Okay, so sometimes i want to do an organic animation, like lets say first person weapon reloading. So i use my own arms to pretend to be like the actual game arms and move them around in a reloading animation for your gun, then put it in your game. Same thing goes for other animations. Its also handy to have a fake or airsoft version of your weapon to do it with. You can also do this for full character animations, like a kick or somthing like that. Now to making guns. Need a weapon of some sort to use in a sci-fi for fantasy game? Look in your house. I had a shampoo bottle that can look like a heavy duty laser pistol. Plus i had a shampoo bottle, flipped it on its side, opened the cap, and it looked like a pistol with a really cool sight. BUT if you add a barrel, clip and stock in a modeler, you can turn it into a carbine.

I see someones been having a fun weekend!

good advice aswell, i used this technique alot when learning how to make walk cycles...

i'm alway's using the mirror for animations steping really slowly then quickly the girlfriend thinks im going mad sometimes untill i explain what im actually doing

great idea with props for inspiration, i never really though of that,

lol. that's funny as heck.

i remember my first walk cycle. i drove my family nuts trying to get it right (we were in a hotel room). i personally hate animating, i have to say it's my least favorite part of game design.

yeah, id have to agree with that, though scripting comes a close second. i just can't seem to get the hang of it.
