make animations better!

[chilly geyser]

What I want you to add is to make it so you can animate things that aren't grouped like rec room!

You can animate things that aren’t grouped

Ya but you gotta do math, act like you are smart to time the things correctly

I do

But we shouldnt have to

Its quality of life

I shouldnt have to do mental gymnastics so I can make a hand look nice while animating

If we could have links and pivots, and a way to animate where you can see the state of more than one object, animation could be so much better.

Such as traditional frame by frame but with the addition of tweening.

It's one of the main reasons I dont engage with animation in GRAB

Theres no scrubbing through to preview your animation, the obscure timings make it difficult to animate in unison, and the organization of the UI is really bad...

[tulip venture]

So you’re refusing to use animations in grab because you don’t want to do “mental gymnastics”?

That’s not gonna change anything.

I can understand your complaints about how animations can be better in grab, but the boycott type stuff is unnecessary

Just use the animation tools that are already implemented into the game and don’t throw a fit?

[tulip venture]

I guarantee you that Developers have recognized animation suggestions like this and are working hard to create tools to make animating more flexible and easier.

They recently just released an update that gives you more abilities for animating

They’re working super hard on making everything better in grab , and it doesn’t mean you have to disregard their hard work to criticize UI and boycott

[hoary fractal]

I should've stated my perspective better. I'm not boycotting the animation in the game, I use it sparingly because It's difficult to use.

Nor did I expect my sparing use of animation to change something, that’s not productive.

Your right though, I shouldn’t have just criticized the work the devs have put into the game and the animation system, the critique I gave on UI wasn’t constructive.

[tulip venture]

It’s totally fine, I understand that animations need some work as well.

[tidal barn]

you can definitely criticize things, but do try to be constructive about it. Tell me what you want to do or how it gets in your way. Generally my goal is to keep the tools as accessible and simple as I can, so I am not just going to add a ton of tools, but I am certain things can still be improved a lot anyway.

[hoary fractal]

Of course, I’ll make sure to be better about the criticism in the future while being constructive.
