why 2 threads, also, your anims need more smoothness and force

Firing animations are pretty easy to work through, though if you added some FP arms in there it'd be better so you can have more intricate movements going about. If you want some helpful resources, here's some good tutorials to look through

All it's doing is moving back along the X axis...
Try watching videos of other animators. The ones M16 referenced are great examples. Try using rotations and other axes to make the recoil look more natural. |

I took a look at your animation for the promethean knight, and I decided I might take a crack at it myself to see how it would look. I based it heavily off of what Marcellis Wentz did in Halo 4 (video here: http://youtu.be/ZwJW9H8ExcQ?t=1m28s if you're interested)
So here's what I got. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNSH9oeod2Y I feel like the "jitter" I tried to do was a bit messy but its essentially the same idea you had, just with more movement. A big thing to notice is that when one part of the body moves, all adjacent parts move as well as any parts on the opposite side. Counter-Balancing is a key thing to figure out, as well as getting a feel for weight. |
