New Animations

from Elemental Forums

Fallen Enchantress is a great game, but I kinda find the animations leave a little something to be desired.

First thing is first, since I have no experience/skill or the necessary software, I'm wondering if anyone can point me to anyone with custom animations available, or in progress?

Second, is it possible to create and implement new animations to the tactical combat, not just the sovereign selection and world map?

My undying thanks if anyone is able to point me in the right direction.

I have a few new animations in Stormworld, not for humans though. I used 3ds max, but Maya and Blender should work just fine.

Yes, it is possible to implement new animations everywhere. The only limitation is that animations are bound to different events - a unit's Death, it Idling, it Running and so on. This makes it not possible to create a new animation set for dual wielding daggers, for example (except if you have a unit that only does that).

A word of caution, creating animations is extremely time consuming and difficult. I would be surprised if they hadn't spent thousands and thousands of hours to create the ~900 animations currently in the game.
