@Gurgleschlortz lolwhat? that not in-game that's a thing called an ANIMATION. If you don't understand whats going on you have no right to give a negative comment.
For a long time, I have fantasized about the possibility of someone making a HL2 mod that takes place in the perspective of a vortigaunt. Now, can you please consider this idea?
@rokema2782 yet they can heal, shoot lighting from thier hands, and telpathicly speak to you.....im pretty sure there is more to them than they look ;D
@sabrejack2 eh? explain please. While this may apply in conventional physics, I don't see anything uncanny about large pieces of mass being thrown by the vortigaunt's magical grasp of every molecule in the massive object. The idea of it seeming uncanny didn't cross my mind, does it really look unnatural to you?
@palidan99 given normal human tissue and bone, I would expect the vortigaunt's arms to be dislocated or dismembered during his swing. If the ground is soft enough to be broken into chunks by the stomp of a strider (asphalt? concrete?), then I would expect launching the pieces at that velocity would crumble them. but as you said, vortigaunt and magic.
but pretty much all of thejazzman's animations have this acceleration rate problem, in my opinion. (not that I could do better.)
@sabrejack2 Ah yes, disregarding the unkown properties of the vortigaunt, the vortigaunt's swinging I would admit seem quite unrealistic and toony, but that is simply his cartoonish style coming into play over what would be considered canon, and you'd just have to appreciate the stylistic choice instead of the realism, which is bloody superb by the way.
If VALVe won't hire you, you need to go to valve and ask for a job, seriously, if they see this they will be pleased, maybe you will be able to make commercials for valve or something
As constructive criticism its nice to see the vortigaunt so very agile but canonically the vorts seem rather slow and maybe that a simple jump might be difficult for them and the animation is a bit fast but I liked it.
@lolmansupreme LIKE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING,OOOH PLAYING IT SMOOTH EH? I BET THE ONLY ANIMATION YOU HAVE TOUCHED IN YOUR LIFE IS THE VIRTUAL COCK UR PLAYING WITH
You know I kind of like the smoothness of the animation. It has a sense of humor to it almost. I think if the hits and falls were real it would look more edgy or violent.
Once again great stuff dude! It could use a little follow-through motion on the head of the tripod, when the alien lands on him. But I'm nit-picking. Awesome doodle. :-)
