Oh.. I'm meant to say FNEF..?

Welcome to my collection of WW2 Rigs!
This "Stockpile" has equipment from all over the world.
Make sure to select one nation or faction at a time as each one contains many items.
Enjoy!

If you have pink textures, there will be a skin to use in the Archive with the Rig.
All of the Infantry rigs use surface images, so make sure to replace the missing textures found in the Archive.
Infantry have problems bending body, Officers have problems bending body and legs.
All files in the Archives are important, including .txt documents. These include bug fix information.

Let me tell what I wish I'd known
When I lived and breathed animation:
You have compulsion
To create, complicate,
Perfect your vision...
Cringy homages aside, getting started isn't particularly hard, it just takes a lot of patience. You must cast aside any notion of making a good-looking scene and focus on the fundamentals by replicating dynamic movements with the basic Characters through consistent practice.
@AnxiousCynic, @Keep on Chucking, and a guy on YouTube called Skiedude have tutorials that will teach you a few techniques and shortcuts to take advantage of, but most importantly, they'll teach you the basics of how animation works. I recommend ignoring any tutorials having to do with special effects or flashy details for now as those may severely hinder your development.
Don't proceed until you can animate a Human doing all of the following actions organically: perform a wave using more than one part of his body subtly, direct his attention somewhere else, shift his stance, throw a punch, stand on one leg with poise, turn in place by ninety degrees, manipulate an object in hand, take a few steps forward, jump up off the ground after a slight squat, run in a girlish manner, fall onto the floor, travel up a few stairs, climb up a few ladder rungs, fall off of a ledge to a dismount, climb onto a ledge to a stance, block or dodge an attack, and throw an object (in that order).
These exercises are typically called "Tests." They begin and end abruptly, focusing on a small motion that lasts a couple of seconds. This will take a few months, and there's a chance that you may lose the motivation to continue. Keep in mind that you should animate whatever and however much you wish before attempting any step of my training guideline in order to keep yourself engaged. You could, say, animate a short duel between two Wither Skeletons before even attempting to have a Character turn in place. Any leisure Tests between the assigned ones are encouraged.
Needless to say, it will take more than one attempt at successfully executing any one of those assignments without either a firm grasp of how the software/animation works or a strong sense of organic physicality (usually gained through observing or honing athletic ability).
This could take you roughly two to four months of dedicated practice or around a year of dawdling or longer (although I realize it's a bit irresponsible of me to assign time-based values to an artistic process that varies from person to person).
If you take my advice and come back with results, I'll tell you what I truly wish I'd known when I became serious about animating.
P.S. I would also recommend exclusively using the Linear Transition for chain movements. If you want to see a stick fall over in one motion and decide to mess with the Transitions, that's one thing; trying to perfect a Character's motion with Transition combinations is another thing.
EDIT: Don't start by making walk/run cycles either, and don't even touch the Camera unless you're attaching it to something/someone.
Never plan your Tests early on; do whatever you want to do in the heat of the moment, whatever's exciting to you now. And, the moment you lose interest in a Test or find it too difficult to conclude, drop it and start another one with a fresh mindset.

I still can't believe this website filters out Five Nights etc. as "Fad" I'm in love

I'm rather new to animating, so I thought I'd ask the community about any tips / tricks to help me improve. Or maybe just some things you wish you'd know when starting out animating. I'm just asking for advice, and stuff like that. Thanks!

If you already didn't know @The Tan James inspired me to make this series, call it a reality knock off if you want cause its just inspired , however once you can make 4min+ MGB animations then you can start talking trash , however improvment comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Okay I really don't want to offend people here but I gotta get my point across. 

Putting aside these factors for a second:
- Minecraft
- "Reality Inspired"
- OC's
Basically anything that doesn't have to do with the actual artistic value of the animation. I think there's a number of things you could do to make it better. For starters, USE FOV  I cannot stress this enough when people do cinematography. Zoom is there for a reason, to make things look sexier. Also don't have the camera stay still for every single shot. have it wiggle a bit and explore the fact that what you're animating in is in fact a 3D environment. This isn't film making where you're restricted to how far you can reach or how stable you can hold the camera. Now for cinematic value, use the player rigs to your advantage. they have a face so do your best to portray everything through their face. Convey words without using words. Finally establish the setting and story before jumping straight into the fight. Answer questions like "What is happening now?" before continuing with the story. 

NOW. 
I just want to go and say that I can't really control these Reality inspired series. It's honestly up to the animator on what they want to do. The more I see them the more  I realize that I'm responsible for dropping this Nearly-as-bad-as-monster-school series on everyone. Please for the love of god find a different way to convey a story. I don't even want to finish R E A L I T Y at this point (I'm kinda obligated to because I promised my viewers AND Pepper that I would.) Reality was never supposed to be trying to showcase a cool edgy character. It was my way of venting my feelings of a difficult time to the world in a poetic way. You can't pull it off unless you know what it feels like to lose people the way I did (And don't go all "all this horrible stuff happened to me" because I know what it's like to lose friends in many different ways. I've lost so many people that I could go on but here I am not making edgy animations anymore) Soon enough I'm going to be off these forums, out of animation, off of YouTube and into the real world. I'm going to be coming up with MY OWN stories the same way ALL of you should. Nobody wants to watch a movie that's already been made, that's why most people hate remakes of other movies. Why most people say that the books were better. All of this is telling people to "STOP REMAKING" things. I hate seeing people being brought down for animations. But it's kind of your fault if you remake something.
Now I can't control your choice, but coming from the words of someone who actually wants to make a career out of writing, directing and producing, you should probably take my advice.

Idk why everyone's so bent out of shape about this. I thought it was funny =P

about animation though, that's a tough one
try to stay moving
start sort of fast slow ease out
head always moves first
transitions are bae when used correctly
leg movements are half the battle
oh also, never use flatlands on a wallpaper

Never always use Linear transitions.
For your first animations, try making a walking and running cycle.
If you wantto do an animating collab thing (not Megacollabs like SKIBBZ's latest one) then it's reccomended to get Skype or Discord if you don't already have them.
Don'ts in the Mine-Imator community
No dabs
no FNEF (you know what i mean)
no TattelTaile (you know what i mean)
NO MONSTER SCHOOL I REPEAT NO MONSTER SCHOOL
An exception is Undertale if it's really good.
 
BTW if you need more help then MSG me! ;D

fad animations are CANCER AND I REPEAT CANCER
