Autodesk 3ds Max 2012

Punch - YouTube

How is it?

[FluX]

Looks really good. Nice and smooth and the model is pretty good too. Would be nice to see this with textures though I admit. Well done though, keep it up

[The_Sorrow]

not bad for a first Anim mate , if you want to continue Animating I can teach you everything I know and give you links to people who can help, just gotta ask Me the questions on Steam, same with anyone else who may want to know

[The_Sorrow]

might have to make a new youtube acc for this stuff, I can make tuts for rigging weapons with float limits, good controllers and stuff, may be usefull

[Lunatic[BoM]]

Please, please, please do this. I would like to see your tuts on youtube, I really liked your animations. If you do, PM or email me.

Thanks

[EricFong]

Thanks, and currently I am still working on M4A1 animation for training.

But I also learning coloring with photoshop too.

Not bad but in my eyes the gun looks so flymsy

My hints would be to make the magazine slot out a little smoother and not just flipped out on the side with ease and also the endings. Make them a little more realistic if possible for example the first reload, it was quite quick and then all of a sudden it's really slow to just hold the gun.

Hey, please look at this video and see how the guy reload it.

That second M4 reload is pretty sick.

Thanks man, wonder if you could borrow one of your model to me so I can animate them for fun.

[Z3RO]

Here, draw and swing 1

Knife animation - YouTube

With get more to work soon.

[FluX]

That's quite cool and funny. I like how you made the touching of the knife. For some reason it just reminds me of someone licking it to take the mick...don't ask why it just does. Nicely done.

lol What does it even mean?

[FluX]

When do you normally see someone do that sort of thing on their knife when facing someone? To me I always think they are trying to take the mick out of the enemy to sort of say "bring it on!". Nothing offencive honestly but something I just think when I see it which made me lol

[ro_sauce]

on the m4 reloads, empty mags dont just drop out of the gun like that.

full ones, maybe sometimes if you jiggle the gun, but thats just reckless.

so have him grip the mag, finger the release, and pull the mag out.

on that knight's armament video, that is fairly unrealistic to do during combat, plus they have modified the mag well to allow that to happen easily.

also, the dust cover doesnt automatically close like that. it is spring loaded to open if the user closes it in conditions requiring it to be closed.

Wrong, mag does drop out like that when you press the mag release button and flip the gun so fast to the right. :P

It is what I want to made and it is my first animation. Plus, it IS an animation. No shooting some gun in real life.

Some really brave soldier? I dunno, but I can do that in real life.

[The_Sorrow]

actually RO_Sauce is right, and he knows his stuff considering he works with guns... atleast I think he still does.

Just remember, I not the very good animator as I AM still new. And I know ABOUT guns too.

Just don't toss these weight on me, or I will stop what I am doing.

Check the latest animation of that knife instead of M4.
