Animating Ponies in the Motion Editor [SFM Guide]

Подробнее о видео

I made this pretty detailed video over a year ago for a friend of mine (TsuriaDragon) who wanted to learn how to animate in the motion editor. Well, I've decided to make it public, in case any one of you might want to learn it as well.

This is the method I use to animate in the motion editor, and it is certainly not the only method. You should use this as a guide to get started, then you can perhaps create your own technique when you get better.

I'm by no means a professional animator; this video is so I can share with you guys all the stuff I've learned over the last couple years. Hope you will learn something useful from this :D
