Make your Characters Interactive! - Animation Rigging in Unity 

I miss Brackeys, he explains things so well and doesn't make me feel dumb

me : omg , this is useful, I'm gonna use it for my Game. me 10 years later: still watching Tutorials and not releasing 1 single game.

Brackeys: oh....and also this video is sponsored by.. Audience: *U N I T Y* 👁️👄👁️

“Let’s rig up our rig”, sounds fun

I was literally researching this RIGHT NOW for my VR devlog series. Brackeys did it again. Always there where you need him

He looks so happy and I can't help myself starting to smile just like him

Dito. I was looking at rigging and Avatars for my Antilatency unit. There were no good tutorials and Brackey comes through with the goods as always. You're the man!

I'm really grateful for you reading my mind Brackeys!! I just learned this yesterday, and implemented it today, now you are teaching it!!

i LOVE IT!!! I was searching this for months! But nobody really did this:/ Thanks for the great tutorials not just in this video, in all of them! You helped me a LOT!

I was just looking for this EXACTLY

Even in 2021 this tutorial is crystal clear about what can be done with Animation rigging. Miss you Brackeys. :)

Great tutorial and funny too! Loved the "I'm here!" hand raising for skeletal roll call. You would have been great as a fellow demo artist back in the day at Alias|Wavefront. :)

Whenever I try to learn Unity Animation my brain goes *duh* Edit : 2 months later, I can smoothly make any animation, do quick transitions, set bool, everything! I cant believe I did it!

Thank you! I’m working with my FPS project and was trying to make a way for the camera view to have the arms follow with a full character model. This saves a ton of time, thank you sooo much!

Watched a couple of animation rigging videos. Finally, Brackeys still one of the best and explained everything so well. Thx!

Great Job on this video Brackeys! You always make the right videos when the right people need them!

i just searched for this topic 2 h ago and couldn't find a good tutorial. and now u made one :O

Thanks for using this knight asset! It's always my go-to for animation testing.

This guy has a perk named best at explaining and needling that inside brain.

I didn’t even search for this, but this is all I needed

I have been waiting for this for soo long from him just because I find it easyer to learn from a brackeys tutorial from others

Finally! I’ve been waiting for such a tutorial forever.

Andreas: What should we do for the next video? Asbjorn: Let me use telepathy to learn what the subscribers are Searching for.

If you're having issues with the top of the head pointing towards the object, check "Aim Axis" under Multi-Aim Constraint. This Aim Axis is the local "forward" of the constrained object. So click on the constrained object, look at its local axis's, and then choose the Aim Axis as the one that is forward.

This video popped up when I needed it the most. Hope you are enjoying your retirement!

That is what i was exactly looking for! Thank you for this explanation.

Great, thanks to this I will can bin all those codes I had writen to manage these kind of things. This new system looks more flexible than what i had. Thank you for the video, it was nice, enjoyable and direct to the core.

So last night I literally started from scratch looking at Blender and rigging Tuts... then Brackeys does this. The guy has telepathy I swear.

Holy moly, that is a very nice final music!

Holy crap I've been looking for a tutorial on this for soooo long. Thank you so much!

That's Exactly what I'm looking for!!! thank you so much BRACKEYS ♥️♥️♥️

Thanks. Three years later this is still a great intro.

Okay this isn't funny anymore I googled an animation rig three hours ago

Amazing, simple, short and informative like always

Brackeys thank you for providing this video 10 minutes before I start a project

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I really appreciate your effort and time that you put into this work. Stay blessed all the time.

Brilliant! Just what I needed for my new game. Also inspired me to bite the bullet and take a wild leap into version 2020.

When ur doin a game jam and time is precious but there is a new brackeys video u know I'm going to watch it

Really good stuff! thanks for making this

Thank you so much Brackeys! This is just what I needed!!

Finally ! U made a video about animation rigging.awesome

Brackey should collab with dani, they would make insane games!!

It's awesome when you upload a video about a topic I'm searching out

Why now I removed a feature just for this from my game because I'cant figure out animation rigging and after a week brackeys make a video about it

Wow very cool, thanks for showing this off!

"John,are you there?"...LOL......

very pretty useful and perfect explained info! thank you!

Excellent explanation! Thanks for posting.

Wonderful video as always. I'd love a tutorial on character animation and blend trees! It's very tricky setting up a character with walk, run, jump etc.

Yes! Thank you so so so much for this! I have been having so much trouble with animations to a point that I quit projects and start a new one. I have so many unfinished animations because I just dislike the result. Now I can do it correct. Ya tha best!

