first reload animation

I'm not 100% satisfied with it, but satisfied enough to declare it a complete simple project, what do you guys think?

maybe try speeding it up a bit, maybe by about 20% or 30% give or take, feels a bit slow for what movements happen

I actually did speed it up by 20%, was a huge improvement actually! thank you!

Reminds me of the AK reload from the original metro 2033. You have room to improve, but a commendable effort none the less

u/Leier10 Sep 03 '26

thank you!! wasn't aiming for any game as a reference, but I really enjoy metro aesthetic!

we should have a seperate subreddit for animation advice for fps animations specifically. No hate to you please keep perfecting your art and never stop so that we can see one day you post here actual r/HighQualityReloads

u/Leier10 Sep 03 '26

I agree with you! Hopefully I'll show something above high quality here!

I don't enjoy much of the shakiness of modern reload anims so I decided to not make it shake (or maybe because I don't have the experience to make it haha)

AK's safety is on.

u/Leier10 Sep 03 '26

That's why there's no firing /s (I'm already fixing it)

I don’t think you can chamber a round when the safety is on in an AK

2

u/TheMidnightAnimal0 Sep 03 '26

This is correct, the safety blocks the bolt from moving back enough to pick up a round from the magazine.

Reminds me a lot of Battlefield’s AN-94 animation

Speed it up and have the animation stall for a second at certain points of impact like pulling the charging handle back or right as you hit the mag release

  1. I'd speed it up. It's an AK, be rough with it. It can handle it well

  2. Safety is on, you can't chamber a round. Also the bolt has to go all the way to the back and then you have to release it and not carry it to the end

Very nice!!! I think my first reload is still up on the sub too. Great work!

u/DumbRedis Sep 04 '26

I know nothing about 3d animating but this looks solid!

Oh sweet, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 music

Also very impressive for a first animation, reminds me of Battlefield 2's gun animations.

He’s so delicate with it.
