WEBVTT 00:01.440 --> 00:06.840 So in this lesson, let's make some offsets so that it doesn't look as robotic, because right now, 00:07.350 --> 00:12.390 each time the foot hits the ground, the arm is that it's kind of furthest extreme. 00:12.660 --> 00:14.850 And we don't have a ton of breakdowns yet for the arm. 00:14.850 --> 00:17.070 So we can do the ladies. 00:17.070 --> 00:24.990 We can also, again, every time I look at this, these frickin knee pops annoy me. 00:26.580 --> 00:31.770 So there's probably not going to be a time where I'm ever, like, so super satisfied with the animation 00:31.770 --> 00:34.230 that I'm not going to, like, see something that I'm going to want to fix. 00:35.460 --> 00:37.240 And that's animation for you. 00:38.340 --> 00:38.850 So. 00:45.490 --> 00:54.220 We do the same thing here because that knee pop is it's happening at the back of this stride, just 00:54.220 --> 00:59.080 like the other one should start to bend there and stay forward. 00:59.950 --> 01:02.920 So let's maybe do a linear here. 01:03.550 --> 01:04.430 See, that doesn't help. 01:04.450 --> 01:10.570 I think that's maybe what was messing it up is that it was kind of easing into the foot roll. 01:12.930 --> 01:14.670 And it should kind of bounce out of it. 01:15.420 --> 01:17.450 I think that's maybe the issue here as well. 01:17.970 --> 01:25.130 So let's go down to the foot roll, isolate that and let's make that be linear and this won't be linear. 01:26.400 --> 01:28.350 And now let's play those back as well. 01:31.800 --> 01:32.170 Cool. 01:32.850 --> 01:38.630 I think we can maybe carry these roles through just a little bit here. 01:41.910 --> 01:42.690 But wrong one. 01:45.510 --> 01:51.990 Now, we don't have a we don't have a breakdown here, so we can just make one ourselves and just delay 01:51.990 --> 01:52.320 that. 01:55.240 --> 01:56.440 Foot roll a little bit. 02:07.500 --> 02:13.700 The same thing for this side when it gets back to this end, we don't want to just totally bounce off, 02:14.320 --> 02:15.790 so let's bring this one down. 02:25.790 --> 02:32.180 So, again, let's look at the upper body, we can make offsets here now, so let's think about what 02:32.180 --> 02:35.510 we're doing when this arm is coming forward. 02:35.520 --> 02:38.210 We I think we should still have it coming forward a little bit. 02:38.600 --> 02:43.040 The arm should kind of be a little bit behind the lower body. 02:43.050 --> 02:50.330 So let's bring this arm forward more and rotate that and maybe bring it in towards the body a little 02:50.330 --> 02:50.590 bit. 02:51.170 --> 02:54.340 And for this one, maybe let's bring the arm back. 02:54.360 --> 02:56.030 So delay it going forward. 02:56.240 --> 02:59.150 I'm going to middle mouse, drag that to the last frame as well. 02:59.600 --> 03:07.190 So now we have the arm kind of continuing forward after the foot lands. 03:07.640 --> 03:11.240 And I think it's going maybe a little too far and fast. 03:11.720 --> 03:17.490 And one thing I like to do, if that's the case, is just middle mouse drag from a frame above it are 03:17.540 --> 03:18.200 like ahead of it. 03:18.620 --> 03:22.100 And so I know it's going to take that's a smaller value. 03:24.680 --> 03:34.550 And again, because this is a cycle, we need to make these tangents a spline tangent. 03:36.580 --> 03:37.040 OK. 03:40.650 --> 03:47.520 And when you do the same thing on the back side, right, that the kind of swing should happen after 03:47.520 --> 03:49.020 the foot is taken off here. 03:49.480 --> 03:53.730 So let's bring that back and then let's go to frame 20 and bring this for just a touch. 03:56.100 --> 03:59.790 And we can always, you know, get the fingers and hands in a better spot. 04:02.210 --> 04:07.050 But even just that offset makes that feel a little bit better now, right? 04:07.370 --> 04:11.960 And the last thing I would say is this is kind of far out to the side. 04:12.260 --> 04:19.310 It's going to translate X, just bring that back, see if the we need to bring that way back in. 04:19.760 --> 04:22.970 And it's just getting too far from the body, from the body there. 04:23.700 --> 04:26.300 Even just grab all this stuff and bring it in. 04:27.440 --> 04:29.270 Something that needs to be that far away from the body. 04:34.790 --> 04:39.860 So you can see just what that a little bit of offset does, because we've done this this hand, but 04:39.860 --> 04:44.330 not the other hand, so it just kind of prevents it from looking too robotic. 04:45.710 --> 04:49.490 Right, and the other thing we can do is kind of loosen up the shoulders, let's get the shoulders involved, 04:49.800 --> 04:54.790 so let's sort of keyframe here and on 20 and see what we need to do. 04:57.000 --> 04:58.350 Let's have the shoulders lead. 04:59.310 --> 05:07.680 The shoulders are already coming back on in between breakdown on frame 10 and they'll start to go forward 05:07.680 --> 05:09.210 as the hand is still going back. 05:09.810 --> 05:18.330 And then on frame 30, they'll be forward kind of leading the hand and then on frame 40, we'll just 05:18.330 --> 05:19.080 copy that. 05:19.890 --> 05:25.950 And we will probably need to make these spline again, since it's a cycle, as we have learned over 05:25.950 --> 05:26.530 and over again. 