To those who are waiting for the second episode, the Q&A, and the event video, those videos are being worked on. This video was already in progress when I started those projects. I will keep everyone updated in the community tab EDIT: sorry about messing up the part about where the arm should be facing. I genuinely thought that is how it should be and due to this I apologize. I will heart every single comment that talks about this mistake as a way of saying sorry 😭

Experienced animator here. One thing that would help is that Moon Animator has a reflect and stride feature. I am not animating in MA as much as I used to now (going to Blender actually), but reflect (alt + R) mirrors the entire animation, which would save a lot of time from animating the other half. Stride (M) splits the keyframe into two keyframes, which makes the animation a bit smoother. The distance the keyframes can split can be specified by the user (ctrl + M). This is very helpful for linear animations. When it comes to walk/running cycles, the arms move opposite of the legs (if the right leg is forward, the right arm is backwards, and vice versa with the left limbs). Have fun animating :)

[@v-film-studio]

@@CanadianProud_ Thank you for your advice. I have animated with moon for almost 4 years now and never knew this existed. Thank you for shedding some light on this

[@CanadianProud_]

@@v-film-studio You're welcome. This feature only came into MA 2 (og MA did not have such feature). Also my animation experience is closer to a little over one year worth of animating (I have been using MA for almost three years now) :D

[@annashaju]

so in the movie vid what do you mean piracy

[@Probogen]

@@CanadianProud_ i dont think MA needs you to hold ctrl for stride, at least for me i dont have to hold ctrl

[@Raiden.04]

I have been begging. CRYING. TO ANIMATE THE LEGS AND THE ARMS THE OPPOSITE WAY GOD DAMMIT

[@ARobloxDev]

bro fr said "because of the lack of basic human movement understanding" but did not acknowledge that if you walk and put your arms in the way as your legs, you will automatically make them go in the opposite way unstead, get up and try it.

[@itsrobert0076]

fr bro literally so many people mess that part up

[@ManFaceMan1]

bro its so easy to do a walking anim, ive done the legs and arms the opposite way its pretty easy

[@Raiden.04]

​​@@ManFaceMan1 i admit, walking animations are relatively easy. It is just this tutorial is probably gonna need to be renamed as "How to animate Robots walking"

[@callmecozmic]

@@Raiden.04 I just added super small head movement and made the arms move inward a little bit during the walk and it turned out way better

[@ErrorAnimationz]

Reject walking. Embrace teleporting.

guys if you want a very good walking animation make the legs and arms opposite each other (meaning if your left leg is going up, your left arm is going backwards.) no offense to v-film-studio, this is still helpful though, It's just the posing that's wrong(You can also just use references in walking/running cycles, so I hope this helps.)

[@SoloisCriminal]

I was literally just looking for this yesterday, and every single person was just yapping and crap. Thanks for a real video.

[@schrad_er]

Alternating the arms and legs make the animation much better

[@B-31961]

yea, because a human doesn't walk like its right arm is glued to its left arm or smth like that i just see a lot of people make this mistake even in the toolbox models

[@Shreder3.0]

​@@B-31961 ye,but ummmm... Dr.Livesey walked like that so-

[@B-31961]

this is a cartoon, so you cant really see where is the right and left leg that much if you try to walk like that irl, it would be a little uncomfortable

[@arandom_bwplayeralt]

@@B-31961 it makes a HUGE difference in animating

[@OfficialVete]

a "little" smth smth i just wanna say. people naturaly walk with 1 arm foward and 1 leg backwards (note that my grammar is bad) also you can press ctrl + r to mirror it and you can copy the legs and arms of the mirrored version, unmirror and paste great animation your tutorials can be helpful and its great to see people teaching others to animate, we need more animators

[@xsixx]

Great tutorial

[@v-film-studio]

@@xsixx 🙏

[@InflatablezPlus]

MAKE MOON ANIMATOR FREEE SO BEGINNERS CAN MAKE ANIMATIONS

[@Cardboard-Animations]

one thing to note is to make sure that when the one side of the arm goes forward, the leg on the opposite side does as well. Very good tutorial will use in the future

[@usecode_guest]

Mhm, if you make your arms move the same side as your legs in real life it just feels so robotic

[@TaruneExclusiveCat]

@@usecode_guest yeah ofc, no human does that so ofc itll look very robotic

[@Rekitor]

​@@TaruneExclusiveCat said ofc twice, bro was not having it

[@TaruneExclusiveCat]

@@Rekitor :3

[@Tinn1313_tp]

thank you so much for this becuase in the past i made the speed of the leg not matching the speed of the dummy so thank you much for this, this really help me

[@electivesXiqwaz]

thank you so much this help way to much i have been so bad a animating and you help me a lot i just subbed keep up the great work and have a blessed day🙏

[@SL_RivviN]

I have not heard a Nerk song in so long (like 5 years since I've last played my summer car), the nostalgia trip hits too hard

[@Nesse5]

LETS GO WE FINALLY GOT A WALKING ANIMATION AFTER YEARS W also i needed this bc i avoid walking in my anims 0_0

[@pent6841]

when it finally comes to the best channel.. it goes HARRRDD

[@squadrel9479]

Instead of reversing the position every step, I just copy the keyframes and then mirror using (ctrl + r) and then paste the keyframes somewhere else.

[@DJ_B300]

I like to animate! Thanks for the tutorial! I’ve been looking for a tutorial like this.

[@Viceroyez]

When doing tutorials like these, I recommend adding a little part of what keys are you pressing, helps us to process it a bit better! 😊

[@crazyproductions5710]

Where have you been all my life with my janky walking animations 😭😭😭

[@def_liam]

Hey there! Thank you for the tutorial! it really helped! I subscribed!

