0:04>> Welcome to the advanced guide for Roblox
0:06animation in Blender. Many of you
0:07thought I died, but I didn't. And after
0:097 months of silence, I'm back to teach
0:12you how to become the best Roblox
0:13animator the world has ever seen. But
0:16first, if you haven't seen my beginners
0:17guide yet, make sure to watch it. You
0:19can click right here or you can find it
0:21in the description. All right, before we
0:23start, make sure to download the R6 IK
0:25rig again. If you downloaded the rig off
0:27my Blender tutorial files, just go to
0:29the same drive folder. It's going to be
0:31in the description. Download this again
0:32because I've made a few fixes to the
0:34rig. It's going to be called R6 IK fix.
0:36I'm going to talk about those fixes in a
0:38second, but I also want to mention that
0:40this time around, you're going to see
0:42that there is actual keys being shown
0:45here. Whenever I press something, you
0:47can see it in the bottom right. So, if
0:50if I don't say or if you don't
0:51understand what I just pressed, then you
0:54know, you're going to have that over
0:55here. I'm going to actually just move
0:56that a little bit. You can now update
0:58faces and you can change faces super
1:00easily. I've made it like
1:02>> [music]
1:03>> anybody can change the texture of this
1:05rig. And I I can guarantee you guys. I'm
1:07also going to show you how to change the
1:09texture to your avatar because that's
1:11something a lot of you wanted to know
1:13how to do that. So, in the tutorial
1:14folder, you're going to notice that
1:16there's different faces here. And this
1:18is basically the easiest way to change
1:21the face. And it literally tells you
1:22what to do. You just rename every single
1:25If you want this face, let's say I want
1:27this face, right? So, what I would do is
1:29I would rename this first and then go
1:31into the Blender tutorial files and just
1:33replace this one. Uh if you don't like
1:35this face for whatever reason. Also,
1:37another way to change this is if you
1:38click on any body part, make sure you
1:41you're in the layout and you're also in
1:43object mode. When you click on any body
1:45part and you go over um over here and
1:49you change this to
1:51shader editor, you change uh change it
1:54to shader editor. Over here, if you
1:56scroll, and going to um yeah, get to
2:00this, you can see I can press this
2:02folder icon over here, and I can just go
2:05into the different faces folder, and I
2:06can basically change change this very
2:09super easily. I think this is actually
2:11the better way to change this cuz you
2:13don't have to rename everything or stuff
2:15like that. It's also not that
2:16complicated, so you know, you can
2:18rewatch it if you miss something or if
2:21I'm going too fast, you can always just
2:22stop the video, play it on lower speed
2:25or whatever, guys. I have to go to
2:26Roblox Studio for a second to show you
2:28how to actually change the texture to
2:30your model, to your avatar. It's
2:31literally the same thing, but there is
2:34also accessories, so you're going to be
2:37able to add those to to your rig. So,
2:38let me go ahead and actually go into
2:40plugins here, and we're going to go
2:41ahead and insert our character here. You
2:44can use the Moon Animator inserter, or
2:45you can use any other one. It won't make
2:47a difference. So, once you have your
2:48avatar, go into the explorer here, and
2:50then right click on your on your model
2:53or or on your character model, and save
2:55and export. We're going to export this
2:57as OBJ. You can save this wherever you
2:59want. Make sure to just title this
3:01whatever you want. Let's say I just
3:03titled this Nisky. We're actually not
3:04going to be using the OBJ of this, so it
3:06doesn't matter what it's titled. We're
3:07just going to be using the texture. But,
3:09I have this saved already, so I don't
3:10need to save it again. But, this is not
3:13all, all right? You You need to make
3:14sure you also save only the accessories
3:17cuz when I actually save the whole
3:19thing, it would import like everything
3:22to my Blender, and I don't want the base
3:24plate and all that to be there. So, I
3:26only want the accessory. So, we're going
3:28to actually go ahead and right click on
3:30the accessory. Now, if you have multiple
3:32accessories, you can go ahead and select
3:34control, and you know, click on each of
3:37the accessory, but I only have one
3:39accessory on this model. You can see
3:41that it's an accessory by the little
3:43wizard hat or whatever symbol it's right
3:46next to the thing.
