As a little additional announcement, in the middle of working on this project I came up with a better way of cleaning animations, which is why I'll be reuploading some older sets so that the quality of animations is consistent throughout.

So far I've added better sets for Galadriel, Corsair and Mouth of Sauron, and more are definitely to come!

Wow, so good to see you back. Great job, as always 

[Ganon]

I've been away for a while, but it's nice to see this effort hasn't ended, but instead, only improved. 

[Mathijs]

Heaps of praise and commendations for this continued effort. You're a legend, NDC.

[Felipe Roll-st]

Legend!!, glad to know you're back  , heaps of thanks for your contributions

[NDC]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Sauron and Isengard Wildman are reuploaded!

[Mathijs]

Request: Angmar necromancer (kunecro_skl) - it seems the animations can't be edited properly. Can you take a look?

[Miraak5]

Mathijs

u mean they broke when exporting to fix the frames/lags ?

(i am fixing rotwk anims for 2.02 and i have the same problems with dark dunedains anims) 

 

EDIT: ye i just tested they have the same export problem as dark dun anims :(

Also, sorry for double post but i have 3 requests: 

 

IUSaruman_SPCA (thunderbolt anim)

BFME2 animations for Gondor Knights (GUCavalry) (bfme2 added some new anims to this set)

MUWchKng_HITA (being hit anim, was not in the WK.rar but this is the less important by far)

[NDC]

Oooof, in terms of animation cleaning it could not get any worse - with twelve limbs in total to take care of, but now it's done!

Spiders are coming everyone!!

Spider Rider is added on the list.

To Mathijs, Miraak5: Right, I see what you mean. The remedy is simple - just import into Max the skeleton an animation set is based on (e.g., kunecro_skl.w3d or kudrkdun_skl.w3d), and then reexport it, replacing the original skeleton file. After that all animation sets should export without any glitches.

Since, we're talking about RotWK, you might have noticed this rugged, laggish feel of some of Angmar animations (like the in-game attack animations of Dark Numenoreans).
If you want to remove this effect and make the resulting animations look more fluid, when reexporting them tick the Compress option in the W3D Export Options dialogue (it is right below the spinners with frames). The reason for this is that most RotWK animations are not compressed and as a result do not support animation blending between frames. By ticking Compress, you ask Max to generate BFME1-style timecoded animations, for which interframe smoothing works.

I'll look at those soon: I'm trying to get Goblins done, and I have something like one and a half sets left!
