[harsh trench]

Are u saying that that emote is a2?

The one where someone walks onto the screen and looks behind them

[crisp monolith]

Read what I said, I said if the emote is "quality"

[harsh trench]

So

A animation of a idle can be a2

[crisp monolith]

That also depends, some idles are more complex

[random oracle]

if it has Q U A L I TY

[harsh trench]

What makes higher quality

[crisp monolith]

Idle doesn't instantly equal animation of person breathing

[harsh trench]

I’ve seen some rly nice and smooth animations that are a1

and some animations make of GFX so its rly rly realistic

[crisp monolith]

Smoothness
Good body mechanics
Good use of animation principles
etc

[harsh trench]

Once again

Some extremely smooth animations are a1

And a lot of animations ranks I’ve seen have a lot to do with the model

Like the ones with the dinosaur things

[crisp monolith]

And once again, smoothness isn't the only criteria in ranking animations

[harsh trench]

Describe

B o d y. M e c h a n I c s

[crisp monolith]

Bro you could have an animation as smooth as a babies butt but if the posing is trash, body mechanics are trash, weight application is trash, etc then it's still going to be a bad animation

[crisp monolith]

Literally what the word is

body mechanics

how the body works and moves

[harsh trench]

What would you rank this, ignore the models, just the animation

(Also I didn’t make it)

https://gyazo.com/6d1ffc8f2d857c57349ffc0cce399c21

Would it just bearly be a2 because the user isn’t moving

[crisp monolith]

[eternal lantern]

s1

[crisp monolith]

seems pretty close to a2, it's smooth but the posing is messing it up for me

[harsh trench]

That was made by one of the head animators in one of the most popular roblox games

[peak seal]

I likey

[random oracle]

head animators, not best animators

[crisp monolith]

Dude, most of the mid-high a2s and higher absolutely destroy that

[harsh trench]

Dandy

[peak seal]

really?

I mean it's good but not like insane

[harsh trench]

It was made by Stuck from aut

[crisp monolith]

https://gyazo.com/d65b8ebed772ea44563077061f6b8f20 this is one of the a3's animations

Papa pry

[harsh trench]

add u fr

[random oracle]

[harsh trench]

That’s not what a3 feels like

One sec

When I think a3, I think of something like this (once again I didn’t make this) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/738507116976930857/856545413574033428/Testing1dadadad.mp4

[eternal lantern]

i-

[crisp monolith]

.

[harsh trench]

Ignore jojo

[crisp monolith]

[random oracle]

i mean u r putting cinematics my man

and its just more fighting

[harsh trench]

It’s fooken good

[crisp monolith]

You do realize that's a whole cinematic right, remove the camera and effects and the animation isn't anything crazy (though I still think it's nice)

[harsh trench]

[crisp monolith]

Ok ok so let me get this straight

[harsh trench]

I think a good animation isn’t just ✨ a n I m a t I o n ✨

Ik that’s how it’s ranked here

But a rly good animation needs more then just 6 or 15 blocks moving

And don’t deny that

If u saw a Disney movie like that u would just go home

[crisp monolith]

If were talking cinematic then yes

But you don't need cinematics for an animation to be good

[harsh trench]

That’s true

[crisp monolith]

If animations were ranked simply by the extras added, ranking would be messed up

[harsh trench]

But I think that a simple emote isn’t next level

[crisp monolith]

We do consider extras in animations but we don't use it as a necessary part of ranking

If someone made a cinematic that had nice visuals but somewhat decent"animation" then there was someone else who had a good animation but it was just a good animation, were going to rank the good animation higher

Why? Because they've shown that they can just handle rigs and apply principles of animations better

[harsh trench]

That makes since

But like

back to the main reason this started

[random oracle]

yeah fr

i just want A2

[harsh trench]

Does a animation thats decent and is just a copy of another games animation deserve a2

In my opinion

No

[crisp monolith]

I don't know don't ask me, I never said it was a2 in the first place

I only said it depends

[harsh trench]

But

Do you think that that is a2 worthy

[crisp monolith]

No not really

[harsh trench]

[random oracle]

fUck

[harsh trench]

Dis . D o o d e

[random oracle]

[harsh trench]

[crisp monolith]

It's one thing if it's decent, but if they just flat out copied or even "frame by frame" then that's an instant no

[harsh trench]

It’s decent + a copy

Double kill

[crisp monolith]

Though, you can still use references. That's a normal part of animation

[harsh trench]

Well

Now there’s this

And it will take a while for me to find it

So

Here’s some popcorn

🍿

[crisp monolith]

I'm good

Just had some cereal

[random oracle]

[crisp monolith]

Show me the emote caramel

[harsh trench]

Nvm that videos dead

[harsh trench]

Have you ever seen the video of the guy who made a complete copy of that anime dance with the video of it next to it

The animation was great but it was a frame by frame copy

[random oracle]

ye

[harsh trench]

🎤

[crisp monolith]

Prys?