3:47Anyways, just go into right right click,
3:50save and export, export as OBJ, and this
3:54is the actual OBJ model we're going to
3:55be using. So, I'm actually going to
3:57title this hair, and we're going to go
3:58ahead and click save. Now, let's move
3:59back into Blender, and we're going to go
4:02back into the Shader Editor tab. So,
4:04we're going to go ahead and select any
4:06piece of the body, it doesn't matter,
4:07you can select the head, the torso, it
4:08doesn't matter. Now, back in the Shader
4:10Editor, this time we're going to be
4:12changing two textures. So, this one, I
4:14think it's meant to be this one is meant
4:16to be like the face texture, and this
4:18one is meant to be like the body
4:19texture. I'm not really sure, I haven't
4:21made this already myself. So, I don't
4:23really know what what the logic behind
4:24this is. I'm assuming that's what it is.
4:26So, we're going to go ahead and
4:28open image here once again, and navigate
4:30over to the folder where you saved all
4:33of these things. Oh, you remember we
4:34exported the the model, and we also
4:37exported the accessories. The place
4:38where you exported the model, there
4:40there's going to be a handle one
4:43underscore diff. So, we're going to go
4:44ahead and open image, and as you can
4:46see, that's it. Actually, I said we're
4:49going to change both of these. I guess
4:50we should. Let's just change these just
4:53to make sure. So, now let's finally go
4:55over how to add the accessories. By the
4:57way, guys, there's going to be
4:58timestamps on this video, so you can
5:00click through the whole timeline. You
5:02can also find the timestamps in the
5:03description, you can click through
5:04anything. Everything is going to be
5:06organized, so you can just skip to the
5:08section that you are interested in if
5:09that's the case. Anyways, to add the
5:11accessories, go into file over here in
5:13the top left corner. We're going to go
5:15ahead and import, and we're going to
5:16import OBJ Wavefront OBJ. Now, navigate
5:20over where you saved the accessories. As
5:22you can see, these this is my
5:23accessories, the hair dot OBJ. This is
5:25what I titled it. And now, simply press
5:29import. Okay?
5:31So, once we have that imported, it's not
5:33going to be in the middle, as you can
5:35see. For some reason, this is the way
5:37Roblox
5:39things get imported from a Roblox
5:40Studio. It is what it is. All we need to
5:43do though is go into object over here.
5:46We're going to set origin and origin to
5:49geometry.
5:50And what this is going to do is going to
5:52move the control point to over here. And
5:56now we can go press N, press N over
5:59here, go into item, and simply press a
6:02zero on all of these.
6:04And as you can see, this is going to
6:06make it so it's in the
6:09in the center. And it's still rotated,
6:11it's still rotated 90 degrees, so we can
6:13just press zero. Actually no, no, wait,
6:16wait, wait.
6:17Uh it should be rotated on the Z. So
6:19we're going to actually press 90 over
6:21here. Actually no, 180 on the Z cuz um
6:25yeah, it's it's on the Z axis. You
6:27rotate that from the Z axis. I don't
6:29really know how to explain that.
6:30Anyways, all we need to do now is just
6:32drag the hair up with uh G
6:36and just position it on our character uh
6:38cuz it's not directly in the middle even
6:41though it should be. I don't really know
6:42why that is.
6:44Uh but this is basically how you add any
6:46accessory. Depending on how your
6:49accessories import into Blender, it can
6:51be kind of finicky getting getting this
6:53into the right place, but it shouldn't
6:55really take long. And once you actually
6:57have it in the right place, I think this
6:58looks about right. Once you have this,
7:00keep this selected, right? We have their
7:02hair selected, and we want to select the
7:04armature. Now it might be a little
7:06tricky to select the armature. What I do
7:09is select the the root over here. This
7:11is called the root. We're going to go
7:13ahead and shift select the root. Now go
7:16over here to the top left. We're going
7:17to go into pose mode. And once again,
7:20very finicky. Since this is the hair, if
7:23you had any accessory that's on the
7:24shoulder or wherever else, you're going
7:26to be parenting it to the bone that you
7:28want it to move with. So this is the
7:31head bone right here. So we're going to
7:33go ahead and shift select that, and
7:35we're going to select control P.
7:37And we can select set parent to bone.
