Progress is slower than I'd like, but I'm making steady progress on one of two fight animations I'm working on. :)

@@Kiku-Ichimonji yessss! Take your time but reassurance was needed 😎🥹

No, sorry. >.<

Thanks for your comment 👍👍👍

Thanks a lot! The same animation principles used in more modern animation programs can be used in MMD, but you may have to make workarounds to get passed some of the limitations it has as you get better at animating. There are many MMD fights that you can find on UA-cam by more skilled animators that really show how far MMD can be pushed. I'd recommend checking them out. ^^

No, sorry. >.< I also heavily edit the models with many different bones to help me in the way I animate, so my motions would be useless, unfortunately. Good luck! ^^

@@Kiku-Ichimonji oh what about motion commissions?

@@Nazoou_Neon I just upload things I create here. Nothing more, sorry. ; ;

Thank you so much! I''m not very good at animating, but it's super fun and has made me happy for years now!

Yes. ^^

Thats really great, I thought that MMD could never make such a good fighting animation like this. But you changed my mind, Thank you :)

Timing is something that I just have a feel for, or adjust as necessary. I'm not sure how to explain this, sorry. As for chaining attacks, applying the animation principles of Follow Through, Easing, and Overlapping Action has worked best for me when transitioning from one pose to another. I'd recommend learning these three before anything else. Because MMD doesn't have a normal graph editor, I apply those principles while animating sometimes every frame for each bone within the pose transition. It's very important to make sure the flow of each bone's animation is moving correctly and smoothly in every direction. I'm still learning myself and experimenting at the time of this comment in a practice fight project. Animating is quite hard, but it's fun. Hope this helps! ^^

Thank you. ^^

I didn't use IK arm bones here, but I've added them for my next upcoming fight animation. In this fight animation, I had added extra spine, head, hip, center of gravity, and feet bones to give the animation a smoother look and feel. It's easier to animate with multiple bones for each joint because of the fact that MMD lacks a real animation graph editor. Hope this helps! ^^

@@Kiku-Ichimonji oh thats impressive!! is there a tutorial you followed to add those extra bones?? I've been trying to look for tutorials on how to do it but so far I only so IK arm tutorials

@@R3yn4_ I learned how to add the bones myself after playing around in pmx editor. You click the bone you want to duplicate and right-click "Add Here" in the pmx bone tab. After that, you place the bone where you want and reassign the bone parent order. You should now have two bones that mimic the same movement, allowing you to overlap the animation, interpolate different directions, etc. Extremely useful for MMD.

@@Kiku-Ichimonji interesting I'll give it a try, thanks!

Applying the animation principles of Drag and Overlapping Action is what I do for fluidity. Ease-in/Ease-out afterward for smoothness. I try to prioritize those three principles. Recently, I've added in the principle of Arcs as well, as this seems to also give the animation a more fluid feel because of the different directions possibly being overlapped. I'd research the first three before anything else, though. I also use a frame-by-frame approach to animating bones after the initial posing. I use this when I need more control over how the animation will turn out. Hope this helps!

@@Kiku-Ichimonji I really appreciate it, thank you!
