How do I make a good animation?

I want to make a good wave animation when the player goes near the npc but my animation either has the arm going everywhere or the arm goes in the head. How do I make it look real?

Also, it’s only r6.

Sorry for being late/necroposting.

You aren’t very specific. Did you make it yourself? What did you use? You sure it’s a good rig? Pictures+Videos are a ton of help

I’m using an avatar inserter plugin by AlreadyPro and the built in animation plugin. I like the second one better but it’s still pretty choppy.

Rotate tool only:

Rotate and move tools:

You should try going on to YouTube and looking up some tutorials.

Try animating the legs, rotating the torso a few degrees, and make them move a bit to the side if you are making a thing like dance2

ok, thanks, I’ll try that next time!
