Update on my Russian Player models: need animator help

Alright, since obviously the default player anims for a PIAT or Sten don't work with the Russian equivalents (Panzerfaust and PPSh, respectively) and there's no other player anims that already work, I have to reanimate the players. This is quite a lot of work. For eample the Panzerfaust has 3 sets of shooting anims, 3 sets of idle anims, and 3 sets of aiming anims. Each has 9 animations apiece (stand, crouch, and prone). 9 times 9 equals 81 if I did my math properly. So that's 81 anims for the Panzerfaust. Plus the 3 etxtra reload anims for it. 84 anims I have to do for the Panzerfaust...

You can see why this is taking awhile to finish the player models.

If any animators here would like to help me share the load, I'd be quite happy. It's not that hard (mostly redundant) and I haven't ever had experience with player anims before, but I'm handling it alright. Anyone feeling like helping me, IM me.

This will go much much much faster the more people we get to do it. I still have the PPSh, the Maxim, the rest of the Panzerfaust (I've already got the first 9 done, now I'm on the second 9), and reloads for those and the DP. I can do the hard ones (the reloads) and then you can do the easy ones (the aiming, idle, and shooting ones) if you want.

You mean in the pic where he has it grabbed by the barrel? I'm guessing you're using the Thompson anims for that, but the way soldiers really held the PPSh was on the stock between the magazine and the trigger, or by the big drum mag, that's why I'm reanimating it, because there's no equivalent. Thanks though.

Hey Cheeto,

Not sure if you remember me or not, but i think ages ago, i asked you for a Russian pack, and i guess hopefully now it'll be a reality?

I have quit playing dod and thinking about going back to it, and this pack will definitely pull me back..

btw. . Stalker has done Russian DOD player pack (for which i'm greatful to him), check it out http://cdg.csnation.net/viewtopic.php?t=7870

Thanks a lot for your hard work...

Since the release of some Russian player models, I found out that the Tommy reload animations work best with your PPSh41. I modified the Russians, Axis-inf, and Axis-Para and I've yet to test them out. I'll post screenshots of them in action to see what I mean.
