📋 About This Mod
Animation Motion Revolution solves the issue where movement in animations was driven by a bunch of preset values and animations were just window dressing. 10 years from the release of this game, players can finally have a system to customize the true displacement of actors... for each animation individually.
Currently on the works...

I highly recommend you watching the following two videos, as they perfectly describe why this mod is so needed:

The magic happens through animation annotations. The plugin reads custom annotations containing the motion data. Then it is injected into the game engine to move the actor. If the annotations are correct, movement will be perfectly synced with the animation.
If you read up to this point, you may be interested on giving it a try in your modlist. So... back to Skyrim again?
Although it is not a hard requirement to work with animations, this mod would make little sense without Dynamic Animation Replacer. So go install it now! :)
In vanilla, only power attacks, stagger, and some interactions with clutter use motion data. The amazing Modern Combat Overhaul (successor of (SGC) SkySA - Combat Behavior Compulsion) enables attacks (other than power attacks) to be driven by motion data. MCO is built around this mod and it will unlock AMR's full potential, so go get it now!
Of course, SCAR - Skyrim Combos AI Revolution, the AI mod that allows NPCs make intelligent use of each attack animation at their disposal. My mod and maxsu2017's one shine the most together.
