1	# Animation
2
3	Game-ready motion with clean keyframes. Readable silhouettes in motion. Engine-compatible export.
4
5	## When to Use
6
7	- Character locomotion (walk, run, idle)
8	- Combat animations
9	- Mechanical/prop animation
10	- Camera animation
11	- Object animation with constraints
12
13	## Workflow
14
15	```
16	Reference → Blocking → Breakdown → Splining → Polish
17	→ Cycle Validation → NLA Strip → Export
18	```
19
20	## Locomotion Cycles
21
22	\| Cycle \| Key Poses \| Frames (30fps) \|
23	\|-------\|-----------\|----------------\|
24	\| Walk \| Contact, Down, Pass, Up × 2 \| 24–32 \|
25	\| Run \| Contact, Drive, Flight, Recovery \| 16–24 \|
26	\| Idle \| Breathe, weight shift, blink \| 60–120 loop \|
27
28	Naming: `AN_[Char]_[Action]_[Variant]`
29
30	## Animation Principles (Applied)
31
32	1. Timing — Weight through spacing
33	2. Arcs — Natural limb paths
34	3. Overlap — Secondary motion offset
35	4. Anticipation — Wind-up before action
36	5. Exaggeration — Style-dependent (see style skills)
37
38	## Mechanical Animation
39
40	- Use constraints over bone deformation
41	- Hinge: Limit Rotation constraint
42	- Pistons: Stretch-to or Copy Location
43	- Gears: Driver for synchronized rotation
44	- Doors: Empty pivot + rotation keyframes
45
46	## Graph Editor Workflow
47
48	```
49	1. Block stepped keys (Constant interpolation)
50	2. Splining: Bezier with auto handles
51	3. Ease: Weighted handles for acceleration
52	4. Cycle: Copy first/last frame; verify loop seam
53	5. Clean: Remove redundant keys
54	```
55
56	## NLA for Game Export
57
58	```
59	1. Action created and named per convention
60	2. Push down to NLA strip
61	3. Strip set to Repeat for cycles
62	4. Single strip active for export
63	5. Scale: 1.0; no NLA time remapping unless intentional
64	```
65
66	## Camera Animation
67
68	- Smooth Bezier interpolation always
69	- Avoid sudden direction changes
70	- Match focal length to subject scale
71	- Camera shake: noise modifier on location (subtle)
72
73	## MCP Integration
74
75	1. Insert keyframes via MCP if supported
76	2. Query action names and frame ranges
77	3. Validate bone/object animation data exists pre-export
78	4. Set frame range via MCP
79	5. Export animation with rig via export-pipeline
80
81	## Game-Ready Requirements
82
83	- [ ] Root motion decision documented (in-place vs root motion)
84	- [ ] Loop seam invisible (walk/idle/run)
85	- [ ] No bone scale keyframes (engine issues)
86	- [ ] Animation length matches engine state machine
87	- [ ] Facial animation on separate action layer if needed
88	- [ ] Frame rate: 30fps default (confirm project spec)
89
90	## Constraints
91
92	### MUST DO
93	- Reference video for locomotion
94	- Block in stepped mode before splining
95	- Name actions `AN_` prefix
96	- Test cycle loop before export
97	- Match animation style to art direction
98
99	### MUST NOT DO
100	- Linear interpolation on organic motion
101	- Scale keyframes on rig bones
102	- Over-animate idle (subtle is better)
103	- Export without action assigned to NLA
104	- Skip root motion documentation
105
