So these questions go out to anyone who knows how to animate or at least has a foggy idea. (No offense to anyone else). I am struggling badly to the point I actually may ask someone for animations but I don`t want to. I watched Therizzler which was what a lot of people who were like me suggested to watch since it involved animations in fallout, I pretty much am to the point with that video where I could probably recite it almost word for word but it hasn`t helped in the slightest bit except show me the bones that are structured with the weapons (those color boxes in 3DS) and how to create that list you need so the game reads it and animate based on those numbered text documents. I get all those portions as if you go into my Scorpion files you`ll see all that was done correctly or else the animation wouldn`t exist at all and you could not reload period. So my questions are what am I doing wrong when I try to copy what Therizzler does with the bones and move them around, I test it in the game and the animations are a complete wtf or they flat out don't work. But he moved his revolver's bones and then moved different parts of his mesh around with no issue. I didn't follow his modeling techniques as I kind of learned by experimenting and some videos helped along the way. The 2nd question is can Maya be used an alternative to 3DS as I`ve read it has more to offer and they`re kinda the same and I was wondering if maybe it could just be me not understanding 3DS`s animating and I could possibly learn Maya and go from there?
Does it require some sort of adjustment? I have right now the CombatShotgun as a placeholder for now but I can’t edit them to get them to work right with Scorpion at all.

I'm going to see if I can pull the animation data from the HK UMP to see if that works.
Kind of worked but the animations just look a little wacky.
