I’m make mesh character, which can be animated with bones. But I have 1 question - can I animate it using script instead of Animations?

#2

Yes you can set the cframe of bones by accessing bone.CFrame

#3

When I’m trying set Bone.CFrame, or use Bone.Transform, Bone changes CFrame, but mesh doen’t changes…

#4

Have you tried moving the bone normally, does it deform?

#5

Yes, I tryed. Mesh don’t deform, only bone changes it’s position.

#6

Oh, well mesh deformation requires a rigged mesh to actually deform the bones. Simply adding bones won’t make it deform.

#7

I’m rig it in blender. With AnimationEditor plugin they can affect mesh. But If I will try move bones in Studio without plugin, bones don’t deform mesh.

#8

How did you import the mesh, through setting the meshid or did you use the avatar importer?

Maybe I find solution… Let’s try it…

I find solution - In studio, I rename bones. And this broke everything. IDK why but animator works even with wrong names. Anyways, thanks for help!
