ARMA 3 development blog & reveals

Are you really sure about that? i see the arma 2 animations on that girl - try in arma2 , run with woman and walk - exact same

Naw, not the exact same. It's really similar, but not exactly the same. The running in ArmA2 is more like a damsel in distress kinda of run. The elbows are tucked in more. The hands cross the body. In the animations we see in this video, the elbows are away from the body, and yet the hands don't cross the chest as much. This run is much more like a runner than the animations in ArmA2. They are similar, but these animations in this video are definitely new. And, yeah, I did just run and walk around with a woman character in ArmA2. But, I actually don't think the ArmA2 female animations were that bad. It's the male animations that are terrible.

As promised, here is the youtube video

Yup the woman's anims are definitely new. Just tested in Arma2 to make sure.

The running animation wasn't all that good, but I liked the new walking anim when she (bikini girl) was in the water. Overall BIS seems to have almost nailed the walking anims already (as seen on the soldiers in the Stratis teaser), but the new running animations we've seen are all still quite robotic and really stick out like a sore thumb. I hope these get improved.

okay okay - my bad

This is what I mean -the left arm is too long and the palm backward looks strange for her small boned frame. Also the forearm appears to have more girth then the upper arm which shouldn't be unless she's an arm wrestler.

Bikini girl is using WIP male animations since female version isnt finished yet (that said i am not responsible for unarmed cycles - just a headsup before u stone me publically ). And as for headbob looking like in arma1 - headbob is a matter of tweaking mostly.

Well maybe you should be given the difference in quality between armed and unarmed animations is just ridiculous.

Plus that bikini girl 3D model should be scrapped. BIS start over.

Smookie - i hope you will do some great pistol animations - unlike those in arma2 , where he is running with pistol like a "retard"