05:27.180 --> 05:33.840 So now the shoulder is getting involved a little bit and I think the hand is maybe going a little fast 05:33.840 --> 05:35.150 towards the end back here. 05:35.700 --> 05:40.380 So, again, I'm just going to middle mouse drag something in front of it so I can watch it happen in 05:40.380 --> 05:41.130 the graph better. 05:41.130 --> 05:45.930 So I'm grabbing like frame 23, middle mouse trying at twenty five and it should just reduce and kind 05:45.930 --> 05:52.350 of, you know, calm down those values and see them kind of bounce to something a little more reasonable. 05:57.470 --> 06:01.580 So, again, it's maybe looking a little fast, we can just do that again, bring frame 23 and bring 06:01.580 --> 06:05.450 it down frame 23, bring it down until we kind of get what we like. 06:11.760 --> 06:19.230 I think the same thing is happening here, so we just bring that back and, you know, with a walk, 06:19.710 --> 06:20.900 again, it's very subtle. 06:20.910 --> 06:23.780 It's not like these offsets have to be very huge. 06:25.170 --> 06:33.060 And again, I think the spine is maybe still too big so we can go to the rotate Zeze here and then we 06:33.060 --> 06:40.610 can middle mouse drag with our bring those down just to touch, you know, again, with with a walk 06:40.620 --> 06:42.570 in general, you're not making a huge effort. 06:42.580 --> 06:45.480 So all these changes don't have to be massive. 06:45.480 --> 06:45.870 Right. 06:48.030 --> 06:52.290 And I think I'm going to incorporate the Rotate Z here. 06:52.290 --> 06:59.070 So I'd like to isolate that and kind of see what we're actually doing here when we're rotating it back. 06:59.070 --> 07:00.210 It should be down. 07:01.920 --> 07:02.640 Let's see. 07:04.460 --> 07:09.120 This should be down here, see if that's down, yeah, this one's down. 07:09.140 --> 07:10.190 So let's bring this down. 07:12.410 --> 07:12.650 Oops. 07:19.290 --> 07:29.430 And then when it's coming forward, it should be up here and maybe down again, there are starting to 07:29.430 --> 07:29.990 go down. 07:31.500 --> 07:38.400 So, you know, in general, I think this is a decent spot and make those be spline. 07:44.000 --> 07:48.710 So you kind of see the shoulder working a lot better, you can hopefully see that on your monitor like 07:48.980 --> 07:50.360 that, a little bit of difference. 07:51.470 --> 07:54.460 Just getting the shoulder incorporated loosens everything up. 07:54.830 --> 08:02.420 Even with a simple rig like this, it makes a huge, huge difference and maybe is too much right now. 08:02.420 --> 08:04.310 But it kind of proves the point of just. 08:05.830 --> 08:13.480 It looks so much better to have that shoulder involved than than not, so I'm going to grab everything 08:13.480 --> 08:19.860 and again scale everything down to the zero value here just to make it maybe not as obvious. 08:20.110 --> 08:25.480 One thing I like to do when I'm animating is, you know, go big, make big changes, and then you can 08:25.480 --> 08:31.380 always scale it back, know you're not married to any of these so you can make them work for you. 08:34.170 --> 08:39.930 I don't like this POV, we look in this angle, you can see this left knee pop right there. 08:45.410 --> 08:51.610 And I think it's sad that we did the linear thing here and we left it that way. 08:55.830 --> 08:56.370 So. 09:02.400 --> 09:04.730 Anyway, you get the idea. 09:08.220 --> 09:12.060 So I think the other thing that maybe is too much is the side to side motion. 09:12.270 --> 09:17.730 Now that we have the upper body involved, we can go to translate X and we can bring this back down 09:17.730 --> 09:18.210 as well. 09:18.540 --> 09:23.160 She's going to delete these key frames that we don't need here. 09:25.470 --> 09:27.600 And I'm going to grab these extremes. 09:27.600 --> 09:33.600 I'm going to bring them and scale them back down to zero hour towards zero, not all the way, maybe 09:33.600 --> 09:34.700 half of what they were. 09:35.670 --> 09:40.320 And this is where you start to really massage your animations, right? 09:42.480 --> 09:44.820 Nothing is going to be perfect the first time you try it. 09:45.780 --> 09:49.350 And so you need to be patient. 09:50.880 --> 09:53.460 Animation has a lot to do with patients. 09:53.910 --> 09:58.830 So in the next lesson, we're going to kind of finish this up. 09:59.310 --> 10:04.130 And I would encourage you to do this other arm, set the offsets on the other arm. 10:04.130 --> 10:07.830 I'm not going to spend the time this lesson to do that and do this other shoulder. 10:08.160 --> 10:11.100 And we're really getting in a pretty good spot with this. 10:12.390 --> 10:17.550 I would go ahead and pose out the fingers as well to make them be in a more relaxed position. 10:17.970 --> 10:23.700 And in the next lesson, we will maybe get a little head Bob going and a little more motion in the spine, 10:23.700 --> 10:24.360 possibly. 10:24.750 --> 10:27.540 But yeah, this is looking pretty good seeing the next lesson.
