Hey Adam, thanks for the feedback :) I'll look into it now! I know the animation is slow, I had originally sped it up in post, but I felt this better showed an area I knew to be lacking. Edit: I updated the sword animation looking through your pointers: https://youtu.be/CFsTwx2DoWY Edit2: I updated the animation again,…
Hey Arturow, thanks so much for your comment! :) I'll definitely look at the examples you posted! I am indeed using full IK, as I don't really know how to do anything else.
