How do i animate without bones?

Bones are way too hard to operate with. Is there any alternative thats easy and doesn’t use bones

bones ARE the easy way…

not sure if theres even an alternative? depends on what you need.

Pose Bones are the main way of manipulating rigs. One generic way of making bone movement easier is by using a form of inverse kinematics.

The few, situational alternatives to bones are so much more complicated and messy that they tend to only be used if there’s a specific technical reason as to why bones are out of the equation.