[harsh trench]

Idk

But your thoughts

[crisp monolith]

Frame by frame is an immediate no

[harsh trench]

The thing it was copying wasn’t roblox

It was the anime girl dancing meme

[crisp monolith]

yeah I think that's pry's

[harsh trench]

And someone made it on blender

[harsh trench]

Can you send me it

[crisp monolith]

Yep prys

How do you know this is frame by frame though

[random oracle]

frame by frame is way too tedious

[harsh trench]

Because it had the video right next to it

[crisp monolith]

.

Dusk

[random oracle]

[harsh trench]

It was a exact copy

[crisp monolith]

how does having a reference next to you so it's easy to see = frame by frame

[harsh trench]

That looks like my friends dad but let’s not talk about that

Just send me the video

[harsh trench]

Yes that’s it

But how tf would you make that without pausing it and looking at the frames

it’s moving to fast to just make it as u go

[crisp monolith]

1.You don't need to be a god to be able to make an animation look like the ref (Though it is hard). If you have a very good understanding of animation you can do it without much problems.

[crisp monolith]

Just slow it down

[harsh trench]

U have to move the rig’s key frames

If it’s still playing then-

Y o u. C a n t

[random oracle]

have u used blender before?

[harsh trench]

I still think that’s a rly good animation but by your logic is not even a1

[harsh trench]

Not for animation

[crisp monolith]

Wdym "have to move the rigs keyframes"

[harsh trench]

U move

The rigs

Body

Parts

[random oracle]

explains a lot

[crisp monolith]

That's not keyframes

[harsh trench]

well words r words so smh

Still can’t move the body parts without pausing it

[random oracle]

how do u think it works?

[crisp monolith]

Dude

I think you're confusing frame by frame

Frame by frame would be if I tried my best to see all the frames in an animation and copy it down

[harsh trench]

It’s what that is

Literally a exact copy of the dance

[crisp monolith]

Pausing an animation or slowing it down to see it through isn't frame by frame

[harsh trench]

It’s trying to be that dance

[crisp monolith]

If I took most of the frames of something to make my animation then that would be frame by frame

[harsh trench]

That

Dance

Is

A

Copy

It’s literally trying to be as close as the dance as possible

[crisp monolith]

but if I slowed it down or paused it just so I can see the animation without it going mach 100 then it's not frame by frame, that's literally me just trying to see the ref

[random oracle]

isnt that the point???

[crisp monolith]

Well yeah, but that's normal. It would be frame by frame if I just took the frames in order to make it close as possible

You're again confusing things

[harsh trench]

Go through the video and pause it at a random point

It’s the exact same

[random oracle]

i mean yeah

that was the point

[harsh trench]

Literally what I’m saying

[harsh trench]

S o. I t s. C o p y I n g. I t

[random oracle]

i mean not really

[crisp monolith]

looking at a ref to make the animation close as possible is normal

Looking at all the refs frames in order to copy them down is frame by frame

[harsh trench]

It’s trying to be a copy

How is it not copying

[random oracle]

that isnt frame by frame

[harsh trench]

When the point is

To copy it

[crisp monolith]

You're confusing the two and making them the same, you're pretty much saying that looking at a reference is copying and is therefore bad

[harsh trench]

Copying is the same as frame by frame except it’s not as exact@

[crisp monolith]

ain't no way

[harsh trench]

It’s obvious when a cartoon is a copy

And that’s bad

[crisp monolith]

[harsh trench]

But it’s not frame by frame

[crisp monolith]

dusk

Listen to me right now

[random oracle]

cartoons are different

[harsh trench]

A cartoon is a animation

[random oracle]

theres different style in cartoons

[harsh trench]

[random oracle]

do yk what fanart is dusk

[peak seal]

I legit have this video saved from when it was posted 'cause I loved it so much lmao

[harsh trench]

There’s a difference between fanart and a strait up copy that only exists to make money

[random oracle]

do yk what dtiys are dusk

[harsh trench]

Dtiys?

