🏃︱animating

[thick knoll]

this is my first time animating

[proper ruin]

I'm in a car

[thick knoll]

i wont talk

i just screen share

if u want

to

[proper ruin]

Ok

Lag

Ok go stream

[grave warren]

Thoughts on this equip?

[olive ginkgo]

are u using linear???

[grave warren]

idk

[olive ginkgo]

looks too slow

[grave warren]

its supposed to

[olive ginkgo]

should be snappier

[grave warren]

i made the gun huge

[olive ginkgo]

yeah but that's too slow

when he pulls the thing

make it faster

[proper ruin]

Weight =/= slow

Most of the time

[grave warren]

ye

i also tryed basing it off the payday 2 animation style

[olive ginkgo]

^^^

[grave warren]

o

ok

ill make it faster

gimme a sec

[olive ginkgo]

i believe u should try to add more weight and impact

instead of making it slow

[grave warren]

ok

[olive ginkgo]

it looks like a normal gun but slow equip

[proper ruin]

There should be like "Delay" with some movement

[olive ginkgo]

yeahbut don't make it too slow

if you wanna make it for a gamr

[grave warren]

Do I add more X location?

like make it go more backwards?\

[olive ginkgo]

no

but try to make the gun go from

down to up

from nothing to actually bringingup the weapon

cause this isn't really an equip anim if the gun is already in your hands

[proper ruin]

I don't really like making it look like it's being taken from behind

Wait

Like uh

Lifted from the back

FUCK

[grave warren]

caught

[proper ruin]

I like having it come up from the front

Like lifting if from a chest sling or whatever

[grave warren]

ye

but im kinda making it like one of those you know readying animations

you know when you spawn in and then the character readys the gun and the game starts>

kinda like that

[grave magnet]

whys it so slow tho

[grave warren]

Dunno

[grave magnet]

oh

i just read

mb

[grave warren]

Is good

[grave magnet]

either way it still looks too slow

[eternal meadow]

floaty

[thick knoll]

guys

i need help

[eternal meadow]

he literally fucked up on that

if its supposed to be slow

because of how big the gun is

[thick knoll]

whenever i use moon animator my animating not working what should i do?

[eternal meadow]

atleast add force into it

[thick knoll]

whenever i use roblox animation it works

[thick knoll]

Hey can u help me?

please

[eternal meadow]

show

like, screenshot or video

[thick knoll]

can i screen share?

i wont talk

nvm

[thick knoll]

How to i make the animaton action to movements in moon animator?

[proper ruin]

What

[thick knoll]

my animation not working bruh 😦

it only works when i use roblox animator

[thick knoll]

hey hey hey

Last question

How do i loop my animation?

in moon animator

[grave magnet]

press 8 and select the loop box

[thick knoll]

Thank u so much 😄

[random fox]

Any good sources to get started with animation?

[proper ruin]

Just practice

There's no tutorials for how to make epic animations

[random fox]

I suppose so, I am really just confused about roblox limitations and whatnot

[potent oxide]

wdym

[random fox]

Lemme go find an example really quick

Something along the lines of this

I wouldn't necessarily be worried about how my animation looks as I'm only beginning, but what would be required to be imported from roblox to blender to make something like this?

Would all characters need to be imported as a single rig?

[potent oxide]

if its roblox to blender

if the rig has diff weapons or stuff i export them seperately

if not i judt reuse the same rig

[eternal meadow]

worst muzzleflash ive ever seen

[limber swallow]

yall would a tool holding animation be core or idle?

[potent oxide]

isnt that just priority

if you want the animation to be shown then make it higher prior than other anima

[grave magnet]

certainly seen worse

[limber swallow]

LOL uhmm it's just kinda mixing together the regular animations plus the 1 frame hold i made

idle and core both look like this^^^

[potent oxide]

wtf

have you tried making it higher prior

[limber swallow]

i mean with other animations it works fine i just have no clue why the idle is mixing

loosing my shit this is so funny

then it just get locked

im just gonna redo everything

[eternal meadow]

maybe

[thick knoll]

How to make cutscenes with Animations?

[random fox]

💀

i am too tired for this

[thick knoll]

How to make an animation like i want the effects to appear at certain keyframe?

[solemn stream]

Heya.

The animation is nice. Maybe it has not been stopped.

