00:01Hello everyone welcome back this is part 2. I suppose it's actually video 3 if you count the intro.
00:10I'm not counting the intro so really this is video 2 just to say confusing things.
00:14Ok first of all if you open a blender and if you haven't already loaded your file.
00:19You go here, open, you go to your downloads, wherever your file is, open your file, you click on it
00:27and it opens exactly like that.
00:30Right, so everything is set standard.
00:33Ok first of all what we're going to do, we're going to go here, we want to set the actual
00:38dope sheet, click the dope sheet, then go back to it and change it to action editor.
00:46Now why are we interested in this? Ok, this is how you're going to get your renders in and out
00:52once you change animations.
00:55Ok, leave it like that, go back up here and save it. Ok, so we're already set.
01:01We'll go here, but you'll notice we've only got one animation, that's that animation there.
01:06Right, so we want to add a few more animations into our pose library.
01:12Now it doesn't matter if it's a standing animation, it doesn't matter if it's a face animation, it doesn't matter.
01:17I want to show you how to do it. Ok, I'll show you how to put them all into one
01:21file and I'll show you how to put them all into the separate files.
01:25Later on, I'll say I want to keep it nice, easy, plain and simple. I like all my files in
01:29the same file.
01:30So, I want to zoom in, if I want to, as a personal preference. If you have two clicks on
01:36the character, if you press it twice, that's animation loads.
01:41Ok, what we're going to do. Ok, I want to go here and hide the camera. I want to look
01:46at this one, I want to hide his camera.
01:48As I said, the camera's still there. They're still there. I just don't want to see them. I don't need
01:53to see them.
01:54Because all I need to do is pick whichever camera I want. I'm doing the body shot, so I'm going
02:00to press the body camera.
02:00I can look through it, make sure it's on the right camera, thinking, yep, perfect.
02:05Ok, you don't have to worry about zooming in, zooming in, because the camera stays exactly where it is. Right.
02:11Ok, pick your armature, go here, close. Now, close your shoulder, go into this one, and rotate your arm somewhere
02:21next to the line.
02:23Right. Click this arm, move it up, somewhere next to the line.
02:28Now, these are only rough animations, just so you can understand that.
02:32Ok, once you set them to the right now, they're about. Ok, I'll animate it a bit better than that,
02:37but for now, it's ok.
02:38Go to pop mode, go up a little bit, so you can see your character.
02:43Now, what I'm going to do, I'm going to put their arm, and put a finger, and touch the line.
02:48With that, and touch her finger on the line. Ok, this one, and do exactly the same thing.
02:57Ok, you zoom back out, you can go back into front view, side view, doesn't matter, whichever view you want.
03:02It makes no difference. Ok, now, what I'm going to do, hold this, you can move around like this.
03:08Ok, select the whole character. Right click, insert keyframe. Ok, and you say, well, keyframe's already there.
03:15Yeah, it is. The keyframe's there, for that one. Right? I'm going to right click and go insert keyframe. Right?
03:23If you want to move to the next frame, you can. I don't do that. I'll just right click and
03:26go insert keyframe.
03:28Because this is the first keyframe, for this animation.
03:32Visual location and rotation, it automatically replaces that animation. Right?
03:39It's still there, because that animation is for this one. Right?
03:42Go down here, create asset, and click to the 12th one.
03:48Now, what I'm going to do, I'm going to click here. Because these are just keyframes.
03:53When you click on it, these are already opened. Great. If you have it, just click the little box.
03:56If it comes out. Go to the top. Click on the name.
04:01Change whatever it is. Oh, it's called E. P. P.
04:07Because that's my keyframes. Of course, I want to take a new render of that.
04:12Now, is it a fence shot? Is it a body shot? Okay, just pick whichever camera you want.
04:18As I said, I'm doing it in a way where everything is easy. Right?
04:22So, what you want to do? Body shot. Check it. Yeah, great.
04:25Okay. Go here, render that out. I don't want to render the whole thing, so turn it off.
04:32Just go here and make one image. Okay. Yeah, I'm happy with that.
04:37Okay, I want to save that. Press this. Save it.
04:42And this is the whole entire process that you're learning.
04:46You don't need to learn much more than this.
04:48Okay. Now, it's not called that. I can click this. I can click that.
04:52And I can put a T on the end of that. And I can save it again.
04:56Of course, I don't want the picture looking like that.
04:59Because if you were to click on the character, you don't know that's Emma.
05:03You don't know that. So, click on it. Come over here. Go to the bottom. Press this.
05:09Press the T. You can't see it. Press that. And you can see which image it is.
