Today on Will Gibbons | 3D Rendering, we delve into the intricate art of transferring animations from the mighty Blender to the formidable KeyShot. For those seeking to add a touch of flair to their renders with complex deformations, this tutorial is your ticket to success. In the realm of Blender, keyframes are the unsung heroes, dictating the movements of bones within the Armature to achieve that perfect bend or stretch. But fear not, KeyShot stands ready to embrace these animations, welcoming FBX sequences and Alembic sequences with open arms. However, tread carefully when exporting from Blender, for the devil lies in the details of the FBX settings.
As the Buckle bends and twists in the digital wind, KeyShot beckons, offering a platform to bring these animations to life. Yet, a word of caution echoes through the halls of KeyShot – motion blur may not play ball as expected. The solution? A touch of Clarkson-esque ingenuity. Stretch the animation in Blender, a factor of 32, before export, unleashing a torrent of substeps to appease the motion blur gods. The result? A smoother, more refined visual feast for the eyes. And fear not the bloating of your FBX files, for in the grand scheme of things, the difference is but a mere trifle.
But wait, there's more! Will Gibbons | 3D Rendering unveils the Kesha Animation Master Class, a 20-hour odyssey through the realms of product animation. From inception to delivery, this course is your guiding light in the often murky waters of animation creation. Back in Blender, a deft touch on the Armature, a scaling by 32, and lo and behold, the animation is reborn, ready to conquer KeyShot once more. As the Buckle dances to the tune of your commands, motion blur now a friend, not a foe, the marriage of Blender and KeyShot is a match made in digital heaven. So, take heed, aspiring animators, for the road to rendering glory is paved with keyframes, settings, and a dash of Clarkson-esque wisdom.
