Let me just say how much this helped. You walk me through everything perfectly and now that I understand the basics I can do it way better thanks to you. Thank you so much I’m subbing

[@Fireion]

Oh sheesh thanks for the tutorial dude! with this I can animate without useing the special keyframes (pressing 7)

[@Thundey]

feel free to use easings, this one was just more to my method

[@Fireion]

Ah alright :D

[@Sinoki1]

Using easings are awesome if you know how

[@Produmb2]

what are easings? I'm very new to animation and idk any of this stuff

[@Fireion]

@@Produmb2 easings are the different kinds of effects for your keyframes which will make your animation look more advance and clean (based on my experience)

Nice tutorial, taught me to animate more efficiently with this technique

[@VikkisL1fee]

Tysm, this was my first time animating, i learned alot!

[@-joker2010]

wow!!!! the way you make a base animation was good and i get the advantages of it easily thanks.

[@picklesisnotgood]

to make your sword animation look cooler try adding some trails and set the lifetime to 0.1-1

[@rolosencja5057]

How to add trails?

[@picklesisnotgood]

@@rolosencja5057 press the part you are using and press the plus button and type “trails” click and boom and you need 2 attachment press the plus button and search attachment (name them 1 and 2 so you dont get contused) and done

Yea your voice sounds way cleaner now. Just make sure to: 1- Hide your task bar 2- And make the background music a bit lower (5-10%) Besides that everything is good

thats preference lol bro giving hism tips on preference if YOU like the music to be at a certain level do that for YOUR vids its not sum u have to do its preference same with the task bar shit

[@nateg6084]

Great tutorial, I just wish someone would explain how to apply these animations custom characters/morphs for use in gameplay.

[@Thundey]

i wish i could be of any help with that matter of stuff directly but idk how to script, you can however look up things like "how to script combat", "how to make m1s roblox studio" etc

[@lukebomber9292]

Ok so what you want to do is firstly publish the animation copy the code, then search up a tutorial on how to do sword slashes look at the code and if you see an id for an animation replace with your id and then click but you need to finish the sword first

I found this very helpful, thanks a lot man.

[@WhimWearsBlue]

Great tutorial, I was about to go absolutely insane because I couldn’t move the character but then I realized that the sword was anchored, leaving this comment for all the other idiots out there that had anchoring ruin their lives.

[@aren1709]

this video makes me feel kind of dumb since i did not know these tricks earlier. but now i do so thanks thundey

[@around441pipissharingaytac4]

I dont remember if this correct but if you want to animate the prop while also having it welded to someone's arm here's how you do it. First, give it a handle blah blah blah like shown in the video Then Just click RIGHT/LEFT ARM in the rig, hold ctrl, and click the handle, then Press Join And put the sword model into the rig Now you can move the sword I found this out when trying to animate a hornet fight scene

[@fungumgamer]

This is very good! But I think you can make it better if you make the frames Quad In and Out because it’s good for slashing animations.

[@Thundey]

highly preference based linear allows for more control while quad or sine are easy shortcuts

[@fungumgamer]

But anyway Thundey this really helped for me to make animations for slashes, so thank you.

[@Nezzzzzar]

Thanks to you. My old minecraft looking sword hit now looks like an actual sword slash

[@jiroule1666]

tysm for the steps i just have one question how to add the animation to your game like how to use it

[@crypticbehaviour09]

Script

[@WiktorKozio-wc4nj]

First you need to make the sword a tool and the add a script to the tool then you need to make a function to the tool to when the tool is activated then load the animation and play the animation

[@lookin457]

I set my increasemnts to 00.005

[@Thundey]

you can set it to 0 or disable the check next to it

How does the arm rotate so smoothly, for me it rotates like 20⁰ by 20⁰ it doesn't go as smoothly

[@eggthepro2472]

hello, here's two quick questions i'm probably too dumb to figure this out but my moon animator says that its out of date how do i like update it, there seems to be no updating option or smth on top of that, when i animate with moon animator it doesn't show the frames before the change, such as 5:24 there is that red shadow thing

[@Thundey]

1) in studio theres plugins tab, on the very left side theres something called manage plugins. click it and you should be able to update moon and once you do you should restart studio to finalize it 2) the red shadow is called a "ghost rig" toggleable with the B key on your keyboard

you dont need to rig, all you need to do drag the part into the hand of the dummy, animatable weld it to the hand then just use rigedit to change the point.
