Hey i got a question, when you try to hold a weapon in real life, your hands isn't still, and its moving because of the weight and all that, how to animate this?

Great video Harvey. An Art director have got back to me saying Ai prompters just can't get the directors vision right. He said he asked a prompter over 50 times to change certain parts of a concept art for an environment. Eventually, the prompter got fed up, and they had to get a concept artist to paint it.

The catering to a specific studio has not gone away at all. So many, no matter how small the team, will still hold out for an animator that has what they are already doing. Variety is still not as attractive as one would think it is.

Nice video again and great new background ! This Year I've been doing my best to get my name out there in social media. 😊 it does feel fulfilling when getting positive feedback ❤

Nice one Harvey, great video!

Awesome vid.

Someone has grown a nice beard and audience over the last years. Congratulations mate :)

AI will also not make things easier...

Awesome video..keep making the videos...your videos are inspiring for me to become a better animator

Good pick...Can't wait to get mine🎉🎉🎉

are you using 3ds max?

I think that this is a double edged sword in some cases. One of the things about a PM or Producer is that they need to be a "Swiss Army Knife" for the company. Maybe they don't need to be but from the perspective of executive management I would postulate that a Swiss army knife is better than a spoon. If an employee is designed to stir soup and you put them into a job where they are required to turn over the burgers you might have an issue. In a perfect world (from the perspective of a DEV) it would certainly help to have a producer who is aware of the difficulty of a given task by way of experience. Typically though, in the real world players don't really get to pick their coach and there is a reason for that. If I were (and I am not) an executive who made decisions regarding who to hire as a producer I would pick a candidate who was versatile over one who was specifically good at producing a single discipline. If I pick the person who was an animator to manage animation element of a project then the animators might be one of two things - upset because this producer keeps meddling in their business or happy because the producer understands their job and gives them more than enough time to complete those tasks which as a negative possible outcome can cause even more delays. You eluded in the video that as things are produced on time more and more work piles on. That is true for any industry. The sweet spot is to add appropriate caveats and buffers so that your team ends up hero's instead of zero's. What I mean by that is forecasting should always be done with the understanding that things can and will go wrong and should be accounted for not by reaction but by being proactive. If you build space into your timeline and more goes right than wrong, you get to wear the hero hat and take on additional work. The point is PM positions in any company and in any industry are less about knowing the specific technology than they are about having a GOOD philosophy for producing any "complex" product. If you only ever hire specifically talented producers to manage particular arms of projects you will end up letting all of them go every time a project is complete or trying to figure out what to do with them. If you hire versatile well rounded individuals who can learn a rudimentary understanding of those things and have an excellent understanding of diplomacy, negotiation and facilitation you will eventually end up with an individual you can throw at any problem and expect a positive result. I applaud your videos and find them valuable and insightful. This is just an alternative opinion. Thank you very much for doing these!

nice walkthrough, interesting and useful project

It's possible to add 4d depth to a isometric cube, by moving the skew square side along the x axis of the right cube, individually, and leave the left cube unchanged. You can stretching the width of the x axis, for example, in the right line of a 3d stereo image, and also get depth, as shown below. L R |____| |______| TIP: To get the 3d depth, close one eye and focus on either left or right line, and then open it. This because the z axis uses x to get depth. Which means that you can get double depth to the image.... 4d depth??? :O It's even possible to create an isometric/true perspective hybrid, by leaving the north west/south east line unchanged, while adding perspective to the north east/south west line. Would be awesome, if someone make a game (even UA-cam video) that way! Nice video! :-)

Congrats on your new place man!

Sir I can't make animation smooth i need to learn graph editor and twin machine my animation is jerking 😢

Thanks for this video and I appreciate you doing it even without your setup complete. Hopefully you are over the moon with the new place man. Which panels do you recommend to fix your audio echoing/voice, and where would you place them? wall behind computer? sides or behind you?

harvey i know this video is 5 years old but how did you get the keyframe pro to appear so small on the side of the screen?

