Video Tutorial: Complete First-Person Animation Walkthrough (Battle Rifle Reload - Part 1 of 2)

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dM1iVRfwRA
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!

[TheInyasha]

where did you get the hands and can you help me put css weapons and make a reload animation with them?

[t3hlag]

@TheInyasha The hands were extracted from Halo 2. I don't really have time to help people individually anymore.

[Are431]

@t3hlag how do you extract animation from other pc games?

[halo6534]

@dragonxanimation Save the file and then export it into the game engine. If your asking how to export it into a game such as half life 2. Then i have no clue because i have no idea how to mod.

[dragonxanimation]

how do i put it in the game?

[myvette902]

Where can I get the individual files for guns and such? from MW2, Halo, Battlefield, etc.?

[Tommy92L]

I've gotta say, if you went through all this trouble just to teach people you seem like a pretty decent guy.

[zeejenkins]