05:13It's this one. It's okay. Oh, look at that.
05:17Now, of course, that's it. That's how you animate your character.
05:23I said, what? No way. It's easy. It's very easy.
05:27Of course, you have running, jumping, crawling, whatever you want.
05:29Of course, these are, at the moment, these are static animations.
05:33So, if you have two clicks, she'll do that. If you have two clicks, she'll do that.
05:39Of course, I can have a look animation if I want to and change it.
05:42So, what I can do here, I can basically go to her, let's say, go to her shoulder.
05:48And I can put it back down by her side.
05:50So, now she's pointing over to, let's say, the right-hand side.
05:54Okay. All I have to do is select it. This is how I do it. Okay.
05:58I select it with it. Right-click. Insert.
06:02Visual location and rotation. Come back down here. Press this one.
06:06Of course, you press the button over here, if you want to.
06:09I don't use the one over here. I'll just press this.
06:13Press create, and it adds a new animation. That'd be great.
06:16Zoom up. Give it a new name. It's called EP.
06:22And I'm going to call it RT. And I'll call it number one.
06:26Okay. So, that will do first. I'll think, okay.
06:29While I'm still doing the same character, it's already on the body camera.
06:34Well, I'll just make sure. I'll go back up here.
06:37And I'll basically make a screenshot.
06:40Make a render. It's a screenshot.
06:42Same thing. Go here. Save it.
06:46And, of course, I want to save it in the same folder.
06:49So, of course, I want to click this.
06:51That bar.
06:53And, what?
06:55What did we call it? Look down here.
06:57You can see what we call it.
06:59Then, we call it PTM RT.
07:03I'll get carried away with the mouse.
07:07RT1. Press save.
07:10Now, of course, we can close that.
07:11We can go back to the file.
07:13We can replace the photo.
07:15Which is that one.
07:17So, as you can see, our character now is actually coming to life.
07:21So, we've gone from a static character to a character that moves.
07:25To test the animations, you can do this one.
07:28You can do this one.
07:29You can do this one.
07:31As I say, you can get creative if you want to.
07:35You do exactly the same with the face.
07:38I'll show you how to do that if you want to do that.
07:41Now, of course, if you come over to your files.
07:44I'll click off that for a second.
07:46If you go over here.
07:47As I'm using the current file, right?
07:49That's what I'm using.
07:50So, they're all inside the current file.
07:53Okay?
07:53They're inside here.
07:54Not actually inside the Emma folder.
07:57See here?
07:58This is the Emma folder, right?
08:00As I said, it doesn't matter where they are.
08:02Okay?
08:02You can drag and drop them in any folder that you want.
08:06Okay?
08:06You just want to make a new file inside your file.
08:10Make sure you're on your file.
08:13Click on that.
08:15You can go here.
08:16You can add a new file in there.
08:17And, of course, add a new file.
08:20You call your face.
08:24And then, of course, you add all the animations in.
08:27You create for your face inside the face file.
08:30Right?
08:31So, you can go back to the file.
08:33I'm just making them all inside this file.
08:35So, you want to send it.
08:37Okay?
08:37So, I say, if you want that file.
08:39Then, of course, press that one.
08:40And then, just tell it to you.
08:42Use the current file.
08:43Right?
08:45Again, personal preference.
08:47So, I'll go that one.
08:48Okay?
08:48So, now I'm in the face file.
08:50Right?
08:51Make sure you always press the current file.
08:54Okay?
08:55Now, I'm going to go to face.
08:57Of course, the file would be inside your file.
09:00Right?
09:01To move the file, you hold it and drag it and let go.
09:04And it goes inside your file.
09:06Right?
09:07That's it.
09:08That's all you have to do.
09:09Okay?
09:09Now, I want to be able to create a face shot.
09:12If I click the camera, I want the face.
09:14Right?
09:15Now, what I'm going to do, I'm going to move the character down.
09:17I'm going to zoom in.
09:19Move it down.
09:20Now, of course, this again is personal preference.
09:24Now, this is where I want to use transparent mode.
09:26So, I get to see exactly what I'm doing with her face.
09:31Because we've got big massive bones sticking out of the face.
09:34That are kind of in the way of eating grey.
09:38Perfect.
09:38Okay.
09:39I'm not worried about that.
09:40I'm going to click the bottom one here.
09:43Let me zoom in a little bit.
09:46Okay, you can use that to zoom in.
09:47Zoom out.
09:49Whichever the case may be.
09:50Click the bone.
09:52This is what I want to do.
09:53I want to right click.
09:54Insert animation.
09:55Say yeah.
09:57That's what I want to do.
