being "fluid"
is being fluid having relaxed motion or is it something else?
also can i get some tips to help me with being fluid?
Being fluid means being not too stiff while moving your tori,
and not being too relaxed.

If you want to be fluid, you should use
'Hold all' and "Relax all" at the right times.

For example, sparrers[if you know what they are] need to be fluid so they could
make their moves more realistic.



If i made a mistake, than please correct me.
Maylene has pretty much got it covered.

Being 'fluid' in replays is making sure the whole replay connects together smoothly and realistically.

Using relax all isn't the best option, as that will cause your tori to be limp and unpredictable, making the replay look as if your drunk.
Hold all should definitely not be used, or holding the majority of your joints, as it looks stiff and extremely unrealistic.
It's all about a happy balance. Holding unnecessary joints, relaxing ones to cause natural movement, and using everything involved to create a movement with your entire body, not just a single part.
It's more like making your tori move like it's someone from the real world.
take a look at Oblivion's replays.
that should give you an example
good or bad?
wow, oblivion's replays are crazy freaking awesome.

yeah it gives me some great examples of being fluid, so thanks

edit : i was trying to look more realistic.

The movements are pretty nice. One thing you need to focus on is keeping yourself upright, and not sprawling around on the floor, because we don't normally do that in real life :P
