How To Master Spider-Man Animations in Blender 

That's honestly one of the best things to hear, now go out there and make some cool stuff!

​@@Regoliste999 missed calls from marvel studio's.great job bro, do more videos bro

​@@bhanu2dcreations390 bro ur wrong🤦🏾‍♂️... He has a million missed calls from marvel 😂

real

Thanks! Yeah AI has been terrific at improving my creative workflow, it's also super fun to have something of this scale come together so fast.

I'm glad you really enjoyed the content! Which video did you like most by the way?

@@Regoliste either this one or the first Spider-Man animation!

​@@Marvel_MotionsHaha no surprise there if you're crazy about superheroes

Hey thanks Benji for your continuous hype and support throughout my channel. It's people like you that make me keep going :)

glad to hear that :) @@Regoliste

Thanks Man! Yeah I hope so, I really wanted it to stand out

Hey glad you enjoyed it man!

Glad you like it

So glad man! That's exactly what I was going for

@@RegolisteAnd you nailed it!

Thank you for watching

Animation is really good but can you make a full length video for this ?​@@Regoliste

Full tutorial is dropping next week ;)

Agreee 🎉

Hey thanks for sharing your thoughts. I understand the hesitation. Though while AI can automate certain aspects of animation, it's important to remember that it's just an tool like any other software or technique in the evolving creative world. In this case I used an AI based technology that was trained on datasets of custom mocap data to generate custom walk/run cycles. By having the tedious aspects automated, I could focus on the actual swinging mechanics of Spider-Man, which I think is pretty cool. I think embracing new technologies doesn't diminish the value of traditional animating skills, just opens up more possibilities for creativity and efficiency. Hope this perspective helps! Keep animating and explore what works best for you.

@@Regoliste I understand what ur saying. I’m not opposed to AI being used to assist in animation. Like the AI used in Spiderverse to create comic lines on the characters. I think the problem comes solely when people try to ONLY use AI to make an animation. But u still put a lot of effort into this, and as I said before, REALLY great video!

Believe me it's ready to go! I've been on vacation and as soon as I get back the video goes up

Thank you so much bro@@Regoliste

Thanks!

Just checked your 2099 one, awesome stylization right there

Thanks bro! I started blender like 4 years ago when I wanted to make some cool gaming renders as a kid, now the potential is limitless, keep going man! Blender's only a tool we learn to help us achieve our imagination. I'm dropping a full tutorial on this scene soon so stay tuned.

Thanks :)

Yeah cloth sims were the only big thing I missed. I tried to get them going but it just bogged down my project so much it wasn't worth it Maybe next time though!

I appreciate that man! The old spider-man video started the same but somehow crawled to a million views lmao

I think I scavenged it from pinterest, it's not even that great but clean enough so I could modify it with DALLE 2, custom road lines and then upscaling. It's pretty quick and dirty to be honest, but it worked super well in my scenario because of the sunlight.

Thanks, what do you mean tho?

I try to keep things fun with animations instead!

Hello!

hi

Hey! You talking about the part where I apply a mixamo control rig? Or the part where the empty he's parented to is following the curve path?

I mean when the character is on the path, your character doesn't rotate on the path. But mine does. I had to keyframe every single frame to make it work. Very tedious. I also had some problems with the retargeting of the animation. Tried to do it with a mixamo rig, the arms and legs got messed up. @@Regoliste

@@Rassick_ Well it's hard for me to elaborately explain the process in a single comment, but the empty that spider man's connected to has a follow path constraint that's animated, it's important to adjust the the path direction with all the xyz and -xyz stuff , not sure where your rotation is coming from, as for retargeting it's best to work on everything at the world orgin, applying all transforms and go through the steps slowly. I got a 40+ minute tutorial on this dropping next week, and you can also check out Peter France's spider-man tutorial series since he does a curve path there as well.

Ok, Thank you!@@Regoliste

Don't worry lil bro it's dropping soon

@@Regoliste good to hear 🤣

Haha how did you notice?

@@Regoliste because I'm trying to do my animation with my own but to be honest it's kind of hard actually 🤣

@@giovenofficial Dude I'm so excited to drop the 40 minute tutorial tomorrow!