Wait, what is the issue though?

[ashen lantern]

uh...

[solemn stream]

I think it's a C0 offset.

The way the character walks, the arms sway at the current position.

Probably the weight as you mentioned.

If its priority is action, I don't think the arms would sway.

[ashen lantern]

._.

thats not the main issue

I dont

[solemn stream]

@limber swallow is the issue of the animation fixed?

[limber swallow]

NOPE!

[limber swallow]

im gonna try recoding it tmrw

[solemn stream]

Can I help? :D

Ohh, I see.

[limber swallow]

def a code thing

[solemn stream]

💀 200+ joints. Please, go away.

[ashen lantern]

No

[limber swallow]

need to rewatch the basics to tool animations vid

[solemn stream]

I can help you with that. Your goal is to make it aim as you equip, right?

Like you can aim up and down?

[ashen lantern]

@eternal meadow

yes I dont

[eternal meadow]

there is no fucking way you messed up this bad on just the idle

[novel moss]

gael
sorry for the horrible cam work!! (also i cant get obs to work 😭) https://i.gyazo.com/94946704af164c2fe670687a07d2d7a3.mp4

[ashen lantern]

Its amazing

the cam is alright

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 3! **

[ashen lantern]

not a place for drama sorry

[gloomy ivy]

alr lemme delete

[ashen lantern]

that's his pride; it wont get him friends or bitches XD

[gloomy ivy]

yes

[solemn stream]

You should have joints for the custom rig. If there are joints and it's not recognized, maybe try checking again how the bones are connected.

[calm lagoon]

Heavy Wip did it in like 30 minutes

[solemn stream]

That's very smooth.

[grave magnet]

impressive for 30 minutes

[calm lagoon]

more progress

[calm lagoon]

Yea blockout procedure is the fastest

You get base poses and add reactions later on

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 6! **

[exotic cedar]

too bouncy

when taking mag out

and putting it in

balance it out more

[eternal meadow]

…there’s barely any bounce on the mag out bruh

[earnest sage]

seems fine

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[exotic cedar]

i meant mainly how fast the bounce is

its unrealistic

also it bounces back too far even with how little bounce there is

[empty tiger]

Ofc dm me

[ancient gate]

Bruh.

Idk why it goes to download...

Oh there

[pulsar granite]

A bit stiff

You see when people move hands, there will be a weight back to it aswell

[ancient gate]

Thanks for the feedback.

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[plush spade]

https://gyazo.com/e999a9e9b1e2faa178c7b8240ea33805 how does this look? it's like a Rasengan creation but without the effect, and it's still not finished

[keen zephyr]

what is up with the leg posing

[plush spade]

I concentrated on arms and torso, and I need to learn how to make leg pose looking good with r6

[earnest sage]

bully hung more

[plush spade]

does this look better?

[keen zephyr]

wdym bully

[lusty vigil]

not really

[earnest sage]

keep saying i love u to hung everyday over and over

😈

[keen zephyr]

i actually do like him legitimately

[earnest sage]

wo

turn of events

[plush spade]

@keen zephyr ?

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[keen zephyr]

i guess

pose still looks stift

[exotic cedar]

read what else i said

[lusty vigil]

i did

[exotic cedar]

damn that sucks

[lusty vigil]

how

i only agree with you on the mag out bounce

[exotic cedar]

the mag out and in bounce are nearly identical bro

[lusty vigil]

nearly

mag in still looks floaty with the bounce

[random fox]

didn't even start, just wanted to familiarize myself with rigs and blender

[dusky beacon]

oh my

2 things

Never, ever use that rig

Work on yo posing!!!

[random fox]

oh i made that rig myself

it was like 4am and i was super tired and justed wanted to see what i could do, and try understand blender

[dusky beacon]

o

Those kinda rigs never work out well

Posing wise

If your animating roblox stick to your block arms

Fingers are for normal viewmodels

[random fox]

alrighty cool cool

thanks for information

while i'm here, would you happen to know how to animate accurately in relation to sound

[dusky beacon]

Wdym

[random fox]

dunno what the best description would be, just pairing animation with audio

[dusky beacon]

In blender?

