Okay, okay. I am the animator for the Character Shop program. And here's my $.02
I was contracted to create the requested animtions for the project. When Halo gave his final approval of my animations the contract was completed along with my obligations. Halo was aware of the minor ground penetration issues with the death sequence and decided that they were no big deal. He signed off on the work and my job was then complete. There was no "warranty" stated or offered. I am under no obligation to do any additional work.
But...
I'm sorry to hear that people are passing on buying this program only because they feel one or two animations have minor issues. I like this program and believe in what Halo's doing. So even though I'm under no obligation to do so, I've decided (with Halo's blessing) to make animation tweaks on animations that need it.
Here's the ground rules:
1) I want to compile a list of animations that users feel need adjustments. I'll review the list and figure which anims need some lovin' (arm in death sequence) and which ones don't.
2) I'm not creating any new anims. I know that everyone has that additional animation that's *so* crutial and should not have been left off the list. Sorry, you'll have to take that one up with Halo. Like I said, my contract is complete so this additional work I'll be doing for the good of the project, not for money.
3) I'll be doing the revisions on my off time so I don't have any ETA on when I'll have any/all of the revisions done.
Now it's up to you guys. State *very* specific issues you have with individual animations (example: elbow through floor in death anim) and I'll plow through and figure which ones will get revisions. I think Halo's already made an excelent tool. But now you guys can help me notch it up a few more clicks! What do you say?