[crisp monolith]

Looking at a reference to make an animation isn't copying, how the hell is that copying. Did you know? That almost ALL professions on roblox use references???

[random oracle]

do this in your style

[crisp monolith]

Yeah that's right

Clothing, effects, gfx, meshes

[harsh trench]

It’s the exact animation but roblox

[peak seal]

I see no problem with it

[harsh trench]

That’s a copy

[random oracle]

[harsh trench]

I don’t either, but he’s saying that a animation that’s a copy is bad

[crisp monolith]

IF YOU MADE IT LOOK LIKE THE REF, WITHOUT THE USE OF FRAME BY FRAME, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU COPIED

[harsh trench]

So I pointed out this

[crisp monolith]

IT JUST MEANS YOU'RE GOOD AT ANIMATION

LOL

[eternal lantern]

tru

[crisp monolith]

WTF

DUSK

[harsh trench]

[crisp monolith]

Say it ain't so man

[random oracle]

jesus christ

[peak seal]

idk I think using a reference is using a reference not copying especially in roblox 'cause I mean look at the games on roblox we move everythign from shows/animes into roblox form and such

[harsh trench]

Once again

[random oracle]

[harsh trench]

I think it’s a good animation and I don’t see anything wrong with the copy because it’s just a lil roblox meme. Reborn said that a animation that’s a copy is bad so I brought this up. This is a copy and it’s literally trying to be one. This copy is extremely exact and in no way original.

If you go to any frame on the video it will be exact

You can’t just do that without looking through the frames

[random oracle]

if u copy another roblox animation, then bad

[peak seal]

I guess so

[crisp monolith]

you do realize that if you put enough keyframes, frame by frame isn't even needed because the keyframes will blend well together, if something looks like the ref it doesn't automatically mean they copied frames

[harsh trench]

If you copy any animation for any animation is pretty much always bad

[harsh trench]

I said that most frames are copied

Because you can’t do something like that without looking at at least a few frames

[peak seal]

[harsh trench]

[random oracle]

i think u dont know how this works

[crisp monolith]

Thing is

Looking at a few frames is actually completely normal

Like actually

[harsh trench]

[crisp monolith]

If you were to look at the keyframes of an animation, that's not frame by frame

[harsh trench]

“If you copy the frames then it’s very bad”

[crisp monolith]

That's just seeing the keypoints of what you're animating

[harsh trench]

[crisp monolith]

if I looked at the most important frames of a ref I'm trying to animate, how is that frame by frame. Infact looking at a reference is looking at frames, so I guess everyone that uses a reference is a copying piece of shit

[random oracle]

actual professional animators be using real shit or even themselves as references, would that be copying??

[crisp monolith]

EXACTLY

THAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE

[harsh trench]

Difference between a reference for a few frames and copying a entire animation

The entire thing that was posted

Was a copy of that dance

And that’s a fact

You can’t argue with that

[random oracle]

[harsh trench]

That’s literally the point of the video

To copy the dance

[crisp monolith]

Yes, there is a difference but you're acting like there is no difference at all. You were going around talking like pry copied most of the frames when you don't even need to do that to make it clean

[peak seal]

https://tenor.com/view/tired-aww-cute-kitten-gif-14288646

[harsh trench]

[peak seal]

this convo is dumb

[crisp monolith]

If you get the main frames, add inbetweens and just have steady keyframe control it can turn out very nice without the use of frame by frame

[harsh trench]

I’m saying

It’s a copy

Because

The dance

Is literally

✨ a copy ✨

[random oracle]

not every frame is being animatedddd

[harsh trench]

I’m saving this

[peak seal]

well I guess you're right-ish

[harsh trench]

How is it right-ish if the video was uploaded with the tag

Copied the dance as best as I could

[crisp monolith]

You're saying it's a blatant copy because the animator was able to make the animation look very similar to the ref (Which you don't need frame by frame to do btw). Looking at a reference and making the animation look as similar to the reference as possible without frame by frame isn't wrong at all

It just means you're well

Good

[peak seal]

people usually say copy as a bad thing I'd rather say reference for something like that but I guess it's a copy, nothing wrong with it though

[harsh trench]

There is a clear difference between trying to make it look similar

And literally

Trying to copy it as best as you can

[crisp monolith]

Dusk let me just try to clear this up, what do you mean by "copy"

Do you mean frame by frame?

