Description
So yeah, here’s my very first SFM animation ever!
I have to admit that this is still very far from decent and I still have much more to learn in the animation world, but I enjoyed making it nonetheless!
The only problem now is that my laptop couldn’t keep up with the render time and it lags like mad when the lights or the particles set in, that’s why I couldn’t utilize too many lights, props, or particles like in my posters or I risk crashing SFM and lose my progress. This made animating a pain in the ass since I used my laptop for daily use, so I couldn’t just leave it at home to render the whole animation. So for now, I’ll just hone my skills by making short animations and keep making posters as usual.
Tell me what you guys think! All critiques and suggestions are welcome!

heh ‘s understandable. I personally have found preferring the use of the frame by frame style of animating over the motion editor, but I’m feeling that to really get a good overall piece of work one would need to combine the use of both.
How that’d be done however is a little above my skill level atm.
Frame by frame, still couldn’t figure out how to use the motion editor lol
