Running animations (2 hands 1 hand)

[jalex3]

Ok so i was just rewatching some hos gameplay and thought, russians run with the gun in both hands so if for example a russian picks up a mp40 what will the 3rd person animation look like?

I hope they use both hand because otherwise they are likely to get TK'd since other russians will think its a german.

maybe you can shoot two, each in one hand.

Next question follows how well can they manage their arms with bandaged hands.

Btw, reserving a new player name: OneBloodyStump

I say if the animated code for the Russians is 2 hands then no matter what weapon they've got (baring pistols of coarse) it will be 2 handed.

Yes I'm sure they could model it.

It will be well done anyway..
Do not care for such things

I'm pretty sure that the running animation is based on the character model (Russian/German), rather than the weapon.

Lol it wouldn't' make any sense if a Russian picked up a German weapon and suddenly started carrying it differently just because it's a German weapon.

I think it's easy to assume that soldiers are animated to carry weapons the same way, regardless of whether they are German or Russian.

Well if its done like in RO:Ost, they have animated skeleton and charachters are attached to that skeleton..so
animations are not like charachter based.

Pretty much what Susi said. There's a single set of animations and they're all linked to one character skeleton, not the weapons. To work out which sprint animation to use, it will very likely do a quick check on weapon pickup to see which team a player is and set the appropriate sprint animation accordingly.
