Questions for Animators

[Squiggy276]

I am very new at animating and have a few questions to ask to help make my animations worthy of posting.

 

1) I have noticed that in all animations at least one apendege (Foot, Hand, Knee ect) is staying in one spot. With FK rigs, mine are moving no matter what I have tried. what is the trick here?

 

2)  Is there a set number of frames you are using for your animations or does it vary?

 

3) is there a list of sounds that are used?

 

4) is there any sort of IK rig out there yet?

When you get to the point where your animation is not working in game, it's ALWAYS the xml file... stop remaking your animation, that WASN'T the problem lol.

I honestly think Turbodriver delivered a so-so explanation about certain things, regarding the XML. People always do mistakes on the same things XD
