RESOLVED: whoops...female body lacks shadow

[Airship Ballet]

It doesn't really take a whole lot of money and gear. It's possible to film somebody and underlay frames from the video in modelling software, then use it for key-frames.

 

The only thing that bugs me is zombies calmly opening doors by the handle but overall I don't think the animations are that bad at all; you're just being self-critical =P

I think all our female animations are pretty bad (I can say that since I made them). Possibly the noblewoman ones, where she's holding her hands in front of her, are okay, but I don't like the wench ones. I was trying to create a more feminine idle pose, but I don't like the way it creates a zig-zag pattern on their torso.

 

You are probably a bit too critical about it. To my eyes they look fine. Usually people see the flaws emphasised in their own work while others do not even notice them.

Well thanks, but they still bug me.

 

Is it just me, or...?

 

Apparently not. PC Gamer mentioned the similarity as well. I've replaced the image on the website to avoid further comparisons...I've never played that game so I didn't realize the model might be a version of an established character.

Jeez, they were quick on the draw.

Having studied lots of female idle type animations (Second Life), and successfully sold those I'd created to folks who wanted more natural poses, I'd have to say yours are rather good, and I would suggest time invested in replacing them would not necessarily be well spent. :-)
