Animation

S&box uses Valve's Animgraph system for character animation, providing a powerful node-based animation state machine. The system supports skeletal animation, IK, animated ragdolls, morph targets, and animation events.

Key features:

  • Animgraph — node-based animation state machines
  • Skeletal animation and blending
  • Inverse Kinematics (IK)
  • Animated ragdolls
  • Morph targets
  • Animation events

Movie Maker

Movie Maker is a timeline-based editor for animating properties in a scene. It's ideal for in-game cutscenes, editing trailers, coordinating timed events, and creating skeletal animations — all without leaving the editor.
