First thing you need is a 3D program that will do animations.
Then learn how to rig a model and create the motions.
Blender is free as is Art of Illusion.
I can't help you with those but study and play with them and you'll learn.
Being 14? You have lots of time.
:03:
There is no released Tool to change SH4 animations to SH3 animations.
Same with SH5 animations. No Tool released. Yet.
Now. S3D will export the animations of Secondary charaters. When you export the 3D model there is an extra tab to do so.
You'll get multiple obj files.

What are your PC details?
Model, Operating system, Memory, etc.

These are not the best specs and 8 GB RAM is a little bit less, but Blender should work in your case.

I don't use Blender, because I have and use another 3D application for SH5 and can't help you with blender.
Maybe kapuhy (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=269343) can help you, because, if I remember correctly, he uses Blender for his 3D models.

I use Blender 2.76 with a Linux OS, an Intel 2 GHz graphic shipset, and only 2 GB of RAM.

It's called study and practice
(To do or perform (something) repeatedly in order to acquire or polish a skill.)
No one is going to do animations for you. Trust me on that!
Watch youtube videos and read! That's how I learned and taught myself.

Ya'll might get lucky here soon. Working on something that could take Animations from SH5 and export the 3D meshes AND each pose from every frame in the animation and create the obj files to import to SH3 as MeshAnimations.

Well it hard when it has no Bones also that why i make separated hand/leg/head Lol

A quick example of Manipulating SH5 animations before exporting.
There is NO Animation like that in SH5! I assign objects as I wish them to appear.
Last step is to get the animations to export to multiple obj files so they can be imported to SH3.

Hard is only a relative term.
It's "Hard" to build a house if you don't know HOW to build a house.
One learns to build a house.
You say your 14 but seems you are not willing to learn...........
Good Luck with the rest of your life then.
Me? I have spent 1000's of Hours and 1000's of dollars learning what I know!
I am on the very edge of Releasing Tools that will ROCK the SH3/4 Modding Scene!
I don't do that for Stinking Badges or fame. I do it because it's a fun Hobby to me!

Well wings3d Was no bone I think so i cant make it but i still learn Even i was borrow My uncle 3d Modelling Books there a loot thing i learns than internet because mostly on the books was always give an alternate To do Like if on blender it has Bone to move the hand and other But on books there an alternate but i still not on that Spot because that was on Animations/etc. :haha:

In a couple days I'll have the SH5 to SH3 Animations conversion process done.
You will need Blender 2.79B at lest.
That is used to export multiple obj files needed by S3D for animations.
I'll release a Script and all the information needed to work the SH5 files.
:D

Ok im just learn To adding Bones on Blender and Making Animations But the Questions is Can it Export The anim? and import it on s3d?:hmmm: :yeah:

Yes! Blender CAN export each frame of an animation as numbered obj files.
Those can then be imported by S3D.
I'm just learning Blender but I've already figured that all out.

In terms of animation, is it possible to delete a depth charge barrel inside a destroyer's rack each time that a DC is thrown overboard from it?

im so dumb i dont know how to make it as Separated Frame On s3d :hmmm:
Jeff-Groves

One could modify the KeyFrame animations to do it.
But!
It would magically reload as soon as it was empty.
You could have a delay set to hold it empty for a time but DC's would probably keep falling.
:hmmm:

Reading this eagerly between overtime sessions at my job!! Thank you for your additional work on this, Jeff. I am beginning to look at blender tutorials to prepare .... before now, I have used wings3d for about 98% of my modding. It will take some time to get used to blender, but it looks like it'll be worth it. :up: Maybe I can modify Blender's controls (especially camera functions) to mimic wings3d - that way, the transition will be easier.

The only thing I've done with Blender (So far) is import the animation file from Noesis then export as multiple obj files.
I am playing more with it as time permits.
I'm thinking you want to Toggle Quad view so you have the front, left, top, Perspective windows.
