Dance Dance Dance [SFM|Test] by argodaemon on DeviantArt (original) (raw)
So this was animated in probably 15 minutes or less. I don't normally use the rig, but you can make some decent base animations very quickly by puppeteering the rig, even for how badly the front legs work. While I won't use this for when making serious animations, I may for when making shorter, quick, stupid things.
Puppeteering is when you grab a bone on the model and move it while time is progressing. All movements are recorded. Do a few passthroughs holding different bones, refine a bit, and you can get some interesting effects.
This is far from great animation, but is pretty nice for something so quick.
