[@akumai1269]

My keyframes play too early can you make a tutorial how to fix it?

[@TufDunavus]

I cannot make a tutorial for that but i can explain why is the keyframe playing ''early''. Basically you might've copied the next frame and put it more earlier or maybe the ease that you are using it's in ''in'' style (goes faster in start).I suggest for beginners to go with constant keyframes so they can train their animations skills and after with linear.

[@akumai1269]

@@TufDunavus which easing style is constant?

[@TufDunavus]

@@akumai1269 there's 2 styles of keyframes: linear and constant, linear has ease which can change it's speed while constant doesn't have ease because it's instant movement. I'm sorry if I confused you in the start with the styles but now you should understand that easing it's only for linear.

Well as I said the torso moves the entire body, so if you want to move the torso but keep the other parts in the same spot,make a keyframe with the original pose,use onion grid and copy the first keyframes on the moved torso.

how to mirror an animation

how to make character that isn't roblox face, just like the face u use in the vid and i wanna know how to make body parts, too

[@TufDunavus]

First, you can search in tool box for more face packs, second for body parts, you should know how to build a rig and how it works, if you get a R6 from RS, it will work in moon animator, if you made a model by you, you must weld every part and add humanoidrootpart.

oh my bad, I’ll try to rephrase: How did you mirror the second half of the running cycle animation. I am trying to make it Symmetrical like you did around 5:21. (Also I appreciate the tips!)

@@Raij1_n just turn on the repeat button (the one that look like a recycle sign) and if should mirror it. But if you want to (mirror the last part of running) you will need to use the onion rig and copy the same poses for the arms and legs (torso is not counted here).