09:58Now, I want to save that animation.
10:00Because that's a standard default.
10:02That's an idle.
10:03Press this.
10:04Save.
10:06Oh, look at this.
10:07Because we want an actual face, there is going to be the facial.
10:11Of course, you can zoom in further than that.
10:13So you can have a prop of those shots on the face.
10:17Come over here.
10:19And I'm going to call it face.
10:25This is face.
10:26And I'm going to put underscore zero.
10:29Okay.
10:29That's my standard default.
10:31And of course, I want a photo of that.
10:34So what I want to do is go back into render.
10:37Check it.
10:39And that's what it is.
10:41Now, of course, that's the face.
10:42But of course, I don't want an arm sticking out.
10:44Of course, if I want to change animation, I can.
10:47I can just go back to my animation.
10:49That's the costume.
10:50Let me do it back onto there.
10:51The costume I've got our arm sticking out.
10:54That's the animation I've got.
10:56Right?
10:57So as I say, you can change animation here if you want to.
11:01So as I say, it's your own personal preference.
11:04It's whatever you want.
11:05Okay?
11:06So when you're happy, pick the animation you want.
11:09Go here.
11:11Not there.
11:11Go here.
11:12And render.
11:14As I say, pick the animation that you want.
11:16See, if you're standing like that, with a face.
11:17Of course, you would zoom into the face if you want to.
11:21You need to do that.
11:22You just take the face and zoom into the face.
11:25So you've only got the face part.
11:27Right?
11:28She's perfectly fine with that.
11:30So I'm going to go here.
11:32Save it as.
11:33I'm going to save it in the same folder.
11:37Complete all that.
11:40And I'm going to call the face.
11:44Underscore.
11:46Zero.
11:48So yeah.
11:49Keep the face folder.
11:51Go down.
11:52Check the file.
11:53And load her face.
11:54As you can see, because this is the face camera, it's actually the closer shot.
11:58Click that.
12:00And save it open.
12:01Okay.
12:01Now this is my face shot.
12:03But of course, the face is not moving.
12:05I'm thinking.
12:06Great.
12:07Now of course, this is where you turn on the transparency.
12:11Like this.
12:12Is the transparency not working?
12:14Yeah, because this is what you have to do.
12:15You go here.
12:17You go to object mode.
12:19Set the character.
12:20And turn transparency on.
12:22Go back into.
12:24Come on.
12:25Click on that.
12:26Click on it.
12:27Click off it.
12:28Click this.
12:29Go back here.
12:30And pose.
12:32Now my character is actually invisible.
12:34Right?
12:35So I can zoom in.
12:36I can zoom up.
12:37I can zoom down.
12:38Doesn't matter.
12:39Click on this.
12:41Of course, if you want to zoom in, you can zoom in.
12:42Now what you want to do is click on whichever bone that you want.
12:45I want the same bone.
12:47I want to open my mouth.
12:49Open my lip.
12:51I want to click here.
12:52I want to insert the animation.
12:54Right?
12:55Don't forget you would zoom into this.
12:57And you can move your eyes, your mouth, your cheeks, and everything else.
13:00You can have all the animations going on together.
13:03Go here.
13:04And do the same thing.
13:06Oh, look at this.
13:09Absolutely beautiful.
13:10Come back here.
13:11And image that.
13:12See what that's doing.
13:14As you can see, now the mouse is open.
13:16Right?
13:17So, I want to save that.
13:18Of course, you would take your time doing this.
13:21From here.
13:22As I said, because I'm doing a video, I don't want to waste too much of your time.
13:26And for this, I want to call it Face 1.
13:30Okay, so I'll get rid of that and call it Face 1.
13:34And I want to click on this.
13:36Go back over here.
13:37And change this to Face 1.
13:44It's not really Face 1.
13:47This would be Open Mouth.
13:50Because Mouth is actually open at the moment.
13:53So, go here.
13:54And press this.
13:56See?
13:57Mouth is closed.
13:57Mouth is open.
13:58Right?
13:59I want to load that one on there.
14:01Take that.
14:02Okay.
14:03Now, of course, if I were to turn off that.
14:05I don't want to turn off the ghost.
14:08Go back here.
14:09Go back to the standard node.
14:10Turn off the ghost.
14:12Go back here.
14:13Believe it or not, that.
14:14I can turn around.
14:16Of course, you can move your face better.
14:17You can move your eyes, your nose, your ears, your tongue, everything else.
14:21That's how you do it.
14:23And, of course, when you jump through your animation, you need two clicks.
14:27And two clicks.
14:28Right?
14:29That's how you change the animations.