[random fox]

perhap

[dusky beacon]

Yeah I know how to do it in blender I’m pretty sure

[lusty vigil]

just use video sequencer

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[lusty vigil]

add audios

from source related addons (they usually have the best ones)

basic knowledge

@random fox

[grim geyser]

Hey guys, i need help. How can I add like a camera without using moon animator? Thanks for helping

Hey guys, i need help. How can I add like a camera without using moon animator? Thanks for helping

[west zenith]

hello

I made my first animation

very proud of myself

it is a paper

[random fox]

thank very much

[calm lagoon]

What

I don’t understand the issues you are talking about

[dusk sphinx]

any moon animators here that know how to fix this issue, I'm trying to move this selected part up and down but instead, everything else in the model does so, the bottom part seems to work just fine however https://i.gyazo.com/4543020182df510f8e24e9c3dd9fcd3b.mp4

[solemn stream]

This must be an anchor issue. @dusk sphinx

Try testing disabling all block's anchor.

[grave magnet]

check for any unwanted welds

[grim geyser]

yes

edf

d

fg

[dusk sphinx]

everything is unanchored

[solemn stream]

The one you selected might be anchored. If not, welded to an anchored brick.

[solemn stream]

This answer.

[dusk sphinx]

everything in the model is unanchored

[dusk sphinx]

and to this, I did so, everything is fine

[solemn stream]

Are there any welds to the character? Or any welds you recall placed?

[dusk sphinx]

character?

do you mean the model

[spring kettle]

how do i start animating with blender

[pulsar granite]

Why does Kurama looks like it took from a free market place

[lethal onyx]

Guys

[dusky beacon]

Watched one rigging tutorial

[eternal meadow]

[dusky beacon]

Then sat down and animated for like 2 yrs

And then it somehow worked

[eternal meadow]

you thinking about making a game in roblox?

[dusky beacon]

I work on a couple

[eternal meadow]

damn must be nice.

knowing what you are doing 😆

[dusky beacon]

I have no idea

I just kinda

Shut off my brain and Do the thing I always do

And it works out

There’s a lot more then just animating that goes into it doe

[eternal meadow]

damn im speechless

** You are now Level 1! **

yo MEE6X Tryna help me bro?

[dusky beacon]

One of my favourite things I did when I was a starter was studying other animators

Yes he is

[eternal meadow]

wait you can study animation

💀

where

[dusky beacon]

YouTube

Look at the way they would do a certain thing

Think about how you would do it

Try to mix em a lil

don’t full on copy

But learn

[eternal meadow]

hmm alright..

got any recommendation vids?

[dusky beacon]

What are you tryna learn?

Viewmodels?

[hollow jewel]

Can I get animator role ? 🥴

[eternal meadow]

[eternal meadow]

im trying to make a game like "Chivalry 2"

[eternal meadow]

L season

look it up on youtube

its on ps4

but

basically

boruto shippuden>

its basically 1st person and 3rd person

[hollow jewel]

wdym with L season ?

[eternal meadow]

lemme see if i can find a video

[eternal meadow]

s4 was literally good

[eternal meadow]

almost

just overhyped at the time

[hollow jewel]

do you mean this season is bad ?

[eternal meadow]

https://youtu.be/0esAvebil7U

@dusky beacon

this is the idea of the animation ig

[grave warren]

can i get animator role?

[hollow jewel]

they say so every season to make you watch more

[dusky beacon]

Hmm

Melee anims have always been an Intresting one

I don’t have to many reference for em

[eternal meadow]

oh alr

[grave warren]

animator role pox

[dusky beacon]

I can look through my stock pile rq

[dusky beacon]

Make your hand go off screen after the bolt pull

It makes it looks way more powerful

[grave warren]

ok

but can i have anmtor role tho

[eternal meadow]

if this game does come out to be a success

mtf

imma die plenty of times

in my own game

knowing damn well

i cant hit for shit

💀

[eternal meadow]

hell no

thats where godmode comes in

off screen is crazy

still needs to be visible

[dusky beacon]

huh

[eternal meadow]

but that bolt pull is linear, floaty and ass b2i

[dusky beacon]

Last time I’ve seen a proper animation w on screen hand bolt pull was a hyper anim from 2013

[eternal meadow]

hyper's old animations still hold up surprisingly

and not surprisingly at the same time

source modding was basically at its peak 2013-2017

[proper ruin]

https://gyazo.com/87c8c4e50c757a8f3c3e443fbae05b8d.mp4 A1 please

[cobalt forge]

[grave magnet]

pretty sure you're meant to mention someone

[potent oxide]

@drifting sorrel

[weak night]

I have a question about importing animations from blender (bone animation) to roblox studio. I have a "Child Of" constraint that makes it so I can hold an object to follow a bone but whenever I import it into studio it either does not move or it moves wrongly.

