I haven't left the building, I just have a RL that really sucks balls right now. I have made an underwater attack animation but as long as we can't bind it to a key (which afaik needs FNIS), it won't be of any use. Still, here it is.

Betatesting was awesome, thanks for asking. :)

 

As for the animation, I had thought about using it as a replacement for ritualspell_aimrelease.hkx but I don't know how to address that animation directly, I guess it's in a package which I know nothing about. And I don't want every ritualspell using mage in the game to use it after all. So I think it must be implemented as a new animation and bound to some kind of magic damage. And THEN we still don't know whether it works underwater or not.

I think althought not sure  it has something to do with the .hkx file, the one which tells the game which animations to use and what folder path to use. And I've been meaning to ask, is there a seperate different animation for sneak swimming? Is it possible to bind the mermaid swim to sneak swimming, so only when you sneak you swim like a mermaid, but swim regularly when not. In land, there is a crawling sneak animation, although it needs a bt more tweaking to fit mermaids, the mermaid can just always sneak so she'll be crawling all the time.

I don't see much logic in that... the tail is supposed to enable you to swim faster, not slower.

 

And honestly, I don't understand people's fascination with a mermaid that's helplessly flopping about on land either. My mermaids won't do that, period. They are a proud new race, not a new sex toy with fins.

I did not say to make them swim slower, I never meant to make them slower. I said that to perhaps have different way of swimming for mermaids and humanoids, if the sneak swim and normal swim are different. If you still don't understand the, simply put I don't want all normal human race to swim like mermaids, the word exclusive. How much proud can a mermaid race be if their way of swimming is the same as regular humanoids?

Because it's unrealistic for mermaids to swim in the air, and not flop/crawl on land. If you don't want your mermaids (which you haven't even made yet) to flop on land, dont.

Thanks for asking the creator, but maybe you should ask for a "no standing all crawl" animations instead. No random standing, no rolling, and still crawl when fighting or casting. That's what I've observed using the animation.

oi, with FNIS that one swim animation suludi made will probably be exclusive to mermaids

 

and hopefully by what suludi meant is there would be a more dignified crawl animation, i doubt that's the case though, which is very disappointing, but oh well.

 

oi, if i could figure out how to replace animations in diff slots, i would do that myself, might as well look into it now.

- Still the awesomest work to the time. I hope those are not abandoned and will work someday... *sigh*

 

those are actually models for dazstudio, they arent for skyrim.

That could be possible, if she made it as a new race, not some Breton who's equipped with a tail. If that's the case, it will still affect all the Bretons. I read, animations are spefic to each race, not to each individual. Seems like she prefers equippable tails than a new race with mermaid body. I don't really care, as long as there will be a mermaid tail.

Okay... things are finally coming into shape. After hiding in a dark hole for several weeks, I have now started to learn weightpainting. And when I finally realized it was possible to bind the mesh to the tailbones (of skeletonbeast-female.nif) instead of the legs, it almost worked. Weightpainting is still a bitch but I think I'll get it done. :)

I'm using CBBE and no, there won't be any exposed genitals on her. At least not on this basic model but I think I'll offer a few variations. No nif file yet cause I'm not finished but now that I have a vague idea of what I'm doing, I'll hurry up. :)

I'll make males as well, and I'm thinking about an option to use BodySlide. I may use other types, too, but I'm not familiar with most of them so I'd need suggestions.
