Description
Last Updated: 4/19/17See below for additions
Please try to read everything below before downloading and using.
If you wanted to see some of my animations a bit more up close, here is your chance. This pack contains the per-pony DMX for nearly every video I have made to date: well over 100 files across 31 works. These are NOT SFM save files. Each pony was exported separately and the files indicate for which actor they originated. To download, click the "Download" button on the right bar.
Now there is going to be confusion on which exact model was used or how they were set up, but I am stating right here I will NOT be answering questions about specifics regarding use. I am expecting a lot and would take way too long to answer and research back a few years to find out that information. There is video-specific ReadMe files included to help with some confusion, as well as a link to the video to reference how it may be used.
Why?
The main purpose for this pack is two-fold. 1) So those looking to improve at animating can play around and see how someone else makes theirs; and 2) for those looking for assistance to have something to take portions from for their own use. Basically, I want it to be a learning tool. While I do not feel myself to be all that great an animator, I know that some hands-on material to play with could really help those starting out.
I know this does open me up for potentially having content being "stolen", but I really don't care. I got my use out of these files. Instead of lingering and protecting what I have done, I want to focus on what I can still do.
How do I use the DMXs?
Watch this tutorial! Again, these are NOT save file DMXs. These are animation files you import to a specific model.
Can I use a part for my own animation?
Yup! Use any parts you want. Have fun with it. I steal portions from my past animations all the time. Now you can too.
While it would be awesome if you gave credit if you did use a portion, I am in no way requiring it. Included in the file is a release that basically states you can use anything in there without my permission.Why did a portion of their body just extend into the wall?
I probably had something locked when exporting and didn't notice. Let me know which file it was that caused the issue and I can work to fix and update. It is the reason there is a version number in the file name. I am expecting some problems.
Can you share the save file DMX?
No. That will never happen lol. Not because I want to protect them, but because there is so much modified and specific to my SFM setup that loading it anywhere else is guaranteed to not work right.

My only question is how do we install them into SFM? Then again, I may be asking a foolish question.
EDIT: I watched the video. Man am I stupid. XD Though thanks for the animations sequences, Argo.

Heya Argo
First off, THANK YOU for this incredible resource!
Second, what would be your troubleshooting steps if you see the error "Document was not opened because there was an error reading the file"?
I've tried downloading the files from two separate sources. And tried reinstalling SFM.

It depends on what the file is you are trying to open. I have not had the error myself before.

I've tried opening about 7 or 8 different DMX files in your pack. Could you tell me if these steps sound like they should work?
1. I put your pack into the 'sessions' folder.
2. I open SFM, go to File, then Open.
3. [concrete example] I navigate to the 'Remembrance' folder, select 'argo_remembrance_twilight_v1.dmx', and press 'Open'.
4. "Document was not opened because there was an error reading the file."
I'm a noob to SFM, so I'm accepting that I could be messing up such a simple thing.

The DMX files are not save-file DMX files. There is a link in the description to a video on how to import model-specific animation DMX files.

Holy cow!!!
How am I just hearing/seeing this?!!
Boy is this ironic. I just started getting into animation, too. What perfect timing, Argo!
Thank you so much for this release, man. This will help me immensely, like all your other stuff.

Thanks Argo!
A lot of the things I've been able to learn from you have been a great help of the past year

This is gonna help me BIG TIME.
I tend to put a lot of upper body movement into my animations, and sometimes, a little too much....
I wonder if this can help!

You bring a tear to my eye man. Reading all the above and the comments I can see why so many of the guys in the Doors 1 video left the comment thanking you for inspiring them.

Argo, seeing you stream and the way you speak, just fills me with a beaming pride. You're patient and you explain, you speak as a peer, not simply as a teacher. (Though you do that well as well) Thank you so much mah man for being as awesome as you are!

"...I do not feel myself to be all that great an animator..."
For serious dude? You make some of the most amazing and detailed SFM animations out there! You have a knack for incorporating lifelike body language into your SFM projects that really makes your videos stand out in the crowd!

I'm not an good animator myself but all it takes is a lot of patience and planning for what you want it to be thinking bout what you want is the hard part and then putting it into motion. Take it slow and make it simple

hey when I load up twi dash it freezes and wont animate the rest of the animation when RD Gives twi a the first kiss
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I double-checked it and it worked fine. Be sure you are using the original VN models and not the enhanced ones. Also, be sure that, if you extended the shot after loading the model, that its life covers the whole shot. If you double-click a shot in the Clip Editor, it will show you the lifetimes for all models. Find the one for RD and insure the yellow area is dragged and covering the entire shot from left to right.

Not only will this help me in future videos, but it opens a few doors for me and future projects. Thanks, Argo. ^^

Hey Argo, I have a problem, So every time i try to load one of the dmx packs it just doesn't work. I was hoping you could tell me how to load it?
My 2nd Question is how do you get that layout on sfm?
Final question is How do u get sfm frame speed to speed up because every time i move the camera its super slow?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did you try loading them as a session? The description states they are per-pony files, not SFM save files, and provides a video on how to load them.
I am unsure what you are meaning my layout.
I am also unsure on the third question. Frame speed and camera movement speed are unrelated. In what way is the camera slow?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I even tried to load them as a session and it still doesn't work..
The camera is laggy and everytime i move the camera around it just overall slow... its like a delay to be exact..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They aren't session files, so that is expected. If the method for loading mentioned in the video does not work, I am not sure. Are you loading it on the models that start with "vn_"?

salut j'espaire que tu lira mon texte.

Wow, this is awesome. Now I can hopefully expand on my SFM skills. Thanks Argo
To think about it... It would have taken you ages to get this sorted out >.>

these are amazing!!! Thank you and god bless!
Though I would like to point somethin out. In alushy 2 (Shoot to thrill) When I load up trixie's dmx its not working. like, its a still pose of just... a weird pile of pony

You may have to slide all the animation over. When I exported, I believe it started at the end. I loaded it up to be sure and it is all there.

I Actually got it RIGHT After I commented

So these DMX's are animations that you had made in the past and have put them out as a tool for others to use.
Dam,
And here I thought those training videos of yours was useful but this is like walking into a Mcdonalds asking for a burger and end up getting free fries and a drink and they pay you! LOL
In short what I'm saying:
This is rare from a artist/animator. LOL
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Is there some specific models that is required to download before using the DMX? Example is mostly the missing texture's on props and maps
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. You can technically load just about any of them on any model, but due to some hair differences, loading it on the pony in the file net will net the best result. Also, baking jiggle prior to loading is recommended. Jiggle animation is in it too.

"While I do not feel myself to be all that great an animator"
Uh, guys, I think Argo's getting delusional.