Not sure if I should of asked here or in #✋︱studio-help-classic

Would most like some help maybe in vc or smn so I could actually show because I've really never used blender for animations before

Prob I'm just doing something stupid

[round orbit]

@stiff oakhe good on this things

pretty sure he is an example to follow

[weak night]

I still really need help with this!

If anyone could atleast help me a little bit, I will lit thank you till the day I die lmao

Because I cannot continue making my game without animations.

[spring kettle]

how do i animate in blender

[grave magnet]

progression

[calm lagoon]

your mags go in so slow

[calm lagoon]

https://youtu.be/AM_nTmgvolM
what rank are these

made 3 months ago

pretty cool how fast i improved

[grave magnet]

influenced by a lot of squad/sandstorm/tarkov etc animations I guess

[calm lagoon]

they dont go in slow

all of those games i have hundreds of hours on

[grave magnet]

i try to convey a mag insertion struggle but it must not come off as such

[calm lagoon]

then add rotation and location on your struggles

[hidden comet]

How would you recommend I make a smooth r6 combo animation in blender. I want to base it off Taijutsu in Naruto since this game is Naruto based, I have experience animating. But what's a good reference to use? Is there anything I should know when making r6 combo animations? Help is appreciated.

Here's a previous attempt

Although it doesn't look the greatest in a combo

nor does it look very good in game

Another angle

[manic kindle]

you cant just say it 💀 u have to ping a mod its not like they are scanning every channel waiting to rank people

[noble root]

Can some one help me make powers

[eternal meadow]

MY BOY?

HEX?

[hidden comet]

Oh sup Hung, you an animator?

[eternal meadow]

Yeah

[hidden comet]

I've been told I could get scripter 1 or 2

Honestly too lazy,

[eternal meadow]

You definitely can

LOL

[hidden comet]

I just want to work on my game.

But the issue with it is, I suck at doing animations.

[eternal meadow]

Good luck on that I guess

Animations aren’t hard to learn

It’s just hard to master

[hidden comet]

I mean like

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/984903061740863488/988188712888307794/2022-06-16_20-49-41.mp4

I've made stuff like this

Which is the run animation for my game,

[vagrant phoenix]

zoom

[hidden comet]

It's just the combat animations and dash animations that are annoying me

[eternal meadow]

It’s not bad though

I’d offer you my help but I’m too busy with my projects anyway

[hidden comet]

What projects are you working on?

[eternal meadow]

One for my video
2 games

[hidden comet]

Ah ight,

My game is a Naruto CC similar to Shinden and Nindo Gaiden.

It's gonna have some elements of Deepwoken, Rogue Lineage.

[eternal meadow]

Please don’t make it grindy lol

[hidden comet]

It won't be.

[eternal meadow]

hawt

[hidden comet]

It's gonna be completely player oriented like Shinden.

There's gonna be some survival aspects.

[eternal meadow]

yummy tummy is good tummy

[hidden comet]

Yeah jutsus with a handsign system,

Otsutsukis, karma, dojutsu

A lot of stuff,

[eternal meadow]

jut”sus”

I had to

[hidden comet]

I learned I'm actually really good at making particles

[eternal meadow]

I’m sorry

Woah that’s cool

[hidden comet]

Only been working on it for a few weeks

so even the movement system still has its bugs

combat system is in very early stages

dojutsu system is too

ninjutsu I haven't even began to work on

[eternal meadow]

Are you going to make it stun lock based

[hidden comet]

There's going to be substitution like shinden

where you can press R to get out of a combo

[eternal meadow]

Aight

[hidden comet]

Like rogue's system

but with that

[eternal meadow]

So a burst then

[hidden comet]

perfect blend in my opinion

[eternal meadow]

Neat

[hidden comet]

That way you can't like do long combos, but you can combo if they waste their sub

or mess up

Stop

[eternal meadow]

lmfao

[dusky beacon]

More movement please

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 11! **

[dusky beacon]

