hello everybody this is joe mcpeak we're true bones dot com
and today we sure yet how do you see are quite
video recorder
so just open your uh...
trimmer connects answer
in turn on your i've tried to recorder
and you'll see that needs to
determine
the background in the four so
before we do that um... suggest using eight vibrating
uh...
sensor
so in order to vibrate aside for you just
indeed what that does is it eliminates interference
indicates written more about
so
as you hear it's on lowell home and then just hit background
now it won't matter of the distances to the floor space handbag walt distance
so to speak valuating
and make sure nothing is moving
while this is evaluating
so the valuation is finished
now you can record what is called
uh... purple movie
uh... uses a new square pixel with color compression
so the movies this generates are ten times smaller
so it sounds like great again and uh...
amanda record a small
uh... motion capture of
a sort
so if you can use a prop
and what you list
here
it all
uh... wanted soldiers
or
and you want to get mighty your body possible self
hahaha
so
act
uh... and
attn propped up
so
that work
yes
official here's financially don't camera
here
or
and
being him
yeltsin
uh...
what
act
used
added engineers connection
sc
soul
it's
sold
castration
okay so we recorded at the start button
and you'll see that
it is only eight hundred megabytes p
usually if i like that would be about uh...
sixty two bites so it's about ten times smaller now
um... you can then
watch the movie by pressing the play button
and you can even hide background
to see all the cool dot
there's not many dots because we've i've graded so let me show you this
see that
there's actually last green dots and before we buy breeds a sense
so me interesting to see
how well this comes out
so there you go three recorded
and we can now put this in the uh...
new version of i'd try to
and here we go up to that
you just drag and drop the newly made movie
into the window
when we continue
and then wall
set-up or seen say that
so just set your star point
quickly click these boxes and
make your own point
the same thing
right about here is where you wanna save it
a-sixes stored
nominate showing you how to make a complete animation
complete with props and he ended animation and fingers and everything
so what you want to do is you want to set that mary's uh... refit pose
i background
change background color
k
now you wanna set both your hands to fists
so just turn that off and dot
this is pretty easy to do disco rotate
like that
that joint right
actually
the first thing
uh... stood second finger
second finger
and you just simply put these in office position
so really easy
years ago
this one
what's what's
access
i'd keep it on blue line
same here
so here he has a close ten position for his sword
organs sort too much
so you can also uh... slightly adjust these drawings
may come a little bit more
it's really easy
so these
finger positions will hold their values
i'm every frame
that's why
this is a much better system minsky frameless
and uh... it's really
uh...
a new paradigm
of animation
as you'll see
so let's go over there and do that one
discomforts
turned and i mean there is it's if it's grasping the sorts stock
and
we'll see
checked out
it will hold that position three
okay so you can even change these positions throughout your whole
animation
it's really
oh writing
so there you go
and
we are now when i started on track backwards why track backwards while
because right
and started at the beginning at one
see how when i get paste uh... that
uh... hands this stuff
so but
because we know what we're doing we're gonna i do it backwards
soaked discovered this last frame and hit track backwards
now if you would be able to tap you'll see
that art dept recording all also
i want you to set the next see how it turns orange
over and set that net angle
uh... and had angle little bit
cree animation
so that means it'll work it out in that general
uh... position throughout the whole animations and with the fingers
so here we go track backwards
and it is telling us folks that uh... so i'm going to be
fifteen minutes for this complete animation to be rendered out offices
marker list motion capture
and it generates bones for animations
so it makes animating very very easy and in fact
quite fine
so uh...
i will see you in about
two seconds when this is all render al
and i'll show you how we put on a character that has
attachments a sword and shield can show you that the uh... sort patient
will come out perfectly
ones sector
so now bolts attracting a is finished analyst show you how complete
distinguishing came out
in fact we won't even have to put it in motion finished
we're just going to simply uh...
animator here
using what's called the mcpeak
technique
so let me hide the background
and we're gonna set this up for head trekking
and the goal turning quickly do the hands
uh... all of this
should only take about
uh...
maybe five minutes
so in order to set up for the head tracking just go press camera one turn
off your dept attn
turn up the uh...