[harsh trench]

I mean

The face

Dace*

[crisp monolith]

Do you mean they shouldn't try their best to make it look like the reference?

[harsh trench]

Is a copy of that dance

It is the exact same dance

With the oh

Og *

Next to it

Showing off

How exact of a copy it is

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 9! **

[crisp monolith]

You keep on ignoring this one simple fact though, you don't need frame by frame to accomplish that

[crisp monolith]

There are people like notive and alti and so many others who have made that level of smoothness and similarity without the use of frame by frame

[harsh trench]

[harsh trench]

It doesn’t matter if it’s f by f if it’s a blatant copy that’s showing off how good of a copy it is

[crisp monolith]

Read what you just said

So you're telling me

[harsh trench]

of I make a animation and I say

“I copied it as best as I could”

How is it not a copy

Please explain this

[crisp monolith]

if you F by F then that would be copying, but if you were able to make an animation look exactly like the ref

THAT ISN'T COPYING

THAT'S JUST SKILL

HOW IS THAT COPYING

[harsh trench]

B o I

[lunar vine]

I do not understand anything here.

[crisp monolith]

You're using completely different examples, If I copied a movies story then that would be me stealing material, but if I were able to make an animation look like it's reference through the use of normal animating that's not copying, that's skill

[harsh trench]

In general

If something is claimed to be a copy

And

It has the original right next to it

And it’s extremely exact

Then guess what

[crisp monolith]

You can't say in general though, they're two completely different concepts

[harsh trench]

✨ it’s a copy ✨

||wow no way||

[lunar vine]

This sounds like something similar to “copyright strike” but without the strike 🤔

[crisp monolith]

Making an animation look like a reference through the use of skill (or no frame by frame) that's literally not copying

[harsh trench]

:inhale:

if the person who made it says it’s copied as good as they can do

[random oracle]

omfg

[harsh trench]

And the original is next to it and it’s extremely extresmtl exact

Extremely *

Then it’s a copy of some sort

[crisp monolith]

If zoos here made an emote that looked exactly like the reference, that means he's good at doing posing, that means he's going at applying realism, that means he's good at applying weight and body mechanics and all types of other principles.

[harsh trench]

Doesn’t matter if it’s f by f

The dance is a copy

[random oracle]

like i said before, dtiys are litterally just that bro

[harsh trench]

It’s a copy of the dance

The animation is a copy of the dance

[lunar vine]

[harsh trench]

Agreed

[lunar vine]

Huh

[crisp monolith]

If someone made a copy of the dance through the use of skill, that isn't bad at all

[lunar vine]

I’m not on no ones side

[harsh trench]

b o I

[crisp monolith]

That just means they're good at applying principals

Like what

[harsh trench]

Ik it was a joke lol

[harsh trench]

Did u read my essay I said earlier

I said

[harsh trench]

“I think that it’s a rly good animation but by your logic it’s a copy”

But longer and with more stuff

Because essay

[crisp monolith]

If someone was able to make a copy of an animation through the use of skill

how is that bad?

[harsh trench]

U

Where the one who said

That a copy is bad

Not me

[crisp monolith]

I was implying frame by frame btw

[harsh trench]

[crisp monolith]

if you made a copy of a ref through the use of skill, that's really impressive

[harsh trench]

but

[lunar vine]

Holy shit it’s been 1 hour

[harsh trench]

you

[random oracle]

if u draw a character, and traced it, then bad. If u use that character as a reference, and drew it yourself, then bad?

[harsh trench]

There’s a difference between what I’m talking about rn and tracing a picture

[peak seal]

I want to go to bed but this convo is too interesting

[harsh trench]

Ikr

[random oracle]

basically the same thing u r talking about

[harsh trench]

I could be using the bathroom rn but noooooo

[crisp monolith]

When I said copy I meant using frame by frame and other methods to completely copy a reference (a good example is mocap)

[harsh trench]

There

[peak seal]

the mf bathroom like in my video

[harsh trench]

So r we finally done

[crisp monolith]

Using frame by frame and mocap is wrong but if you made an animation look exactly like a ref through skill that's not bad at all.

