You can't change the shape of the animated block, but you can make it appear to be stretching by using additional blocks.

Does animation take up level complexity? I need to know so I can delete stuff in my level before adding the update

[@ImaRainbow]

No. The objects/models you use do, but the animations themselves do not.

FINNALY FROM OCTOBER TO NOW! THE RELEASE DATE IS REVEALED (I might watch Kung Fu Panda 4 before I test out animations)

There is no camera thing in Grab.

[@JamesBlob88]

Awwwwww

[@shadowbonanimations9381]

I want to be able to animate a lot of objects together in one animation

[@ImaRainbow]

You can group as many items as you want, but you have to animate the individual pieces first.

[@ThunderGame.Z]

i don't want it to loop, please help, i only want it to play once

[@ImaRainbow]

So at the last point, just add a lot of time. It get there and wait as long as you set it for.

Forever as far as I know.

My first level in my newest level is big tree

[@ImaRainbow]

Sounds great.

[@MalSipper]

how do you animate a person to pick up an object

[@MalSipper]

Please reply

[@ImaRainbow]

You'd have to create a model. Then animate the model to pick up the object step by step. It will take awhile, since you have to animate each movement.

[@KboGamez]

As a verified creator, these tips are valid

[@ImaRainbow]

Nice to know I'm not invalid. Thanks!

[@D3xter573]

How did u get the camera

[@ImaRainbow]

Second me on my other headset. Works great for standing shots, not for moving around.

Quess what happened to grab vr in my VR I could not hear anyone so tried to reinstall it and only says queued now.

[@ImaRainbow]

Hope you get it sorted.

[@Burgker]

For gravity makes a great anchor I would just put a tiny block for the anchor instead because the gravity block takes up 10 complexity

[@ImaRainbow]

Suit yourself. I'm rarely close enough that I have to worry.

[@Diudo123Amogus]

It releases the day after after my birthday 💀💀💀💀

[@Freek_a_goober1356]

I can animate!!

[@ImaRainbow]

Terrific. Now make some cool maps!

[@Duck6971]

Hey if you break a rule in a map like asking for tips can your whole grab account get banned or just the map and if the map is banned can you still play it

[@ImaRainbow]

Here's Slin's Official Ruling- "The amount of levels and players asking for tips has gotten a bit out of hand and as a result I updated the community guidelines to no longer allow asking for tips in any way. Any new cases after this update will get warnings or bans. Levels that already did it before will be removed if not updated (but without anyone getting bans for it). So please update your levels if needed."

So like smoothing

[@LoshGD]

@@ImaRainbow like smoothing the animation

[@ImaRainbow]

​@@LoshGD Now I understand. The smoothing is built in between one frame to the next. Your model or group will use it's x,y,z coordinates to transition between frames. It will turn and align itself to get from one position to the next. That motion is very smooth. However, its still up to you to provide enough frames to move the model the way you want it.
