I very often make character animations with welds. This requires me to set single-frame poses, which includes angles (and sometimes small offsets) for each limb weld.

A life saver would be a plugin that lets you rotate limb welds of a character dummy. Pressing a button would then print all the components of each weld's C0.

@jewel I do have a bit of a system in place, it's just not in plugin form.

@oplmn1 everybody asks that. There's no clear way to answer it, except I can say that the animations in Strife by Fenrier are done by welds. Look at the comparison.

Animating with welds with FE is impossible.

Using welds for animating is a plain stupid idea anyway.

"Animating with welds with FE is impossible."

1) False
2) I don't use FE
3) this would still be useful


"Using welds for animating is a plain stupid idea anyway."

It achieves a much better looking transition. Plus, I'm making weapons for Script Builder games. Animating with welds is more standalone, and I can add my own mesh effects to match stuff a lot easier.

This is what I'm working on. There's absolutely nothing laggy or flawed about the animations, and they look much better than I could get with ROBLOX's animation system even if I tried for hours.
