Heh yeah, looks like he's doing some taekwondo. But so what if it comes fast, long animations suck unless they can be cancelled. And if they can be cancelled, nobody's gonna watch them finish anyway. For example the looting animation is tiresome when hauling large ammounts of stuff or picking it up from ground.

That was insightful.
Animations should be quicker, except idle ones. Yet, it's not a problem to make it slower - who would use a beer in combat?
Jet? Cigarettes? Stimpacks? Perhaps.

how about when we loot a body we stay in some sort of crouch pozition and ever take/put action will be a small hand movement like in FoT
for standing loots like bookshelves we put a foot in front of it and a hand on it

Hmm... indeed, good idea.
Something like while the looting window is open, the player is crouching and "looting" (indicated by "tickling" the body). And when the window is closed, the player stands up.

[Lizard]

Tickling you say...? How about this?




That are two separate animations, but TinyGif connected them somehow. I'm surprised.

[LagMaster]

looks good, me gusta

[Lizard]

I'm glad you like it.
Here, could you take a critical look at this here? I'm aware that Karpov made a female walk animation, but this here is my own - i'm just developing the workflow.



I was also thinking of making a left/right leg limping animation today - for critical hit victims.

Don't forget to get one for 2h weapons as well, and probably then for melee weapons etc... Not sure if you can just mix two animations together like in most games though - that would save you some work.

[Lizard]

For a weapon in each hand, it would be quite easy - i just need to replace the weapon i connect to the animation. For two-handed weapons and melee weapons like sledgehammer a new animation could be made, using the weapon as a crutch. I'm not sure about the BigGuns, though and i'm open to suggestions in that matter.

Parts of the animations could be left as they are, just the new elements should be tweaked accordingly.

Btw, do you know how a animation can be mirrored?

[Haraldx]

Wow, you did a great job with the looting animation, it looks exactly how I imagined it! 

[LagMaster]

for the 2 handed weapons just hold them in 1 hand and the tip of the barrel to stand on the earth near the right model leg

[Lizard]

Heh, i'll try that tomorrow for sure. This animation can be recycled pretty much, LagMaster. Also, will add "nursing pained arm", too.


Jo, Haraldx, glad that you liked it. I appreciate it a lot!

Have you managed to / tried testing any of these in-game yet, Lizard?

Now that you mention it, no.
I haven't found a link to a working SDK and there were some issues at converting the blend in .X. I'd appreciate it greatly if you could test a animation for me, for example, the Vic. (i'm done with some animations for him tomorrow)