video background a little bit
so you're going to use your background reference and always remember this point
this intersection that's reading green
that's where the fort gazes as far as that decision
so
here we go
we're gonna make the head track
uh... as you see all i'm doing his
holding down the mouse
interns
uh... you can't hold it down and he's one of those
uh...
courtney's
so
another way you can do it
is to turn this up a little bit or just completely turned off
we all have references but here we go
showing you how easy it is to animate
the head position
uh... once you get going
very very circumspect testament rakhi
so you can even will and
see that now remember
green red is the forward
position of the head so
just always keep an eye on that and then use your video as a reference
okay so here we go
continuing
now another thing that could help you
is to use it they uh...
kharghar
so we will bring in a target character just to assist us
with the uh... had positioning throughout
so throughout the city
turn off the depth and then turn off the skin
nine c we have to
uh... characters to assist us with their animation
once they had position
and the others are richer are amin
when it is an avatar
and one is an armature
armature transfers the motion
to the avatar
as you see we now have a better
visual reference point for animations
experts back-and-forth
texas uh... feedback
sold
would you be comfortable with this you'll find your make
much better complete animations very quickly
as you see here
this will indeed include
uh...
sort props
and inch
and image
uh... i'm utilizing what is called nikki ke frameless technique
in this is because it doesn't use any interpolation ds
in fact i am placing a position value
i'm every single frame of the animation which makes it
uh... very continuous
i know you're looking at the head right now going its very security but in the
end it all comes out super smooth
so in fact i can just show you that very quickly
seahawks moves out
ok sam discontinue are left off with that
and it looks like
mock
there
so just remember that dream
red intersections
is where the heck is looking
direction general direction
on you don't have to wear but ideas we're going to do that in a separate
program
uh... that's called spacio
here we're just doing the total body politic nations
uh... without even going into motion but before that you have to when emotion
builder to do the head and hands
out here you don't have to
heights whatever position you set like if you've set the speedy
it'll stay there
if you only make it warms the household name
um...
so let me finish
uh... this had information real quick
strived relief act
just using the the background
video as the reference to wear
uh... the bridge in my nose is
in there and that's where the intersection go
we'll just continues through keep an eye on that intersection
sort coming through my tickets turn
uh... district
again
okay
yes
hansen
pretty much just what i wanted
in dom i don't have to worry about it this is going to come up smoothing out
it's going to come out very smooth
uh... once it's all smoothed out in the accurate that i can perform many
realtime operations on it
interim get into that in the next door
case i'm just checking
okay whoops
so as long as you keep though arm
milestone or
it'll simply transfer over top of the existing animation channel
and dumped it makes for perfect
perfect synchronize uh... animation that's continuous and fluid
so i think you'll like it
so here at this park going to
were
start outward next appointment just moved backwards like this
healed walls clients
decent
that's faster than even if it was
automatic
uh... tracking this is called the mickey technique
and it's a new key frame in vain dorky frameless
in sync
that hopefully will become very popular
intimation industry
so as you see
uh...
week outside
pretty well hi lookin
uh... better
with this right here just
and
tour
located so starting
and all that shit move up those wild
and
right
absolutely no problem fix anyway
just mako
go through the backwards like this
um... this is in fact just like
tracking
but better because you have the precise control
and that ticular channel
so
spectacles expert
great folks so as you see im moving right through
uh... estimation and that ministry a product
real fast did you see that
legislated down like butter watch
mhm
it all
movements on every key
so uh... i suggest you employees in this new technique
so a lot faster
so a lot faster than traditional ke framing keep framing uses what's called
interpolation
and there's no interpolation required
which makes them more fluent
inconsistent
workflow
for than artist
uh...
which is really
critical
when creating animation because it's uh... stressful
occupation
your tedious very
stressful
so anything you can do to make
in animators job easier
the wonderful thing
so here we go uh... assure you we have
for movement on that michelle
uh... sequence
now the reason our avatars hands are closest 'cause we didn't
assignment to the fingers here
but we don't have to we were just working on the head motion
so we're going to do is now i'd so late this motion
as one full complete motion
and then i'm going to run the smoothing on it
and straight years for
or two
in hit apply
okay folks so i just moved into all-out and let's check it out uh...
it's uh... it
and then i will reopen it so there's no avatar
here's our seniors are movie
uh...
