00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:01.404
Hello,

00:00:01.612 --> 00:00:03.691
welcome to another video

00:00:03.692 --> 00:00:05.823
of the Blender Animation Workflow Tutorials.

00:00:05.824 --> 00:00:07.903
On this video, I'm going to show you

00:00:07.904 --> 00:00:08.892
some of the Graph Editor Tools.

00:00:09.724 --> 00:00:12.167
The first one is Pivot Point.

00:00:12.168 --> 00:00:14.923
As in the Viewport, you can use G to translate,

00:00:14.924 --> 00:00:17.679
R to rotate, and S to scale in the Graph Editor.

00:00:18.824 --> 00:00:21.111
In Blender, the Graph Editor

00:00:21.112 --> 00:00:22.724
also has a Pivot Point.

00:00:23.504 --> 00:00:26.103
Can access the Pivot Point by pressing ".",

00:00:27.456 --> 00:00:29.379
the same shortcut to access the Pivot Point

00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:30.836
on the Viewport.

00:00:32.136 --> 00:00:33.800
The different Pivot Points are,

00:00:35.568 --> 00:00:36.712
Bounding Box,

00:00:37.336 --> 00:00:39.623
pivot around the center of the selected keys,

00:00:44.668 --> 00:00:46.799
2D Cursor, pivot around the 2D Cursor,

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.192
in this case, the blue cross,

00:00:57.148 --> 00:00:59.799
Individual Centers pivot around

00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:01.048
each individual origin.

00:01:05.936 --> 00:01:08.847
As an example of how to combine the Pivot Point

00:01:08.848 --> 00:01:10.823
with other tools in the Graph Editor,

00:01:10.824 --> 00:01:14.099
I'm going to show you how we flip a F Curve.

00:01:16.336 --> 00:01:18.467
Now, I'm going to change the Pivot Point

00:01:18.468 --> 00:01:19.768
to Bounding Box Center,

00:01:20.912 --> 00:01:23.667
now the Pivot Point is doing an average

00:01:23.668 --> 00:01:25.800
between this one and this one.

00:01:27.048 --> 00:01:29.804
Then when I click S to Scale,

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.548
Y to scale it only in the Y axis,

00:01:33.912 --> 00:01:37.291
then I'm going to press -1 in the numpad.

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:40.880
So now I flip the curve

00:01:41.556 --> 00:01:42.700
with a simple trick.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.548
The next one is Proportional Editing.

00:01:46.756 --> 00:01:48.835
You are able to transform the selected keys

00:01:48.836 --> 00:01:51.435
while having the transform

00:01:51.436 --> 00:01:52.580
affects the nearby keys.

00:01:53.412 --> 00:01:55.491
The shortcut to activate this one is by pressing O,

00:01:55.492 --> 00:01:58.767
or by going into the icon on the top right.

00:02:00.224 --> 00:02:02.511
Here, you can also change the falloff time.

00:02:03.968 --> 00:02:06.567
Once activated, if you move something,

00:02:06.568 --> 00:02:08.492
it will move the elements nearby.

00:02:09.012 --> 00:02:11.300
To increment or decrease the falloff,

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:13.900
you have to move the mouse wheel.

00:02:14.992 --> 00:02:17.591
The next one is Normalized Curve.

00:02:17.592 --> 00:02:20.348
The maximum and minimum value of the F Curve

00:02:20.556 --> 00:02:22.792
equals 1 or -1.

00:02:23.468 --> 00:02:25.547
It is really useful when you are working on

00:02:25.548 --> 00:02:27.523
different curves with really different values.

00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:31.267
So you normalize and you can work on all of them

00:02:31.268 --> 00:02:33.347
at the same time without having
 to zoom in or out constantly.

00:02:37.092 --> 00:02:39.379
Now I'm going to show you what these four icons

00:02:39.380 --> 00:02:40.680
over here do.

00:02:41.148 --> 00:02:43.904
First one is "Only Selected Channel".

