// learning to "let the animation go!" This was a battle idle standoff animation which seamlessly loops until the player input triggers the next animation on the list. The most challenging part animating these quads aside from the obvious "it needs to look good" are the very tight deadlines we had to get these done. If my memory serves me well, we had 3 days to animate and no matter what, we had to stop on day 3 otherwise we would never hit our production deadlines. The reason why it's tough is because no matter what you animate, biped, quad, human, creature etc... it generally takes a bit of time to warm up to the rig. Similar to actors having to reshoot a scene many times over until the performance feels right. By day 3 you're getting so used to the rig that you want to do even more but the clock and production schedule are set and the only thing you can do is learn to let the animation go.
