A 3-Part sword combo. I wanted to push more towards action animations. Swinging a sword around while in a forward stance is simple, yet helps to work the whole rig, and establish a good start for future sword swings. I changed the lighting between the initial and second rendered version, because I believed it was too harsh and wasn't benefiting the animation.
Starting from a neutral idle pose is necessary for blend shaping the animation in game content, if needed.
I added SFX lines in order to emphasize the sword attacks, similar to the drum hits from my last animation.
This rig is from of the Baqir Character from Animation Sherpa (© Copyright Animation Sherpa 2024), and I am using it here in a non-commercial and educational use.
Thanks for watching!
