With the most of the work for the locomotion animations done, it's time to start working on animating the weapons, tools and skills...

Swimming and Climbing

Stopping animations and crouching

I re-did stopping animations because the old system wasn't really thought through turns out... Challenge lays in that it is important that there is multiple stopping animations: we don't know when the...

More locomotion animations

Almost all ground locomotion animations are complete, from walk to run cycles, turns in place, stopping, jumping, falling.

Rigging is (almost) done!

So the vast majority of figuring out how to do a proper rig in Blender is done! In case you're wondering why it took so long (2 months of every day dedicated work, in fact), well, there are n...

I've been in search for an animation program for quite a while, despite that I work in Modo and know Maya, and 3ds Max (though might be rusty...

Underground exploration and Camera