14:31Here.
14:33You have Face 1.
14:35Right?
14:35That's Face Animation 1.
14:37So, she's standing there, she's thinking, hi, yeah.
14:40Can you speak, Emma?
14:41She goes, not yet.
14:42And you go, okay.
14:44Open your mouth.
14:45Over your mouth.
14:46You look great, girl.
14:47So, of course, I'll see your mouth open.
14:49Right?
14:49And, of course, you can change animations here.
14:52To whatever you want.
14:54We can go down here.
14:55And we can obviously apply animations.
14:57I like to apply animations here.
14:59You can click on this animation.
15:00Right-click on it.
15:02Apply animation.
15:03If you want to.
15:04You can do it that way around.
15:06I like to keep thinking, obviously, plain and simple.
15:09And you can also click on the characters.
15:11And you can blend through the animations.
15:15If you want to.
15:16That's a little bit more for later on.
15:18Well, once you learn how to set it all up.
15:20So, it all works great.
15:22Right?
15:23Once you've done that.
15:24So, you've got your code library.
15:26You've got your cameras.
15:26It all works.
15:28You know how to get your renders in and out.
15:31These are your characters.
15:32So, of course, every single photo.
15:36That you've got.
15:37This is what I'm going to recommend.
15:39You can use an AI software to do this.
15:41But, unless you want to pay for it.
15:44That's great.
15:45But, I think you know.
15:46I want to do it for free.
15:47Because I know you can do it in Blender.
15:49Okay?
15:49So, you take a photo.
15:51Let's say she's saying A, B, C, D.
15:54Doesn't matter.
15:55Whatever she's saying.
15:56Okay?
15:56So, what you want to do.
15:58This is how you would go about doing it.
16:01Ignore the timeline for a moment.
16:03I'm not going to do it.
16:03I'm just going to show you the principle.
16:05You go here.
16:06You'll change the timeline.
16:09To video sequencer.
16:12What's this?
16:13Now, watch what happens.
16:14When you use video sequencer.
16:16It's nice and easy.
16:17You go here.
16:18It will take to you.
16:19Load the image.
16:21Here.
16:22Press that.
16:24So, you're going to load the image.
16:25With the sound.
16:26Right?
16:27So, I want the face open.
16:29Mouth open.
16:30So, of course.
16:31She could be saying A, B, C.
16:33Okay?
16:34So, we're going to press that.
16:36It loads in there.
16:37Like, hmm.
16:38That's great.
16:39Now, what you want to do.
16:41Because it's one single photo.
16:43Okay?
16:44This is how I sync my animations.
16:47To my whole entire video game.
16:49Okay?
16:50So, I do that.
16:51And now, to add a sound.
16:52I need to go back into the file.
16:55Go to load the sound.
16:58Go to downloads.
16:59I should have a sound in there.
17:00There's no sound in there.
17:01But if I want to add a sound, I can.
17:03I don't have a sound.
17:04So, I can't add it.
17:05Okay?
17:06So, what you do.
17:06You click here.
17:08And you can load either WAV files or MP3s.
17:12I'll go here.
17:13Let me see if I've got a voice for you.
17:16As I said.
17:17I'm not going to do it.
17:17I'm just going to show you the audio.
17:19Okay.
17:19So, let me just look down here.
17:21I'm looking for Emma's World.
17:23Not that one.
17:24Let me just change.
17:27Down the bottom.
17:29Somewhere here.
17:30It should be Emma's AI, is it?
17:31Yeah.
17:31Let's go to Emma's AI.
17:32And inside Emma's AI, we've got sounds.
17:36And this one says, no way.
17:38Of course, this says no way.
17:40Of course, we need to move our mouse slightly.
17:44The no and the way.
17:46Right?
17:50So, anyway, just for now, I'm going to show you.
17:53So, left with that.
17:54So, I'm showing you how to add the photos.
17:57And you add the sound to that photo.
18:01Right?
18:01So, of course, if she's saying, like, whatever she's saying.
18:07I can right click on that.
18:09I can click this, hold, drag it.
18:11Right click.
18:12You can set the preview range to there.
18:15Right?
18:16Make sure you set the range.
18:17That way, it only goes from there to there.
18:20For play.
18:21No way.
18:23Okay?
18:23That's what she says.
18:24Right?
18:25I don't know if you can hear it on the screen.
18:26She says, no way.
18:29Okay?
18:29Now, I can tell you, you can zoom into this.
18:32Scroll the mouse wheel.
18:34Grab the photo.
18:36Hold it and drag it right to the end of that.
18:39Okay?
18:39Now, the sound matches the photo.
