** RTS style animations

A "pick up" animation; ie, from standing, bending down and picking up an item on the ground would be nice! Oh, and a "punch" animation would be nice too.

[Canon]

Good point Fenghus! I added your suggestions to the list.

Maybe more death animations. Like death animation when (heavily) hit by behind / from left side / from right side.
One more emote : "afraid".

(yes, me too, I can make suggestions  )

[Canon]

Mathieu,

I'm agree, at least one more death animation is necessary.
But I'm not sure for the back/side options ... looks more relevant for fps style games.
I added one death animation + "afraid" emote to the list!

Staff Animations

-Staff idle
-Staff hit
-Staff run
-Staff attack1
-Staff attack2

-idle (use pickaxe) *

-----------------------------

* mining

Maybe a couple of default base cast animations(Wave arms ect)


Also cut wood would work for the mining if it is a swing down but if you are looking at a side swing (like chopping the side of the tree then we would need a down cut as well)

[wildwilder]

walk : creeping

emote : whispering

emote : threatening

throwing away

pushing away

stepping away

stabbing to death from behind

holding torch

fish fish

eating apple

eating soup

eating meat leg

arm pressures

cards play

cubes play

A couple of objects are missing for the animations there!

- cards
- cubes and shaker
- apple
- meat leg
- soup-tureen with spoon
- torch
- fish with bucket

I hope for it I could help.

Unfortunate that does not give it to any bards. :-)

[gavinbunney]

casting animations would be fantastic [ultimate would be the AFX animations too, but they are quite complex and specific]:

charge hands (i.e. spell cast prepare)
throw fireball (1hand forward)
throw multiple fireballs (2hands forward)
channel spell (2hands forward, staying up)
summon
thrust up cast animation (hands start at feet, raise up to the sky)

also a 'build building' animation

[Canon]

Thank you all!
I noticed some very interesting suggestions here!

We know have enought suggestions to make a final animation list. The list will count around 30 animations.

@jgoodman & gavinbunney
Staff and spell casting animations will take place in the next CS pack (Magic Users), compatible with the first one.

How about some general fighting animations? Like punch, kick, uppercut, etc. You know those warriors get drunk and have good ole fashion bar brawls

[Canon]

skessinger,

You can find a punch animation in the updates forum here :
