This was taken with my Sony w580 cellphone.
Looks like a nuke went off or something.
All this with my Sony w290 camera.
I'm really new at this, I still need a lot of practice with the cam.
What if you make a normal size critter of jesus mordino, without the counter. And when he dies use a script that removes the normal counter an adds an animated counter with the animation.
For example
The death animations in the critter would be the same, like this, flying backwards...
In fact, I think that you can use the rifle idle animation, or at least a part of it, I don't have it in mind right now but as far as I can remember it will go well.
I was thinking of making a sniper.. with sneak, outdoorsman and small guns.. always alone, using only rifles and maybe some melee for backup. And he enter to towns briefly, to get what he needs.. But I didn't give much thought to it.
Heh.. I remember using plant spikes as a weapon with an edited character.. almost every shot was a critical to the eye resulting instant death.. then I had to recover the spikes from under the corpses.. it was particulary dificult with molerats.. but now, nothing can hide under a corpse animore.
It looks stiff because of the speed of the gif.
Here, look.. he edited the sledgehammer animation, so there aren't frames missing.
You can see the hammer head in the shadow :)
