Is this a poster render? If so, you can just use the Default procedural preset on the cape jigglebones to make it stationary.

Bake your cloth and add procedural layer of smoothing to it.

Coming up with ideas is the difficult part of art/film. SFM isn't very technically demanding, and really shouldn't be the primary focus for practice. You should try brainstorming from a stimulus or something. I'll just put a word here to provide a stimulus:

Sleeve

There are a lot more animators for hire in the SFM subreddit, I believe.

SFM is a tool. You are the filmmaker. Just because you know how to use SFM, doesn't mean you know how films are made.

Particle scaling is a lot more complicated than a scale slider. You'll need to increase the radius, velocity and emission volume of the particle. Real-time scale changes would require a custom-tuned radius scale.

You've got a ton to learn about animating, from film techniques to general workflows. If your goal is to "become famous animator", I advise you to consider the journey and sacrifices you'll need to undertake.

The diligence and determination required is immeasurable, and it often takes years of continuous work before an animator becomes barely recognised. The amount of work that needs to be done for film and animation would often mean sacrificing the time of another hobby. I've personally given up 90% of my time on video games for animating, and it's likely still not enough. If animating for you simply isn't fun, this journey could kill your sanity.

Don't be too stressed about it though. If it helps, animating is an amazing skill to hold, and its theory can overlap into IT and many forms of art. You could add me if you want to improve on film and animation.

Have you tried not making garbage animations? You fucking fanboy twat. The best part is, i have the files you want, but i get the pleasure of not giving them to you. Go die in a fire. FNAF is complete cancer.

So you have figured out that the majority of FNAF community members isn't very good with SFM and believe that working is pretty silly. You might find some of this shit offensive even. You might even feel that you need to post about how much FNAF sucks.

I have a 10 step plan in order for you to correct this issue.

1. Go fuck yourself. This is a crucial step, and will be recommended should you decide to openly voice your concerns about FNAF. Might as well get this out of the way so when it is recommended, you can proudly claim 'I've done that already' and the discussion can continue. A broken bottle is ideal, but whatever tool you have available it fine, even if it is a portal gun.

2. Repeat step 1 to ensure completion.

3. GTFO. You don't HAVE to be here, you don't HAVE to read the repetitive questions, FNAF fandoms, and commissionees with 20 hours of experience. Big X button on the top right. Go away, we don't want you.

4. Repeat step 1 again.

5. Understand our user base. If you live in a hole, you might legitimately not understand a LARGE portion of our users. Google Gulag. I will wait..... Ok, that's long enough. There are many Russian teens in the Gulag, whom stay in the proverbial closet to prevent bad shit from happening to them. This includes something as trivial as being forced to close every SFM window in existance to something as sever as not being allowed to search for answers on Google. There have been users on here asking for help due to parents wanting to involuntarily commit them to a psyche ward for their window closing. This community hub is for them to vent.

6. Repeat step 1

7. We have every reason to hate FNAF players. While we don't necessarily hate FNAF, we do find the game silly and worth mocking. However, FNAF is responsible for many deaths in Russia, Malaysia and Peru, especially among this particular subreddit known as /r/fivenightsatfreddys, which believes SFM is a legitimate filmmaker for SFM, which sometimes ends up killing the unfortunate kid.

8. Repeat step one, one last time.

9. If you are still here and have concerns, discuss. If not, big X button is on the top right, have a nice day and don't forget to go fuck yourself.

10. Go fuck yourself.

Start project: get addicted, stop due to lack of ideas, take a week break, force the crap out of yourself to continue, get addicted, repeat.
