To make an animation on Roblox, start by creating a poseable character rig in Roblox Studio. Open Roblox Studio, navigate to the Avatar tab, and click on Rig Builder. Choose either R15 or R6, depending on your preference. Select the body shape and block Avatar type, then click “Generate Rig” to create the rig.
Next, open the Animation Editor by going to Plugins and selecting Animation Editor. Click on the rig and create a new animation by typing a name and clicking “Create.” Now, you can start creating keyframes by right-clicking on the timeline and selecting “Add Keyframe.” Use the Rotate and Move tools to pose the rig for each keyframe, continuing this process for each pose of your animation.
To make your animation loop, toggle the Looping button on in the Media and Playback Controls. This ensures your animation will repeat seamlessly. When you’re satisfied with the animation, save it by clicking the ellipsis button and selecting “Save.” To use the animation in a game, export it by clicking the ellipsis button and selecting “Export.” Follow the dialog boxes and click “Submit.”
Finally, copy the animation ID after exporting. Create a script in your game and add the animation ID to play the animation. By following these steps, you can create and use animations in your Roblox games.