​@@Regoliste ME TO I'M REALLY SO EXCITE!!

Hey, I'm planning to drop it in the next week or two, it's like a massive video and you won't regret sticking around.

Check out the ultimate tutorial for that answer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U5wTEuJBu30.htmlsi=KZDvMH4oKEcGm-wu

There's a linked 40+ min tutorial with all the links to resources you need to make this yourself: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U5wTEuJBu30.html

@@Regoliste oh thanks!

To each their own I suppose. But I'd argue that the curve path is easier. Having a set curve path allows for greater flexibility when crafting a trajectory or aerial route and ensures easy keyframable speed and control. Getting a similar result by moving him manually through the air feels way more challenging to acomplish and presents some rigid circumstances that are hard to change.

@@Regoliste yeah maybe you're right. I'm just saying that because some days ago I tried that and editing the curve mostly change the animation (timing and path shape) then i dropped the whole project lol. Then tried to animate it manually it feels easier

That'd look cool as well, but I'd say showcasing a wide view of Spider-Man falling through New York is more immersive

Sure! It's all about building your scene up slowly and efficiently, optimizing memory, minimizing number of objects and finally have patience for longer render times.

Hey thanks! Haha speak for yourself but I have no interest in spending weeks stressing over custom run animations or painting my own textures! I have plenty of fun and creativity in the manual layering, modelling, keyframing, retargeting, texturing, compiling and problem solving that goes into the final shot.

Who said animating is stressful? It's the fun of creating whole worlds and moving them forward that intises you to keep moving, thats the fun of animation. Not having ai do it for you.

Ahh well hey it's definitely fun sometimes, but I'm not an animator, or texture designer. I consider myself a composition artist, and I absolutely like it that way, I enjoy the process of compiling a final cinematic scene much more than the focus on creating everything myself. Personally, there's no inherent reason not to embrace the newest resources, assets and tools that exist today to improve one's workflow or creative result. I think it's a little deeper than 'having ai do it for you'. The ethically trained locomotion datasets and midjourney's niche building descriptions are only a small piece of the much bigger picture. I know this short little video overlooks a lot and for the sake of infotainment is edited to be light and easy but my 43 min alternate tutorial goes on to show a lot more on my manual efforts. I've seen your recreation of my last spider-man vid, you've probably improved a ton since then

@@Regoliste Yeah you're right dude. It's a lot deeper than just ai. And yeah when it comes to 3D everyone has they're different profession. And I've improved a lot since I made that. Keep up the good work dude!

The mixamo addon has worked fined for my Blender 4.0, try redownloading it from their page, also hang in there, in a week I'm dropping a 40+ minute tutorial on this scene.

Thanks ♥@@Regoliste

I used frame interpolation and time remapping in after effects to control and create a slow mo effect

Bro what?

Hey! Sorry about that, I basically future preped this video and I'm actually dropping the 45 min tutorial next week, cause it needs some final touches, stay tuned :D. Also if you want to know early, just search up 'mwni blender animation retargeting' found on github :)

Hey stay tuned, I'm planning to drop it in the next week or two, it's a massive video and I want to make sure it's the best

I'm not allowed to redistribute assets that's included in my project file, but I'll drop a full in-depth tutorial on building this scene up with links to everything you need soon. For reference I have 32GB RAM, RTX 3070. Project file is around 1GB and rendering time was around 160 seconds per frame

The buildings are imported using Google Maps data with the Blosm addon. But I've made some building model assets available for free on my patreon. Full tutorial on the scene dropping soon.

but overall great video ngl

which part of the vid?

Couldn't agree more, in 2024 AI has so much potential to improve our productivity in every aspect.

@@Regoliste I agree. tho tbh its sad that some ai stuff is paid

Yeah I know what you mean, Blender's free and has literally changed the creative world forever. Still though, research start ups fued by profits do innovate the best and create bleeding-edge products like Midjourney. It's when it gets too giant and corporate like Adobe where it gets more worrying.

What's not free?

XDDDD
