WEBVTT 00:00.450 --> 00:07.300 OK, we're back working on this walk cycle, I just to open up this scene 11 walk cycle start and so 00:07.300 --> 00:11.220 I'm going to select everything and you notice I'm grabbing maybe some things I don't want to grab. 00:11.580 --> 00:15.030 Let's just make sure we have joints and geometry selected off. 00:15.030 --> 00:16.290 I'm going to click and drag again. 00:16.740 --> 00:18.810 And I think it's because this locator selected. 00:19.320 --> 00:20.640 Everything's located under that. 00:20.640 --> 00:23.490 So it looks like we have geometry, like when we don't actually. 00:24.180 --> 00:25.770 So I'm going to dislike that. 00:26.130 --> 00:30.030 And with all these key none you can see our last key is on frame 20. 00:30.510 --> 00:33.870 So if we wanted to see this kind of loop, we would reduce it down here. 00:33.870 --> 00:39.450 But we know currently we only have one step and we need to duplicate this over to the other side. 00:39.450 --> 00:46.740 So because our animation ends on frame 20, we need to double that to frame 40 so we can just type 40 00:46.740 --> 00:47.370 in here. 00:48.060 --> 00:54.500 And now we can start to mirror these poses over onto the other side. 00:55.020 --> 01:03.360 So currently all the animation stops here, but we know we want this pose back at the end because we 01:03.360 --> 01:05.040 want this to loop one entire time. 01:05.370 --> 01:09.000 So for this to loop one entire time, we need to start with our right foot forward. 01:09.570 --> 01:15.060 And that goes and now it's back and now it needs to come back for it again, meaning it needs to be 01:15.060 --> 01:17.310 back in this pose that we have on frame one. 01:17.820 --> 01:22.830 So because we know that we can actually just middle mouse drag this frame, I'm just going to hold on 01:22.830 --> 01:27.260 middle mouse and drag it down to frame 40 and had a key frame there. 01:27.660 --> 01:31.650 So now when we're after frame 20, we can see this kind of slides back forward. 01:31.920 --> 01:37.230 So all we have left to do is add in this middle key frame here, which if we go into our graph editor, 01:37.230 --> 01:38.490 it might be easier to see. 01:38.880 --> 01:39.960 So it's spacebar. 01:39.960 --> 01:43.530 I get the four of you, which I don't want someone headspaces bargain over the perspective. 01:43.530 --> 01:48.270 You all hold down space bar and go to panels layouts. 01:49.080 --> 01:57.030 Oops, two panes stacked and then I'll choose this one to be the graph editor. 01:57.930 --> 02:00.140 I'll be a little easier to see these in betweens. 02:00.780 --> 02:03.390 I'm just going to go ahead and hit S on these as well. 02:03.390 --> 02:06.300 So we know, you know, this is kind of a landmark in between. 02:06.630 --> 02:10.410 And when I say in between, that's actually a technical animation term. 02:10.710 --> 02:16.830 In between are, you know, historically when you were drawing animation, you would have the key poses 02:16.830 --> 02:20.370 and have the key artist's key animators draw those poses. 02:20.370 --> 02:26.400 And then you'd hand those off to The Inbetweeners and those that was a whole position you were in between 02:26.400 --> 02:26.610 her. 02:26.910 --> 02:32.670 And when we're doing 3D animation, that is one person. 02:32.770 --> 02:36.900 You're doing everything, you're doing the keyframes and you're doing the in betweens. 02:37.260 --> 02:43.770 So we know this is an in between and it needs to match this in between, but with the other side. 02:44.130 --> 02:47.850 So let's first start by taking a look at the COAG. 02:48.930 --> 02:50.610 We can see that this is not the same. 02:50.610 --> 02:50.910 Right. 02:51.390 --> 02:57.000 We want this Y to be about the same as the other in between. 02:57.420 --> 03:02.130 And it looks like we have to translate X, but instead of going the same way. 03:02.160 --> 03:02.520 Right. 03:02.520 --> 03:05.250 We don't want to go over the foot that's off the ground. 03:05.250 --> 03:07.260 We want it to go the other way. 03:07.290 --> 03:09.000 And if we wanted to mirror it exactly. 03:09.000 --> 03:10.650 We need to take a look at this value. 03:10.650 --> 03:13.080 We can see this value in the graph at over here. 03:13.080 --> 03:14.880 So we have a negative one point one. 03:15.270 --> 03:18.210 So we could just click this and drag it up to one point one. 03:19.290 --> 03:22.290 And I'm just holding down shift and middle mouse dragging. 