The general WIP thread for animators.

I use Dagger's rig. It gives you better control over the movement.

I've bookmarked this thread as I've decided to give this a shot as well. There are various rigs, is there one that any of you recommend over the other and why?

 

Personally I'm still using the original rig supplied by turbo's tutorial,

I just set up constraints for the spine and limbs so they work in a chain when I move them to loc rot in the next position,

It helps me avoid the unnatural twisting of elbows and knees to a degree

your animations are great, what do you want to do with them, a patreon?

[Anobis]

Hey, i would like to create animations, but for some reason i cant get them to show up in game so i must be doing something wrong. In sims package editor, i dont have any CLHD files. Is that a probem ?

No patreon. I'm not interested in that kind of thing. I'll probably upload them here, if I get them to look a little better.

I think those need to be in there. Try again and make sure they're included.

Post screenshots. Did you import the blend file of your animation with sims 4 studio? Sims 4 studio was recently updated for the patch and for Seasons.

I did the whole sims 4 studio thing but i think package editor is the problem, i can't see CLHD files and even my XLM file when i import it is labeled as UNKN. On top of that this weird error pops up when i try to save it so maybe it would even work but package editor won't allow me to even save.

Try it again with a fresh copy of s4pe. Maybe something got corrupted, I don't know. It was said that extracting s4pe with anything other than 7zip will cause problems.

What ????

 

 

https://www.7-zip.org/download.html you can download 7.zip here 

You pick the version you need PC/mac, 32/64 bit

 

You can uninstall S4pe

 

And use 7zip to decompress the S4pe Archive.

 

and it just work.

 

[Anobis]

Okay, i got S4pe working correctly, thank you. Now I just have to figure out how to import my own animations :P.

I enjoy them very much. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Okay... I need help, I created some animations but I'm stuck at the XML part, It's not really hard but, where is the supposed template that the image shows?

 

I only have this 

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I saved the XML link, not the text, I feel like an idiot

@Zivyx

Dunno why on earth you are so hard on yourself!

Don't get me wrong, I'm very fussy about the things I make too,

But you've come a long way in a very short time and already you know far more about the Blender and it's features than I do,

Your animations are far better than you realize and not all that download them are so picky,

 

If I were you I'd be proud of the level your at as you are doing great and have potential to make a name for yourself,

You're becoming a lot bigger than you realize and you should put some thought into starting a thread so more can appreciate your progress,

Not everyone views these discussions outside of download section and a lot of people would find it hard to believe that this came from zero previous experience!

What do I have to enter in "animation_clip_name" in xml file?

You put the name of the clip there.

 

[Anobis]

Assuming that everything I entered is correct (modding toolbox values, clip name etc.) shound my animation show up in the game ? (It is not. I am just trying to figure out if the problem is xml file or not.)

I'll consider it, and thanks. ?

 

The cycles modifier in the graph editor seems to very useful. I've been playing around with mainly on this animation.

 

 

 

You have some great animations! I am very impressed about how real they look. Mine still look real stiff, but I'm working on it.