I would see more videos from you about the new early access features in unity, you really the best who can explain everything:)

Excellent video as usual, Brackeys. You are missed!

Oh my god thank you I've been stuck on this problem for like 2 weeks now I know what to do

This is just what I was looking for and at the right time. I'm trying to get my characters hand to rotate on the x axis with the cameras rotation

Damn, that was good. I cant wait to play around with it!

Still one of the best videos for Animation Rigging.

Thank you so much Brackeys

this is going to save me so much time and money. Kudos!

Thank you for mentioning this video!

this is very cool i can see many use cases for this

OMG thats so amazing. Unity thank you so much!

Thank you it was very fun to follow and thats great tutorial

I really needed this tutorial!!

I'm sure at this point Brackeys somehow knows the most googled game development topics as of recent and just makes videos off of that.

I was thinking about creating a game prototype that would be heavily built around animations and this is exactly what i wanted

So cool! ty for teaching me about this!

You guys rock these are so helpful!

The best video so far, thank you !!!

Thank you sm, worked like a charm!

Top notch tutorial. Amazing.

This was a great video. Also, I suddenly want to make a "cat following a laser pointer" animation using this.

perfect as always! Thank you

Great tutorial! Continue the good work :)

Man, you're a gem.

Hey Brackeys, I was wondering if you would be able to create a video that further explains how to affect these Animation Rigging components through code? Like the part when you say we should change the IK's target through a script - I can't find any tutorials on how that's done! Love the videos!

I dreamt about this day ♥️ Thanks Unity ♥️

Just the intro probably saved me hours in the long run :D

gotta say what i would do without you my man but i already learned 3D modelling n animations xD still love your work

I just got started with Unity and C#. Its not easy. Game Development is way harder than Web Development. So far I am enjoying it, but I need to commit all the basics to memory. This is in the far distance but its fun watching these videos. Looks like learning Blender and Linear Algebra to be a necessity. Can't wait. Thanks for the video.

Really great video.

Interesting and fun, great video! In 1.5 speed it's even better

This video is so cool! I love it! :D

This is perfect! like just what I need

Omg I was looking for just this for my upcoming game and boom brackeys comes in and saves the day yet again! How tf is this even possible at this point, I cnt tell?!??

Sure glad I learned to program all this manually 😋

Excellent, as always.

again thanks your tutorials are really useful

Thank you so much ! Love your videos

Very very cool!

thank so much i dont know any word better :3 thanks

Nice and clear explanation

Thank you so much dude!! :)

Does anyone have advice on when the Multi-Aim Constraint causes the Head to tilt when moving the Target horizontally in front of the head, instead of rotating normally?

Awesome, Thank You very much!

Unity 3D is my favorite Engine, there are two things I wish I had in it; 1st - The correct way to orbit in the viewport is to just press the (mouse scroll), in SketchUp, this function already comes by default and in 3ds Max, you have to configure it, so it is much more practical to just press the mouse scroll to if orbiting, this is the way it is in several other software, unfortunately in Unity 3D ñ this is the way you have to press (Alt + left mouse button), you have to occupy both hands and this creates a certain discomfort, In other words, you do two jobs and you could only do one, so you want to do two jobs and you can only do one, not to mention that it will take more work and less productivity, this seems to be an insignificant thing ñ it is what it seems because this is one of the functions in which it will be most performed. 2nd - The correct way to zoom in on a certain part of the object, just position the (mouse arrow on a specific point on the object where you want to zoom in) and scroll it (mouse scroll forward), this is how q is in SketchUp and 3ds Max, so it’s much more practical to just position the (mouse arrow on a specific point on the object you want to zoom in) and scroll it (mouse scroll forward), this is how it is in several other software, unfortunately in Unity 3D ñ this is the way to do it you have to press (Alt) Position the (mouse arrow at the point you want to zoom in) and scroll the (mouse scroll), you have to occupy both hands and it generates a certain discomfort, that is, you do two jobs and you could only do one, you want to do two jobs and you can only do one, not to mention it will be more work and less productivity, this seems to be a insignificant thing ñ is what it seems because this is one of the functions in which more will be performed a, share this idea until you reach the developers of this excellent software.

I started working on unity by seeing your videos Iam just a student You inspire me After all I I couldn't find any solution to design a 2D portrait game that is same in all the mobiles with different solution

Thank you so much. this will help me a lot

Thanks for sharing!

I can wait to test this system

I really miss you guys please come back
