An idea for animations

[MatthewTaylor1981]

There are some really cool alternate animations out there, take sinkpoints or DMC for instance, but not much that looks like an imperial would be doing it.

 

DMC would be a great set of animations to run an altmer swordmage type character, and sinkpoints could apply to monks of all ages, but especially khajeet

 

What i think would be cool would be if there were animations for more "1400sesque Generifantasy" combat, like shortsword and shield or a more realistic two handed sword fighting thing, with a late middle ages europian feel. I'd be happy to do grunt work on this, if someone coudl point me in the direction of how to learn.

 

I have studied alot of late middle ages fencing in an annex course for an acting project I was in, i could contribute real-world fencing and blocking ideas.

Peace :)

For instance, one "Cinematic" kind of pose, not great for functionality, but very good for a cinematic feel for the traditional one handed backswordsman, would be a slow approach with the blade pointed at an angle towards the ground. attacks would be arcing moves, and a block would be employed by a wrist flourish that raises the blade to an upward angle.
