Right-Handed Hunting Rifle, Sort of Animated and Meshed

[shwowsh]

So here's a hipfire bolt charge animation for the hunting rifle, with the bolt on the right side: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4NT1jFMg8Hua1l6RnZLTzFQTGc?usp=sharing. One file is the .hkx.

Shite quality video:

but check it out in game to see what I'm talkin' bout.

 

Since this is the fruit of my 3D animation virginity, I'm having a few issues:

 

(Of course the receiver texture map is backward, course the animation itself could use some work, course the sound needs work, the shell be ejected better ala nifskope nodes, and of course the reload, sighted, and third person animations are absent - this'll be addressed eventually)

 

-Why does the gun vibrate awkwardly in game even though, as far as I can tell, it looks fine played back in 3Ds max?

 

-Why can you interrupt and mess up the animation by clicking?

 

-How should I go about lining up the left hand from end of the firing animation to the beginning of the bolt charge (you can kinda see the left hand change positions in an ugly way)?

 

I used the Fallout 4 Animation Kit and it's guides. It's a recent breakthrough so these things might be a mystery to everyone. If you know what's up, take this over or give me some advice.

That's a pretty nice start for right-handed firearms. You should maybe contact the author of the SCAR-H mod that's on the nexus. He's an experienced animator.

awesome

 

are you able to open up the old anim to check the keyframe data? I was under the impression you can add stuff to keyframes to prevent or trigger certain things like sound effects

And MBile you definitely can do that, the above problems were just me doing it the wrong way.