7:40What this does now is whenever I rotate
7:43this, as you can see, the hair moves
7:45with it.
7:46Um it actually Yeah, I I don't think I
7:49positioned the hair correctly, but it
7:50doesn't really matter. It was just to
7:52show you guys you can go ahead and make
7:53it perfect on your character. All right,
7:55the next change I've done to this rig is
7:57actually um over here in the in the
8:00right panel here. We're going to go into
8:02output, and this is just to show you
8:05guys
8:06Oh. Okay, this is This is weird because
8:09I think I changed this. Okay, it's going
8:11to be changed by the time you get this
8:13file is going to be at 24 FPS, the frame
8:15rate over here in the format tab is
8:17going to be at 24 FPS. Now, the reason
8:20why we animate in 24 FPS is because
8:2360 can look like it's way too smooth. 60
8:27is way too smooth. So, what happens it
8:30it just makes the animations look kind
8:32of CG or like really weird. Most people
8:36will swear by 24 FPS. Like
8:39I probably haven't really met that many
8:41animators who even animate at 60. It
8:44just doesn't look too good, but you can
8:46obviously experiment with this. Just so
8:48you know, this is where you change the
8:49frame rate. You can even go lower. I
8:52wouldn't recommend this. Uh if you
8:54actually want to animate at like 12 FPS,
8:56I'm going to show you how to do that in
8:58a second, and it is not by changing
9:00this, all right? Keep this at 24. Mo-
9:0399% of the time you want to keep this at
9:0524 when you're making your Roblox
9:06animations. It's the best. Now, let's go
9:08back into the animation tab over here.
9:11Uh this is going to be the place where
9:13you're going to animate most of the
9:14time. By the way, pressing N is going to
9:16hide this because it's pretty annoying.
9:18So, just press N, and you don't have to
9:20watch this here. But, if you want to
9:22have it there, you can go ahead and go
9:24ahead. Now, we're getting to the best
9:25part of this video because I think this
9:27is like a thing that nobody ever on
9:31YouTube in history of Roblox animations
9:33in Blender ever teach anyone. Or um be
9:36wrong, okay? don't actually quote me on
9:38this. But, this is probably the biggest
9:41time saver and the biggest pro of
9:43Blender in general. This is why I think
9:46Blender is actually goated. It's not
9:48only that, but it is a huge part of the
9:50reason. So, what this is is this little
9:54button here, this little tab here,
9:56create pose asset. Now, this right here
9:58will save you hours, guys. And if you
10:02want to save hours straight off the bat
10:04without creating pose assets yourself,
10:07which is basically Well, let's say I
10:09want to make a a pose asset. What I
10:11would What I would do is just like,
10:13let's say I want to make like a wave.
10:14It's going to look really weird because
10:16I'm going to just make it like super
10:18fast.
10:20Just let's let's say I want to make this
10:22so I don't have to redo this, right? I
10:25want to save this so every time I open a
10:27Blender, I can just double-click an
10:29asset and I can have this here. So,
10:31we're going to select A and make sure
10:33these keyframes aren't selected. So,
10:34just click over here and click back into
10:37viewport and select A again and make
10:39sure these are not glowing yellow or
10:41orange. And we're going to select create
10:43pose asset. Now, here you can either
10:46change it to user library or you can
10:49also select current file. Now, user
10:52library basically means every single
10:55Blender project you're going to open,
10:57you're going to have the pose assets in
10:59that Blender project. So, this is
11:00actually what I would recommend. And
11:02we're going to save this to wave. I
11:04actually cannot save this because this
11:06is what I want to showcase to you guys.
11:08I've been working on this. I've spent
11:10hours working on this, guys. It's my
11:12ultimate pose pack. And I'm going to
11:15show you what this is. Actually, I'm not
11:17going to show you how to use it in this
11:18video, but it is paid, guys. It is only
11:21$5, though. All right. I spent hours on
11:24this. And if if you ask me, I know it
11:27sounds kind of weird because I made it,
11:29but
11:31uh this is this is really worth it. All
11:33right, I'm going to show you everything
11:34that it has. It has action, combat,
11:37defaults, expression, poses, interaction
11:40poses, M1 cycle, run cycle, uh, some
11:42thumbnail poses. It has two different
11:45walk cycles.
