Animating help

[Kitsu-NeshKaa]

Hi. I want to start working with animation. Tried to work with Blender. (How many animation frames can I upload at one time?) Where do I start? Are there tutorials besides XSI Mod Tool?

I don't think so, people here just seem to use Blender to rip and port models from other games. Loads of threads in the WIP area are nothing but this.

Animating is animating, that simple. You can literally follow any video out there and apply it to what you're doing. The biggest hurdle is setting up a biped rig to control the skeleton.

If I understood correctly, the Blender plugin supports import/edit/export animation.

I never said you couldn't animate with it, you're just not going to find any info on that subject around here on it.

The bare JA skeleton as is really isn't any good for animating no matter what software you're using, it needs to be constrained to a biped with IK.

If you want to animate with Blender I'd recommend you to learn the basics of animating and how the software works before looking for something specific to the context of JKA. There isn't one single good tutorial though, you'll have to try and watch as many as your time allows you to so that you can gradually understand what the whole process is about.

I need to understand how the Exporter and Importer work
