Animations
Record motion live or build it from keyframes — and play it back with a key.
Only what has a track is played back: every other bone stays with the tracking. That is exactly why you can keep talking and looking around during an animation.
What is Free and what is Creator
| Topic | Version |
|---|---|
| Playing, stacking, triggering by hotkey | Free |
| Default animation, adding existing animations | Free |
| Preset animations wave · nod · bow | Free |
| Animation Studio: recording, keyframe editor, tracks, action keyframes | Creator |
| Preset animations cheer · spin · handstand | Creator |
| Props in an animation | Creator |
Creator is a Steam DLC. Every Creator feature still runs in the free version — while one of them is in use, the watermark lies over the picture.
Two routes
- Recording — you act the motion out
- Keyframe editor — you build it bone by bone
Playback
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Shortcut | The trigger, in recording mode too |
| Speed | How fast |
| Play backwards | Reverse direction |
| Loop | Repeats |
| Blend time | A soft transition in and out |
Existing animations
Recordings are global: one animation can be used in several scenes. Add existing animation brings it into this scene.
Note: "Remove from the scene" and "delete globally" are two different things — see Managing animations.
