Roblox AnimationIntermediateThe curve editor gives per-axis control and interpolation tangents. Before opening it, an irreversible decision: once converted to Euler angles, the quaternions do not come back.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateStudio turns video into keyframes in two ways: a webcam for the face, up to 60 seconds, and full-body video for an R15 rig, under 15 seconds and in a single take.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateInverse kinematics lets you pose several bones by moving one. IKControl brings that outside the animation editor, at run time — and it has four properties that have to be right.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateA step that makes a noise before the foot touches the ground is the symptom of a sound fired by a timer. An event marker on the timeline fixes that, and its parameter turns one marker into many.
Roblox AnimationBeginnerAnimating in Roblox is two things in two places: drawing the movement in the Animation Editor and telling it to play from a script. This guide walks both, with the Add Keyframe Here detail that ruins timelines and the case of the rig with no Humanoid.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateYour rig spins the arm around the torso, stretches the leg to the other side of the map or freezes in a T-pose while the animation plays smoothly in the Animation Editor. The defect is almost never in the animation: it is in the Motor6D of the rig sitting in the Workspace, and you can point at the guilty joint in two seconds.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateYour avatar shows up white in Blender, the pose snaps back to T every time you rotate an arm, and the render looks like wet plastic. Assemble and pose the rig inside Studio through the Motor6D C0s, export it already frozen, and leave Blender only the light, the camera and the noise.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateYou applied Decals to every face of your Studio-built character and the pattern came out squashed — then it vanished entirely the moment the model became a skinned mesh. Move the model to a MeshPart with a single 1024x1024 atlas and a SurfaceAppearance, so the texture follows the UV instead of a bounding box that no longer exists.
Roblox AnimationBeginnerYou dragged Reflectance from 0 to 1 expecting the room to show up on your sphere and got clouds instead. Roblox reflects the skybox, not your map — here are the three layers that get you close to a Blender render, including a script that mirrors your scenery under the floor.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateYou import your animated FBX and the character shows up frozen, so you conclude Studio can't read animation from Blender without a plugin. It can — through the Animation Editor's own FBX importer, as long as the rig carries the canonical R15 names and the action is baked before it leaves Blender.
Roblox AnimationAdvancedYour imported rig's face looks one way while the root's -Z looks another, so every system that reads direction — MoveTo, aim raycasts, billboards — reads it wrong. Find out which of the three layers stored the offset, fix it there with a script that rotates the root and compensates the Motor6D C0, and save the corrected rig as the source.
Roblox AnimationIntermediateYour animated character shows black patches on some frames, the shadow lags in blocks and a limb flickers near a PointLight — that's three different bugs wearing the same mask. Four 30-second checks tell you whether it's a flipped normal from Blender, the voxel lighting grid or a shadow-casting invisible part, plus a module that audits the rig for you.