It just stays in one place

Also no need to make it so shaky

If anything it makes it worse

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[blissful pecan]

no sound but more movement

[dusky beacon]

It still shakes like hell

There’s no need

[random oracle]

The movement a little too sharp

[dusky beacon]

Also the pause after magin and before stock pull is a little long

[blissful pecan]

give me another 10 hours real quick

[dusky beacon]

I dunno if it’s just the idle but the gun also feels massive

[random oracle]

It looks massive in general

[dusky beacon]

Yeah

@blissful pecan show me the side view

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 3! **

[dusky beacon]

uhhhhh

That looks like it’s the right size

[blissful pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/nyle-leila-monkey-food-gif-19007223

[dusky beacon]

Probably just the idle

[blissful pecan]

AH

[dusky beacon]

Transition from magin to stock pull as some random snap

That doesn’t need to be there

[blissful pecan]

but it can

better?

[past trail]

how to i create an animation for a part

like if i had an AnimationController in a part, how would i create the animation for that

[dusky beacon]

Yeah

[eternal meadow]

The USP is low a2 and that bullpup is like low-mid a2.

[young horizon]

I love everything that’s going on here

[dusky beacon]

Prika do you even still animate

[potent oxide]

what would u rate yourself actually

im curious

like out of 10

[eternal meadow]

A little too snappy for me ngl

Kinda similar to B4B animations

Which is a bad thing

[keen zephyr]

recreate a rust animation 1:1

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 17! **

[keen zephyr]

use the m39 btw its the best

[calm lagoon]

He’s probably going to say 10 then proceed to show his a2 work by going with his standards for other people

How would you rate this

[manic kindle]

a1

[calm lagoon]

a1

Low to mid area

[proper ruin]

What about my newest

[manic kindle]

mid a1

[proper ruin]

Isn't low A1 like the area an animation some guy with like 1 hour of experience made and it's a 4 keyframe loop of a walk cycle

If my animations are fr on that level what the fuck am I doing wrong

Here's something from 3 months ago

And here is my first ever

[potent oxide]

💀

[eternal meadow]

7.5/10

[eternal meadow]

3/10

Its just so robotic

[grave magnet]

left arm doesnt even grip on the gun consistently

[rigid siren]

im having proplem in blender like this why

[grave magnet]

im definitely not the guy to ask about that lol, sorry mate

[rigid siren]

how u animate then

[grave magnet]

im a moon animator type of guy

[dusky beacon]

Use child of constraints silly

[proper ruin]

Man

[dusky beacon]

Use em!!!!

They take 3 seconds to setup!!!

[proper ruin]

Getting told by a bunch of professionals my animations suck demotivate me too much I gotta stop asking for ratings n shit

[dusky beacon]

They aren’t professionals lo

Don’t let that stuff get to u

[proper ruin]

I've been doing this shit since like November of 2021 there's no way I'm still a "beginner"

[dusky beacon]

Just keep animating

[grave magnet]

that's what it takes to get better mate

criticism is muy importante

sometimes we learn that the demotivating way

[proper ruin]

I know that

I can take criticism

But like a flat out 1-10 rating doesn't help

[dusky beacon]

Don’t ask for ratings

Ask for feedback

Instead of saying “rate this” say somethin like “give me some feedback”

Just keep studying what your doing wrong and one day it’ll hit you right on the noggin and you’ll begin to see everything

Your making better progress then I was

Back then

https://gyazo.com/87c8c4e50c757a8f3c3e443fbae05b8d.mp4 5th the time I've posted this but I have nothing else new to show, I'd like some feedback on this

Things I've already noted for,
Longer bolt pull delay, and a more noticeable mag struggle

[dusky beacon]

Honestly

I like it

[proper ruin]

I made the model too if that means anything

[dusky beacon]

Only thing I add would be a longer delay between magin and bolt pull

[proper ruin]

Yeah

[dusky beacon]

But das it really

[grave magnet]

maybe don't have the mag clip thru the right arm

[dusky beacon]

Oh yeah that aswell

Simple fix

[proper ruin]

It's barely clipping

That hurts

You never notice until Someone else does

Gah I wish I was home rn to fix up this anim

cod inspired ak reload

[weak night]

The shaking is so intense when pulling and putting the mag back in and static

Also Here is a video to my problem, If anyone can help me please do. I've been here since the past day trying to fix this (I'm new to blender exporting and stuff like that)

https://streamable.com/vm8rk1

The Stick is a placeholder

But the stick does use a child of constraint to follow the hand

Let me check

How else would I make it as if the arms would be holding it?

