This video is a tutorial on how to set up a Source engine model for animation, the process of animating, and how to export your animation to be compilable into a model. This video also serves as a basic guide on how I animate stuff myself.

Don't take this video as a definitive way of making IK rigs because the way I do it in the video is very ghetto but it's there for the purpose of showing how to make a really basic one in a short amount of time.

I may make a future video that goes into more detail on making a better IK rig and how to do more complex constraints such as holding weapons.

This video expects you to have already installed Blender Source Tools and Crowbar properly. Find out how to download those at:
