Animation test for sword attacks

I’ve been practicing some sword attack animations. Please tell me what you think. Any and all advise and criticisms are welcome. Also if you have any advise on setting up 2 handed weapons grip/idle animations it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

These are really nice! The last one is a bit choppy but besides that they’re all clean. Keep up the good work :grin: :+1:

Last one isn’t that smooth than the others

On the third animation, he floats while jumping. Also it looks very stiff. Maybe make the slashes look more smooth and powerful.

Thanks for the critique. I have smoothed out the animation a bit. The fourth animation is for a leap attack, so that is why the character appears to be floating a bit. I will have to script the movement of the character model for the leap itself.

I was thinking that maybe the attacks did not seem powerful enough for animations 1-3. I’ll try shortening the time between key frames on the slashes and maybe increase the torso movement to make them seem more powerful. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I increased the time between key frames to make it a little less choppy.