[@officialuni1208]

bro i needed this walking and running are my opps in animating

[@the_broski_sigmas]

one tip with walking running etc, if you want it to be more realistic in the vid he says left arm will be the in the same position as the left leg but in reality people don't walk or run like that, some people may not realize but when you walk if your left leg is the one in front your left arm will be in the back like the right leg then the right arm will be in the front like the left leg, yes i know some people won't care about the walking but some will

[@ultraboy160]

5:28 nice A u got there buddy

[@DomPlayzs]

seeing the arms and legs go the same way feels so wrong like when the right leg is ahead your left arm swings ahead NOT your right also how to you swap between the rotate & move controls i never knew that was an option so my characters have always walked in the same spot

[@creasedjordan1s]

r to swap

[@mxdagamedev]

YOOOOOOOOOO, THIS IMPROVED ME UP LIKE 100 LEVELS UP!

[@Ipad_cat]

I trained a bit with this and i really improved!!! THANK YOU 🗣️🔥

first tutorial i wasnt lost in WOW

"i feel as if i was standing my entire life and i just sat down"

[@GadgetWanderer]

aye man Just saying I really loved the PawnShop losers, I can't wait for, Ep 2 to come out

[@lugland]

Instead of repeating the walk for the opposite direction, you can click "ctrl + r" to mirror the animation. Then copy it, ctrl r again and paste the keyframes at your last ones.

[@emeraldaks]

Спасибо за видео, раньше я анимировал кое-как. Но теперь благодаря этому туториалу, я смогу сделать адекватную ходьбу.

[@mccheemser2443]

New banger just dropped

[@paperbagproduction_s]

the legs and arms move the opposite way then what you explain, if you get up and walk around your room or whatever you’ll see the alternate opposite of each other. if you do it the other way it looks much more natural 👍

[@tdsnoob3865]

Thank you man, i really needed this.

[@Coke-d_Up-Animations]

Bro Is making an tutorial of anything 😭🙏

Your animations have really improved

[@astolfoo8352]

wow this really helped me, especially the part where he didn't tell me how to even use moon animator.

[@user-sp3be3fn3s]

are you so disabled you need guides on how to open up moon animator and add the character?

[@JadenTheAnimator]

theres one thing i suck at in animation. walking. with my *TEN MONTHS* OF EXPERIENCE ANIMATION

[@RyanEXElol]

0:35 I had normal city skylines and I was addicted to it, I almost bought every DLC and played it a lot lol

[@v-film-studio]

@@RyanEXElol city skylines 2 is honestly a disappointment. Not touching it until it gets better

[@RyanEXElol]

@@v-film-studio I sadly bought it-

[@v-film-studio]

@@RyanEXElol same here. Worst purchase I ever made 😔

Awesome video!, can you show how did that ragdoll fall thingy animation on 0:33 ?

I’m sure he just took his character, unanchored everything, Ran studio and recorded it falling into the things

Gotta take notes for my GMOD animation that I am never gonna make!

[@Mini_Animation-zh2qc]

The only one who lacked the idea of how a human walks is kinda you. WHY DID YOU RUIN SUCH A GREAT ANIMATION BY MAKING THE LEFT ARM AND LEG GO IN THE SAME DIRECTION 😭

[@reedsarte]

thanks man! im trying to become a roblox animator from scratch. (idek what im doing at all)

[@FallMetal311]

You could recreate the Merengue from watch dogs 2

[@DKAtheSecondAKATheAnimationDKA]

why are the arms following the legs, that's not how it works, it feels so awkward to walk like that. btw at 4:14 don't start over, go to the 3 dots on your rig and add cframe and use that to change the position

[@Frost_Moon_Ice]

tysm bro i need this so much!

[@camp4935]

when this channel make a tutorial 📈

[@Cookie_clicker]

U ARE D BEST

[@just_Azilll]

right arm follows left leg, left arm follows right leg.

[@Bloodwoods]

Why is it not letting me move? It’s just giving me the rotate option.

[@Mewxxy01]

omg my summer car song spotted

[@apox_gaming]

Best turorial!

[@Baconbelike]

Ok most of youtuber that i know such as tntblox and other youtuber keep doing walk animation with same direction between arm and legs

[@user-zp8xw4mv1l]

Can you remake the running animation for R6 in the Roblox animation editor? I wanna use the run in my game. DO NOT WORRY I WILL GIVE CREDIT!

very clear ty

[@user-ql7uy4wo4n]

Thank you for the video. And I have a question about animation. I installed a plug-in to make an animation that rained in Roblox Studio, and when I tried it, it rained as it pierced the house How do I solve it?

Okay we done the animation but how do I really move with that animation.

why cant i move the limbs up and down like how u do?

The arms have to face the opposite direction of the legs

Ok but I have a walking animation, now how do I add it into the game?

how did you get the moon editor

what if i don'tt have lunar ? how can i make an animation like tthis?

W video 😎

[@Nistio1]

0:00 - 3:35 bro made A0

[@Jack-me167]

Question to. Is it possible after we make a rig that can walk we can just ctrl C and Ctrl V then they can walk too? Or if we wanna make multiple rigs walk we gotta make them one by one?

[@v-film-studio]

@@Jack-me167 I’m believe you are able to copy the animation from one rig to another but i personally just animate them individually

is moon animations are the same as the default roblox animations? cuz i don't see the difference between both of them...

@@balymia yes. I only recommend buying moon animator if you are planning to make videos with it. For Roblox games the basic animator is more then enough
