i’m new to CEM and trying to learn how to animate. any good starter templates or guides for beginners? also, should I focus on math formulas or EMF keyframes?

ewan howell tutorials

#

sin(age * /speed) * /reach of swing

#

cos is like sin but offset

#

if u do ty sin and tz cos it will make a circle

#

clamp limits things like head_yaw wont be higher than a number u wrote

#

floor(age/x%number of frames)
can give a cool frame by frame effect "var.fl: floor(age/5%50) can do 50 frames and u can set
root.visible: var.fl==36 and etc

#

there's also IF statements, sin(limb_swing) * limb_speed

#

that's for the base

#

(and age is js gonna rotate/move/scale infinitly since it just uses ticks without going back)

#

also they're animating off pivot points

#

i will start with this and let you know when i have more questions

#

actually i do already have a question

#

i should probably start off with the fact that i'm using the cem template loader in blockbench

#

so do i just make a pivot point somewhere and then i can start animating from that?

#

oh wait nvm i found the animation editor panel, it makes a lot more sense now thanks

#

u may add another roots to them or replicate animations

#

for example if the leg root is in the body folder, u can make "leg.rx": " leg1.rx" and iit will move like the vanilla leg1

#

buut u can change pivot points in custom roots

#

"as i mentioned there is ewan howell tutors on yt"

#

i will go ahead and watch his tutorials, thanks a lot
