Hey, so I just made an idle animation as a commission for somebody, halfway the rig does a little inspect on the pickaxe, tell me what y’all think.
Grinding Pickaxe Idle Animation
Game With Animation
Edit: I just noticed I put the old version of the animation, it was not yet polished, heres the new version with a game with the animation playing so you can check it out for yourself!
Edit #2: I noticed that I put the same link to the grinding idle pickaxe animation streamable, I’ll replace it again with the actual one now.

It looks great! But I can see it shaking, if you fix that 10/10.

You mean the right arm? If so it was intended because I imagined the right arm would recoil back a bit when it’s grinding the pickaxe
OHHHHH, I thought when you said “idle” you meant he wasn’t doing anything. but I see now. 10/10
( i thought you meant he pickaxe was resting on the grinder)

Yeah in my words an idle is just a repeated animation of a character fidgets time to time, in the middle of the animation the rig inspects the pickaxe and goes back to grinding too but no worries

Impressive! Super fluid and lots of attention to detail, would expect to see this on a front page game 
The irony here is I’ve never gotten commissioned by a dev that has worked on a front page game before

That looks amazing, wow. The movements look really natural and have got a really nice flow. The only thing I can think of, is maybe making the “recoil” a little bit more intense. That can either make it or break it, but what you’ve got going on is perfect already.

Yeah I see what you mean, not the best at producing recoil but it sort of works as of now, it just feels like theres just not enough recoil
