You do not need to learn both applications. Complete one route, then continue to shared content-pack configuration.

Which route should I choose?

Choose one route, then continue to shared configuration. Schematic; open the image for full size.

• Detailed weapons and bending fingers/arms: Blender skinning.
• Already using Blender and only need whole-part movement: Blender Empty.

Rigid animation moves, rotates, or scales an entire mesh without weight-based deformation. Empty animation does not replace skinned arms or guarantee better FPS.

New workflow requirements

Before using no-Skin Empty animation, check that the installed release supports rigid GLB animation.

Learning order

For arm creation, see the arm authoring templates and downloads.

4. Download the Empty Template.
5. Follow Build Your First Firearm for shared behavior, events, materials, and testing.
