About combat animation

[recan005]

Hi, everybody

Cause I try to make a thrusting animation
I using "Animation Tools N3 Rig Custom", but I found that I can't rotate the sword

so, the question is how do I adjust the sword in neutral、realistic、healthy and historical position like this

 

but not like this?
Thanks

Hi!

I haven't tried skyrim yet but love the style 

Been trying a little bit of an action scene for my Sims and taken some inspiration!

 

 

It maybe the difference in pose, the photo is more of a defensive stance but the blender pic is more of an offensive strike,

To me it looks like you would need to rotate the arm anticlockwise from the shoulder, maybe a slight twist on the forearm too,  then untwist the wrist to bring it back into place, 

 

This is something I been creating in TS4 and hopefully one day I'll try the real thing 

 

Good luck and I'd love to see how your thing turns out!
