Hi, this is an extended Thread to this one here
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/202950-Mecanim-Motions-and-3rd-Person-Control-By-Zodiac-Alliance-Digital-Entertainment/page5

Some of our Customers have been asking us to create Non-Combat related motions.
Please tell us on what it is that you need,
If we can get enough comments to see they are needed, we might consider creating them.

We are not likely to include them with the full package, but as separate Motion Pack though.

Please note that since something like crafting, gathering, emotion etc
are concepts, as such we cannot create them.
In order for us to create something, we need to know specifically of what it is that you wanted.

For example, [Crafting], is a concept, and we cannot create that.
[Hammering Metal on an Anvil] is specific, and we can create that.

[Gathering] is a concept
[Picking fruit from a tree] is specific

[Emotion] is a concept
[Pointing at Angrily] is specific

So on, and so forth

Here is what we need for our realistic medieval world:

Farming animations: Sowing seed (spreading arms), raking ground, pulling hand plow, cutting grain, bundling grain.
Other Farming: Milking cow, shearing sheep.

General crafting: These can be use for a variety of crafting skills.
Table work (sitting at a table moving hands), Sewing with a needle, standing up at table (moving hands), pounding hammer horizontally and vertically (carpentry).
Cooking: Stirring in bowl or pan, frosting a cake, putting something in an oven, flipping in pan, chopping food items on a board/table.

Gathering:
Picking fruit from trees, picking fruit from bush, picking things off the ground. One I rarely see…using a simple fishing pole, casting, (no reeling), pulling out a fish (or not). Also, using a net which might include dropping something and then gathering it up.

Mining:
Using pickaxe on ground, using pickaxe on walls.

Miscellaneous: Female animations such as walks, sitting without legs spread out (see a lot of these!), sexy walk, and females talking. I see a lot of male conversation poses but few with women chatting. The male ones are often to masculine for a female character.
Also needed, some dance animations that are not simply modern dances.

That is all I am going to list for now although there are many more. I am sure others have their own needs as well. Some of these, such as the pickaxe and picking stuff off the ground can be found elsewhere but some, such as milking a cow and cutting grain I have not seen elsewhere.

Some can be more general. Working at a table, either standing or sitting does not have to be specific. Just moving hands would work.

BTW, I don’t expect you to supply everything. :slight_smile: But it would be nice if we could see a few different animations than the usual ones over and over. Even a few of these would be nice.

As a reference for how many Votes we need.

Since we have no need to use these ourselves, calculation will be purely on the profit basis.

Making bits and pieces will result in time loss due to ineffective production pipeline,
as such a bare minimum of set package is require.

We need to make around 2,000US$ to cover the capital spent on the production.

If we were to sell the Pacakge for 10US$, then we would need about 200votes to guarantee our Profit.

Taking in consideration on Random Customer, 25% cut can be made.

As such, around 150+ votes is needed if we are going to work on this.

Thanks for asking anyway. :slight_smile:
