nice clipping. not much you can do about that.

This looks beautiful! I like it!
This animation is much better than what PGI did.
I want to see your animation in the game.

Yeah I thought that I saw the uziel doing the same kind of janky walk in it's preview too. Bobbing hard to one side, looking kinda wierd.

it would appear that the lack of suitable animations stem from PGI's work to not have any clipping.

this would be why the MKII has such a stiff and tall animation so the legs don't clip through the arms.

So many of the "so ugly I want a refund" threads nowadays with the civil war Mechs.

Are you guys too embarrassed to be caught piloting a moped - I mean a fat ch- I mean, an Ugly Mech?

You should just focus on the fun, not the looks :-)

If people focused on the fun, not the looks people would never buy more than half a dozen mechs.

As it happens P.G.I got away with me buying them, busy day yesterday and today, means I didn't get time to cancel. still the free colours kind of make up for terrible builds.

I'd agree if the Uziel's I need a piss bad stance didn't clip one side at the bottom..of the left leg ( note the right has clearance, just)

[Juodas Varnas]

It's really weird how the cockpit items have really nice animations, but the mechs themselves are awful.

Why not use the same animations for both?

[r4plez]

wow looks like horse s#it, and i payed for that.... :/

[CK16]

Guys, we might not be satisfied by the animation but no use just saying it looks like *insert various ways to call it subpar*. Give feed constructive feedback.

For me needs more stride and weight in its steps. See MW4 and JJM's animation.

nothing dynamic animations, thats a Animation like the first days of PC games..no weight , Nothing Interaction with each Part of the Character, not torsomovement , not Interaction in each way with the Ground ...not really Working from each part of teh Legs ...thats more terrible as all what im seeing in the Beginner Workshop of Poser Character Animation ...Thats like the terrible MWLL animations...the Torso fly over the Map and the legs only poor animated parts with nothing interaction with each part of Character or Ground..a twoleggend walk is a very hard Balancing Act , with movement from each part of Torso, Arms, Legs, Hip to Hold Balance by each Step (seeing in MW4)..the Torsomovement Follow the Legs , not the Legmovement follow the Torso

Could you do one of it running? You can refer to my Mad Dog sig from MC1.

Amazing!
PGI, we need this, please look into hiring this guy to help with animations!
This animation screams predator to me, this is the terror lurking in IS nightmares waiting to kill them with it's dual gauss. THIS is what a bad-*** Battle'Mech looks like when it's stalking it's prey.

My turn.

Looking at your excellent work; am I correct in assuming that should the mech be animated to run it would HAVE to have a big hop in it's stride ? There doesn't seem to be room for further movement past 90 degrees at the ankle without the lower leg crushing the foot.

The leg would have to extend dramatically ( since it can't go far back and a 90 ton war maching won't be pushing with its toes) while the chassis basically falls forward only to be caught by the opposing leg and repeating the process.

[Commander A9]

I'd take the fan-made animation over the PGI animation.

Not getting the Mad Cat Mk. II until it's fixed.

Its all about the hips! Especially the heavy and assault mechs have to move their hips like an tavern wench!

This does look cool but how cool (or ugly) it would be if the weapons are gyroscopically stabilized?

Not only is the animation spot on, but the placement of that single ballistic is fixed and the huge gaping hole in the shroud where nothing goes is plugged.

Bravo!

[LordBraxton]

I really wish I knew who made the original 8 mechs and all their animations and textures. Mechs have never looked as good as during closed beta. Clearly these employees are either gone or disgruntled.

So much sadness for what was lost.