I can totally relate to this situation! And doing mindful meditation has helped a lot in grounding myself too, specially when fears of the future come my way 🙈

This resonates with me my thirty year anniversary is nocking on the door and the feeling of uncertainty can be crushing to be honest I don't have a girlfriend or a child and i can't imagine what you are going through but family support really is helpful your wife is incredibly supportive and that is everything, unlike me depression sometimes kicks in I recently started doing night walks and meditating which is helpful but not enough I can be hard on myself but I'll do my best . Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing man! Striving for a more satisfying life is difficult for anyone but definitely admirable. Big moves out of the comfort zone are always tough but rarely regretted. It's always better to try whatever you feel you want to do. Keep up the good work! Love and Respect! :)

I created a mirror table but when i mirror any poses i make, it indeed does mirror them but scrambles the poses a bit, moving one leg too far or rotating a foot i did not rotate in the initial pose. Why does it do that? Did i make a mistake?

HARVEY have you ever read the book named PEAK?

congratulations on the move.) with your persistence you are destined for success)

Thanks 👍

Hello sir, im a 3d cgi animator. (From 11 years) But now i want to switch to gameing. Can you suggest me something right now? What should I focus on for gaming that will be good for me to learn gaming?

So true man!

Glad the moving part is over and the family is starting to settle in their new environment. "Oogway (Kung Fu Panda): Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." 'Living in the Now' is easier said than done too! ...just Keep on Keepin' On! You got this!!! ...and open a window! LOL -Cheers! AJ

These are amazing pointers, and things people don't tell that much. The tips about staying positive and be prepared are the most important, to me! I just got fired from my first indutry job which I had for 3 years, so I think if I'd watched this video earlier, it would've been so helpful! hahaha but I'm glad I found it now. Amazing content!

Please pay attention to your sound gain next time. it is super low. thanks

Hey man! Really cool stuff, and so I wanted to tell you that you can link the video in the short so that you don't have to put it in the description. Cheers!

All Facts!!

Amazing video Harvey. It’s a treasure of info and tips, I’m graduating from a 3D program this month. Couldn’t be better timing !

Underrated creator

Thanks for the video, is Agora still working well for you and I was just looking into freelancing out of curiosity so helpful video

Very helpful for people with ADHD.

What book?

do you have anything you reccomend for poeple wanting to make animations and who also want to play games with high storage? (i know nothing about computers)

All the best with your new home to you and your wife and kids I home yous are happy with the job me and my work friend done it was very nice to meet yous ❤

Can you make tutorial pose editor and expression editor

Thank you! This video was exactly what I needed !

That's exactly my approach but as a comic book artist. I work on freelance projects for publishers and dedicate my spare time (NOT during crunch periods) to developing my own IP. I hone my skills by giving my best for my clients as I'm paid for that, then use my "leveled skills" on my creator-owned project. But... I confess... I'm making some animation here and there for my own ad campaign. And I liked it. Then I made it my hobby with full passion. Before that, I used to make some pretty awful little games as a hobby. XD

I keep getting this error (MAYA2022) Error: NameError: file <maya console> line 1: name 'potSelectionIntoField' is not defined

No such thing as a finished animation... we just let it go :-) Great advice Harvey!

I literally said to my wife yesterday, "oh I really love waking up early these days, having my coffee, world still quiet and get stuff done!" haha.

Sir do you know tool any tool where I can do mirror perfectly in maya

Thanks for the book recommendation. I'm definitely gonna give it a read once I get the chance. I'm surely one of those night owls trying to extend my days and trying to get as many things done, as possible. 😅 But I realised recently that it really helps to switch off from work as soon as you can and enjoy your life away from the screen. Helps you keep your mind fresh and energetic for the next workday.

I am not going through this amount of stress (been there already when I moved from Brazil to Europe with 2 teenagers😂 )...but I will definitely take a look into this book. I started to realize a while ago how much I am productive in the mornings, but always struggling to get them working properly, because you know...working late, lack of a healthy routine, but I started paying more attention to that, and setting up better flows, better food, more consistent exercise, reading time and boom!!! Better mornings were essential to everything else, like a core time for the whole day to work better...so I am always looking into "mornings way of life" as much as I can... I wish you and the family enjoy as much as possible from this moving...as much as it looks stormy now, be sure the calm times are short ahead! hang in there! 😉 Maybe you have already read it, but if you allow me a recommendation...there is a small book, small jewel, that I really loved...called Ikigai, if you had not read it, it is a nice piece of wisdom. 🙏
