Video Tutorial: Complete First-Person Animation Walkthrough (Battle Rifle Reload - Part 2 of 2)

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTOv4O6ZlRo
Yeah you might want to take my advice about getting a snack. Maybe put on some music too, this is going to be a long one.

It's been almost exactly a year since I started this wild and wacky project, and I really want to finish it. I've made 3 other attempts at this video, which were rendered unusable by mic problems, video quality, crappy end products...

But at last here it is: a full walkthrough of how to make a reloading FP animation from scratch. I've done my best not to ramble too much and include helpful information whenever relevant. I'm not a professional though, so please forgive any ambiguity or incorrect statements that I make! Perhaps I'm not as attentive as I should be but I am, after all, just a hobbyist.

As promised: you can download the source files for this entire set here:

I really hope that you guys find this useful!

I have to say, the rotation of the right hand looks.... IS very painful. Tried it meself.

[t3hlag]

@xalener Ugh, nice catch. Given the choice between that at the edge of the screen or clipping nearer to the gun, I'd go with avoiding clipping.

[xXMrGamePlayerXx]

dude how did u make the hands to be attached to the gun like that?

[robertchrismedd]

@t3hlag

Yeah, then again I guess the bullpup design of the BR is the main asshole here.
