Any alternatives to MA2 (Moon Animator 2)?

Are there any alternatives to Moon Animator 2 that share same features?

I am trying to work on my game with my animator, but the thing is they use Moon Animator 2, which I do not have in my alt, which I use to work on the game.

Another thing is I am from a country where ROBLOX doesn’t accept local bank cards, which basically blocks me from getting it at all. Even if I use a foreign card on my alt, ROBLOX simply declines it.

And the last thing, are the game animations. Some of them are cutscenes, which means they feature more than just a rig (camera, models, etc), which ROBLOX’s clip editor doesn’t have support for.

So, I am looking for an alternative that share the same features as Moon Animator 2 and is compatible with MA2’s animations.

what was the point of even using “MA2” if you just put “moon animator 2” right next to it
also there is tons of github pages with reuploads of moon animator

Blender is a really good animation software.

I doubt it’s even a method to make cutscenes

UGC, Rigs, Animations yeah. But not cutscenes.

Well… I made cutscenes in blender using tricky ways but up to you.

What you essentially do is use animation events (in Roblox for the particles), and rig objects you want to animate to a central Rig. That allows you to animate a bunch of thing very easily.

you can write own thing, for example: GitHub - af2048/cut_scene_manager: cut scene manager for roblox experiences · GitHub

But is it compatible with MA2 files is what bothers me

why it should be in a first place?..
if it’s your project and your animator why does he uses tools you don’t have access to?..

if I wanted to write my own animation system I would not care about any third party solution. (Mostly because I do not use them. And I am poor too to pay for plugins).
If someone wants to get compatibility with the third party tool, they need to pay me for this option.

well maybe MAYBE because they live in a MORE CIVILIZED WORLD while I am STUCK in my RUINS with NO FUTURE

Ok, since that defines your reality, it should affect your requirements.
Either find new animator or ask current one do not use tools you don’t have.
It’s way easier than searching for theoretical tool that fits your niche needs.

I COULD use this account for MA2 but it’s pretty much been stuck with this dirty account location for 3 years I am not quite fan of which takes away my TEAM CREATE and CHAT

blender is your best alternative.

the UI and controls are definitely daunting at first, but you will quickly get used to things. besides, with how widely used it is in both ROBLOX animation and animation in general, there are mountains of resources at your disposal to problem solve.

even people in the Moon Animator discord server are uniquely helpful in problem solving ROBLOX-blender questions
