Nice!

Hey guys, I am stuck. I want to learn how to animate, but I don't even know where to begin. The tutorials given here have only given me more questions!

I have already spent several hours puzzling at existing animations, but to no avail (and yes, I have been looking at the node tree).
I would just like to be able to do maybe a spin-around thing or something like that, but I don't know how to group the bones in the armature aside from regular grouping. I also don't know how to use the nodes — like, at all. I feel like if I knew those two things, I'd be able to do what I'm wanting to, but until I can figure that out, I'm stuck.

Just wondering if any of you super talented people could give me a tip or two.

PS
I also don't know why you need to convert degrees to radians.

PPS
I apologise in advance for making all of you experts frustrated!

Are you trying to animate in Blender or Mecabricks? If you're using Mecabricks, this forum topic should be helpful. If you're animating in Blender you can either use node or keyframe animation; if you want to use node animation you need to install and add-on as Blender doesn't come with this feature. Feel free to ask any more questions you have, hopefully I'll be able to help you.

Thank you‼

I'm trying to do Mecabricks (for now), which is sorta what I was talking about. However, I probably could use learning Blender too (but I don't need to learn that yet 😐 )

I have read through every page on this forum, but the tips either don't work here, or are too complicated for me to understand at present 😖
Thanks for offering to help! (By the way, what was the link you were looking for? I've never been able to use the [url] tags successfully)

Oops, I forgot to add the link. It should work now.

Oh thank you! That looks like a perfect knowledge source!
