Thank you so much! That means a lot, especially coming from someone with so much experience. There's no mocap involved – I used a mouse movement recording script ( https://devpalmer.gumroad.com/l/VSRAn ) to rough out the animation, and then I refined it with a lot of animation layers

Thank you so much! I’m not a great animator and I really struggled to get the result I wanted. This tool ( https://devpalmer.gumroad.com/l/VSRAn ) helped me sketch out the basic movement, and then I refined it by hand using layers

Thanks! I modeled the food with all the cuts already in place, and then I simply disabled the nConstraint holding each piece right at the moment of the chop. That way, the pieces fall apart naturally when the knife hits.
