Engie was simply amazing. Also I would like to know the music name.

How long has it taken you to learn 3D MAX?

The shotgun could use a bit more recoil, but other than that this is good. Also, it might be slightly beneficial to have the engie sliding in cover with a ranged weapon, as a heavy will stop him before that wrench gets close.

If you clicked to see the Engie, it's at 0:15. Just saying

Studying animation at SCAD in Savannah, Ga. Good animations, but they can be pushed much farther! Your spines stay very straight the entire time, which never, ever happens in real life. For example, look at the Engie running. Look how parallel his shoulders and hips stay to the ground. Look in a mirror or get a friend to try to run with their hips and shoulders ramrod straight. Make sure you actually do it to get the feel of what you've animated, then give it another try. It will be even better.

nice animations! good job

I'll just point out that both of these animations remind me of two scenes from Hot Fuzz. And they're amazing.
