@ValorCatStudios License activation and validation should be back to normal, as well as the website. I truly apologize for the troubles this has caused and I appreciate your patience. Please try activating/validating your license again and let me know if the issue persists.

@ValorCatStudios There's been a major upgrade on our server backend on Thursday, which led to some disruptions that were out of my hand. I've been working around the clock to fix everything and get things up and running.

How to animate spiderman on 2s and the camera on 1s like the Into the Spider-Verse movie in 3 minutes or less with animbot tools. Avoid popping and strobing!! Free rig! Link in the description! youtu.be/U-1wHQMhSAA #3Danimation #SpiderMan #animbot

@Karlsonimation Nailed it!

I love that animbot tutorials stress that people should learn the basics of animation first. People often think that learning tools will make them good artists. Artists need to know what looks good. Then they need to know how to do it quickly. Tools help with the second part.

@dg3duy It also worth mentioning that, you can set hotkeys in animbot without going to the hassle of Maya's hotkey interface.

@mayaanimbot Can it be an option for a future tool?

Magically moves the keys 🪄 Without selecting the keys.🤔 Without selecting the channel box.🤔 Here is the answer to this trick, I hope you enjoy it. 🙌 #3Danimation #animbot #Maya

@dg3duy ...selecting one key, then when you navigate to another frame, use animBot's Smart Go To Next/Previous Keyframe, as it will select that key

@dg3duy Hey Darwin. I'm not entirely sure what I'm missing, but if the missing part is the fact you don't need to select the key, it can be solved by either enabling Sync Selection in Graph Editor (channelbox menu) or by actually...

@jdavisAnimation There's one slider coming that should tackle this, called Gap Stitcher. It works a bit differently, the idea is to fill in the largest value gap:

3 different ways to solve gimbal locks with animBot. There are other ways, but those will usually solve 99.99% of rotation weirdnesses in your animation. BTW, doing all that without @A_Graph_Editor :D animbot.ca #animbot #maya3d

@owenferny Amazing stuff! Having the freedom of switching spaces without marrying them is the most powerful skill to have as a 3D animator, in my opinion. It not only speeds up the work tremendously, but it allows one to tackle complex shots much easier.

Made a video youtu.be/oiKkPJa8LEY Its about: Animation spaces What space things should be in during blocking vs spline Setting spaces up and switching them to make things easier Some AnimBot stuff in there too Thumbnail was fun to make

@OriginalAdric @RitterRav Wow! Yeah, I can totally see that.

Which of these would you like to come first on animBot?

The 24Hr #UltimateAnimChallenge2022 begins FEB 26 @ 9 AM PST! 🏆 YOU could win 2 Years AnimBot Pro License! ✏️ Info & Registration: agora.community/ultimateanimch… @mayaanimbot is created by Alan Camilo for animators to animate faster in Maya! #agorastudio #animchallenge #animation

@RitterRav My last assumption was that it would take 4 months to develop the initial version of animBot, while working a couple hours a day. It took 2 years while working 6-8h a day. I honestly have absolutely no clue how long a picker would take :P

@mayaanimbot Hey, if you did create one what do you the development time would be? Ballpark and I understand things are subject to change.

New video up on how to use animBots Xform Relationship tool to quickly set up animation constraints. Everything happens on the fly, so you don't have to deal with the hassle of Maya's constraints! 🔗 youtu.be/bycG7_9zoKI via @YouTube #animation #maya #animbot #3D #3Danimation

@markj3d @natewinck Sounds good.

@mayaanimbot @natewinck Thanks Alan, I'll try and dig into it with the client and I'll get back to you if I need to dig further. Seems like it's just when we exit the exporter, and that basically exits a python context that restores a ton of data and cleansup after itself.

#animbot #maya3d we have a client reporting our Red9 ProPack exporter crashes on exit of the process but only if AnimBot is loaded and only on a couple of machines. Anybody know what callbacks it's running under the hood that might be getting in the way?

@natewinck @markj3d Let me know if there's something I can do to troubleshoot this.

@markj3d @mayaanimbot

@natewinck @markj3d Hey Mark. Users can check which callbacks animBot is using by right clicking on this tool in the image attached/debug console. My best guess that could be playing a role in this conflict would be Anim Recovery, which is constantly looking for anim curve edits.

this is a GREAT example of how you can use @mayaanimbot's temp controls to make your life far easier by animating MOVEMENT instead of counter animating a buncha controls: youtube.com/watch?v=6xbBy1…