I think this happened because you misunderstood what I meant by "copy"

[crisp monolith]

I probably should have been more specific there

[lunar vine]

Every argument if it’s like this where points matters, it won’t stop, it’s like having a infinite race.

[harsh trench]

[crisp monolith]

how the hell did this even start

It's like 12:54 am for me

HOW DA HELL ARE YOU ONLY AN A1

[slender atlas]

JUST BECAUSE THE USER'S NOT MOVING DOESNT MEAN THAT ITS LOWER, in animating, we just rank the animation itself, meaning, we rank the stand, we wouldnt care if zed character isnt moving whatsoever

Sir, THIS IS THE ANIMATING CHANNEL, THERES A CHANNEL FOR EFFECTS

Hi, I am new to animating. I could use some tips or videos to help me out.

^I see the video up there but is there anything else I should take note of while animating?

[half quarry]

Alright

I reccomend using Moon Animator since it is quite simple to use, first try making simple animations like a simple punch, not too detailed. Then try to make a kick animation. Alright now combine those two and you got a starter run animation (remember to do it for both arms and legs so it actually works). That should be a good enough starter project for you

Oh, and remember to make the arms and legs go backwards too for the run.

[eternal meadow]

isnt anim editor

first?

and then moon

[mint sun]

Well depends...
If you have a bit of knowledge of Blender you can also start with that.
The proof is me.

(Started with this yesterday)
I have never used blender for animations.
So this is my first one ever with Blender
I started with Anim editor. But never liked it.
Blender is really nice to use.

(Not finished)

[restive fox]

anyone

able to animate that

https://streamable.com/sgn4no

[eternal meadow]

wish dragon villain

[lethal gorge]

Bruh i don't know if my animations are good enough to level up with so i gotta add more stuff or--?

[eternal meadow]

no, it has to be roblox

or something 3d

[south quest]

how do i loop a run animation

so that it canstantly replays

[mighty shale]

I started with moon first

Then advanced to blender

[eternal meadow]

i started with your mom

[mighty shale]

I started with your dad

no homo

😳

[eternal meadow]

clipped

[mighty shale]

clip me then tf

[south quest]

can someone please answer the question

[mighty shale]

What question

[mighty shale]

What animator

[south quest]

^

[mighty shale]

Do you have

or use

[south quest]

moon animator

[mighty shale]

Go to the bar on the top of the GUI and go click the 3rd one I think? If I’m right there should be something called animation settings

You should be able to figure it out from here

[south quest]

kk thanks ill try

@mighty shale can you help on vc

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[south quest]

or anyone

[vocal wren]

Alright, thank you.

[civic temple]

Should i switch to blender?

[eternal meadow]

ye

[crisp monolith]

If you have knowledge of it then yes

[civic temple]

Well i don't, but i could learn about it.

Because most of the people use blender to animate.

[crisp monolith]

if you're willing to learn then go ahead

[civic temple]

Is blender better than moon animator?

[crisp monolith]

yes

10x better

Inverse kinetics, bezier, graph editor, you name it

And this is coming from someone that mains moon

[civic temple]

You need to download an addon if i'm right?

[harsh trench]

sir this is a Wendeez

wendeez nuts

[lethal gorge]

it... is 3d?

[eternal meadow]

1000x

[slender atlas]

get deepfried, i'd like to have them, with mayo

[eternal meadow]

clipped

[civic temple]

You need an addon to make animations right?

[eternal meadow]

yes

[lethal gorge]

:/

[eternal meadow]

and other good stuff in default blender

[slender atlas]

Alot of blackmail on me out there, i'm used to it

[lethal gorge]

Prika

What do you mean it has to be roblox or 3D for the animation to get me levelled up?

it is 3d??

[eternal meadow]

but is it in roblox

[lethal gorge]

you said or 3d

But i digress

[eternal meadow]

:o derr

[lethal gorge]

This is both, roblox and its 3d, so-

[eternal meadow]

just wait for a mod

[distant cove]

damn

[lethal gorge]

but like what do you mean it has to be 3d?

[distant cove]

"Share your animations!"

[slender atlas]

honestly, just animation in general

[distant cove]

yea

[eternal meadow]

besides 2d

[slender atlas]

some 2d animators got leveled b4

[distant cove]

why does it matter where its made

[slender atlas]

i dont think it does

as long as its animation, i think it counts

[distant cove]

ye id say so too

[distant cove]

dunno why they just

[lethal gorge]

so i should ignore prika?

