Doing pre-production work (scripting animation pipeline)

Hey folks, sorry I haven't been posting as much, A lot of the work I've been doing lately is just technical animation stuff and scripting in blender for a new animation pipeline (consider this pre-production work for the next update to Elder Souls). Not super sexy stuff that would interest most, but considering that quite a few of you are still supporting, I think updates to my developments are the least that I can do. I've written about a thousand lines of unique code for this new animation pipeline over the last couple of months, ...

I'm back (I never left tho)

After about 4 months of battling with technical issues and export nightmares... I finally have a working, robust method for exporting out of not just my current human rig... but ANY creature for skyrim.. Words cannot describe how absolutely elated I am to finally be done with this mess. I'm an artist first and foremost, technical animation stuff goes way over my head and I couldn't have done this without the FBX importer tool by Andrelo1 and help from our moderator Kars.I kept quiet during all these months, just working in the backgroun...

Big reveal soon!

Skyrim Guild website and MCO

Hey everyone, just letting you all know we have a new site (I say new but it's been WIP for a few months now)MCO beta (currently titled ADXP) and the latest elder souls are up there now (I plan to release a fomod soon, along with my own animation rigs for skyrim that will be freely available in the near future once finalized)I'll keep you all updated with any further developments

rapier update #2

just another quick update recapping my progress on the rapier animations, unfortunately I doubt i'll be able to have a version out before the end of the month but I'm going to try to get what I have exported out ASAP for you guys

Rapier animations progress update #1

Since my upload schedule has been sort of... erratic, and we are approaching the end of the month. I figured I'd keep people updated on the work that I'm still doing, and I plan to make this a regular thing. As you know from my previous post i'm currently working on some rapier animations for MCO/SkySA/ABR (But i'm primarily focusing on the new MCO framework as it expands my capabilities beyond what is possible in SkySA 2.8 or ABR) I'm talking closely with the creator of MCO to ensure things are working as smoothly as possib...

Update post for March

As promised, I'm working on some rapier animations for march, should be ready in the coming week or two, thank you for your patience!MCO and SkySA 2.8 versions coming sooncredits: weapon from Kettlewitch's adamantium dragon rapier and armor from skyrim

March update and plans

Hello everyone! First I want to apologize for the lack on content for january/febuary. I've been really busy with work and also having problems making mods from a technical side. I should do better and most of all communicate better and be realistic in my goals. I really thought I could release something in january/febuary if I just worked harder but that didn't pan out obviously. This month I have several things on my plate, and when I do get to mod I'll need to create more stagger animations for the POISE mod and a rapier moveset ...

progress update feb 22

hey guys quick post just to keep all my patrons not on the discord up to date, i've been working on a lot of technical stuff for animation in skyrim in the background for the past month (maybe more) so that's why there hasn't been an update for warhammers yet. I've had to learn rigging and python but i'm comfortable now and the last few bugs need to be ironed out, I need to also create an animmotion automated script before my anims can be implemented in game. At the moment the animation exporter is a little buggy but it'...

Progress

So i've got my new animation rig nearly complete (it's in an animatable state, but there's no direct export pipeline to skyrim setup yet, after that's done I can continue creating animations for skyrim and finish warhammer 2.0)the reasons i'm making a whole new rig is:1) for ease of use and to make my workflow faster2) to fix badly deforming meshes such as shoulder, pauldron, and wrist bones that we couldn't fix before3) to standardize humanoid animations, and advance our progress towards draugr anims(new control rig wil...

"Where the f*** is warhammer 2.0??"

Hey everyone, not here to make excuses or anything but I'm doubtful as to whether or not I can still finish warhammer 2.0 by the end of the month. I didn't give deadlines for when it would be finished but I did set a release date for when the mod will be public which means i'm way behind schedule (but I won't change it). I'm currently really busy with work and I have lots of things to do. I also have to finish the rig i'm making before I even can continue to animate for skyrim, so that has eaten up a lot of my time. Than...

Elder Souls - Warhammer & Battleaxe 2.0

Requirements: SkySA (SE), AMR (SE), DAR (SE)___________________________________________________After lots of struggling with technical issues I finally have a first version of the new warhammer animations. I plan to add a 4th attack for variety (currently the combo just ends, it doesn't loop but when I add the 4th attack i'll make it loop) Some bugs persist that I need to iron out.

Warhammer animations update #2

Been having a really tough time with this one (technical, the animations themselves weren't the issue and pretty fun to make). First I ran into an error with the export script which caused me to play a whole different animation in game, that required me to create a whole new rig and retarget some animations onto it. It'll take a bit longer to get the 4th attack and the power attacks, but i'll get there eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later)No matter what happens tho i'm for sure getting a version out in a few hours even...

Update on warhammer animations

Hey guys, sorry for the wait (it's been like a few weeks now since I last posted?)The new warhammer anims should hopefully be ready for their first version to release soon (either today or tomorrow)

Content drought

Sorry for the absence guys, I know it was a slow month but i've been pretty busy with work and everything. Next month i'll probably be posting an update to 1hm replacer (yeah another one ik) and maybe a warhammer/battleaxe revamp bc I'm not that happy with the existing moveset (though this is not guaranteed but I will try my hardest to get it out next month)If that doesn't interest you well, that's what this post is for lol

Elder Souls - Scimitar

Requirements: SkySA (SE), AMR (SE), DAR (SE)__________________________________________________Small mod reusing assets I made for Elder Souls - Sword 2.0. I realized stabbing someone with a curved swords looks kind of awkward. So I've given scimitars a special moveset. Elder Souls - Sword 2.0 animations are placeholder, they'll be replaced with either slightly reworked animations or new ones.I included patches for Dark Souls pack from Team Tal and Unplayable Faction Armors by NorwardUADark Souls Pack: No linkUnplayable Faction Armors: h...

Elder Souls - Axe & Mace 3.0

Requirements: SkySA (SE), DAR (SE), AMR (SE)___________________________________________________A reworked version of the mace and axe movesets, I didn't want to change it too much, but I've also improved a lot so I wanted to update this moveset. I took my existing animations and used those as a base, then exaggerated the poses and adjusted the timing for an overall improved feel.

Elder Souls - Dodge

Requirements: TDM (SE), DMCO (SE), DAR (SE), AMR (SE)very very early version of a dodge animation replacer for DMCOCurrently only includes dodges for battleaxe and warhammers, 1 handersAn additional polish pass and more weapons on the wayI chose to make this for DMCO (patreon mod) since I know it'll become free in the future and the features were most important to me. It's AMR and DAR based meaning I can make an infinite variety of dodges based on any conditions I want and I can control i-frames and stamina consumption from within the a...

A little update

So I've decided that I don't want to raise my prices after all (sorry for the miscommunication, and of course if you want to downgrade again to $1.50 PM me and I'll return your money)Things don't change as far as the other plans and my roadmap are concerned (gif is showing WIP NPC movesets to spice up the combat, dodges on the way aswell)I made an ambitious promise and I plan to deliver on it.Poise animations are also nearly complete, and distar is working on the behavior side of things on that aswell, so release maybe soon (we ...
