Animation Software

I'm wanting to create some custom animations for JA. I know that I can create animations in Blender but I've also seen the Dragon animation tool for the Ghoul 2 format here on JKhub. I am wondering which one would work better. I am only planning on creating animations for JA at the moment, though that might change in the future.

As someone who used Dragon back in the day, I can confidently say that anything will be better than that. Definitely learn how to do it in Blender. I'm not sure if there are any JKA specific tutorials yet. I believe @Ramikad has done it, if I'm not mistaken.

Not quite a tutorial, but I can help people through the animation process in Blender step by step.

And yes, as the name implies, Dragon is horror now. It was OK back then when there was no real alternative, now the only good options are either Blender or Softimage. I can help you with Blender if needed.

Thank you for the quick responses. I'm currently attempting to learn how to animate in blender. My blender version is 2.79. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are many tutorials for animating in 2.79 so I'll probably have to come back here for help from time to time. Once again thanks for the quick responses.

There are more recent versions of Blender, such as 2.9, you might want to have a look into.

Good luck!

I actually tried using blender 2.82 but could never get the JA ghoul 2 importer to work on it. So I went with an older version and got it to work on there.
