Elements: More Weapons!
Added 2025-06-09 15:00:07 +0000 UTCHello! Today's pre-release is a deadly one--

I've made a lot of progress on the upcoming Elements character expansion set. One of the features is an expanded arsenal of bladed weapons: the expansion pack will have three new swords (curved, fencing, and katana).

There's also a set of daggers, which have unique animations so they can be used in either hand, and also combined together to be an interesting dual-handed weapon.

I've exported these weapons into a .zip file for today's patron preview asset.
Like other Elements parts, these are arranged in a sheet that's designed to work with our character generator-- you can paste the files directly into the "weapon" folder and they should be good to go!

I hope these are useful to your project!

Progress update:
This week, I also finished animating four new "front hair" pieces. Here's a preview of the new hairstyles that will be included in the upcoming expansion:

At this point, about two-thirds of the set has been drawn and animated, ready for export: beast heads, tails, some hats, new weapons, and these hairstyles.
Next up: the "top" and "bottom" pieces (arms and legs). Doing them last because they have the most complex animations. I plan to get them finished over the next two weeks to finish before the month is over-- we're right on schedule!

And that's it for today.
I'll be back later in the week with something new, likely from the request thread. See you soon.
Thanks!

Been waiting for the fencing rapier! Nice!!! The only thing I would recommend doing, is giving the strike animation more of a forward thrust effect, like the one that the spears use. Traditionally, fencing saber fighting styles are more geared towards thrusting than slashing. The swords themselves are designed for it. Otherwise, looking forward to seeing more!