I don't want to manually keyframe that

Thing is I can't continue without the animations made in blender

I could try

I could try to make a blender script that keyframes the objects world position

and then exports it

But I would have to learn to make blender shit

[long grove]

Would be some cool trailer xD

Or something in Avengers XD

[grave magnet]

oh dear

id feel like a douche if i commented on this so im just gonna stay quiet and let someone else do it

[weak night]

Still looking for any type of help

I am about to smash my computer

[grave magnet]

wish i could help mate.

[karmic badge]

just tell me whats wrong and ill take it into consideration on my next animation

im kinda a beginner

i dont really mind my work getting shit on

as long as i learn something from it

come on man

youre scaring me

you look like youre writing a whole lord of the rings trilogy about the issue

is it that bad?

[grave magnet]

well..its very shaky, every action seems overly shook. he brings the mag into the gun way too quick; it like snaps back to the magwell, arm clips through mag on transition to rechamber and b2i. not to mention the b2i is very linear and boring. it just looks really rough, i might even say cod cold war's ak had a better animation than that unfortunately
theres a lot of build up on the mag out, maybe even too much, and when he finally does smack it out, the left arm is really shaky
fin

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 10! **

[grave magnet]

epic

[karmic badge]

k, so basically, too much shake

[old moss]

cool

[grave magnet]

i just say what i see, i dont consider myself much of a valuable source of criticism all the time though

[grave magnet]

too much shake and too much variations on speed

[karmic badge]

i see

yeah it does linger awkwardly at times

wouldnt be too practical in game

[grave magnet]

the linger before and after the mag out is odd

[karmic badge]

lol idk maybe the guy just wants to watch the mag fly out

btw

does the mag bump at least look good?

[karmic badge]

and the cod cold war animation doesnt look bad at all to me

[grave magnet]

I thought the mag flying out looked alright

and cold wars animations are either disgusting or pretty good, there's almost no in-between

that's my opinion, at least

[karmic badge]

with my earlier animations, i thought that the arms didnt really linger enough and just immediately moved upon contact with another part of the gun. i went a bit overboard this time

[grave magnet]

if I didn't know any better I might even say you referenced your reload off of cold war

[karmic badge]

[grave magnet]

I stand corrected then

At the end

It's rotated too much

[eternal meadow]

you can kinda do that in irl

tho

[spare sage]

It's roblox

It's not a humanoid rig

[eternal meadow]

and i think its normal for people on roblox to animate like that

[spare sage]

Move the lower torso instead

Give me A1

I need help, so I am help my friend put an walking animation to his game, it works when I test in studio but in game it doesn't work

[exotic cedar]

you uploaded the animation to the wrong place

[eternal meadow]

i have a question

srs one

im trying to animate but all goes fast

[shell oasis]

you probably have a lower fps in blender so it makes the anim go faster in roblox studio

[eternal meadow]

no i used moon

[shell oasis]

oh then I dont know

[grave magnet]

the further apart your keyframes are the slower the animation plays

[eternal meadow]

hi

[weak night]

Here is a video to my problem, If anyone can help me please do. I've been here since the past 2 days
trying to fix this (I'm new to blender exporting and stuff like that)

https://streamable.com/vm8rk1

The Stick is a placeholder, But the stick does use a child of constraint to follow the hand.

[austere nexus]

Oh god blender shits

Also

Please make the swinging part faster

[eternal meadow]

wdym?

[grave magnet]

what animating in?

[karmic badge]

basically, the ownership and/or localization of the animation is wrong. i think you gotta export the animation in studio in his game. either that or give him the animation and let him export it himself.

