There is many tutorial about how to animate a character in our game but i cant find answer to my simple question because i cant find any tutorial on how we create THE animation, every tutorial i found use animation given by the engine or template (idle, walk…) and they show us how to apply them in a character.
but if i want to add a “dancing” animation that didnt exist, can i create the “dancing” animation inside the editor?
because animation is just about setting keyframe for each bones we want to animate, so i think it should be possible to create animation inside editor ? :o
or i have to do it inside 3dsmax/maya (that i cant afford to buy) and that it seem a bit difficult to use if i am new on it ?
As far as I know you can’t create animations inside the editor you’ll have to create a character(or maybe something you want to animate) and you need rig it and animate it in another modelling program. you dont need 3ds max if you can’t afford it, you can use blender its free.
ive recorded simple anims pretty easily with it, there isnt really any docs on it though and sometimes ive had to restart editor to reset pose while recording but for simple stuff its very useful