00:02:44.424 --> 00:02:46.503
That means when you activate this one,

00:02:47.804 --> 00:02:50.247
you will only see in the Graph Editor

00:02:50.248 --> 00:02:51.548
the selected object.

00:02:51.756 --> 00:02:54.304
Right now, I only see the selected one.

00:02:54.512 --> 00:02:56.280
But if I deactivate this one,

00:02:56.748 --> 00:02:59.191
I will see this object, or the other one,

00:02:59.192 --> 00:03:00.700
or every bone that's in the scene.

00:03:01.948 --> 00:03:03.456
The second one that's represented h

00:03:03.612 --> 00:03:06.367
with the ghost is called "Include Invisible Object".

00:03:06.368 --> 00:03:09.435
So if one object of the scene is not visible,

00:03:09.436 --> 00:03:12.192
I press H to hide it.

00:03:14.168 --> 00:03:15.624
Now if I click this one,

00:03:16.404 --> 00:03:18.848
I have this one unselected,

00:03:20.304 --> 00:03:21.136
it will appear.

00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:25.347
The third one that is represented

00:03:25.348 --> 00:03:26.336
with a warning icon

00:03:26.804 --> 00:03:29.248
is called "Include Disabled Channel".

00:03:29.612 --> 00:03:31.900
This will only show the selected cursor or drivers

00:03:32.056 --> 00:03:34.447
that are disabled or have errors.

00:03:35.436 --> 00:03:37.567
To be completely honest, I never use this one.

00:03:38.504 --> 00:03:39.700
And I think it's useful.

00:03:40.636 --> 00:03:42.455
The last one is called Ghost Absurb.

00:03:42.456 --> 00:03:45.003
It's also represented by the ghost icon.

00:03:46.668 --> 00:03:48.955
With this one, if you click it,

00:03:48.956 --> 00:03:50.879
it will create a ghost of the curve

00:03:50.880 --> 00:03:51.712
you have selected,

00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:53.999
and you can use it as a visual clue, for example.

00:04:00.656 --> 00:04:02.579
If you want update again,

00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:03.256
you have to click it

00:04:04.504 --> 00:04:06.011
and then click it again. So then

00:04:06.012 --> 00:04:07.312
you will have another ghost.

00:04:10.848 --> 00:04:12.199
And the last thing I'm going to show you

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:14.800
in this video are Modifiers.

00:04:15.736 --> 00:04:17.555
One of the most interesting features

00:04:17.556 --> 00:04:18.804
of the Graph Editor

00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.611
is that you can add Modifiers to the F Curve.

00:04:23.068 --> 00:04:25.200
To create a modifier, you have to select

00:04:25.356 --> 00:04:26.136
a curve,

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.580
then open the End Menu,

00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:31.180
click the Modifier tab,

00:04:31.856 --> 00:04:34.403
and then go to Add Modifier. The first

00:04:34.404 --> 00:04:35.599
you will one I'm going to show you is called Cycles.

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.355
Is the way to make an F Curve cyclic

00:04:38.356 --> 00:04:39.812
 in Blender.

00:04:41.580 --> 00:04:44.023
These are the Modifier, which are options,

00:04:44.024 --> 00:04:46.468
like Repeat With Offset,

00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:50.523
to repeat the cycle from infinity

00:04:50.524 --> 00:04:51.200
and to infinity.

00:04:53.124 --> 00:04:54.891
Another interesting modifier for

00:04:54.892 --> 00:04:56.868
animation is called Noise.

00:04:57.700 --> 00:04:59.935
With it, we can create a nicer curve.

00:05:00.768 --> 00:05:02.691
Here we have all the different

00:05:02.692 --> 00:05:04.199
options to change the way the Noise behave.

00:05:05.656 --> 00:05:08.099
This concludes this video.

00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:10.023
Thank you so much for watching

00:05:10.024 --> 00:05:10.700
and see you on the next one.
