ZOMG CUSTOM FO3 VIEW MODELS EPIC

[Lucidius]

So,

I'm going out today and got work for the next few days in a row.

I'de be helpful if by the time I go to take a crack at view models i'de have a decent amount of animation suggestions.

Short Explanation on what you need to know before you open your mouth;

Every game has seperate skeletons for their arm models. The skeletons are also what's used to animate it. Thusly you can't throw CSS arms onto a HL2 Crowbar skeleton and have it work jut handy dandy.

THat being said, LE hasn't given me a definate answer on:

1) What arms the VM's should have (if any in some cases)
2) Related to 1, what anims to use for what.

Example: Crowbar anims might work for like 3 melee weapons in FO3, but it isn't gonna work for things like the Fisto. We're gonna need a source with a cache of custom anims for a universal arm type.

I don't do source modding, Gmod included so I don't know what there is out there.

Anyways, just try to keep suggestions to one arm type.

Edit: Just got back, this is looking like it's going to help alot.

Because your one being who knows all right? Besides, it's nothing a few suggestions wouldn't help

[Lucidius]

*bump*

Because the more suggestions, the faster it'll get done.

The inverse can be applied, no suggestions, minimal work.

Suggestions on animation?
Isn't it easier to imagine them than describing the whole movement?

I'm not animating, I need shit with animations already. :B

Example: If no one suggests anything I can only assume that everyone wants, say, CSS arms, then CSS Knife anims for the Fist weapons, chainsaws, pool stick, etc.

That would suck, and look terrible.

There ARE already anims for fists so you could use that for the fisto. For the pool stick, pipe, ect. there are aren't exactly many alternatives other than the knife or crowbar anim.

for HL2 anims, if there's anything decent on gmod or any anim ports of say zeno clash or Dark Messiah then that'de be decent.

Maybe some spear animations ?
Maybe we could have spears in FORP... And it would help Crussaria too.

Maybe some spear animations ?

From what?

[deluxulous]

You could use to good old HL2RP Fists animation for the Fisto.

There is the spear anim from PVKII

Pirate Versus Knight or w/e? What are the arm models like.

That's also  the stunstick animation. There's also various custom view models with custom animations. However, this isn't rocket science, whatever you, Lucidius feel fits that type of weapon should be used. What set you use would be varied to what kind of weapon it is.

I didn't have Dark Messiah, but maybe there were some of spear anims. Or models.