11:46It's just really, really good if you
11:49want to animate. And the best part is
11:51that when you're making, let's say I
11:53want to make I want to show you the
11:54power of this, right? So, we're going to
11:56go into defaults here. And let's say I
11:58want to make an idle animation. so I'm
12:00going to go ahead and select the idle A.
12:02Uh, make sure we're actually on the on
12:04the zero on keyframe zero. So, I'm
12:07actually going to go ahead and just
12:08right click this. As you can see, it
12:09already made the keyframes. I'm actually
12:11going to turn this into the dope sheet
12:12just so it's a little faster. And here
12:15at the bottom, we're going to change
12:16this to 60. We're going to change the
12:17end to 60. And I'm going to go ahead and
12:20go halfway through this. And we're just
12:22going to select idle B and go into the
12:25go and like at the end, we're going to
12:27go go to the end. I cannot speak, you
12:30guys. I'm sorry. So, I've literally made
12:31an idle cycle in like 4 seconds. Like,
12:35if I wasn't explaining this, I would
12:36have this done in 5 seconds. And it's
12:38done. All right, it's it's literally
12:39done.
12:40You can see it's
12:42it's already cycled. Uh, by the way, if
12:44you want to cycle some things, you're
12:45going to go into the dope sheet. Make
12:47sure you select everything.
12:49And you're going to go ahead and select
12:51all of these and you're going to go
12:53ahead and press shift E and make cyclic.
12:56Now, this makes it so it's actually
12:59going to cycle even past the thing and
13:01it actually makes it slightly smoother.
13:03And to make this even better for idle
13:05cycles, what I do is I'm going to select
13:07the head over here. Um, the actually,
13:09let's go ahead and select it like this.
13:10We're going to select the head, shift
13:12select both arms.
13:14And we're going to select the uh, these
13:16keyframes here. And we're actually going
13:18to delay them by about like two or three
13:20frames.
13:21>> [music]
13:21>> And this looks super smooth, guys. This
13:24looks super smooth and I've done this in
13:27few clicks. All right, and this is how
13:29you save This is how you save the poses.
13:31Like, the way I showed you how to save
13:33these poses is how I've made every
13:35single one of these. What you're going
13:37to notice though is actually Hold on,
13:38let me go into go back Turn this back
13:41into timeline. Go into the dope sheet
13:44here. And let's say I want to save this
13:46again if I didn't have this pose
13:48already.
13:49>> [music]
13:49>> Uh let's Let me actually delete all of
13:50these keyframes. So, select all. Create
13:54pose asset. We're going to select idle.
13:57And I'm actually going to save it to the
13:58current file just so I don't mess up my
14:00my pose pack. You'll find the link to
14:02buy my pose pack down below in the
14:04description. I really recommend it to
14:06you guys if you if you are serious about
14:08animating. It's going to save you hours,
14:10especially when you're kind of beginning
14:12and you want to make some cycles really
14:14fast. You want to make some thumbnail
14:16poses or some graphic poses, whatever
14:18you want. It's literally I've literally
14:20used this for the thumbnail of this
14:22video. It saved me time while making it.
14:24Saved me so much time while making it.
14:26Anyways, let's go ahead and create this
14:27pose asset. And what I wanted to mention
14:29here is if we go over here to the asset
14:32browser again, we're going to go into
14:35We're going to change this from user
14:36library to current file because that's
14:37where I saved it. And it's going to be
14:39over here. When you don't You can
14:41actually make like catalogs here so you
14:43can organize it. But when you don't make
14:45a catalog, it's going to go into the
14:46unassigned thing. Also, this little star
14:49icon here means this is not saved. So,
14:52make sure Make sure to watch out for
14:54that. You know, cuz you might actually
14:56close Blender and your pose assets are
14:58not going to be saved, which which could
15:00be super annoying. Anyways, [music]
15:02what you're going to notice is that it
15:03doesn't automatically create a thumbnail
15:05for you. So, it's all it's all like
15:08empty here. So, what you do is go into
15:10the little like circle here, like the
15:12settings icon. Zoom out a little bit so
15:14you can see your character. I can
15:16actually pull this down so we have a
15:17little bit more space here. And go over
15:19here, scroll down. You're going to see
15:21preview, this little this little arrow
15:24thing. We're going to capture screenshot
15:26preview. And now when we do this, you
15:29can see you have your idle animation
15:31that's also showing you your thumbnail
15:33of it. So super useful once again guys,
15:37if you want to download or if you want
15:38to buy my pose pack, it's going to be
15:40down below in the description. It's $5
15:42on Gumroad. You have all of these really
15:45really cool poses here. It's just it's
15:48great. Honestly, I use it on a daily
15:50basis when I'm making Roblox videos or
15:53actually I I know I haven't uploaded for
15:557 months, but hear me out.