[karmic badge]

blender constraints dont carry over to roblox since they use their own api and such. you gotta make another bone for the stick.

its mostly cause blender was never really intended specifically for roblox importing and exporting. if you take an r6 character and put it into blender, it wont show you the bevels on the arms, torso, and legs

[thorny dew]

how do i make a custom rig with only 1 part in it

[karmic badge]

you have to have at least 2 parts for a rig to work. 1 has to be there for the other part to connect to

just make 1 invisible

[thorny dew]

oh

well i did that

but it didnt work

cant make thing go up and down

[karmic badge]

weird

[thorny dew]

or i did it wrong

[karmic badge]

is anything anchored

btw i improved my animation from last time and made more guys

[weak night]

Ok, I will try to add a separate bone for the tool

[karmic badge]

have fun fellow dev

If I want to learn animation, what are some basic things I need to keep in mind

[grave magnet]

all your animations are so jittery

[lost token]

any tip to make my animation to feel more weighty?

https://gyazo.com/4f29a9e2f92c7fe725f22a5f406a6451

[grave magnet]

anticipation, speed, and exaggeration

[elder smelt]

make him not drop the gun with two hands at all, only when he puts it on his shoulders

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[grave magnet]

that is a sword

[lost token]

it in lower frames so the speed is like that

but i see what your talking about

[grave magnet]

not what I meant

adjust the speed in certain areas

slow buildup, quick movements, slow followthrough

[lost token]

i see

[grave magnet]

https://youtu.be/uDqjIdI4bF4?t=677

[lost token]

im new to sword so i tried it on a simple kick does this feel weighty?

https://gyazo.com/a513f9b20c529679fece4246fc007adf

[grave magnet]

it has good anticipation

[lost token]

what else could be worked on?

[grave magnet]

just give it follow through and exaggerate the kick

and fix the feet sliding

[lost token]

ok

[echo bough]

[hidden comet]

How would I go about making good combo animations in blender?

I've been working on a combat system for a Naruto game and I need animations, I have an idea of what kind of attacks I want. Like a non-stopping flurry of kicks and punches.

And I need them to work in a combo format.

Like a 5 hit combo

So I would have to animate each animation

But currently, I'm not sure how I should go about animating them. Is there any references I should use?

[eternal meadow]

idk i just started making a horror game

[hidden comet]

Any tips I should know?

[hidden comet]

Have the swing speed curve (as in it gets faster) and have it overshoot a little,

[glass sphinx]

Do you use blender or moon

[eternal meadow]

Moon

[calm lagoon]

are you using bezier?

[calm lagoon]

your mag out comes from the side

everything is too quick

theres no anticipation whatsoever

[grave warren]

GOD DAMN THAT IS GOOD

id probs rate that a 3

out of 3

ues

[eternal meadow]

this made me chuckle

[olive ginkgo]

what

[grave warren]

its very not nice looking

[eternal meadow]

a2's that are new to viewmodels will make it ass

[grave warren]

they are used to interpolation or whatever its called

i forogor

[ember atlas]

does anyone know how to make a Idle animation for a tool?

[proper ruin]

what

this looks like somones first anim

[karmic badge]

i used a bit of bezier interpolation yes.

[calm lagoon]

Everything should be bezier

Your animations feel too shaky

[proper ruin]

https://gyazo.com/e6470702114e8e5497e64c909efe5e73.mp4

[olive ginkgo]

blender

[calm lagoon]

no other than that switch to blender

[karmic badge]

shaky cause i used noise modifiers. i did use elastic interpolation but i smoothed it down a shit ton

[calm lagoon]

you shouldnt use any of that

if you want to change the interpolation of it use graph editor

[karmic badge]

i dont really know how to change the curves in graph editor

how you transform that stuff

btw i never watched any animation tutorials if that explains my fatherless techniques

[calm lagoon]

well then you should

[hard vessel]

Plz dont use noise modifiers for reactions

You gotta do it manually if u want to get good results

[karmic badge]

manually how

[calm lagoon]

Graph editor

Or add the reactions yourself by key framing the reaction pose

[karmic badge]

bruh i know youre supposed to use the graph editor. im asking how to quickly manipulate f curves on each channel

and how exactly the curve should look

ok i think ive figured out curve manipulation, but i have no idea how to sync the mag curves with the arm curves. they have different channels and origins.

[eternal meadow]

** You are now Level 8! **

[karmic badge]

@calm lagoon can you help

am i supposed to just manipulate the curve on the arm and then move the mag for each frame accordingly? i dont get it

[calm lagoon]

Do you not use child of constraints?

[karmic badge]

no. i dont usually use constraints cause i dont really know how and they dont turn out right anyway.

ill try tho

wait

but how do you do child of constraints with a rig
