Animating technique

by Neil Marshall · in Artist Corner · 03/02/2002 (7:38 pm) · 1 replies

When animating characters, do people usually place all of the animations in one file or do they split it up so one file is the run sequence and one is the sidestep sequence, etc?

I find it to be a lot easier to have each animation action in its own file and folder. This way if I need to do any changes I can quickly do them and export the data. I can also easy control what gets exported through a unique CFG file for each animation sequence.

Having all of your animations in one file could be quite a mess because you would have to be very careful about how you create and animate your keframes and the interpolation between frames.