15:58I used it when making this video. That's
16:00that's what I wanted to you say. I'm not
16:02going to go in depth about my pose pack
16:04in this video because there's going to
16:05be an individual video you're going to
16:07get when you buy my pose pack where I
16:09explain everything about this so you
16:11don't have to worry about that. Let's
16:12move on to the next thing that I want to
16:14show you how to do because I feel like
16:16this is another yet another thing that
16:18really like no Roblox animator in
16:20Blender is going to show show how you
16:22show you how to do this or at least I
16:24haven't seen it or I don't want to
16:26discredit anybody, but I haven't seen
16:28it. It's basically the way I animate my
16:31mascot in the beginning. You can see
16:32that it's kind of like this stop motion
16:35choppy style that's also used in I think
16:38Spider-Verse uses it. I might be wrong,
16:40all right, but there's a lot of animated
16:42movies and all types of things where
16:45this is really used and is really
16:46popular. And personally, I think it
16:48looks pretty cool. So it you need to
16:51know how to do this guys. You need to
16:52know. So to save time making animation
16:54so I don't actually have to like, you
16:56know, animate the whole thing just to
16:58once again showing you guys how powerful
17:00this pose pack is. I'm already going to
17:02make a kick animation in like 4 seconds
17:04over here. Just go ahead and select uh
17:08each key that I want it to be on or each
17:10frame and we've got a very very simple
17:14away. We We a very very simple kick
17:16animation. It's actually kind of
17:19it's kind of slow, so I'm going to go
17:20ahead and select all of these key
17:22frames. You can just select the summary
17:24here and that's going to select every
17:25single key frame under it and we're just
17:28going to just going to select S and
17:30scale this down.
17:31Um I'm thinking this is what it should
17:34be like. Hold on, let me just make sure
17:35I'm in Yeah, I'm in 24 FPS. Very
17:38important, guys. Always make sure in 24
17:40FPS. We can make this a little shorter.
17:42We're going to make this like 24 frames
17:44long. And as you can see we've got a
17:46very cool kick animation. But, if we
17:48want to make it choppy, this is where
17:51the magic comes in, all right? So, make
17:53sure you have graph editor pulled up
17:55here. What I actually like to do for
17:56this is uh pull up the graph editor over
17:59here. So, hold up. Select the graph
18:01editor here. What I like to do is
18:03because I don't I don't know why I just
18:04like to have the graph editor here for
18:06some reason. I'm I'm weird. But, you can
18:08you can obviously just have it here. It
18:10doesn't matter. So, select any single
18:12point. It doesn't matter. Uh I know this
18:14looks like spaghetti, but just select
18:16any single point. We're not going to be
18:18like changing the easing or whatever.
18:20We're going to go to the right here and
18:23it says modifiers here. We're going to
18:25add a modifier and we're going to select
18:28stepped [snorts] interpolation. Now,
18:29once you've selected this, press A and
18:32that's going to select every single key
18:33frame out there. And over here next to
18:35the add modifier, we have copy F
18:38modifiers. So, we're going to click that
18:40and paste and boom, it pasted it to
18:43every single uh frame out here. And now
18:45if we go back, you can see that it's
18:47choppy. Boom, that's it, guys. And you
18:49can change over here how many frames you
18:52want it to stay on for. So, basically if
18:54you're animating on twos, you're going
18:56to have two here. If you're animating on
18:58threes, you're going to have three here.
18:59It's basically how long each frame stays
19:02on for and this is just Honestly, guys,
19:06this is the secret sauce. This is like
19:09the secret sauce, guys.
19:11It just works so well. I love the style
19:14of animation and especially when you
19:16actually learn how to do it correctly.