03:23.320 --> 03:27.880 So it's about in the neighborhood, so, you know, the center of gravity needs to go over the foot 03:27.880 --> 03:31.540 that's actually on the ground because that's where all the balance is going to go, right when we keep 03:31.540 --> 03:32.920 our weight over our feet. 03:32.920 --> 03:34.670 If not, we'll just fall over. 03:35.230 --> 03:38.230 OK, so now we need to pick up this foot. 03:38.920 --> 03:45.070 And if we look at frame 10, we can kind of see how this foot is picked up and we need to do the same 03:45.070 --> 03:50.770 thing for this other side so we can see there's some value here, which looks like it's rotating and 03:50.770 --> 03:53.160 it is about 45 degrees. 03:53.710 --> 03:59.230 So if we click this and we go to the in between we're working on now, we know we can go ahead and drag 03:59.230 --> 04:00.970 this to about 45 degrees. 04:02.200 --> 04:07.540 And if you know just what happens when I click this and dragged it, nothing really happened are not 04:07.540 --> 04:13.330 a lot happened, because if you look over here on the Y axis, you can see that we're working with very 04:13.330 --> 04:14.200 small values. 04:14.440 --> 04:21.130 So what I do is hold down shift command and Eirik right click and I can scale this down. 04:21.130 --> 04:22.990 You can see how these values change. 04:23.020 --> 04:24.610 So now it's a much bigger scale. 04:25.360 --> 04:30.910 So now when I click a move that's going to move a lot further and when I let go, I can see the values 04:30.910 --> 04:31.240 here. 04:31.270 --> 04:34.830 Twenty one and we're looking for something like forty five ish. 04:34.840 --> 04:35.710 That's close enough. 04:36.310 --> 04:39.940 And they can drag this up so that the toe is just off of the ground. 04:41.800 --> 04:46.600 And it's pretty close, and then we can make sure that this roll on this foot is all the way to zero 04:47.050 --> 04:49.120 square to the foot roll and at zero. 04:50.110 --> 04:57.640 And now let's play this back when it's baseball over this way and see it in full view here and a plain. 05:04.760 --> 05:11.170 So now we basically have a walk is very generic and there's a lot left to do on it. 05:11.180 --> 05:14.390 So in the rest of this course, I want us to polish this right. 05:15.080 --> 05:18.020 It doesn't take much to get to this stage of it. 05:18.560 --> 05:24.620 But really, you know, what separates a good animation from bad animation is that final 10 percent 05:24.620 --> 05:28.640 that usually takes, you know, not 10 percent of the time. 05:28.640 --> 05:32.420 It takes even more of the time proportionally. 05:32.420 --> 05:39.320 So meaning we're going to spend a lot more time to make this look way more polished than it currently 05:39.320 --> 05:39.800 is. 05:40.220 --> 05:45.980 And so in the next lesson, we'll continue to break this down into even further poses, because when 05:45.980 --> 05:47.390 we select this one, we look at it. 05:47.780 --> 05:53.330 You know, we only have basically four poses because we know this beginning and end pose as the same. 05:53.660 --> 05:56.010 If we click between them, we can see they're the same. 05:56.030 --> 05:56.890 So that's a cycle. 05:57.320 --> 06:03.680 And one other thing to keep in mind is we don't want to play the same frame twice currently while we're 06:03.680 --> 06:09.620 playing this back, we're going from this frame all the way through or playing this frame again, and 06:09.620 --> 06:10.760 then we're playing it again. 06:10.760 --> 06:11.160 Right. 06:11.540 --> 06:16.640 So if you actually want to loop this, we need to cut off that last frame because it's going to share 06:16.640 --> 06:18.140 the same frame as that. 06:18.560 --> 06:22.910 So when we play this back now, it should actually be a loop, like a proper loop. 06:22.910 --> 06:25.040 We're not going to have duplicate frames here. 06:25.340 --> 06:30.920 So you can already see when we start to analyze this, we have some new pops here at the back of this 06:30.920 --> 06:31.580 stride. 06:31.820 --> 06:33.530 I don't think we're getting it on the other side. 06:33.530 --> 06:36.830 So there might be some inconsistencies on how we mirrored it. 06:37.190 --> 06:41.610 We can evaluate that in the graph editor and as we further break things down in the next lessons. 06:41.990 --> 06:43.480 Thanks for watching and I'll see you there.
