Methods and techniques for creating high -quality animation

[Roan1]

Hey, I’ve been diving into animation lately, especially for games, and I’m curious about the best methods for creating really high-quality animations. A while back, I was trying to animate a character running, but something always felt off—it was too stiff, and the movement didn’t flow naturally. I spent hours tweaking keyframes, but I think there’s probably a more efficient way to get it right from the start. Anyone have tips or techniques that could help? I’m also wondering if outsourcing this kind of work could save time without sacrificing quality.

For smoother character animations, start with strong reference footage to capture realistic movement. Focus on key poses and ensure natural transitions using principles like squash and stretch or follow-through. Tools like motion capture can provide a foundation to refine in software like Maya or Blender. If the process feels too time-consuming, outsourcing to experienced animators could save effort while maintaining quality. Always review their work closely to match your vision!
