Awesome work, Anarch!     Can't wait to see it in-game!

aww yiss

gonna use this to make that new skill

Well, No problem, I can make a two hit variation in an a couple of hours if you want, I can use the first 2 hits of the animation, or the first one and the stab if you still want to have the multi hit ending. 

thanks

the first backswing then forward swing is what im thinking of

i tried the combined animations but theres is a weird delay between the swings
im wondering if the swings can come one after the other

i noticed in the timer for the combined version the 2nd swing comes really late after the 1st swing
making it look odd when you spam it.

also thanks again for helping me out 

Retimer to cut/speed up stuff might be what you're looking for   The delay probably comes from the combo of the swing recovery of the first anim, and the swing "warmup" of the second.

Of course, none of that compares to having custom anims made by Anarch 

Edit: Cut the last 0.22s from the first, and the first 0.22s of the second (and shift the second back by -0.22s).  Speed up both by 1.5x (so the resulting anim is 0.75s long.
 

Yep, Retimer/Animcombine it's great for making prototype/mockup anims for testing or for when you can't get custom ones.

Edit: Retimer seems to have a state-tracking bug, so if you need to do more than one thing on an anim, it's probably best to do thing #1, save, quit and reload retimer, and then do thing #2.

Edit 2: Another retimer bug: it doesn't always change the anim length field after you cut something.

Edit 3: Another one: when you cut/retime stuff, sometimes it leaves stray keyframes beyond the end timestamp, which causes problems when fed into animcombine.

Here's a preview of Rslash3/Rslash1:

Edit: Looks like a single attack with a powerful backswing - you can separate it out more by cutting/shifting less.

woo awesome !
that was quick
thanks 


EDIT:
just tested it

PERFECT

Nice to see you inspire Khazad  Yeah, with retimer and your animation combiner you can make some cool animations, if you could add some mixing features to the combiner, like making transitions or just using movements of just some parts of the body, like using the body movement of anim, and mix it with the lower body of the run anim for example, you would almost have the motion mixer of 3ds max. But this is a crazy idea, and would requiere a lot of math.

This remembers me of some animations that  Zyph did for his monk class some time ago, but he edited all by hand... totally crazy XD

Obviously, if someone want to really get into animations I would recommend getting 3ds max 2009 (student copy, trial, even a pirated copy would do, if your moral is a bit gray  ) since the tools are much more robust and the use of IK constrains of the raw rigged player model makes everything a lot more easy to avoid impossible body possitions.
