So I am making a custom animator

PLEASE PLEASE correct me if this is the wrong category, I really wanna get this info lol.

Anyhow I am currently creating a custom animator, cause moon animator is to expensive for me, and robloxs suck, and by golly for the life of me cant figure out blender.

Any how Im about 20% of the way though the project but I was wondering what kind of features it should have.


So here I am asking! Heres a list of features you’ll already be able to have:

  • Animate Decals and Textures
  • Changing Meshes and Textures
  • Scaling objects in the animation
  • Part time Parts (Parts that are in the animation only for X amount of time)
  • Other basic features the default animator has.
  • Activate functions and methods within the animator
  • Animate multiple rigs and other objects.
  • More but Im not gonna list em.

Now what are some feature ideas you have for it? As I will be releasing this eventually I best get some good features in.

Anyhow thx :3

Goodluck with that, since MeshPart.MeshId cannot be changed at runtime. However I read somewhere Roblox was in the process of adding a method to avoid this issue

Heh well I can try lol.
Hopefully they add that soon though lol

Just copy moon animator and make it like blender. Now you won’t get any legal issues and have a good plugin. Also it would be better to just LEARN blender than to make an entire plugin yourself. I know this is a bit discouraging but I’ll just say it would be EXTREMELY hard to pull off. As well as getting reputation on the market! It is already dominated by moon animator.

Are you coding a full animator? if so good luck.

Yes very good points!

Yeah It would def be easier to just use blender but wheres the fun in that? : D
Anyhow I do know blender quite well, I would just rather do things inside of roblox instead of going back and fourth, plus I need the practice lol. Also the whole importing rigs into blender n stuff has taken away at least 50+ hours of my life and I dont want to keep dealing with that :3
I also dont care much for overtaking moon animator, I will probably just leave this as free, or maybe just cheaper, but at the same time make it better than moon animator (in theory ofc), thats my goal of course.

Still good luck with that. It’s not easy making a full animator. It will take you months if not years to make it work without bugs and have all the features of blender and moon animator.