19:18I'm still kind of learning. I am not the
19:19best at it but I'm still learning. I'm
19:22pushing hard to to be there someday.
19:25>> [laughter]
19:25>> But
19:27this is just so good guys. Let's
19:29actually go ahead and loop this just so
19:31you can see this a little
19:32little more. Yeah, that's a that's a
19:34little too fast.
19:36>> [laughter]
19:36>> But you can see that it is choppy and it
19:39looks good when it's not looped. When
19:41it's when it gets looped it kind of
19:43looks ridiculous but that's literally
19:45it. I haven't mentioned this in the
19:46beginner guide but to reset your
19:48animation is select A or press A and go
19:51and
19:52select alt G and alt R and this selects
19:56and basically refreshes your animation.
19:59We can delete these keyframes because
20:00because we don't need them anymore. And
20:02let me go into the layout here so you
20:04can see things a little easier and this
20:06is where we need to be. So go into
20:07layout for this next section. We're
20:09going to be I'm going to be showing you
20:10how to animate two rigs. So if you have
20:12a fight scene or you have a conversation
20:14scene or any scene in general that needs
20:17two rigs it is very very simple to do.
20:20Now what a lot of beginners will do well
20:22they will select this or even or even
20:25worse they will select the whole thing
20:27and select control C and control V. Now
20:30what this does is it basically makes a
20:34whole mess because you try to move it
20:36around the torso moves around. It is
20:38just a mess guys. Don't do that. Control
20:41Z to undo it and what we're going to do
20:44instead guys we're going to do this the
20:46right way. So actually notice the hair
20:48is not inside of the collection so go
20:50ahead and move it in there and right
20:51click the collection and select
20:53duplicate collection. This is the right
20:56way to duplicate this. Now this is not
20:59everything this is not all. It's not
21:01over yet guys.
21:02So move this rig out of the way so we
21:04can see the the
21:06So as you can see it looks a little
21:07different. Now, there's there's some
21:09bones here. There's a circle. That's
21:11because when you duplicate collections
21:13in Blender, it unhides the things that
21:15are supposed to be hidden in the in the
21:18viewport. Now, there's two icons next to
21:21each each object, and that's hide in the
21:23viewport and disable in renders. Now,
21:27all you need to do for this, because
21:28these are not objects, even if you
21:31rendered this, this is not going to be
21:32shown in the render because it's not an
21:34object. It's not like a cube or
21:36something.
21:36>> [music]
21:36>> So, the only thing you need to do here
21:39is just select the rig one, actually
21:41just select both of these, and also
21:43select the first circle here, and just
21:47you know, click the little eye icon next
21:50to them. And that's it. That's it. You
21:52you have your rig duplicated. So, if I
21:54have an animation on this, or actually
21:57go into once again, go into my
21:59post bag. I'm not trying to promo myself
22:02that much. It's just because this
22:03literally just This is made for this
22:05tutorial, guys. I'm I'm telling you.
22:07This just saves so much time. So, if I
22:09have an animation here, it no longer
22:12gets duplicated because it's it's inside
22:14of a different or mimicked, sorry.
22:17It no longer gets mimicked by this rig
22:19because it's a different collection. So,
22:22I can have this one
22:24Let's say we want the landing pose.
22:26So, I can have this one over here right
22:29next to this one. It's going to be a
22:31completely different animation, and I
22:33can now animate my five scene or
22:35whatever I want. Also, a good thing to
22:37mention is if you're actually moving
22:39your characters around, there's two ways
22:41of actually moving your your rig around
22:44around the scene. Now, the first one is
22:46obviously moving it around in in object
22:49mode, but there's also, if you go back
22:51into the animation tab, there's also
22:54this thing that I talked about before.
22:56Hold up.
22:57This thing over here. You can't really
22:58see it too well because it's kind of
22:59gray. And this is the root. I guess this
23:01is kind of a beginner thing, but a lot
23:04of people don't even notice and they
23:06they've been animating for some time,
23:08but this is basically the root controls
23:10the whole body. But, [music]
23:13this is very important, guys.
