Nice one, but when you shot a weapon not your Arm moves down but the weapon moves up.

The shots seem to be quite slow or are they only for visual purpose (I'd advice so, since it is the best way to split shots into no-time-effect and timed animation)

Well with the weapons I wanted to give a feel of a normal person not a soldier, thats also why their is no cross hair. But I am going to add some more animation to the tommygun.

I think you missunderstood what I wanted to say.

A gun that is fired creates a force directing to the oppsosing direction where the bullet goes to (with the same energy that the bullet got).

The weapon wants to go backwards, but there is the hand which creates a force to avoid this. But since the mass-point of gun and hand is not behind the barrel, but below, somewhere inbetween hand-force and shot-force, both opposion forces create an angular momentum that rotates the weapon.
As your upper arm is not stretchable the gun in your arm has to rotate around your ellbow, and that's the point which is wrong in your animation.

You rotate around the weapon and thus stretch the upper arm downwards, but you have to rotate around the ellbow.


Look at my western shooter video to get what I mean.

i see what vietnam is trying to explain to you. ive watched your video several times and noticed some mistakes:
When the pistol is shot the rear end of the arm falls down and the gun goes up. As a constant shooter in real life ide have to say you need recoil, when the pistol is shot make the arm bend slightly and have the gun go up (barrell first).
secondly: when the bullet hits the zombie it creates a dust looking effect, i know this is only just been created and am not trying to say that this dust effect was made on purpose.
overall i like it mate. I like the black n white effect, i like how the zombies appear in the fog and overall i like the storyline so far (olden style fps).

I am currently creating a zombie game called horde (copyright haha jk) and am willing to help in anyway possible.

p.s oh i didnt know you created the old western video lol i enjoyed watching that a while back when i first started out lol. And sorry for such a long post...

dawn is near sounds like a 40s zombie movie, like "dawn of the dead". btw chaotic_dragon, we'll get back to you on your email

I never much messed with the A6 templates, but I would try to stagger the percentage of the amimation that they start on. That way they would all raise their arm at the same time. It would look less like a hilter convention then lol.

lol hie hitler hahaha [censored] i hate that bitch....yeah it does sound like dawn of the dead ay lol i love that movie its got some good [censored] in it, yeah i got your email just sent one back..

regards (read my signiture im sick of typing it lol)
