I would avoid having the base pole for the quintain move, as it currently looks as if the pole is bending to accommodate the movement instead of rotating arounds it axis.

Oh, I assumed that's what you wanted. :lol: Ok, I'll work on the rotation then.

The quintain doesn't even need to bend; the chain can simply extend enough to hit the adjacent hex(es).

continued...


EDIT
Currently the file supports two images, what about the last one and one holding it out at 10ish oclock?

There is nothing wrong with having more images to make the animation smoother, in fact it's preferred, even for the quintain.

Ok. I had an idea for the movment anim. What if he sprouted two stick legs and ran with them? It may sound stupid. Or I could do a pogo stick kinda movment. Which would be better?

Agreed on the pogo stick too.

Edit: Are you switching to the move anim? I didn't think you had an attack animation yet. Anyway, your project, you work the way you want. Also, your attack animation seems to strike in a circular motion... vertically? I somehow thought he would spin horizontally, a whirlwind attack of sorts if you will...

I drew a quick mock-up for reference, Konrad on the left and the quintain on the right.

Honestly, I don't care how it works, I figured TSR wanted a swinging motion. I can still draw up a spining motion too that fine.

Turuk: I'm not sure what the image represents.

Dixie: I am not done with the Atack Animation, I just had an idea :P

It was a joke based on the Black Knight from Monty Python, he's a skilled pogo master. But I digress.

Either would work, as long as the chain/arm seems to reach out in a convincing way to hit an adjacent hex.

That would explian why I didn't get the joke as I've only seen a few of the shorter clips. I'm not really one for 'british' comedey :lol:

Yes. I'm still trying to figure that out. I assume it should have a motion trail/blur as well. Isn't there standard for those posted somewhere?

Sorry, double post. Is this a good idea?
