How to Use Eclipse Animator: Getting Started

1. Verify the listing

• Start at a Creator Store entry (creator materials reference @riftkuro). Match the numeric asset ID — slug text including old PREORDER wording is secondary.
• Use the Plugin Link Checker on this site to compare host and asset-ID shape before installing.

2. Install and restart

• Install from the verified listing, then fully restart Roblox Studio.
• Confirm the plugin appears under Plugins. If not, follow plugin-not-showing troubleshooting before continuing.
• This site does not host plugin binaries.

3. Bind a simple rig

• Insert a known-good R15 or documented compatible rig.
• Select the rig, then activate the plugin so it binds to the selection.
• If binding fails: deselect → reselect → reactivate — stale selection is the usual culprit.

4. First keyframes

• Create or open a project in the editor.
• Insert a few keyframes on major joints (creator tutorial lists V to insert, X to delete).
• Keep the first clip short. Use the FPS & Duration Calculator when timing notes are in seconds.

5. Save, then export (separate steps)

• Save the project for persistence.
• Export is a separate operation — saving does not publish a Roblox animation asset.
• Prefer a minimal control export before hero shots (see exporting guide).

6. Pick the next topic

• Controls & keybinds search once a tiny clip works.
• Loop seam checklist for cycles.
• Companions guide only if you need Blender or video-preview workflows.
• Change one unfamiliar setting family at a time (camera, IK, or layers).

Limitations of this guide

• We do not claim partnership with Eclipse Animator authors.
• Keybind tables are source-reviewed and version-sensitive.
• If a community post conflicts with official docs, prefer official docs and mark community advice as unverified.

• Roblox Creator Store / Creator Hub — Use verified plugin listings and current Studio docs.
