ESO animator is top notch!

Raideen

I am as critical as anyone in regards to some design decisions of the game and the performance (especially lately), but for the sake of trying to interject a positive note onto the forums, go preview the Fire Spinning emote in the Sovengarde Crate. That is some STELLAR animation. Whomever made that is hella good at their craft.

Wait... Your positive forum topic is clown crates?

No, I hate crown crates and I was going to leave a disclaimer in the OP but I did not think someone would actually think I was championing crown crates when the skill of the artist has nothing to do with them.

.....and then you come along.

As you seem to have humor about, it is funny that such a glowing compliment is related to the crates. Yes, there is some good work that appears in the cash shop. I tend to avoid it though as the game is my focus, as I expect is yours.

My positive critique on the quality of work performed by the artist has zero to do with the cash shop.

I did think it looked spectacular. Not enough to spend my few crown gems from the old free crate giveaways on, though.

I kinda wish we'd get an update to the New Life Festival animations from the Castle Alcaire quest. This fire dancing could have been a good addition.

Ya, no way I would spend that much for the emote. WAAAY to expensive for me.
I just really love the animation and its complexity. Rigging is not easy, and especially not easy when its a "human" doing the emote. It's pretty complex, the work is well done. It's a lot of effort for something that is not going to be for sale most of the year though

Be careful. Remember how cool the Breton costume looked, then once we bought it, the costume looked nothing like was advertised.

Maybe the animations will not look as good once in our cyber hands.

Thanks you for the heads up. I have no intention of purchasing it. It's not "my style" of a thing, and secondly even if it was its too expensive for my blood. I just really appreciate the work that went into it.

Yes! I agree. I have several friends who are fire spinners and the animation is VERY accurate and beautiful!

CrashTest

Yep, it's pretty accurate to the real thing.

Muttsmutt

yeah have him redo the old, dated, basic animation set for players and npcs please.
it's disgustingly stiff-jointed. that is not how a real person stands.

karthrag_inak

Believe his name is Jacob Ian. Heh. A little kinematic optimization humor there, indulge this one .

Octopuss

I guess it's someone completely different than the person who made the jumping animations.
/cringe

Red_Feather

I think it is a new animation. It is really good and I sometimes think about using some gems to get it.

MajThorax

Too bad they can't use their skills to make animated clothes and armors, or capes.

RodneyRegis

Ah, saw somebody using that a few days ago and asked about it but no response. How much does it cost? Would pay with gems but not crowns.

It's 100 gems. I was lucky to get it, it's really fun. I love the emotes lately (/falkreathfrolic!), shame they seem to put them in higher tiers now.

No capes.
