Blender Tutorial - Animating Textures with the AnimAll Addon

[Music] so you want to animate textures in blender hey guys welcome back that's by Kai I'm Kai and today we are back in blender once again taking a look at how to animate textures because then you can't do that you can't that's one thing you cannot animate in blender there's no animation features for textures or materials which is kind of a bummer so we actually have an ability to use this use this type of feature which it's called annum all and if we go to use if you go to user preferences we can add the add-on we can just go ahead and type in annum and annum all is right there go ahead and make sure that's checked on hit save user settings and we can close that now we have all that done I'm gonna go ahead and delete everything in my scene I'm sorry default queue budding be dragging a box of everything hitting delete I could probably fault cube well yet we'll use you soon but we'll hit shift a and add in a plane and we will scale that up with the S key maybe s 1.5 now s 2 2 on my numpad to scale it by 2 and really quickly we'll go ahead and change two cycles render and we'll go ahead and make sure that is is all done so I'll go ahead and add in our new texture by hitting new and we'll open up our image all right so I have a glowstone texture that I've created a while ago I'll go to material mode so we can see it and we have to add in our material we'll go ahead and go to the material tab and select the default material use nodes and click this little box on the right hand side and change this to image texture then select our glowstone and now we have it right here and you can see it's not the actual texture is supposed to be the reason is because we have to unwrap it so hit tab at you and then we can just choose unwrap now we have that all good if if you're using a pixel texture like I am you're gonna have to go to user preferences and make sure in system MIT maps is not checked because if it is you can see the difference it makes all right so that looks good the way it is we're gonna go ahead and get into the animation features now we can go ahead and split our window into two by dragging this little this little triangle piece down at the bottom and we'll change this to the uv/image editor on the left hand side there close that a little bit so now you can see we have our texture if we tried to animate something it just wouldn't work there's not even an ability to do that but now we have this animation tab right here because of the annum all add on and this is great because if we were to go ahead and open up our glowstone texture on the left-hand side here you can see if I hit tab we have this nice little box that we always have right you can see our texture moves depending on where it is and loop over and over again for miles and miles and miles but if we wanted to animate that there was no features for that until this anna medellin was the thing so the great thing about this is that if we were to go ahead and go to the first frame i'm gonna go ahead and scroll and turn on magnet mode so it snaps to pixels so it's easier to do but go ahead and do something like that i will go to the first frame I'll make the first frame zero because it's a pet peeve of mine and then we'll make sure you've YZ is checked on this animal tab here on the left hand side let me drag open a little bit and now what we can do is we can make sure that if we go ahead and hit G and move this texture on the left hand side over to the left and then we can go ahead and hit insert and now you can see there's a yellow keyframe down there before there was no ability to do that that's really really pretty cool now I'm gonna go to frame 20 and we're gonna G and then move this back over to where it started then hit insert you can see if I scrub through this nothing's happening the reason for this is because we're still in edit mode if we were to go ahead and go out of that you can see if I play this the texture moves which is absolutely awesome this has so many different uses I just changed my in frame to frame 20 so this loops forever now you can see how awesome this really is this has so many different uses it's it's absolutely insane and if I want to go ahead and make sure this is this 100% looped forever I can go to the graph editor split my window go to the graph editor and find the the the plain splines go over to the right hand side and hit that hit this box open with that little plus right there and grab each one of these these one of these lines down here in this plane and then we can go ahead and make sure each one of these says linear instead of instead of the this this curve that it's default set on so we can go ahead and make sure all of these say linear you can see we have a really cool effect now because this is we've only done half of them so it looks like it's a wiggling which is so cool we can stop right now and doing half but I'll go ahead and do the rest of them so you can see that it loops infinitely without having that little start and stop say that it does and you can see how amazing that really is that really just is kind of like a godsend because like I said you couldn't animate you can't animate textures in blender so it's it's probably one of the coolest one of the coolest add-ons that there is and I hope you guys enjoy this we can we can slow this down or speed it up by going into the dope sheet I'll change my in frame to frame 50 we can grab all these frames by hitting be dragging the box over it and then just hitting G to move these at the fiftieth frame and now you can see they're moving much slower this is absolutely so cool you can see all the different things we can do with this we can even scale this up and it remains the same we can rotate it and we'll still animate it is absolutely insane the level of things you can do with this I think we may do some might do some things with this in the future it is just probably like I said it's like the coolest so I hope you guys enjoyed this this was actually a request from someone so I hope you're watching I hope you enjoyed it how to animate textures in blender I'll see you guys next video but until [Music]
