Looks good! Though, the part where he raises his arms feels a little slow. :unsure:

More work with smith please. Work on anvil - its awersome, but smith should work with others smith instruments. I can help u with models, if u want something, just send me PM.
And maybe in mage guild something with scroll in hands, or working on a new poison.. etc...
Interesting to see, what would be after hit animated npc? he will fight? And after that would enable animation? Or it would be stucked?
Also i have idea about sleeping animation - using scipts, all Vvanderfell peoples will sleep finnaly!
taverns - drunked peoples, or trader that show to us items... Or could u make guard that walking on the street with weapons?

100% that with this animations, Morrowind NPC world will look better than Gothic 2 NPC world.

this is actually impossible, the number of animations per NPC is very limited. this is a game engine limit e none could go around this, so we haveo to wait for open morrowind

All possible, my morrowind friend, with scripts programming,

Look example:
We have 3-4 defaults idles, tha NPC default use. Full number of idles is - 9, we have - minus 4, and have 5 free idles. So, we can use 5 animation's per NPC, with little scripting proggraming - we have NPC with full animated day, that will look awersome.
:)

Also, there is a brillaint French mod, Ang?lus Vol. 2 : La colonie Ang?lusienne , which has some fanatastic animations for Alchemists, looking at a map, sitting, sitting and splashing feet in water, acrobatics, lounging/lying down, posing, looking at the sky/stars, using various instruments (like a microscope, telescope), reading (sitting and standing), and so many more. If you want to give the mod a look (to further inspire your future animations) then it can be found at Wiwiland .

Some very good work going on in this thread; the greater diversity that this offers will truly amplify the atmosphere of the game world :thumbsup: !

This is one of the mods that have a lot of stuff included. It is a pity they didn't bring this mod to a larger public.

Anyway, some of the animations I am preparing, are similar

Every single NPC gets a animation makeover
Dream mod lol.

That animation of the one standing up is good, it's so fluent. Oh and I made a mining animation.

Agreed, awesome reading animations!

Let's see your mining animation Taroustheslayer =)

Wow, this is coming along nicely. I want more of that!

Well I'm waiting for Arcimaestro Anteres respond to my PM about making a special pair of gloves like his smith's gloves, but with a pickaxe attached.

Just out of curiosity, what are the sitting animations from that mod like?

But to be back on topic, I really love the second animation from the latest video, but the first one is a bit too dark from me to see. I like how this is coming along though, and I hope progress will remain as constant as it has been.

What about a lute playing animation?

Unfortunately not (with the present MW scripting "status" - MWSE, etc.).
The only solution is to use NPC clones, but this requires not always possible "switching" between clones (black screen, magic effect, terrain obstacle, etc.).
Theoretically every NPC can have totally unique set of all MW animation sequences.

Here are available in MW "idles":

Idle
Idlehh
Idle1h

Idle2
Idle2c
Idle2w

Idle3-9

Idle (and hh/1h) is used by the game engine as a main transition pose and therefore cannot be used in scripts in case you want that specific NPC to do something else than idles: e.g. fight/run.

Idle2 (and 2c/2w), is a special case that is not working properly, see:

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:AIWander


Hence, only seven Idles left (3-9) are left. I guess proposed 5 (5,6,7,8,9) are fine (for me 6-9 works well).

Moreover, this (Idles' numbers) can be messed up in different MW installations (MW without addons and with Tribunal and Bloodmood), see:

TO Arcimaestro Anteres

Well done. you do so fast.
this will make a big change to morrowind, a new age coming.

At least I will use these reources for modding. look forward to the release.

It has 2 idles. The one in the video is the slow one, there is another faster idle, according to the speed of the music you want to associate with it.

:bowdown: (running out of words now)

Nice choice of medieval music - will you do a guar skin drummer too? Be nice to have an updated BB Band

Awesome! You have just single handedly made it possible to upgrade every bar in VVardenfell and make it a more lively lovely place. This has been a wish of people since the very beginning when LadyE made her minstrels, you have revolutionized MW, thanks so much!

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.

Wonderful music and wonderful animation! By the way there are different records of the Greensleves, including paying the flute, the violin etc... So, it is possible to use some of them to make a band.

Finally real http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yXkQfj1OjI in morrowind, sorry for the crap quality it's another stupid avi to mpeg converter I used. The gloves with the pickaxe are courtesy of Arcimaestro Anteres and animation is by me.

Edit: Any recommendations on good avi to mpeg converter's that are completely free?

the stopping to breathe looks a bit weird, otherwise it looks ace! Thank you for your hard work =)
