Animation Timelapse #1

Added 2022-03-23 14:46:13 +0000 UTC

Heya! I might not have mentioned it previously, but I animate a lot.

Since the diving board is mostly done, and that was animated mostly with TS3 conversions, it's time to practice my animation skills again by animating a Merry-Go-Round object from scratch!

Transition animations! I wanted to talk about them. Animations like climbing onto a diving board, or getting into bed. Most modders usually don't do them, like they either teleport the sim, or fade them in and out.

I can definitely see why, these little few seconds of animations take so long compared to loops because animating people walking is surprisingly time-consuming. Other modders don't see the benefit of them, I suppose.

If that wasn't enough, here's the one hour of footage, unedited except for when I wasn't moving the mouse. Here's the realtime footage of me animating!
