Character Animations

VERY nice Karpov, you're the man. It looks almost the same as the original. Well done.

Nice work, as usually, Karpov I liked almost all of them, maybe except the last one, which looks a little bit weird, but I can't explain why. It definitely missing something, or maybe, as you said, it's just too fast. Everything else is just great. Hope to see more coming from you in December.

By the way, maybe it's time to start building a working prototype of the game in 3D? So far we only missing a few (6 or 7, to be precise) NPC armors and clothes, while everything else seems to be done already. What do you think, guys?

That's a good idea. We should stress test it and check how it looks in action. It will be easier to find out bugs.

Anyway, Karpov - great work as always So little left to be done!

Karpov - I can't believe how good those are looking now. Excellent.
Graf - Very good idea to test a prototype - though there's probably a bit more work to do that it looks like :
- Those death animations may need doing separately for each armour, so "sliced armours" might need preparing and rigging for several other models too.
- We'd also need to work on the game object / model object linking for it to be playable.
- Death animations may need remaking for female models too

There's enough stuff to test though, I think. Maybe we need to take a sort of "inventory" of what's done and to do, then set up a "1st milestone" to test these basic things?

Also, I'd like to apologise for my inactivity recently - the time off from work I was expecting never happened - I finished one project, then had another one thrown at me immediately afterwards along with some general "real life" things. I'm still about though, and still intend on being involved. My next thing to do is still to put the Fragmotion rigging tutorial together, though I haven't had time to even look at it for several weeks. I won't be this busy forever though. The free time will happen.

Hello again, I just completed the plasma animation.

Yes, maybe it is too fast.

Amazing again. ! 

As to adjust the length, you could take the soundeffect for melting people as a reference..

[Johnnybravo]

Interesting, it does not even need to be detailed to look good (I thought it would look crap without looking liquid, but apparently it does not). What do you leave on ground? It should be fairly simple to change textured body mass to some meat/blood skin if you worry about it (probably linear fade or something).

@Karpov
You did an amazing work here. The animation simply looks good some minor adjustment to its length and its perfect I think.

@Graf
Building a working prototype for 3D could be a nice move would make testing things faster.

Amazing job, Karpov! You deserve a medal! :3

Really nice stuff

[barter1113]

Had it already done? How many animations are still left to do?

[Lizard]

Nice desintegration and shot animation! 

Did you used a static or a rigged model for this animation, Karpov?

Had it already done? How many animations are still left to do?

Seconded. I'd like to start animating, but doing animations that are done is a bit pointless.

My very first animated kick in Blender. Any suggestions what to animate next?
