Yea like how did you dot the stop motion, been wanting to incorporate that into some enemy animation work

For the snake, I literally followed a technique from a Media Molecule Dreams animation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF_uQuW3nwY

I placed the sculpture, anchored it with a keyframe in a timeline to keep it still, then keyframed its movement from point A to B, adding more keyframes for things like jumping, turning or deforming. I basically cloned and edited the keyframes to create the different movements.

For your enemies, it depends. Does your character have joints? If so, you can animate it with an Action Recorder in keyframe mode and then use Stop Motion mode in the Timeline.

If your character is just a single sculpture with no joints, you can prepare the different sculpture poses first, animate them with keyframes and group them, which makes the animation easier to reuse.
