In the past, the community's preferred tool for any 3D modeling and animation was {{ModTool}}. However, this free program was discontinued in 2014, and modders did not want to be tied to an aging (not to mention Windows-only) program. Thus, we have generally moved to using Blender (see next section). The following information is preserved for historical purposes. | |||

See the [[Blender]] article for a general tutorial on using the free program to create animations for Oni. It also contains code snippets for automating certain tasks, troubleshooting advice, and links to an IK rig that makes animation much easier. | |||

Let's say that you want to convert a non-attack animation to a damage-dealing animation. Non-attack TRAMs do not have extents information used to notify the AIs about incoming attacks, so how do you generate this information from the animation? | Let's say that you want to convert a non-attack animation to a damage-dealing animation.

:1. Export the animation to XML with a body attached. If you extract using just "-extract:xml dest_folder TRAMsomething.oni", you'll get the 3D animation data inside the XML (namely, the tags Heights, Velocities, Rotations, PositionOffset, and Positions; for an attack animation, you'll also get Attacks and AttackRing, and inside Attacks' elements, each Attack element will have Extents at the end of it). | :1.

The type and order of player input for triggering a given animation type (such as PPK) is hardcoded, and new animation types cannot be created. To assign an animation type to a specific combo attack, you set a corresponding value in <Lookup><Type>. | The type and order of player input for triggering a given animation type (such as PPK) is hardcoded, and new animation types cannot be created.

==Just Frame input== | |||
Implemented by Delano762, inspired by the game series Tekken, a Just Frame ("JF") move means that you have to press certain keys (W+K or W+P) at the exact same time, which is more difficult than it might sound. Delano's mod [http://mods.oni2.net/node/353 54000 New Combat Moves for Konoko] has a collection of animations which utilize existing animation states differently to create new moves. | |||

Note that these animations are referred to as JF moves, not JF combos. The Crescent Moon Kick, as mentioned above, is an unintentional JF combo found in vanilla Oni. | |||
