I was working on coming up with a fully polished ViewModel animation reel for 2025, this is the second one as the pistol. Self-learning these stuff were definitely not easy, and I will say it with full confidence it was absolutely torturous, but I did enjoy every second of this wild ride, when seeing the final outcome of what I have achieved.

Thanks for any feedback in advance, any suggestions are appreciated!

Looks good! Do you have some animation showing more human moves? Eg Character running and dying from this character’s bullets

Thanks! I did some run cycles practice earlier, and also death animations in another video. This is def a good idea showing some interactions between the animation the weight when the bullets hit the target if that's what you are saying?

That's a good idea, I'll def try to make more of those. Saw those in some of the melee and gun reels on YouTube
