Hey, so I’m doing a story where I need characters playing instruments like electric guitars and drums. I understand how to use overlays and have the ones I think I need. I just don’t know how to make them look like they’re playing them, since there aren’t official animations for it. How would you do it? Also, how do I deal with an overlay moving and issues with layering, like the body of a guitar being in front of a character, but their hand in front of the guitar?
Should I just use the bass guitar for the electric guitars as well? Or do you think that’s super noticeable?
I could imagine that for example the animation brush_horse_loop_rear and dj_headbob_loop might work for a keyboard (is there one as well?) and that the dustoff_neutral_loop and dance_club_happy_loop could maybe work for the drums… as you need a special guitar (electric guitar/bass you could try animating an arm overlay (but maybe there is even an electric guitar prop and then you could just use the guitar animations )
in thst case you will need to use the air guitar animation and put infront of him an overlay - unfortunatelly there is no way how to make one of the hand be above the overlay if there isnt a prop - unless you will zoom and use limb overlay.
