  DESCRIPTION

  First and foremost: this was intended to be released as a complete set of all unarmed animations as part of a collaboration with hitman47101. However, as seems to be the case with our planned collaborations, life intervened to make things difficult to coordinate. As such, I'm releasing my "half" of what we agreed to do right now--the full collaboration might be a ways off, as it doesn't seem like either of us will have time to tackle the more specialized animations required for the rest of the unarmed weapons in the near future.

  Given my need for DP since my income dries up in the summer, and given that these animations are done, I didn't see any real reason to withhold them from people. So, you're getting the first "part" of an unarmed animation overhaul. Hopefully, the next release will be from both me and hitman and will cover everything to minimize your downloads.

  With all that said, there isn't a ton more to say. For the punching animations, I took inspiration from the underground indie gem The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, as I always really liked those animations and found that they felt good. That became kind of the aim with a lot of these animations: I can't promise a dramatic leap in quality with the animations as I can with some of the firearm sets I do, but I can promise that these feel much, much better than the vanilla animations (and they do look better, in my opinion).
