Changing skin mid animation

Well I've been testing animations and uploading some on my Youtube channel. Most of these are Minecraft TF2 animations. But what sucks is that even though the Blue Sniper shoots the Red Soldier in the head, I cannot change the skin mid-animation. So there should be an ability that allows you to change the skin. This can be used to show emotions, as I make silent cartoons, and the only thing to back it up on Youtube is text annotations. Please add this, and I will be really happy :)

 

 

P.S. Does Mineimator automatically update?

actually you can do this currently with a bit of magic

 

1. create 2 characters each with different skins. DON'T MOVE THEM

2. parent character 2 to character 1

3. tone down character 2's Alpha so he is completely invisible

 

How to change:

 

when you want him to change turn up character 2's alpha and in  the key frame after turn down character 1's alpha

it is possible, but it would be more easy a texture timeline

what if the hero sword breaks mid animation

I want to make it compact so like there's 1 timeline for a character instead of 5. I like your idea but it isn't very compact, and can only be used for short animations.

I was being sarcastic.

I ain't no dumb 9 year old.

 

I was A LOT worse when I was nine.

And my grammar was a lot worse.

When ever I use higher caps, that means i'm being sarcastic.

I got it. I easily get his kind of sarcasm. After all, we don't have a sarcasm machine. yet..

 

You'll understand this a little more when you've seen more of the communities out there.