18:44Right?
18:44But, because she says, no way, what you would do is put this back there.
18:51Right?
18:52So, you pull the photo back, you need the voice where it is.
18:55Right?
18:56Of course, you can split the voice if you want to.
18:58You can split it in half.
18:59Right?
19:00You can click on it.
19:01And you can go here.
19:02And you can tell it to split the track.
19:04Okay?
19:05If you want to.
19:06So, they're here.
19:06Right?
19:07Well, we're not going to split it because that's for a different video.
19:10Okay?
19:10So, now, what you'd want to do, because there's two sounds here, you'd want to add two photos
19:16in here.
19:16Of course, I've only got one photo.
19:19So, I'm going to basically drag it to there.
19:22Now, to get this out, so it works, you select all of that.
19:26You go here.
19:27And you can go to render.
19:30Now, believe it or not, even though it's still animation shot, it won't look correct,
19:36because she's not actually moving.
19:37It will play.
19:38It will play perfect.
19:39But, as I said, if I go to my download order now, wherever I actually export the movie,
19:46wherever I do that.
19:48So, if I want to check where that is, I can go back to the TV screen.
19:52It's not the TV screen, it's the printer.
19:54I can scroll down and say, I've got an image.
19:58Okay?
19:58So, if I'm going to render out the sound with the image, which is exactly what you would
20:03do.
20:04Okay?
20:05You would go here, and you would tally it's a video.
20:08Okay?
20:09When you press video, it goes into a temporary file.
20:12You can press that.
20:14You can pick and choose where you want it.
20:16Download.
20:18I can put it in the same folder.
20:20And say, yeah.
20:22Okay, so if I do any animation down in here, that will automatically go into the Emma animation
20:27folder.
20:28So, of course, I can go here.
20:29Make a new file.
20:31I can call it Emma.
20:33Say save it.
20:35And just save it.
20:35So now, all the files will go into her folder.
20:38Go here now and go with anime.
20:41We'll do that.
20:43Of course, you want to set the frames.
20:46As I said, the frames are here.
20:48I want to show you that.
20:49Let me go back over to my downloads.
20:52Open my downloads.
20:53Open Emma.
20:54These are my images.
20:55As you can see.
20:57Of course, I can move this file anywhere I want.
20:59And then just tell Blender that I've changed location.
21:02It's a good way to store your files.
21:04This is my video.
21:08And of course, she would be saying, oh, no.
21:11I'll show you.
21:12Now, you see how long the video is?
21:13Watch.
21:15She would be moving her mouth.
21:17That's what she'd be doing.
21:19But of course, she's not going to do nothing.
21:21Because we haven't added the second animation to it.
21:25As I said, I know it's important to show you that.
21:29But the idea of that is to show you how to load sound.
21:34The image.
21:35So you pick the load.
21:37The image.
21:38Load the image.
21:39If you want to see it.
21:40That's that.
21:41You can load any image you want.
21:43And then of course, you go back here.
21:46You say load the audio.
21:48Go back into your file.
21:50Open your file.
21:51You'll find the sound for that particular image.
21:55Or that part of the movie.
21:57Once you've done it.
21:58You select it all.
21:59Right click.
22:00Set the strip.
22:02Once you set the strip.
22:04Of course.
22:05It's up to you.
22:05It's however you're doing it.
22:08And then of course.
22:08You go over this side.
22:10Press the printer.
22:11Pick your file.
22:13You can change the file at any time.
22:15Pick a file.
22:16Inside the animations.
22:18Say yeah.
22:19Here.
22:20And this one.
22:22This one.
22:22Is what gives you.
22:23Your animation.
22:24Right.
22:25So when you go to the internet.
22:26And you pay for that.
22:28A work program.
22:30Yeah.
22:31This is exactly what it's doing.
22:33So basically.
22:34All it does.
22:34It picks a file for you.
22:36That's what it does.
22:38It adds your photo.
22:39It adds the sound.
22:41It goes.
22:42It goes.
22:43It goes to render.
22:44It renders at your whole animation.
22:46And.
22:47A few seconds later.
22:49You've got yourself a working.
22:51Animation.
22:52Well.
22:53Yeah.
22:54So if you want to continue paying for it.
22:56Go ahead and do it.
22:57If you want to do it for free.
22:58Use Blender.
23:00Stay safe.
23:00Keep friendly.
23:01Now.
23:02I'll see you in part three.
23:05I'm not even going to tell you.
23:06What I'm going to show you.
23:07You have to come back.
23:08I want to see what your interest is.
23:10Stay safe.
23:11See you soon.
23:11Bye.
