[rexrapter335255]

[StatikStudios96]

Thankyou sooo much, i've needed to know how to do tjis for days now, really good tutuorial, made my first intro while wtchin

[nera789]

and like on 5:58, how do you move the screen so you can see it all? I left click and it kind of like draws a line and either rotates it or moves it...the cube, not the dotted screen.

[nera789]

is it like on the keyboard bc I don't see it...and is there a way to get to that window playback spot w/o numpad0 or something?

[nera789]

I know this is kinda a stupid question...but...

where is numpad0?

[BenPersonIsCool]

Do you know how to save it within blender? Like have 5 different animations IN blender so I can bind them with a key, like a reload animation, and then a running animation. Etc.

[Carlocap11]

[MrDrMIlk]

[computrnurd]

i love the new zealand accent

[racenuke]

Thank you! I just figured out you had to click "locrotscale" twice thanks to you! Great tutorial!

[emanuelcif]

tres bien, mon ami. Worked for me.

[pisceanza]

Thank you for the suggestion, I tried RGB but the "world" colors do not appear when I save the animation into a quicktime movie, I tried a lot of different things. It worked once when I tried do sequence and do composite and "sky" octree of 512, but I tried again and it didnt work, your help is really appreciated

[pisceanza]

Thank you for the tutorial, I am trying to save an animation which has a background (world) with a shade, I am unable to capture the colors of the world in my quicktime movie, why is that?

[hamsterhill]

@pisceanza is it comming out black and white? you probably changed the setting without realiseing... under where you changed the setting from jpeg too quicktime there are 3 buttons at the bottom that say BW,RBG and RGBA your's will be on bw =black and white... so change it too RGB ... rgba is if you want too have an invisible background but i don't think that works for quick times...

[11tyleragent11]

how would you make an orbit rotate around a center point. whenever i try it it just cuts right through the path

[TehOwenAnimations]

lol nice but i dont have numberpads so how to i get a camera view

[TehOwenAnimations]

nevermind i found a way

[serenok]

There's nothing in my curve editor?

[NoBull408]

THANKS!

[mrledfeb]

every time i save something in blender it overwrites everything else so when i open a different file the model pops up please can suggest why

[hamsterhill]

you mean when you press I to save a keyframe? you need to press side or up to move forward some more frames... if your problem is that your animations are saveing over eachother then once they are rendered move them to another folder and/ or change there name. you can give it a name before you render when you select what folder you render too.

[caives]

Thanks, man!

[Rayormy]

Thanks for teaching how to watch your renders

[manuelmacha]

Cool...thanks

[chenhuai2001]

thanks very much.I made my animation by your tutorial' s help.Now I have a question,If I save my animation to be a named" 1.avi",But how can I use it to my game engine in blender.I mean how can I open or show a movie?

[hamsterhill]

hmm... i'm not sure exaclty how to get it into the game engine.... your best bet wouldbe to research how to do animated textures in the game engine and see if there are any tutorials or anything out there

[1locationproductions]

i dont have the option to render as quicktime. How do i get that??

[hamsterhill]

sorry for the late reply... i have no idea why you don't have it... try re install the latest version of blender

[victoriyabaku]

thx very much.

[henkman00]

so if i want to make a plane fly in the distance this is how i do it.

[hamsterhill]

yup this is the basic way you would animate anything even bones for a character only you would do it in pose mode

[owchywawa]

Nice desktop picture. Must be the Hamsterhill.

[anncorz9]

Thank you very much! Very well done :)

[hamsterhill]

your most welcome.

[daynee3]

thx just what i needed

[xSpeedyxxx]

My wont work!

When I click anim.

a window pops up , but then another window (smaller) with an error: can not open the quicktime animation....

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

[hamsterhill]

hmmm... thats strange... because blenders so small maybe reinstall it... also maybe download the latest quicktime player aswell.. i think its free. that might fix it.

[xSpeedyxxx]

This is so enoying!

It won't stop!

I've tried several times...

But the latest Quicktime were can I find that? =)

[hamsterhill]

not sure maybe try surch it on google... you could also try change the output type from quicktime to something like avi codex or one of the other AVI types in the list.

[xSpeedyxxx]

It just worked! Thank you! I'm so happy!

But... of course when something is working, something else goes to hell:

Here is the problem: When I have made a character and want to add bones, I can't find them.... I know they are somewhere in the scene... but I can't see it...

CAN YOU HEP ME? (once again)

[hamsterhill]

ok first select your character and press "shift + s" and click center cursor to selection. then press space add armature. thats how you add them so that they are in the right place.

[xSpeedyxxx]

Ok, thank you so much!

Your the best!

[mzh3000]

thanks i made a sword that seemed to be stabing whoever was in front of te screen but couldent save it

[thevelorution]

THANK YOU!!!! I was working on a project and saving was the last step and I simply could not figure it out. Really well done to bro!

Ahhhhh! Thanks again man!

[hamsterhill]

your welcome dude, you shold also check out some of my other videos if you haven't already

[hammer1978video]

great video, i didn't know how to save my animation. thanks for the video

[hamsterhill]

yea thats the main reason i made it so people knew how to save there vids.

[archiaeinas]

is your background something you made from blender

[hamsterhill]

yup it was just a quick render i made.

[FXwhiz30]

Thank You so Fricking much!!!

[hamsterhill]

lol... your so fricken welcome. XD

[FXwhiz30]

Yeah, as a fello blender user, I'm sure you know how frustrating it is not knowing how to render out animations.

[Siegfried6669]

Thanks for your tutorial!

But how to give a name to the animation?

0001_0060 is not very useful :)

[hamsterhill]

well when you choose the directory you can ender a name for it in the box at the top just under the bit that has the file path. or you can render it and then goto the file right click and press rename (for windows anyway)

[Siegfried6669]

Thanks hamsterhill I don't know where I have the head, it is the samr that other 3d softwares.

I have made some node tests but it does'nt render. All change I'm doing with nodes don't render. How render nodes ?

Thanks again for your reply!

By the way, I'm new to Blender.

[McBainMwa]

thanks a lot! Big help ;)

[hamsterhill]
