Post by farmkid4 »

Hi are there any tutorials out there on how to animate i tried to watch the ones on the caligori website but it would not work right this time. I just want to learn how to do basic animations any help would be great.

Which side of TS are you using ... modelside or workspace?

There is simple vertex animation
For Modelside there is the native Bones system
Then there is Motion Studio, a bones system plugin for Modelside
Then there is the new bones system at Workspace
Finally there is procedural animation for Workspace

And every chapter fills several tutorials ...

What exactly do you want to do?

i am trying to make a model bend over and touch the ground and make it walk and jump.

I think I'm using workspace.

So you need to learn the new bones system. Search for IK Handle`s rigging videos i would say

Don't forget Tom G's workSpace bones tutorials in the manual too.
You probably already have them installed on your hd if you downloaded
everything to do with tS 7.6.
