OUTDATED Beginner Animation Tutorial Fallout New Vegas - Part 1 - Blender Setup/Basics/ Idle

Latest update So this video is very outdated. Most fnv animators have moved onto Maya software check out this tutorial    • Making Animations for FNV using Maya 2025   It’s not to say this tutorial won’t help you make animations for fnv, this still works. But the workflow is a lot more efficient for Maya. I highly recommend moving on from this tutorial series. UPDATE!!!! I updated the rig because there was some slight issues with it, if you already did your idle anim, the only things i fixed was motion bone had a slight rotation and location transform when it should be in the exact same place as idle bone. 10/3/23 after many complaints of blender files crashing on start up , ive uploaded a new one. try it if it still crashes idk tbh Beginner Viewmodel Animation tutorial for making Animation mods for Fallout new Vegas.
