I have the same problem as Draxios, my left/right strafe animations aren't quite right, and I am using your other movement animation, so not sure what the problem would be, only mod affection left/right strafe with bow held is this mod. I even purged all the bow animations and redownloaded mod and still wonky.
My feet animations look weird when I strafe left and right while I'm holding a bow. I think its because I'm not using your walk and run animations. Would be nice if you could look into this.
I like the modular nature of your animation series, although I would rather appreciate a "compilation" of all the series mods so that I don't have to download them all separately if I don't plan on using other animations.
Really appreciate the hard work you put into these animation packs, I do use a few select files from a variety of mods, yours included to create a balanced and somewhat realistic approach to combat animations.
I would like to leave a bit of constructive criticism towards your approach at animating and animations in general.
My biggest gripe with animation mods in general is the lack of weight and inertia behind them which is why I found it hard to find an all inclusive animation replacer, so I decided to make my own from a variety of really good mods (like yours).
Some of them take this approach consciously, like over stylized Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, Bloodborne and Nier type animations which are fun in their own right but clash with the more grounded and weighty art style Skyrim has going for it in my opinion.
Now I feel that your animation packs have a somewhat middle of the road approach, stylized and grounded (more perceptible in your running/sprinting and some of the one handed animations) which makes it somewhat stand out when it comes to the lack of weight, like lack of character sway when changing directions or in general when moving forward/left-right etc. they look like they're floating, which is partly explained by the stylized aspect of it.
But like I said, it's different for everyone, I perhaps would rather stick to a more vanilla type animations and disregard the fact that everyone looks like a bunch of apes running around fighting with sticks because at least they make the characters seem planted in the world (affected by their own weight and gravity in general whilst moving) than have them look nice enough with new animation mods but floaty and very, very robotic.
I hope you don't take this to heart, as I do enjoy some of your animations in combination with others (like the one handed attacks and the sneaking in general combined with some of the running animations with swords applied to a specific gender or another).
To circle back to the beginning, the effort behind your mods is obvious and I would like to see a general improvement in animation mods for Skyrim, and as I lack the skill to pull it off myself I hope to provide some genuine constructive criticism to perhaps aid in this process as much as I can.
Good day, watching the show videos i saw a glimpse of what seems to be a trajectory, did you made this yourself or is a public mod? If it public would you care to share the name? Also while using the mod I noticed that when the player aims up tp shoot a dragon for example the bow and arrow gets all dorky and unnaligned, only sharing what seemed an error to me.
Run/walk still looks a bit dorky, but miles better then vanilla, or what I had. Particularly pleased it's all vanilla named files, and not packaged for one of the newer overrides.
Thanks to you i changed my game s all animations without ESP files or script files in an immersion way. Thank you so much, i use your all mods and i add New ones as you make new mods
