BLENDER | Animate Multiple Rigs

I want to be able to animate multiple characters at the same time + the camera, to form a cinematic.

When I import an obj. file of a normal r15 dummy, blender only lets me import one, or it will error. I’ve realised I can upload multiple dummies if I group them all together, but then the issue of auto rigging all of them arises.

I’m using Blender 2.79, with the following rig:

Sadly, it’s almost impossible to animate 3 rigs at the same time in blender.

If you want to keep doing this in Blender, it’ll have to be one at time.

Or…

You could use Moon Animation Suite and animate multiple rigs in studio while having the same quality.

Resulting in stuff like this:

Plus you can animate multiple characters in one shot.

Here’s a tutorial:

Also, this works with R15 and everything else.

I’ve found a fix for this, use custom-rigged characters and append them as many times as you need.

I’d like to clarify that the first video (Animation Reel) by Nymfei was animated using cinema4d and that only minor details like camera movement (may) have been animated in moon. He uses a custom rig in cinema4d where he animates, exports it into blender, and then exports it again into roblox.

Can you clarify exactly what you mean?
