Really good job
It is a pleasure to play with your animations.
When we learn how the soft works, looks not so difficult.
Haste to see more

Thanks nico, that's the main thing. And honestly, this will open so many possibilities. I don't feel "dependant" on other anim makers like before now, and if I want to make a player's anim, I'll make it and share it here


Now this one is my baby : Rublev FH

Really happy with it. Try it out guys and let me know if you like it. I have few FHs in my head which I want to work on in the future, but it all depends on available sources/videos. To make a good quality anim I need a closeup and good video reference and those are hard to find past the top 10-15.

Few that I have a source for and I want to make: FAA, Querrey, Mannarino, Alcaraz. If anyone has closeup videos from the back of any top 50 player, send me and I'll consider making

totally agree ; your own creations, your own ideas.

So happy to see new animations coming

Maybe you can try to do some classic players? I think it's never been done before. Connors, maybe Borg would be crazy to see too

Garin's forehand

I find this anims great...!!!

You are really talented for it~~~!!!

[Fed1]

Sam what a legend you are! Thank you for starting with animations!!! I agree with an earlier post about having more classic players, would love to have Agassi, Hewitt, Safin, Gaudio ( I believe someone made his backhand here), Courrier, etc. Anyways, thank you and all the modders for the hard work, TE4 is in safe hands!!

[TE Production]

thanks for the anims sam that would be nice if someone made a video on how to make anims

Totally agree. It would be great if nico75 or SamModder make a video tutorial, I really want to learn.

[Ethanovic]

Please consider making mackenzie mcdonald animations Sam. He has a lot of potential and a great fluidity to his movements, he may be outside of the top 50, but he can play top 20 level for sure. There's also plenty of videos of him playing so it should be possible for you to make them

Also, you are doing a very good job on the animations so far. Keep improving them, also the ones you just did. You might surprise yourself with how good you can become

[campos99]

How quickly you've learned Sam. Your anims seem so natural .....

[suvurvius]

Suvurvius what are your suggestions for the Garin acceleration? I tweaked it so much but lack of proper video for me to base myself on made it so difficult tbh... If you have a closeup video (from the back) from his practice or something you can send it to me so I can improve it more. I modeled the anim based on his Davis Cup training video and some matches.

Might make his backhand at some point but I prefer continuing with forehands for the moment just to get used to things. I really want to make serves but it looks really difficult and I need a better tutorial for that especially for service waiting.

Ahahaha Sam, You read my mind, because my suggestions were about the left hand and arm (like in this video), but you fixed it! Genius I love this forehand of Garin, it's very very real



Sam, my suggestion is if you can make forehand from players that only have other anims (serve or backhand), like Karlovic, Seppi, Youzhny, Paire, Opelka, Hyeon Chung... my dream is to complete the anims of this players

I found a video of Opelka's forehand. His stroke is very singular and explosive. I send you later

Thanks for all the comments guys I'll try my best to share as many anims as I can.

- Regarding the tutorial, I'm sorry but I definitely don't have the time to do it, the only time that I have I try to spend on working on the next 2020 mod and now anims.. However you can all use what I used, which is the tutorial by Neeky/Megyaem which has been very helpful for me in the beginning https://www.managames.com/Forum/topic29-13339.php
- I saw couple of requests, you can keep suggesting although I won't pick up everything. Also, I won't be creating any past/classic anims, only focusing on current tour.
McDonald, yes he's good but I have many in priority in front of him, Opelka yes he is in my plans although not so soon. I mainly want to focus on the younger gen which we know will be the main players in the future, current unmade top 40-50 guys, and some players that I want to try and improve the existing anims from: Ruud and FAA FHs. I'm also working on Rublev's serve although it's very difficult for me to work on serves so far... Will keep you posted

Meanwhile try to enjoy what I already shared, lot of effort went into all 3 of them

Great news !
Service is difficult to make. However, you do a real great job, and Ruud and Felix AA are two good ideas.
Can you share with us some ideas about your next projects/players ?

[rharm2]

Nice job sam! I already made a rublev serve but never released public so if anyone wants it you can use.

[gregwhistler]

Hi Sam!
First of all: thank you!!! For everything you've done for this community and for your recent animations. I've already tried some of them and your attention to detail reminds me of Wesley and this is the highest praise I can give when it comes to anims
And as for the upcoming animations: Musetti would probably deserve an animation pack since he's been playing great recently and he's also a pretty spectacular player. Besides that I think you could do justice to Khachanov's forehand, it's a unique and entertaining shot. Aaand maybe Berrettini forehand and/or serve?