23:15Uh this is good for making like, you
23:17know, jumps, falls, and runs. So, let's
23:20say you want to like move this forward,
23:22the So, it's going to run. But, guys,
23:25very important. If you're actually
23:27moving this like a long way, let's say
23:29like you want to move this all the way
23:32over there, I wouldn't I wouldn't do it
23:34like this. I wouldn't do I wouldn't do
23:36it like this uh because it actually you
23:39can see these little things. They kind
23:41of point to somewhere, right? And what
23:44happens is this can kind of become a
23:48little bit of a nuisance and every time
23:51you're moving the rig somewhere like
23:53really far, I would just move it in the
23:55object mode. That's just a little tip,
23:56guys. It's It's really not that deep.
23:59It's just a little tip.
24:01Whenever you're moving your rigs, I
24:03would just move them like this unless
24:05it's a part of the animation, right?
24:07Unless it's a part of the animation,
24:09then just move them like this. And also,
24:12uh in this file, there's auto keying
24:14involved. So, you want to make sure that
24:16when you're actually moving these, what
24:18can happen sometimes accidentally, you
24:21can go ahead and go into let's say let's
24:23say I I'm like, all right, let me just
24:25move this rig, but I don't notice that
24:28I'm not on frame zero. And what this
24:30does, it it it makes an animation,
24:32right? And you usually don't want this
24:34and you might be like sitting there for
24:35hours like, what is happening? Why why
24:37is this like this? It's because you were
24:40not on frame zero. Every time you're
24:41moving anything in object mode or
24:44anything in
24:45in a file in a Blender file that has
24:48auto keying, you need to keep in mind
24:50that every single thing you move, even
24:52in object mode, not only in pose mode,
24:55it's going to make a keyframe at at
24:58at which point you're you're located in
25:00the timeline. I hope you understand what
25:02I mean by that and we're going to head
25:04over into the final section of this
25:06video. In the last section, I want to
25:07focus on some of the problems you guys
25:09were having from from the beginner
25:11guide. The most infamous problem was the
25:13purple rig. It's like this is like an
25:16event in history that has happened at
25:18this point. Like it's so so widespread.
25:21If you look at the comments of my
25:23beginners guide, you're going to see so
25:24many people wondering, "Why is my rig
25:26purple? Where is the texture of my rig?"
25:29And it's the most funny and I don't want
25:31to laugh at you guys, but like whoever
25:34had that problem, like
25:36I just find it funny because it's the
25:38most easy fix ever. And what happens or
25:41why your rig is purple or why it has a
25:43missing texture is because you haven't
25:46extracted the files, guys. When you
25:48download anything from the internet,
25:50it's in a zip file or it's in a RAR
25:52file. You have to actually drag that
25:55folder, the actual folder, the Blender
25:58tutorial tutorial files folder, you
26:00actually go ahead and drag it over to
26:02your desktop or wherever you want it to
26:04be and you just need this this file,
26:07this little, you know, R61 text, the
26:10actual texture, it needs to be in the
26:12same directory. It needs to be in the
26:14same location or else Blender is not
26:16going to be able to find this. But yeah,
26:18that that was a little funny thing.
26:20That was probably the most common
26:22problem. And the second problem is
26:25actually importing the animations and I
26:27feel like I kind of did a pretty bad job
26:30at explaining how to import these. So,
26:32let's go over that again. When you're in
26:34object mode, you select the rig, you
26:36press N, and you go ahead and scroll. I
26:40have a lot of, you know, different
26:41add-ons here. You're probably going to
26:43have way less stuff,
26:45but you're going to go into RBX
26:47animations. As you can see, it's
26:48vertical, so it might be a little hard
26:50to read, but you have this add-on. If
26:52you have the Blender tutorial files, you
26:54have this add-on. If you don't have this
26:55add-on, once again, go ahead and watch
26:57the beginner guide. I'm going to show
26:58you how
26:59it's shown there how to install this,
27:02but you're going to need this add-on.
27:04And what you do is export animation.
27:07Now, some people in the comments were
27:09telling others to export animation to
27:12file, which this you you can do this,
27:15but in my opinion, it's kind of
27:18unnecessary because
27:20what this does is when you when you
27:22press this button, it's going to show up
27:24like a little text here, "Baked
27:26animation data exported to the system
27:28clipboard." So, what you do with this is
27:29go into Roblox Studio, and you're going
27:31to need two plugins. Basically, one for
27:34inserting characters. The best one is
27:36Moon Animator. I'm going to explain why
27:37it's the best one in a second. So, I'm
27:39going to go ahead and insert one with
27:41Moon Animator. And I'm also going to
27:43show you how to do this if you don't
27:45have any play paid plugin. There's also
27:47Load Character Lite.
