[brainconnect]

Like it

Watch my vid there good

[SubzSaiyajin]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial man! Really helped :D

[Darsaan]

sheesh, give the guy a break. At least he was trying to be helpful and show noobs something. There's not that many people who would take time out to do that.

[MrEmeraldfusion]

Can anymore assist me in finding a rigging tutorial for the newer Blender 2.53? The point where I am having difficulty is moving the joints if anyone can help I would appreciate it thanks.

[kittiesization]

@MrEmeraldfusion Rather not.



[Blacklight288]

What I was thinking in the first 6 minutes: "GET ON WITH IT!" -Monty Python, Holy Grail.

[ciaranicrawford]

thats the worst gingerbread man ive ever seen, why are the eyes yellow?

[themooseatestuff]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[trex521981]

[segamed339]

When I move the right arm up the right leg moves up too. Any help?

[schackmountain]

maybe u have both in the same group?

[segamed339]

xD

Wow, I was stupid.

Thanks!!!! =3

[rjs9000]

I am sorry but that ginger bread man is crap, I could do better and I've only been using blender for a day!

[lllstrikesmember2]

i posted this in 2007 brah!.. this is old ahaha

[rjs9000]

@lllstrikesmember2 Well I don't scroll down that far, but yeh, maybe I didn't realise the previous post was two months old.

[frisovn]

you're really bad in moving the camera...

[cahman44]

you sound stoned

[Destrukto33]

Is this working in the Ge?

[blackmoondevil666]

when I move my hand the foot is moving too .

I know you told a thing about that but i didn't understand

[BringerOfTheTruth]

I can seriously not see what buttons you are pressing..the movie is in a very bad quality

[coolorstoo]

i finnaly fixed my headphones then u ome along and decide to speed it up with your loud music and make me fall off the chair and once more break the headphones

[sakitakono]

my arm is not waving, but is just moving up and down in whole.

[killedGeorgeshrink]

(1:07) That was the camera? Dang it!

[gliese581d]

I think people who swear on youtube should be reported .

This kid was extremely helpful !

[antkingjr]

what version is he using

[lllstrikesmember2]

i was using the old 2.44

[Xalien2002]

@lllstrikesmember2 i use 2.44 to because it won't upgrade to 2.55 or 2.48

[dessert10000]

why wan i move my arm my leg move to ? ;(

[YvesWheeler]

You spend 10 minutes babbling about crap not related to animation.

[soccerkratos]

and besides this is still a very helppful tutorial modeling coloring armatures and animation in one thing WOW ITS AMAZING thx for the help!!!!

[hoonathan]

u suck asss at making tutorials! u should just stop! u make no sense what so ever

[lllstrikesmember2]

hahaha dude look at the date this was posted idiot... i was small when i did this.. man before you comment check the status of what exactly yoou will be stating

[hoonathan]

ohh ya! a year! wow thats cool! A YEAR AGO! YOU DUMB FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its only 2009! i kno for a fact u havent matured that much

[lllstrikesmember2]

dude watch my composite tutorial

[PuddingchanFTW]

You know you could've just hit fn + numlk to activate the num pad on your laptop. :D

Anyway thanks for teh tut~

[mzh3000]

hey i downloaded some 3d models of game charecters and if you look at them theyr realy pieces assembaled and can be takenapart how would i make joints if the arms and hands and evrything arent realy joined

[Grrrachel72]

oh and another thing... when doing "I" locrot, is that setting the location for just the 1 selected armature? is this the best way to move multiple parts of the body at the same time (like for walking or moving around)? GREAT tutorial BTW!!! super helpful!! i was up till 4am playing around with this :) good stuff!!!!!!

[Grrrachel72]

i rendered my man and the animation worked perfectly. i had 61 frames but my vid only cane out to 2 seconds of animation. my question is why was the makers clip around 6 seconds and mine was only 2... i went through and did it again with a simple man i made, and again with 61 frames it came to aprox. 2 seconds of vid... any ideas???

[mightybalto1925]

I need help. I add the bones but, how do I make the model move? I'm useing 2.5.2

[Tazy50]

you need to to object mode and then highlight everything by presing the a key and then press Ctrl+p and then click armature nd then create from bone heat and then right click on an armature and change object mode to pose mode and there

[davifoueira]

dude nice work, thanks a lot, i´m a newbie but it was straight through...

Besides the part where i run the house telling i´ve made my first animation is hilarious!!!

Nice!

[Enthropomorphia]

DUDE YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you sohoho much for this neat tutorial! =D

[funnyguy3452]

what the hell was that on 22:30?!?!?

