Suggestion: Pose mode

[leihrod 615]

I had a idea that you could pose a object/mob easily, like it had a pose button, with.. maybe 3 poses, for example, when you are working on a EnderDragon, you need to start bending every part, but if we had a pose button or whatevs, we could easily pose it by choosing a pose, flying, standing, or maybe we could make our own custom poses, and we can poses them everytime, for example, when you spawn in a Human, he will stand kinda like a soldier, and you need to work on his body to make him stand like you want, custom poses can be great and useful, it's basically a shortcut, to instantly put i'm in a pose, victory pose, sad pose, running pose, just a idea i had in mind.

 

Also sorry for my bad grammar.

 

any thoughts?

nice idea and you can add ur custom pose that might be good

It's not that hard to just make the pose, is it?

It's not that hard to just make the pose

Well, depends on the mob, if it's a Ender Dragon, it would take some time..

If it was steve it, would not take much time, but if there was a button to instantly pose something, the 5 minutes of posing would be 10 secounds.

I say have 3-5 premade basic poses, for example the poses needed to make a walking animation, then select a posed character and save the pose as a file, which is then placed in some sort of presets folder. Then you can share them.

Suggested before, but the old topic got burried fast.

Yes ye yes

I know I'm late, but we are getting these 'animation template' things and stuff in the full version. Better explained by Avalon: 

 

"Now what I mean by this, is that it's like a rig, but for an animation. So it's like that terrible walking animation that you could easily implement, but with your own animations or others that have been downloaded.

 

For example, you want your character to shoot a bow, but you are too lazy to animate it. So you go on to mineimatorforums.com and go download some person's Bow Shooting Prefab. Install it in the mine-imator folder, right click on the timeline, and it shows all the animation prefabs you have already installed. The 'Bow Shoot' prefab is there. You click it and it's already animated". -Avalon

 

So I'm guessing we'll be able to use these for poses too.

Actually,I do believe .object saves poses,if that is what you are talking about

(i know I am late)

I dont like it because that takes half the point away from animating.
