going back actually.

Wow❤, p2design and Alex on story, my favourite animators of blender 🎉

And after that how can I bake to key frames the action, just baking animation? Please help.

I was going crazy why my motion paths didn't appear: I was not aware that armatures had their own motions paths. I kinda whish that blender renames these two option to literally "Object motion paths" and "armature motion paths" 😅

Thanks for the help 🦾

I love Pierrick's tutorials but I must say for a second there I wandered why your voice was lower 😂

Can you edit the motion path /trail with blender 3.6. There once was a editable motion trail by bart crouch.

I want to learn how to start animating in blender. Any videos that would help me start would be amazing.

0:34 how do you manipulate the controller?

Does anyone know if it's possible to render out the motion path in blender?

Sadly, Blender motion paths miss the point of why motion paths are useful. Their purpose should be to have the ability to edit the motion path itself in viewport and have it affect animation, basically animating with the curve inside the viewport, for example something that Unreal Engine can already do in their new animation system. This current way the motion paths are just a visual reference, which is useful, but it doesn't utilize the true power of motion paths at all.

i keep seeing people talk about how to use motion path, but nobody is explaining why you need motion path. what is the benefit?

[lonesomealeks]

what? i didn't understand a single thing :( Please make more comprehensive tutorials on animation in general. As i have 'mastered' modeling, sculpting, texturing and rigging I am now ready to get into animation. Yeah Baby.
