Getting Started with Roblox Studio Animation<\/h2>\n

Creating animations in Roblox Studio involves using the built-in Animation Editor, which lets you manipulate character rigs and objects through keyframe animation. You\u2019ll find this tool under the Plugins tab in Studio\u2019s toolbar.<\/p>\n

Setting Up Your Animation Workspace<\/h2>\n

First, insert a Rig into your workspace \u2013 you can use the default R15 or R6 character rigs, or import custom models. The Animation Editor works by creating Motor6D joints between parts, so ensure your rig has proper joint connections. Open the Animation Editor plugin and select your rig to begin.<\/p>\n

Creating Keyframes and Poses<\/h2>\n

Animation works through keyframes \u2013 specific poses at different time points. Move the timeline scrubber to where you want a pose, then manipulate your rig\u2019s parts using the rotation and position tools. Click the keyframe button (diamond icon) to save that pose. Repeat this process to create smooth motion between poses.<\/p>\n
