Pretty Combat Animations - Twitching animation

[unpronounceable]

For some reason, when I'm using the bow animations from PCA, the pinkie and ring finger on my character's right hand twitches when the bow is drawn.

This happens rapidly about once per second.

I tried removing all mods except for FNIS and the problem still existed.

The problem also persists with male bodies, strangely enough.

Does anyone with PCA also have this problem?
Does anyone know what the solution might be?

 

Here is my load order.

Fingers bent

 

Normal position

 

 

[Gameplayer]

It could also be the weight painting of the Fingers.

 

Automated programs can sometimes paint incorrectly on gloves and hands....So that you wind up with overlap of adjacent digits.

 

Its a real issue with animations that have some of the fingers moving independently of one another.

Unfortunately, that went above my head a little bit.

What automated programs are you talking about?

Also, can I modify the "weight painting" of the fingers myself?

[Gameplayer]

Have you fired the bow without a glove on?

 

Have you tried a different set of gloves like gloves from the default game meshes (not a mod glove)?

 

If the animation works properly when using non-modded hands then likely the animation weight painting on the fingers is messed up.

 

 

You can try fiddling with weight paints in Bodyslide/Outfit Studio right away those are free.

 

Meshrigger (free also) is an automated weight painter...It can be pretty accurate but sometimes needs some touch ups by hand...

 

Touching up weight paints free hand can be a real bitch.

I did try it with default meshes.

I tried it naked with a male player character too. Completely vanilla male body.

Same weird animation twitch.

If weight painting is related to modded meshes, I suspect that something else is the problem.

[Gameplayer]

If you have ruled out the weight paints on gloves and hands then it may just be that the animation itself has the issue.

 

If that's the case the fix for that is outside of my reach.

 

It'll involve using Blender 2.49b was the last one that I was aware of that was easy enough to port files to nifskope.

 

3DSmax 2012 I know for sure could port files...I think 2014 has a alpha file handler somewhere....

 

That's likely some work with a file that we cant share without getting in trouble.
