How to make animations look smooth?
« on: December 24, 2017, 04:08:06 am »
Nearly all animations I see have very smooth sitting down and lying down animations. I don't know how to describe it. There's no twitching to the pose after the character finishes transitioning to the pose.

How do I remove the twitching after the pose transitions?

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

you have to match the end of the transition animation to the start of the idle animation.

I can't get the end of the transition animation to match with the idle animation, is there any way to copy frames from one pose to another?

I'm pretty sure you can.
Try making a copy of the idle animation and animate the transition animation from there, making the start of the idle animation the end of the new transition animation by copy-pasting keyframes.