27:49Now, I don't really like this one
27:51because what it does is if I go ahead
27:53and type my name here, Nisky Blocks,
27:55that's what I'm called on Roblox. If you
27:56buy my post pack and send me a DM on
27:59Discord with proof, I'm going to go
28:01ahead and add you on Roblox, all right?
28:03So, I'm going to go ahead and spawn my
28:05character here, and this is why I don't
28:06like Load Character Lite. You know, it
28:08doesn't actually put my head in there.
28:10Just like it looks weird, dude. There's
28:12also another one I found. It's called
28:14Load Character something. I'm going to
28:16go ahead and
28:17leave a link down below in the
28:18description, but this one is slightly
28:20better. As you can see, it actually puts
28:22my head here, and I feel like they're
28:24exactly the same. So,
28:27what we're going to do is we're going to
28:28go ahead and select this one. Actually,
28:30hold on. Which one is it? Okay, let me
28:31delete these just so it's not confusing.
28:33So, the reason the Moon Animator's
28:35inserter is a little bit better
28:37and it's just slightly better and it's
28:39because it actually anchors the parts.
28:41So, if if we go into the Blender
28:43Animations plugin, it's just to show you
28:46"Rig primary part is not anchored. Now,
28:49we can quickly see what the primary part
28:51is so we know which part to anchor. And
28:54as you can see over here, if we just
28:55hover over
28:57our rig or our model, we can see primary
29:00part is the humanoid root part. So, we
29:02go into the humanoid root part and we're
29:04simply going to anchor this. Anchored.
29:06Boom. Now, that's anchored and we can
29:08finally insert the animation. That's
29:11literally the problem 99% of you guys
29:14were having. And all you need to do is
29:16just pay attention because it's
29:18literally it literally said over there
29:20it's not anchored. That's why it wasn't
29:21working or that's why it wasn't working
29:23for you. I haven't tested it out. But
29:25you go ahead and import animation from
29:26clipboard and make sure you still have
29:29that copied. And what I And what it does
29:31is just boom. All right, it plays it
29:34plays the animation. That's done. You
29:35got your animation in in Roblox Studio.
29:38It would have been faster if I wasn't
29:40explaining this, but you can literally
29:41do this in
29:43under 10 seconds maybe. I don't
29:45Actually, actually that's a little bit
29:46of a
29:47over exaggeration. Maybe like 30
29:49seconds. From here, all you do is select
29:52the animation priority. This is an idle
29:54so I'm going to select it to idle. And
29:56we're going to
29:58upload animation to Roblox. And we're
30:00going to go ahead and title this idle.
30:02We're going to save this.
30:04And you know, if you have Moon Animator,
30:06you can actually go ahead and we're
30:08going to make another rig here because
30:10the Moon Animator rig is slightly
30:12better. We're also going to rename this
30:14because it cannot be the same name. I'm
30:17going to go into Moon Animator new rig
30:19animation. File, import, Roblox, idle,
30:24import, okay.
30:26And boom.
30:28We've got our idle. We've got our
30:29animation here. All you need to do is
30:31select toggle loop.
30:33And boom. That's our Blender animation
30:37in Roblox even with the free one
30:41even with the free character. I've
30:43managed to do it. Uh you just have to
30:45hide the name and anchor the part.
30:47That's all you need to do, and it's
30:48going to be literally the same avatar as
30:52you would get from Moon Animator. Super
30:54cool, super easy. You don't have to pay
30:57for Moon Animator to actually, you know,
30:59import animations. Some of Some people
31:02thought that's the case, but it really
31:04isn't. It just makes it like one step
31:07easier. It just makes it a little bit
31:10easier if you have Moon Animator, but
31:12that's all.
31:13>> She said she loves [music] the islands.
31:16Turn around, I see you shining. Now,
31:19[music] now
31:20I need you by my side. Can you join me
31:24for the night?