now i'll show you
and that this information is pretty much complete
um...
we can add some hand uh... in their relief easy just go height background
um...
for some reason uh... tobacco got mixed in their window
it's because i was vibrating camera
yeah that's it
so
that's fine uh... all you have to do uses people emphasis
uh... here turn off
look through cameramen choose to hear
put it on rotate
and you'll see grabs your attention
so just go through here and it kinda
offset it you can see
and just make the hand
and
like it is in the movie
pretty easy
now i have the hand
like it's supposed to be and i just hold that position throughout
uh... word
as you see
it's gonna be release movement
some this movement through and keeping
story work should be
it's really easy folks
it's uh...
actually
easier than tracking
faster and it also gives your own
personal touch
which is uh...
with are still best
so i hope you tried to sell folks it's really good for uh... character artists
animators
and dean's deos
him
karate sports
uh...
videogames machinima films
animation
course in uh... many more
so there you see anything
adding all that like watch this when you hold it down and then
edit all that
you know that was the wrong angle
uh... here
just switch the angle
to what it is in the reference
and then hold down angle for shot
just put them
okay so government work back
from here
setlist hospital
so
graded check out this video today folks uh... this is a new way of an amazing
and i want to do
cult worked
he said
uh...
let me finish going through there
week uh... important move coming up here
brady's green spur through
it's
so right there with one swipe by ke all those frames on every frame
so tell me that's not faster than traditional thing
or do you know when is it
on this is faster much
much faster much
fluid
to my workflow
uh... after all we're trying to make stories here
and we don't need
things that are on conducive
to creativity
so on the set that disposition their as you can plainly see it came reference
not just keep working
uh...
horse flesh
okay folks so what imma do now
is just finished off this little part
right here with another swoosh
and then
all have to do is runs a smoothing out one more time so
hang on one second and i'll be right back
uh... start and points
knapsack correctly
set your starting in points
and hit apply
you have to go between trekking folks here we go
careful selling a smooth it out now the moment of truth is um... court playback
groups and the police sort
what you're looking at
is as a final
detailed animation
and i think it's freakin fantastic it's uh...
maybe the most detailed animation i've ever created
uh...
forfeit your body wise
it has all the fingers
has the head
and his looking sweet
so what to do now let's put it on a full avatar of the skeleton with assorted
shield
in showing you exactly how these
attachments work
okay
here we go disc or the export amoco import target character
and we're gonna bring one in cults daily
uh... skeletonized
so here it is a it was a unity asset
and it's an f_b_i_ expire
so loaded in
and what you'll see it's home profile
so what you have to do is below the bone profile
and now issued mimic
fairly reasonably
the actions of uh...
character
so let's bring up the skin and there it is cool
so liao
manatees sing
so let's see how fluid uh...
assortments
looks pretty good
k could use a little work in the sword in hand
but mostly how to do that right now
give us what you do uh...
you get a good
contrast
and then you've got old video
as you can use that as a reference inc i need it
three of them going here
so the first thing you do is traveling and have to adjust this sort of you
uh... also readers
uh... we can set those now that there's thinkers so we're gonna go
finger one
left finger one
leptin into
left a factor
that must be now
uh...
finger
we're
so left finger
uh... wants you
uh...
now
will call the standard
folks so went through in on it
motion transfer while
so save it is still a tonight to profile or fingers
so here we have it's driving our avatar in real time now we can really
uh...
do some cool stuff so i'll show you that you can turn on the man subjects
and see how we have an optimum head position right there
uh... an albany separate on after two point position
that
it's like a money shot planet at the size
those positions that look good
c
my having a blast uh... creating some really cool animations oaks
just like i always wanted to
so thanks for watching this tutorial in uh... in the next two programs three
smothered neat things
uh... regarding this fantastic program called hyped hyped to visit my website
it's called
fremont calif dot com
and they have all kinds of neat stuff there
free tutorials three motions
uh...
just lots of great things regarding
animation
and motion capture
so thanks figured out
my name's job
and we'll see you in the very next to talk
so you'll see now
without with a high contrast
that is very
professional
animation that super smooth
him
really uh...
look at that
so
we'll see you next toro
and we'll show you more how to do this
uh...
thanks for watching
