Does anyone have any good weapon animation tips?

[bisslad]

I am looking for a few tips or directions to a tutorial or two on animating a weapon.

 

I have read one from planetelderscrolls which was not all that useful.

 

I have some experience in blender in modelling and animating and i have been a casual modder for years now.

 

Basically i want to put together a mod with an animated "effect" kind of like a particle effect (could i use particles?) to create a sort of "weeping" blade.

 

The idea being that you have a blade at the ready and it has an animation loop which causes a large droplet of fluid (lets say vile eldritch poison or some such!) to kind of "erupt" out of the blade and drip off the end to fall on the floor and disintegrate.

 

I hope that sounds clear!

 

Anyway, whatever help anyone can give or point me toward would be a good start.

 

Cheers!
