collapse
attack
I'm working on a game engine viewer for nicer videos, which I will upload to my website. The character should be available by the end of the week.
Thanks !

The animations look pretty good. The dance is funny ... maybe a little too pop. In the attack motion, shouldn't the shield arm be raised somewhat after the slash motion to provide protection to the lead shoulder from a counter strike?

what about adding some more attacks? that'd be really great since i think one attack is not enough

Here is the mentioned video, captured out of the engine.
Black Knightess
I will add one or two attack animations before release.
Thanks !

kicks woould be cool, too. knee and feet for both sides. as well as two or three sword attacks. possibly a roundhouse sword attack

so that the beauty will show she knows how to handle a sword. for me a bunch of attacks is a must befor i buy it, because i cant add animations by myself

Looks good. Are the animation newer than the video? Because in the video, on one of the collapses, the sword goes through her head.

[EDIT: Just saw that it is in the animation video above also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s847s3nVuEc]

I noticed the sword in the collapse animation. I just didn't want to do another mix down of the animations since I'm still creating animations for her. But it's already fixed.
I will update the video with the final animation sets on Sunday.
Thanks for all the feedback !

Video
Slight delay on the updates. Here is the updated video as promised. Weapons/shield should be hidden through code inside
the engine in certain animations.

Looks really promising. I like it.

But the battle axe does not fit in my opinion. Even Conan the Barbarian would not be able to fight this weapon one-handed ;-)

Thanks. I'm just giving the user another option besides the sword. It's up to him to use it or not. Like I said earlier in this thread, I'm not aiming for realism. Just think of Cloud and his giant buster sword (Final Fantasy 7)
