Ultimate 3D Minecraft Animation Tutorial

Hello guys this is okinki here and today i’m going to show you how to make minecraft 3d animation so what you need is a program called cinema 4d and you also need the basic minecraft 3 so you have to open your sigma 4d and import the

Rig into it so what you’ll have is you have like minecraft character but you’ll probably get like black ones so what you have to do is you have to press where it says skin texture and click here and just find your minecraft skin or you can use the default one

And this works in most of the skins there’s one little problem with it you know like some skins had like hat thingy and that doesn’t work like what is missing on this skin usually it has hood here and the blue headphones and here it doesn’t work and for some skins

Like cookie monster like it has his eyes are made of that head thingy and he looks pretty weird so you can modify your skin so it looks normal and maybe asking yourself now well i got my character how do i like put him in some kind of pose well you can click you

Have to click here and you will get visual selector and let’s for example take that you wanna move this arm what had to do is you have to press this kind of it’s not a circle but some kind of shape and if you go like if you

Press this you can move it like so like so like so and this is very easy and i know if everybody can animate and the animating is not frame by frame i’ll show you that later so let’s put him in some kind of cool pose actually doesn’t have to be cool just

To see i’ll show you how to like all the stuff works and we can move his legs all right well maybe ask yourself what are these things they’re for rotating your arms and legs so you can see now i can rotate it it also works with legs like so

But also what you can do you can move is hand head and it’s a little bit different because it’s using the rotation tool it’s not using the what it’s called most tool not sure so i mean it’s pretty simple and maybe ask myself well it has really ugly pictures and stuff

What i do well you press this little button here and it gives you kind of a little bit nicer render but it’s still not smooth well what you have to do is you have to press the render settings it’s up here and i’ll show you what i use for my render settings

I think like so and here we go like so and this is anti-aliasing and it smooths the edges of the model and what i usually use is one by one for minimal level and max level sometimes i use two by two sometimes four by four but now we use one for one

Because i’m recording and i want to render build faster install depends on your computer speed if your computer can’t handle it and i use i tried once to use 16 by 16 on max and minimal and it took some time but i could do it and you can use ambient occlusion it also

Takes a lot more time to render it out but it adds some nice shadow effect shader effect to it and you can also use let me see how it’s called global illumination that’s like the feel it looks a little more realistic but now i won’t use that and

Now if you render it you can see it’s taking a little bit longer but it looks a lot better so the next thing maybe as much well i got him in a pose how will now make him like move his arms how to animate him well it’s all about keyframing and about this

Blue bar so let’s take for example you want to move his arm you press this and you want to keyframe it so let’s say it’s disposed and you want like a 10 fps folder and maybe you can make him do this and you keyframe it again and it’s

Pretty simple so now just do this but well and here you can preview it how it looks like and if you want to eat like with his arm faster you can put it on five yes or you want to do it like longer i mean slower through this and if you

Want to do it actually slower you can do this and you can just mess with that and now we can maybe do a little animation here i mean this is all the shitty moves and because i don’t have that much time to like do crazy stuff

I actually now just messed up there but never mind he’s gonna break his arm like so all right we got our animation here well the next thing you can also do it for rotation and let me just show something 30 fps’s as you can see is one second

So you’re gonna have that mind and also you can change that i think it changes some around here yeah here and let’s make his head go crazy he’s gonna break his neck like so so let’s prove this yeah it looks crazy so we can now just render it out here and

This also looks like and let me just show you like a little stuff like a little thing that might help you so maybe later a little tutorial how to import worlds into your like minecraft worlds into cinema 4d but i am trying to do it in this tutorial

Because it takes some time so you can add lights and they’re pretty simple to use just move them around and here it’s you can see now it’s a little brighter here and if you sorry about the group if you render it out and look a little better and if you’re making a

Little bit more complex animations this can help you so oh yeah if visual selector does not work for you you can use this so you can take his arm and move it like so so it’s really easy and when you are like done with the animation what you have to do is you

Have to go here and set everything like i showed you but you have to go to save now and this you will now render or save your animation as like file that you can upload to youtube so you have to press here and save it

When wherever you want and can put it on the desktop and say do it like tutorial and you want to use quicktime movie format and hearing options i like to put it on high and this is very important important to put it on age dot 2 6 6 4 and just click ok

And you’re done pretty much so what you have to do is just close all this and you can press this and it will now start rendering for you it will oh actually there’s one more thing i forgot to show you you need to go all frames and now it will

Render it out frame by frame and it will take a long time if you use more facts and if it a lot more fps’s and thanks for watching i hope this tutorial helped you if you did please leave a like favorite or subscribe thanks for watching and goodbye
