Apparently you can also re-size specific bones and entire models by right clicking a bone in the Animation Set Editor and clicking the button to add a scale control

AAAGHHHVMZIABFM, i'm confusing myself AND others!

Okay, here's how it is! You right click an entire model in the Animation Set Editor, it's here

[kanew2000]

the possibilities are endless!


now I need to resize a coffee cup so spy's hands fit it

[The Resonte!]

i hate collars i hate collars i hate collars i hate collars


how do i make this collar bone look decent and not bent inside out

along with other things like wrists

[Masterlegodude]

Don't rotate the collar bone like that, the human collar/shoulder can only rotate in very certain ways, rotate the upper arm instead for a position like that

As for the wrist, try rotating the hand along with the wrist

Just imagine how a real body would be positioned in that situation and try to replicate it as best as you can

[The Resonte!]

speaking of making things look good


how do you get "good" animation anyway

like meet the class videos

what is the secret

[Masterlegodude]

Well, Valve has plenty of highly experienced animators, and in more recent videos, they may use some motion capture, but then fix it up manually

Basically just practice, get a feel for animating with the Graph Editor and/or the Motion Editor and maybe look up some tutorials for making animations that look good and fluid
