WIP : Centaur Animations

[Narntson]

By adding an anticipation before he draws his bow would strengthen your animation. Right now it's too simple and you need to make it complex. thus more interesting: Try adding this, before he pulls back the arrow, he leans forward and low with the bow in his hand and positions the arrow onto his sights. Then he draws it all up and aims.... And you could shuffle his hooves and shift his body while preparing to shoot.

Thanks for the feedback, id love to try and add some more feel to the bow animation however the issue becomes that the torso should be kept as much of the mo cap data as possible therefore if i hand animate too much then the entire exercise becomes a little bit pointless as it would just be basically all hand animated. but ill take your feedback on board, i totally agree with your comment of making him move more during the bow animation at the moment ive updated the aniamtions slightly based on feedback the lower half now in the bow animation kinda braces himself for the show with his foot ill look at adding more movement to his lower body, thanks again for looking at them tho these feedback is brilliant :)

You might want to try involving the whole body.
