Mesh with Opening Door Keyframe or advice to Achieve the same

[martialstorm]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to have a set up door/s to open on my Tardis shell to no avail. I've created animations in blender and tried exporting to nif and/or kf and although I can get the door to flicker in and out of view within nifskope it's not working the way I'd hope.

I tried searching forums and tutorials but still struggling.

Any advice and assistance would be most welcome, whether that be another mesh I could skope onto or some thoughts on how to get the opening door to work

I'm terrible with animations though in the interest of getting your question which is in my opinion a good one more attention and starting an idea. Off hand I would think using the " pick up pole " animation on any mesh as a base would create the illusion of this. The character reaches forward and back again. It would be a matter of changing the time on the animation and perhaps limiting what some of the bipeds are directed to do. Again not my area of expertize but I think that would be a good starting point as it's similar to the motion one use to open a door. Really any animation where a character extends an arm or both is a good place to start, then sort of remix it to look more proper. There's better keyframe operators here than I that can hopefully fill you in on the specifics and values needed for this.

Many thanks Sick Alice, I'll give it a go 😊
