Hello! i'm starting to use sfm and i was just trying to create something like stop motion. I wanted to ask you, do you advise me to do every move every 2 frames? I had come to a conclusion similar to yours, but the biggest problem I find is trying to understand the timing for carrying out the actions

@@dibe91able Definitely move along two frames, it's a good way of keeping everything organised. The timing comes from how far you move the bones. Keeping them close together is how you get a slow movement

Having soent about 30 hours in SFM and atill working on my first animation, you genuinely had me looking at this like a monkeh with a banana waved around in front of its face because of how useful it is. Great tips but also showing how to move limbs without constantly using the turning tool this will be a lifesaver.

Here's a tip. Make sure the different bones are all moving in 2's. If a single bone moved then it's safe to make another bone move as well, otherwise it'll look like a jittery stop motion mess that you see in early claymation videos. Learned my lesson.

thanks, i used to just do the basic stuff like using stepped and going very little by little with each keyframe and turning off motion blur, but you helped me adding bounces, using references, pressing spline button on the dots then pressing M to add in-betweens, and looking at the dots! edit: sorry for editing it so much times if its true youtubers get a notification when you edit your comment, i just commented before watching the full video and had to edit it.

Hi, I need help. I am new to SFM, and, whenever I do a simple rig on a model, I can not longer pose the fingers, I only see the spine bones and the points on the hands and the legs and head. How do I make the fingers animatable?
@Wbfuhn
@Wbfuhn 3 жыл бұрын
This only works if you have a specific framerate. If you're working with higher framerates you'll need to do some math and calculate how many frames you'll need to skip in comparison to lower framerates. SFM videos offered with SFM (Meet the Heavy, Soldier and Engineer), run at a low 23fps. The highest FPS option available is 72fps. This is ideal if you're wanting more precise and fluid animations, but youtube only has a limit 60fps, so it's best to work with the limit.