[adrianmarti]

At 06:18 did you say "Prick?" LOL!

[lllstrikesmember2]

i dont think so XD

[yairoka]

watch my water fluid noob animation hehe :D

[sawdaw123]

Thank you very much for this .

You teached me very well :D

5*

[lllstrikesmember2]

nooo prob!!!

[Brightag123]

hey. when i try to move an arm the bone just moves out. what should i do?

[heydefinition]

had this problem, too. i think you have to make sure the bones and the object are in one group

...don't really know but try it

[BaronOfHell666]

Hey thanks for this. This really helped me a lot.

[lllstrikesmember2]

noooo prrrrrroooobbbb

[jimbo222000]

U sound kinda sleepy

[lllstrikesmember2]

i dont now what was up with me then....

my voice is alot diffrent!!

[jailbreaker206]

when i opened my tmp file, there were only jpegs of my animation. what did i do wrong??

[lllstrikesmember2]

i didnt change the save option to AVI

[BlakeSkateMagic]

hey i dont know if you know this but if you press the R key twice you can free rotate try it

[MaxFein232]

omg ur voice.... -.-

[lllstrikesmember2]

what about it?

[activeellis]

He thinks it is sleepy no offence

[musrking21]

how u get past 10min rule>?

[lllstrikesmember2]

i am a Director

youtube gave me the privaledge

[OnyxLeo]

Question: I finished making the bones but now I can't select the skin! What do I do?

[thesecondcomin14]

i cant select the bone at like 9:00

[thesecondcomin14]

ok i fixed this problem but now whe i use the g button to move the hand only the front moves of the arm move and the back sticks in place and when i use the shoulders they shoot out mad far

[davidsaso1234]

u have to left click on an empty space and use dat as a axis to control the movement... the distance between the armature and the circle dat appears is what matters... use dis as a lever and ull get wut im saying tell me if this helped or not

[thesecondcomin14]

yeah it helped thnxs

[davidsaso1234]

just started my own tuts check em out and hope those also help u and dont forget 2 subscribe lol

[kurtrulez]

*runs through the house*

Yeah, I made and animation!

Thanks. Very well tutorial. My gingerbread guy's left arms a bit off though.

[BlakeSkateMagic]

wheres the middle mouse button on a laptop

[davidsaso1234]

U can still use numpad if ur using a laptop and u dont have 2 buy one u have 2 press fn and hold then scrooll where numlock is in a box

[RaptorIV]

ctrl+alt+num0 will place the camera where you are looking (just so you dont have to spend two minutes positioning it :P)

[kamikazewatermelonp]

besides, the whole point of the blender UI is that you rarely need to use the menus. LEARN THE DAMN HOTKEYS.

and a skilled 3d artist can think of INTUITIVE ways to acheive his goal. until you can think of a smart way to show people this, stick with WATCHING the tutorials.

[lllstrikesmember2]

oh h aha ha dude this was added May 29 2007

lol im alot more experienced now

lol

[jjdominican]

thx it would b awesome if you would post some more tutorial. this tutorial helped me a lot. i am tire of pivot (^_^)

[kamikazewatermelonp]

holy shit you fuckin retard you spent like 10 minute arranging the fuckin camera!!!!! that just goes to show how much of a moron you are and how unqualified you are to make a tutorial.

[perferstrategy]

I did everything right even from the bones and guess what when i move the bone up my arms dont go up whats going on here?Help plzz

[deej397]

That happend to me too but i figured out how to fix it. all you do is assign it and then select.

assign is over select for when you do the bone installation

[ph4tal]

where would it be saved if  your using a mac?

[mrps21994]

i think i did it wrong, whenever i move him, the bones don't move with it. Know where I went wrong??

[h4x03rs]

have you seen Blender Tutorial Gingerbread pt. 3 (bones) ? he tells how you do there

[nestor5500]

a les adelanto, me parece es q el problema es justamente el nombre q le puse al archivo (tipo "bicho (paisaje3. checho).blend".

me parece q, JUSTAMENTE es ese PUNTO despues de "paisaje3" lo q me jodio. por favor me pueden decir q puedo hacer para arreglarlo?

[nestor5500]

... no se... desde ahi no puedo abrir mas NINGUN ARCHIVO BLENDER. ya prove instalarlo, desinstalarlo y reiniciar la computadora repetidas veces. por favor, alguien me puede decir q hacer para arreglarlo?

[nestor5500]

hola tengo un problema bastante importante en el blender escuchen pq les puede servir; escuchen; RESULTA, q estaba trankilamente usandolo cuando de repente quise guardar mi archivo y le puse un nombre como "bicho (paisaje15. checho).blen". desde ahi... NO ME ANDA MAS BLENDER (sigo en el sig. comentario...)

