I’ve finally submitted my weapons pack as first step for submission. So now it’s up to the powers that be to see if it gets confirmed or not.
So it will include everything I’ve shown here over the last few weeks.
As far as the bow and crossbow goes, I’ve ultimately decided to keep it simple. My concerns with those weapons were basically how you want to use them and if you use them the character is very much involved. It’s not a “loose” weapon like a sword. So they’re in there, they have some basic animation you can make use of, but really, you’ll need to integrate it and possibly animate it according to your needs. I actually would like to see how people end up making use of this and if there’s more I can do from my side to make it even easier. When I make my own stuff, I just do whatever I want and I make it work. But making something for possibly a bunch of various people with various needs, that’s another story. My theory is always to keep it simple. So I’m hoping it works out and if not, I’ll learn from it.
I’ve mentioned in an earlier post that if anyone require the rigged file, I can supply that, but honestly, I did not even rig these. The animation poses are very simple and to rig them and then animate them is a waste of time. The rigging will take much longer than simply posing them. So pretty much what you see is what you get on those. It’s exactly how I animated them. There’s really nothing special to it.
So, anyway, if anyone has any other questions about the pack, please feel free to post them here. I think I’ve shared enough here to give a really good idea of what to expect, but again, please feel free to post any questions you might have.
