I've recorded a detailed space-switching tutorial in Maya, explaining everything starting from the theory and the very basics up to the complex examples and real applications:.a small 🧵

I'm starting a new series of tutorials that explain the creature's locomotion in detail. We'll go through each part of the state machine and discuss various tricks and non-obvious moments. The rig and animations are free and available for download. All links below:

More tests with creature animation. One short clip copied and transformed with animation layers

A bit of practice with a creature walk cycle. I'll upload the rig with more animations soon

So is generative AI taking over in animation? Spoiler, I don't think it's happening for games, for the moment it's limited by technicalities of gathering, processing, and systematizing the data. But it's already scary.

Maybe drafts, crowds, or background characters can benefit from it, but anything custom requires a human touch. Ideally would be cool to optimize routine tasks, like blends between animations, or animation variations based on recorded data, and let people do the creative work.

AI on the other hand is able to generate "new" things, but only something that it was trained for, therefore it is by definition limited by the model and often creates a very "generic" and boring result.

With scripts, you can modify already existing animation, created by hand or from mocap, and keep all micro details of the character's performance, but apply some adjustments on top of it easily, and save some time.

In this crazy world where new AI appears every week, I think we could talk about the difference between it and traditional tools like scripts. In the new tutorial, I'm showing some interesting examples, and how you can handle things with the Smart Layer.

oh look at these monsters and rigs!.

In some examples, I use animations from my locomotion project, detailed breakdown of which can be found here:. The project uses the Azri rig from Game Anim:. Thank you for watching!.

- animated vs static main control.- root motion extraction.- creation of custom main control.- how to use center of mass .- how to manage two handed weapon.- switch to IK .- switch to AIM and arc polishing.- secondary motion .- smart curve filters (avoid gimbal lock issues).

The tutorial explains:.- creation of locators and animation snapshots from objects and geometry .- switch to the world space.- switch to the custom pivot point.- switch space inside the desired object.- setting pose in world space over time range.
