Disturbingly double-pointed sword

Post by Insert Name Here »

Apparently, we're in need of swords, so here's an idea for one.
It looks basically like this:
Image
Double pointed, kinda long and dreadfully hard to carry. :oops: But then so are 50 roasted maggots.
The animation is based on the current swipe animation in the new playerset animations thread:
Image
And the animation itself would look like this:

How can I improve it?

It looks like all those nut and bolt monsters are going to be sorry. :D


Just kidding. But anyways, the shading looks a bit odd. Remember the light source in TMW comes from the Southwest at about this angle \.

I think he's trying to flail it back, hence the smaller image.

I always assumed he was holding the sword backwards in that image, yeah, as in the 'lightsaber' example it was shorter.
And yes, it does look a bit like he's hitting someone with a wrench :?

Edit: Let's remedy that and change the shading.

Could we just please go with the overhead swing animation presented previously?

The attack sector of the weapon in question is going to be clear to the player after playing a while.

Nope, not that one. There was an example posted by Saphy at some point.

So it's not confirmed which animation we're using?

So why post your preferences here, rather than in the playerset animations thread?

Yes.

I was trying to stop this and gear you towards helping actually finish and lock down the playerset. Badly executed by me, carry on.

Well, I have no experience in animating anything like as complicated as the playerset so... :oops: :lol:

I've been working on a monster concept called the roller-grub. Kinda like a long, rolled up maggot.
Here's what I have so far:
