Heyas Tabuu! Long time since I posted in your thread. Could you give me an update on what projects you are working on? Is the "new and improved Tabuu" Still in the works? K Rool seems to be going well

Seems very basic. He's the Final Boss of DK: Tropical Freeze, right? I feel his Idle Animation could be a bit more menacing. His horn he shaking quite a bit. Though what are you aiming for? I know you're not done with it yet, but it would be nice to know what he's going to do. His left arm is very stiff. And generally I make damage animations by starting off with the pose, then transition into the next pose, kinda hold it, then transition back into Idle. Overall, they look okay, but they could be better.

Probably because it isn't animated :V

Seems very basic. He's the Final Boss of DK: Tropical Freeze, right? I feel his Idle Animation could be a bit more menacing. Yeah. It's a placeholder till I come up with better. In TF, he doesn't have an idle animation. He's always moving. His horn he shaking quite a bit. Though what are you aiming for? I know you're not done with it yet, but it would be nice to know what he's going to do. If ya only knew how difficult it is to pose and rotate that [censored]ing horn... D: It's like it moves in 2 axes at once. Instead of rotating freely, it moves in relation to the hand. I even tried freehand posing in the latest BrawlBox. Yeah, good [censored]in' luck. Oh, and he's gonna adjust his helmet, like he does in his boss battle. His left arm is very stiff. And generally I make damage animations by starting off with the pose, then transition into the next pose, kinda hold it, then transition back into Idle. Yeah, as Drogoth said, it's not done/animated yet. It's a WIP. And this is the technique for animating I use as well. For ALL animations. And once that's done, I do tweening from there. Overall, they look okay, but they could be better.
Noice. I'll get back to improving them soon. Thanks!

Would it be to late to add a copy of his horn & a new bone? One for when he's wearing it, and then the other for when he'll hold it in his hand? It's what I'm doing for my Bond film parody (40+ minutes and all of it is being animated via BrawlBox & Brawl). Say the horn is around his neck in the begining of the animation and then later he throws it up and grabs it with his hand. You could have the hand copy be scaled at 0 and then when it goes in the air you make the neck copy scaled to 0 and the hand one scaled to 1 to over the course of a frame. I think it would help animating, especially if he's going to be wearing it for most of the time. A short gif to better explain what I mean, note that it looked much better in game and was much faster and longer.

I make YouTube videos, SM64 hacks, Brawl Hacks (obviously), NSMBW hacks, and GoldenEye 007 Mods. I also have a short attention span and tend to switch around a lot and put things on hold. But when I do finish things, 95% of the time I gave 120% effort, the other 5% of the time I give 100% effort.

I had thought of it before but imagined it would be too complicated to use. But now I have no choice. Because if I have to pose that damn thing every frame on every animation I will toss my laptop out the window XP Well then, it's back to 3ds Max.

How many animations do you plan on having the horn in his hand? If it's not that many, then there's an easy way to make it hide instead of vis0 (which every animation would require one if I remember correctly). You can rescale the hand copy of the horn to be at 0, and then using 0.66 of BrawlBox, you can change the bone flags to be "NoTransform, Unk4" and it won't change in any animations unless actually animated. I don't remember when changing the bone flags was removed from BB, but it should be added back due to how useful it is. It's how I got my SM64 Mario to have multiple hands in the one-slot FitMarioMotionEtc.pac files, but only have the closed hands visible if you're not using the included motion files. Mariodk also used this in his SMBZ Mario moveset for the hammer.

Hi! Here's a new Wait1 I made: And the Wait 2 that goes with it: I made the Wait 1 a little more chaotic considering Lord Fredrik's nature. And for the Wait2, if you can't see it, he's fiddling with his helmet. I'm going to keep working on him now. Let me know what ya think!

great animations. although (assuming these aren't slowed down versions of them), his Wait2 could be a little faster, and more "jerky". cant really complain about anything else.

I suppose I can speed it up just a tad when he has his hands on the helmet. And mind telling me what you mean by "jerky"?

are yuo making lord fredrick a new whole PSA? I though you would just place him as a k rool alt in any way if youre interested, I can help you to rather make a dual character between k rool and fredrick you know like from 00 to 04 is k rool and from 05 to 09 is fredrick, each one with its own sfx and wait animations n stuff

Nope, thanks. He's not a K. Rool alt. He's a whole different character with a whole different boneset.

Hmm, maybe look at Mario's Wait 2 since he does the exact same thing with his cap. Also is the helmet rigged to it's own bone? Can't tell if it's moving or not. Anyways, looks good. The Wait1 could have a smoother loop concerning his body, maybe mess a little with when he starts leaning back. I have an idea in my head on how to maybe make it look smoother, but don't know how to explain it in words.

Pauses for about a quarter of a second 4. Quickly adjusts it 5. Pauses for about a quarter of a second 6. Quickly adjusts it 7. Pauses for about a quarter of a second 8. Back to Wait1

Having him turn a bit towards the camera would be very nice, too.
Then the players could actually see he's adjusting his helmet and not contemplating his existance.
