Wisp's Throwing Knife Agile animation is amazing DE!

[Zahnny]

One thing I like to do with a new frame release is look at all of the idle animations for each weapon (animation catagory) and try to look for any interesting gems, and the Portal animation for Wisp's throwing secondary idle is amazing.

So much so, I decided I'm gonna start using the Fusilai with Limbo's deluxe skin for it. All I could think of was the way Thanos disappears into his portal at the end of Infinity War.

I went to go and check it from a technical side in Captura's slow motion and what I saw...DE you deserve a pat on the back. I'm honestly amazed at what technical feats must have went into this, and it's a shame it's only used for one of her animations out of her whole set.

Here's 4 pictures I took

I expected some clever techniques such as manipulating the model or etc to make it happen or work, but this is beyond anything I could have expected with how smooth and clean it is.

These first three were all taken from the same "frame" in Captura at different angles.

Sideways

Front

Final picture and the best one in my opinion.

The fact that on one side they are "solid" and on the other it's completely gone or disentegrating is amazing.

What's more amazing is that this can be used on any frame, in this example I was using Inaros Deluxe.

Unironically I'd pay to have it as an animation that plays in social hubs/relays

I saw that too, the only only problem is that the other animations look too much alike, the other secondaries is just her rolling to the side, single, dual weapon or no weapon at all, not very creative imo

It would be awesome if they was an option to use the unarmed animation sets in levels so you can see your frame do that whenever regardless if they have a gun or melee weapon out.

For the weapons, you could have an option to use the unarmed idle pose and animation with the weapon only being shown while attacking. Would make for great fashion frame in missions and could allow us to see this creative work without having to jump through hoops

Every single time after I finished using my guns or melee? That interrupts the flow of combat and could get me killed at high levels.

Are you really looking at your frame every single time after shooting one group of enemies? No, I've bound F1 to equip my synthesis scanner, it's quick & with just one press of a button.

Plus, in a game like warfame you need to be constantly moving, even a little, so I doubt you'll see much of your animations, by that time you can already press your button to equip a scanner

You do have a point, but I do look at my warframe when the dust settles. Seeing my frame with it's unique animations (especially with wisp). After all, what do you think fashion frame is for? By your logic, it is a waste of time making your frame look good and unique. (It's the closest thing I have to an end game for crying out loud)

Also, I play on xbox. I do not have a keyboard that connects to my console nor do I play with mouse and keyboard as I find it awkward and clunky.

I can't stand wasd. So many buttons and a hard time making a standard format for controls. I do get using a mouse. The closest I have ever used mouse and keyboard was controller and mouse for overwatch.

Opposite for me, controllers are not accurate enough & it's too slow to turn the camera, while with a keyboard I got as many options as I got keys, & yes, I remember what every single one do, all 115 of them

For what exactly? I use my right hand for the mouse if that's what you're asking.

Oh I understand that controllers are not accurate. Mouse is definitely better but like the format and grip of a controller. I actually use a razer wolverine controller which has two extra bumpers and 4 triggers on the bottom that can be bonded to any of the buttons. (Makes it easier to jump while aiming at the same time)

Ah. I understood some people are left handed and use the arrow keys with the mouse on the left side.
