[Animation] sa80 cocking hand

[[R-MOD]Cp]

I could use some feedback here, Im starting to go blind from watching the same animation over and over again.
Its still WIP so its a bit stiff.

WeGame Video

What im not sure about is if the character really should hold the gun up when switching mags, in the video rhino posted the gun dosent move at all except for some tilting.
Another thing im not sure about is if I should lower the gun abit when he performs the forward assist slap thingy as the arm comes up in a wierd angle, problem is if I lower the gun to a more confertable level it goes outside the screen.

Nice, looks good, but from the vids that rhino posted, its more of a full palm action(no sexual pun intended) rather than a press with a finger after the working parts are forward

[Brummy]

Yup. Using the whole hand is a little bit more realistic.

[[R-MOD]Cp]

You're right, The hand should probably be abit closer. But it is in the palm, Its just that the handle isnt visible making it hard to see.

heres a shot of what it looks like in 3ds, You can see the left hand skeleton thumb against the handle.

More videos!

This time I have 2 diffrent, the first one is like the one rhino posted, as in not bringing the rifle up when switching mags, more realistic but also more boring.

the second one is a continuation on the earlier one I posted with a bit of improvement on the slapping.

The big question is now, What path should I continue on? the realistic and rather boring one or the more badass one?

I also made a strange descovery, The handle that is missing on the rifle is only missing from the one with the SUSAT scope, The one with iron sights still have one.


next up, tackling the vision impairing arm

well their both realistic..so thats good..but the first one is more tactcial..less movement and gives u better view(kinda)..but they both look cool for me...maybe have one for the iron a nd one for the SUSAT

[[R-DEV]Dr Rank]

Definately the first one. Its way better. Much more realistic and therefor more immersive.

1st one ppleease, its more realistic, and tbh i would rather more realistic than if you can fling your rifle in the air and reload it at the same time.(although that would be EXTREMELY cool)

[[R-DEV]Rhino]

keep up the good work cp, really coming along well this!

I like both of them, so I'll let UKF give you some feedback on it. One thing I would say is maybe tilt the rifle down while also tilting it to the left and maybe slow it down a little and give it some more overall polish to make it look more natural

keep it up!

[[R-MOD]Cp]

Thanks for the feedback.

im going with the first one then, Less work for me

I was planning on tilting the rifle forward abit to get rid of the arm.
I cant slow it down without making the animation longer and a longer animation will obviously cause a longer reload time in game, This could affect the balance between the rifles, I dont know if theres a standard reload time all rifles have for balance sake or not.

so, How long can I make the animation without causing issues with gameplay?