[JayJayKeats]

If you want an easier way to position the camera, just press View, Camera, and shift+F . It will make it so that wherever you move the mouse, the camera goes.

[blackvan94]

how do you save it to a video and how do you make a background

[imbowen]

OMG ITS IN ONE OF THE TUTORIALS

[lllstrikesmember2]

follow the whole tut before you ask Q's

cuz i teach you how to save it

[musrking21]

yo how u get past the 10min rule?

[rejoycement]

lol when u did 3 times fast it was the same speed mine was going, and i did 80 frames

[imbowen]

i took your gingerbred tutorial but then i tryed to make my own with a full body skelton so this is what i came up with WATCH MY VIDEO

[imbowen]

ok so i just made another one but it seems like my skins are connected to the spot where i built them and i cant get the skin to stay around the bone HELP ME

[Skomakarn]

Are you on drugs? You sound so stoned.

[jbeckneisdnet]

Hello there,

I've been working through your tutorials now for the last 2 hours and I am really impressed. Very good work, and funny too!

(Do you know anything about motion capture?)

[Molly7788]

Thx man

[r2eb11]

this is great thnx for this tutorial thnx a lot ^^ i hope everyone inspired 4 this tutorial thnx a lot

[HAZARDROFLS]

Need halpz. How do you increase length of frames, so instead of having a 2 second animation, I would have like.. an 8 second animation. WITHOUT ADDING MORE FRAMES.

[xGreeny831]

ive done the arms like u say and then i tried to do the legs the same way but it didnt work. once ive done the legs the arms dont work and then i do the arms again and the legs dont work. can u help?

[HAZARDROFLS]

Greeny, once you have both sets of armatures set in, select the body, thend left click on all of the armatuers, and THEN, do the ctrl+p and make parent>armature>closest bones. =]

[Zyklowa]

you could just delete the camera go to front view add a new camera and pull it back a little

[phnxrzn2007]

SHIFT + ZERO makes the camera match the perspective view ... that's the easiest way to align the camera ... nice tutorials

[cylus]

you speak a lot but not about the tutorial.

[ZachLOVESAubrey]

Ok.. Hey man great tut. I did everything u told me only had a couple problems, but nothing big. When i did the file thing with AVI Raw, i cant do anything. I whent to tmp folder and it wasnt there, so i whent to where i saved it and it was there, just not a movie/video file that i could play. Idk what to do so i can watch it without opening blender :( . is there something else that i can save it as? I have Windows and my pc is a hp Pavilion mx75.

[JustinaCorp]

how do you post it on the internet?

[super3boy]

Check out my tutorials. There are way better than these.

[lllstrikesmember2]

HAY EVERY 1 i have done a few prank calls but there on my friends account  go check them out

click on my name and ull see my featured video is 1 of the prank calls and if u want to see more than just click on the name thats under that thnks

[CITGProductions]

dont use a voice editing program please.

[mrchriss]

sorry for two posts, but should his bones be seen if its out of the body? or is it invisible?

[jamietom]

the bone is invisible... its called armature..

[mrchriss]

hehe :) Very nice tutorials! ive watched everyone! love it =)

I know one thing, thats when you move the arm, you couldnt move it forward and backward. Just use the Green arrow. =) and same for up and down and so on with the other colored arrows =)

[ashleighyates]

A very good tutorial I only had one problem, you speaking is sometimes not very clear even on maximum volume. Keep up the good work.

[Finnamorej]

I have a mac and did every thing you said to do but what am I supposed to watch my animation on?

[2597030]

Can you find out how to make naruto with the same blender used here!

[Zibbe2k]

I have found a special site only for such tutorials. Everyone is welcome to post his own tutorials. Look at:

My-Tutorial dot com

[PureT3x4n]

tyvm this helped me sooo much and ur tut was clear and very helpful...5 stars

[KJoe666]

So I have done everything that you said to do and yet when I move the "bone" the whole bone moves up. What could it be?

[the7animator]

thank you very much for the upload,

i watched all it took hours to make, but it was really detailed with very few mess ups that really awesum!

i would upload my gingerbread man waving,

but i cant find the video atm (mac)

but thanks again so much

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxx

[orochikun]

Man hooo man

YOU RACK THE CASH-BAR

I did my 1st animation!!!

I just could not changed the buttons and the eyes colors  couls not make a dif material for each one, so only the Ginger man changed colors :( could you explain this... preatty please

[lllstrikesmember2]

yes you have to add diffrent exstentions to diffrent materials like right click on an eye (for example) and go to the color tab and click LINK TO MATERIAL or summthin like that and then you can change the colors

[warmwaddle]

You rock! Just made a video response...