[distant cove]

i guess

[slender atlas]

dont ignore him smh

[distant cove]

lol

[lethal gorge]

well do i listen to the advice then?

mixed signals-

[slender atlas]

ofc

take anybodys advice

even some random dude that hasnt animated before

[distant cove]

the advice tho was like: only roblox

[slender atlas]

take it

[lethal gorge]

ok so the advice is only roblox

ok

[distant cove]

LMAO

[lethal gorge]

got it.

[distant cove]

thats not how it works bauocma

[slender atlas]

he gives advice on animating if he feels like it

[distant cove]

ye but the advice wasnt given about the animation

[lethal gorge]

that isnt animating advice tho

anyways

[distant cove]

it was just like: only roblox

[lethal gorge]

big mad

[distant cove]

oh

[slender atlas]

most of us, our advice is mostly just, use a reference

[random oracle]

yea

[distant cove]

well yes but

[lethal gorge]

never touched an animation ref in my life

[distant cove]

"only roblox" isnt good advice in animating channel

[lethal gorge]

ikr

[eternal meadow]

yea, most animations are made on blender and can be applied to roblox

[distant cove]

ye

[random oracle]

i dont think thats advice for animating, thats just how to actually get a role

[distant cove]

@lethal gorge how much tris does that model have?

[slender atlas]

JUST BECAUSE HE DONE IT ONCE, DOESNT MEAN ALL HIS ADVICE IS LEGIT JUST "ROBLOX"

[lethal gorge]

5k

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 3! **

[distant cove]

god why all caps

[slender atlas]

Cuz i'm quite enraged by this

[lethal gorge]

big mad, also borsen is 5k

[eternal meadow]

5k is import able

[distant cove]

so am i because "only roblox" isnt a great thing to tell to someone

[eternal meadow]

to roblox studio

[distant cove]

if theyre not a mod

[lethal gorge]

so he can snuggly fit into roblox

[slender atlas]

he's as a3 for a reason

[distant cove]

and this is animating channel

[lethal gorge]

oh i know hes in roblox

[slender atlas]

if anything, his advice is worth more than mine

[distant cove]

lol ok

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[slender atlas]

you want advice from me?

[distant cove]

i didnt ask for any

[eternal meadow]

wait, is it skinned mesh/has bones

[slender atlas]

quite the contrary, i'm the one offering advice

[lethal gorge]

what?

[distant cove]

good for you

[slender atlas]

its a simple yes or no question

[distant cove]

no

[lethal gorge]

i havent imported his animations to roblox

[slender atlas]

wasnt so hard to reply nicely wasnt it

[lethal gorge]

but his model fits in there snuggly with his textures

[distant cove]

replying nicely = no

[distant cove]

oh yes very nice response we got goin on here

[slender atlas]

if thats so, this is the wrong channel, nobody wants to put up with that type of shit

[lethal gorge]

i like this

[distant cove]

stop talking to me then

[slender atlas]

I'm merely just defending prika

[distant cove]

same

[lethal gorge]

smol wiggle

[eternal meadow]

[eternal meadow]

2D animators are cool tho

[eternal meadow]

tried making a semi realistic walk

well not really

it just turned out like this

is it good?

also i cant decide if its a run or walk

yeah, im just really bad at making the arm swinging animations look good

any tips?

heres an example

btw

what about the torso movement

does it look a bit too much or?

its supposed to be criminality based

okay

the fps is so bad

[lethal gorge]

New animating coming along, Model by KateTheQueen, for a Roblox game.

[eternal meadow]

Maybe

[eternal meadow]

Move the arms

[eternal meadow]

but is the walk itself good?

Yeah

[random oracle]

mans zoomin

[random oracle]

[void nymph]

tip for animators

[random oracle]

yea i usually do the torso's movement first

it gives me an idea of the weight

[potent oxide]

wtf is weight

[eternal meadow]

Weight is weight

1 ton

100 million kg

[random oracle]

wdym what is weight

[potent oxide]

estimate weight

with just torso

[random oracle]

if u put your torso down

u can find out how much u have to bend your knees

[potent oxide]

but

i still dont understand

[peak seal]

^

idk what else you say

wait you're a III animator yet-

[random oracle]
