Easy technique for secondary animation in Blender 

remember guys, theres always an indian from youtube that can explain better than all the teachers out there would. thankyou. i think u people are blessed with simplifying complex understandings.

This is fun but a warning: the reason this works is the way the damped tracks are stacked on each other creates a circular dependency loop, so Blender doesn't immediately find a solution to the pose right away and iterates over time. This is how the wiggle is achieved with no physics. However, if the rig is especially complex or you are expecting deterministic poses, you will need to bake a sim or do some hand animating, unfortunately.

Please put a disclaimer, i got so scared by that hyper realistic snake, i almost had a heart attack

I searched TWO YEARS for this technique. Thank you so much! This is perfect for my rigs!

Ooh, that's a lovely solution for small wobbly animations. Some small tips that you might findusefull for this too: 1. When using the automatic weight paint like this, you should turn off deforme on the bones that doesn't really deforme the snakes. Like the Root bone and last bone in your chain. 2. When setting BBones segments, you can select all the bones you want segments on, and ALT + Left click the value field and type 5. This way you change the value for all the selected bones. ALT clicking any value/property field in Blender allows you to change a value for all selected objects, as long as they actually have that property, saves a lot of time for situations like this

Wow, I was not ready for that transition in the end

Wow!! The final render looks amazing!! Good job!

What you're talking about in this video is more like a bug. It happens because of the limited computation of the damped track constraint. If you don't play frames in order, it won't work properly. If you want to use this method, you'll definitely have to bake action.

absolutely brilliant. and a perfect video length and speed for teaching

This is the most direct and easy to follow tutorial on this. Some get so overly complicated!

hyper realistic snake model

This is hands down one of the best tutorials I have ever seen, funny, simply explained with just a hint of really beautiful music. Perfection! Good job!

Thank you so much!!!! This tutorial solved a huge problem for me

THANK YOU! I've been trying to find a way to animate my character's pigtails without having to move every single bone by hand. Works perfectly!

u are the saviour of the year Nita love u

WOW!!!!! this is so well explained and fixed my fish animation perfectly, THANK YOU!

Very clever! I wasn't sure what you were going to do from the thumbnail but I'm glad I clicked! Thanks for sharing this technique!

That's great, I've been using Blender for years but I've never seen a tutorial so well explained. Thank you!!

hey nita, really good work cheers,

You save my life !!!

Thank you, that was a great tutorial.

I'm so glad you're back! Thanks for your work!

I just learned this technique today but i wouldnt say secondary it just helps with the physics or movement kind of like ik

Genuine lifesaver

Omg!!! Thank u . Ive been trying to find a way to do this. Spring bones Wiggle bones Collision gravity... I will try this one now. ♡♡♡

MUY BUEN VIDEO, GRACIAS.

Thank you allot for this video! I thought I was doomed without an up-to-date bone physics add-on, but this solves my needs quite well!

Thanks very much 😉

thanks

I laughed at "hyperrealistic snake" hehe :) Really cool and fast tutorial :) Thank you so much! Subscribed!!

Thanks

thank you so much been struggling for a couple days now.

WOOWWW!!! Thank you so much!! this is really a time saver!!

thank you so much it's so pretty and helped me a lot in a way you cannot imagine but i a have an issue where it keeps going through the head of my character.

This was super helpful, thank you!

Dang!!! It's a super cool tutorial! Thank you.

Hello! Amazing quick tutorial, very easy to follow and I never found one like that for wobbly rig before! A question: do you think I should use this technique for my hair rig? I have a character with dreadlocks and its awfully hard to rig....

Thank you sooooooooooo much

This is awesome. I've been searching for something like this long time and here ı found. Thanks so much.

Nita... I hope you're somewhere, happily, living out your: Best. Possible. Life...because you are amazing and you deserve. This was THE most difficult instruction to find. I was totally in the same mess @Animiribi was in and you pulled me out--thanks so much! Subbed.

Thanks 👍🙏

I love the tutorial but quick remind, this is not secondary animations heheh. This is follow through and overlapping 😊

О, спасибо!

This gave me some ideas for other bouncy things to animate.

Smart Technique

OMG GENIUS

This tutorial is top notch! Thank you so much!

I love your models! Not just both sides of Medusa in the above video, but the cattle in Holy Ship and the Maui figure holding the hook on your Gumroad. Have you thought about doing videos about making them? Seriously, that Medusa is adorable!

Ha! I was looking up creating "muscle geo" to run a softbody sim on, but this is so much faster for what I need. Thank you for sharing!

Great tutorial, and love the music, it makes it relaxing to watch.

Nice! I'm going to try this on the long floppy ears on my bunny model!!

이처럼 귀여운 강의는 처음이네요. ^^ 💕 멋진 강의 잘 봤습니다.

HOLY!!!!!you saved my day))))))))))))))))

These are some cute snakes. Lovely design.

Hey Nita! Thank you for this tutorial

Awesome mam.. I'll try this ❤

wow your animation is awesome, btw thank you so much for the tutorial

Thank you for this. I'm working on a robot with an antenna and trying to get the antenna to flex with the robot's movement was turning into a headache. Now it's working just as I need it to.

Very useful! Thank you for making this!!

Cutteee

this helps

great solution for a tail! thank you very much! (your character is super cool, btw)

Simply superb

muchas gracias

Thank you a lot! I was waiting for this tutorial for months!

so cool technique

wow!!! it's so simple and yet so good! thank you! 😊😊

thank you, now my hair can wobble

thank you so much for this, i do pretty simple rigs and cant add things like realistic hair or bounce physics, so this was exactly what im looking for!

Very good tutorial

Cool technique, I never used that constrain before ! Thanks for sharing and for making a short tutorial 😁

Thanks, this very smart and very useful!!❤

fire

You are a genius! Thank you! ❤