[tommyogchristian]

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

[Inuyashakagome333]

I like you're music. What bands/songs do you use?

[shardik132]

mumbling -_-'' but i like your tutorial

[holyfire001202]

lol ur mumbly hahaha

[shaman2007]

you can play the animation in BLENDER just press PLAY below ANIM a new window will appear and just watch it then

[lllstrikesmember2]

TRUE thats a good tip thnx

[stijnschoor]

I have a Mac, so I know that AVI doesn't work. If I select Quicktime I see nothing, can someone help me please?

[alovision]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

[lllstrikesmember2]

NO PROB!!!!!!!!! :)

[Lozoot64]

Is there any wa you can teach how to do a good looking walk cycle? I animate the legs and everything, but don't feel like animating him hundreds of times. Is there a way to loop his walk cycle?

[lllstrikesmember2]

yeah there is a flip option that definatly helps maybe i make a tut

[shaman2007]

that's not the best way but listen:In action windows select all your keys and select the KEY menu(it's near View Select etc.)Select Extend mode>Cyclic(if it doesn't work Cyclic Extrapolation. If both don't work i can't really help...

[Lozoot64]

These tutorials are the greatest. Us noobs really appreciate your detailed explanations. Im learning faster than ever. Keep up the good work. 5 stars!

[holyfire001202]

im with lozoot

[lllstrikesmember2]

ha ha well thnks

[lllstrikesmember2]

thnks and yeah i hate people that make tuts and dont explain

[Seibai32390]

I gotta thank you man. I often suck learning things on my own and I was hoping to find a good Tut for Blender. You just saved me a whole lot of trouble and I'm really grateful. After this finishes rendering, I'm gonna go do the rest of your tuts and the whole 3-Strikes crew.

[lllstrikesmember2]

hay man i was in the same position as u

thats why i make tutorials for people so they can start off with a realy good start

[admre]

This really helped me. Just a few things I don't understand. When you right click something it highlights it. When I do it nothing happens. Strange...but at least I got my model to move. Thanks.

[lllstrikesmember2]

hm that is strange no prob

[calebpiercy]

its much easier to center the man in the viewport then press ctrl alt numpad0 or select view > align view > align active camera to view.

[TinyNosar]

i'm stuck at 6:25

when i go 2 render, i cant see the dude its just blue

help please :)

[lllstrikesmember2]

ok make sure you have a lamp you can add 1 by using the spacebar and

add then lamp and also make sure he is not blue tell me if this helped o and make sure there is a camera and make sure he is on top

and the camera is facing him

[sw4dmin]

how would you animate him bending at the waist?

ive tried to select the body and rotate it but the eyes and the armatures dont move with him.

oh and i uploaded a couple videos of my animations, you can check them out too.

nice tutorial.

[halo2gamer16]

yea thanks for the tutorial it really helped now i just need to remember all the things you said

[lllstrikesmember2]

thats why you can watch this video over and over if you like

[MisadventureFilms]

first of all what you need to do is when you want 2 poses that are the same ( like the first and last pose) then set them first press I at frame 1 then I at frame 60 or what ever it saves time and is more accurate then scroll to the midlle frame and do the middle pose I and another thing is to go into the Animation tab rather then the model tab and open a new scene full copy but lol i didnt know i knew that much about blender

[Dodarios]

please look at my vid - its uploaded... tell me wat ut hink

[lllstrikesmember2]

i love it

u did a good job!

[Dodarios]

Thank you very much. This is the best animation I have ever made and it's all thanks to you! Thank you so much!

[lllstrikesmember2]

well your welcome :)

[LineriderPhilip]

hey thanks for the tutorial, i got it all done as you said, exept that i screwed up the animation with the shoulders :S, but thank you, im still a newb at this but your making me better with your vids all the time :)

[lllstrikesmember2]

sure dude just amke sure you post your vid you make so i can be proud of my padawans and dont worry if its not good i will still enjoy it

[lllstrikesmember2]

hay greek follow the tutorial i show you how i go into render settings and i make the setings AVI RAW and then i render and then i go to MY COMPUTER then C drive then TMP folder man just follow the tut

[lllstrikesmember2]

i think my friend wrote that im sorry my friend is mean

[GreekHero13]

how do you watch it after rendering it

[pokiri446]

5 stars from me i wish you were my maths teacher

[lllstrikesmember2]

ha ha i suck at math :/

[Crablogger]

[havegum]
