Oh boy.

Why do poeple say something is good.. when it's not?
The run movement is NOT good. Models nice, movement, bad.

It's not a smooth cycle. The last frame and the 1st frame should transition seemlessly/smoothly. The biggest problem is that your units are moving forward inthe frame. Don't. The ground is essentially what moves under the units. Do not show any forward movement within the frame, just have the wheels and legs move.

THAT is constructive criticism. If everyone is too polite... then there is no improvement.

After this suggestions (and those of Gary) I have modified the run animation:

What do you think?

 

[Steph]

It would be easier to tell with only the run animation, so we can see what they are doing in a loop

Here only the run anim:

 

[Steph]

Then it clearly needs improvment as it doesn't loop

The cannon bumping is a nice touch. On the other hand, there is a noticeable hesitation in the soldier's walk at about the same time.

New preview of Napoleonic French foot artillery and Napoleonic British Horse Artillery.

 

[Steph]

They look pretty good, but if they are on scale, I think you made the British a little too big.

No, only the French unit is in scale.The British in big only in preview to see better the unit.

The french artillery in not complete, I want add a backpack to the infantry and not in the horse unit.

A little animated preview of Chinese Artillery requested by Shirokobbure:

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

The Chinese artillery looks great! Shiro will be delighted with that, for sure.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

the movement looks a bit rough. The figures looks great, the armor should fit for the Ming or Early Qing.

 

[Underpaid]

Yes! Chinese cannons are always great !

 

[Sandris]

Very nice cannon !

 

[imperator1961]

Actually I'm working on Italian units and some Nap artillery units but in the meantime I have made this unit, a German Ligth Artillery battery 16th C (the light cannons are interely maded by me):

 

[Steph]

Interesting concept

A better preview of the same unit:

 

[Ozymandias]

Wild I can't wait to see how you animate it!

Best,

[General 666]

Hey COOL ! The german artillery looks very promising.
Seems to become my new Nr.1 for my epic mod.
... just can`t wait ...

Bye

The most difficult are the Run and the Death animations. But I have just maded the Attack and the Run anims and in the next few days I will post here a preview.
