Gangnam Style in Alice

How did you get the arms to cross? I can't get the arms to to move. It usually comes off the body.

oh, that is because the model has very well done sub parts. The model is high quality, which is one reason I use it for my animations. It works the best so far.

What the heck is this anyway? I saw Saturday Night Live did something with it, but I had no idea what it was...

Gangnam Style? Look it up on YouTube and you'll see.

That's an interesting Psy / Master Chief cross breed you have there.

As for the glitches aforementioned, I would usually remedy character movements going off by never physically moving their parts, but by using poses instead. If you really have to move their parts, them dummies vehicled to the character are the best choice.

The "turn to face" resize glitch is really annoying. If the turn to face is to be done instantaneously, then "constrain to face" works without the resizing glitch, but it has no animation. A way I used of getting around the glitch before was by using basic trig in a function to calculate the angle between the objects and then having it turn the equivalent rotations; this can be quite useful for AI, because you can put variations on the angle and have a random uncertainty therefore.

I never used poses much. I never really found a use for them. Next time, I'll try using those. Thanks.

You never use poses??? I always use them, that's how I make 90% of my animations.

A little example I made awhile ago using poses.

Yeah, unfortunately. I never really had a reason to use them. That's very good. I'm surprised I never used them. Hopefully this will make all my animations much better.
