New LockGuard Animator Tutorials

[u/LillyByte]

Last night, Animator got a major update.

I've been working on newbie tutorials to cover the new features...

Here's the physics bones tutorial:

Here's the animation widgets tutorial covering simple, two pose sliders and multi-pose morph boxes:

Animation Drivers video still under work...

Animation is definitely getting easier and easier with Animator as the tools get more powerful... despite that, my goal is always to... no matter how complex the tool... make it easy enough for newbies to pickup and learn, with the most minimal UI presentation possible without compromising tool flexibility.

With animesh, physics bones, animation widgets, and animation drivers... this was the largest Animator update since release.... and nearly half a year in the making.

The next one is gonna be pretty beefy too... as procedural walk/run, true rag dolls, collisions, and physics events start to reach usability and can finally be merged in as well.

Animator is gonna end 2026 with a lot of banger updates, that's for sure.
