Your anims are awesome, Sam!!! But I think that Garin's serve maybe can improve a little bit. I feel his service waiting weird. If you can make the serve like in the begin of video, would awesome!!! Btw, infinite thanks for all your anims , especially with Garin, he is my favourite player and I followed all his career for my job like tennis journalist in Chile



Sam, you plan on doing the Evans and Coric's serve?

Glad to hear this! For Garin, I did use a similar shot to model his servicewaiting, but unfortunately it's not possible to start it directly like this video due to how the game reads service waiting. To make it simple, the service waiting anim has to start the same way that his actual serve starts, maybe that's why you find it weird? and I can't change that. Is your issue with the way he starts the anim or the way he bounces the ball? Either way I dont think I can do much.

Coric, yes at some point I will For Evans, yes I might in the future but not a priority for now since it's quite similar to Wesley's Tsitsipas serve.

I mean his waiting service looks weird because his legs are bent. His legs are straighter when his bounce the ball, like Rharm did.

Are you kidding me??? It's your first backhand in TE2013 and you made a work of art!!! I don't words for this wonderful, beautiful and perfect backhand!!! GENIUS, MASTER I love it, it's like watching Garin on TV

Please Sam, consider making his slice backhand. Now he is using it more, as he did at Roland Garros (against McDonald and Medvedev). And return stance S o we would already have a full pack, like made Lucian with his anims.

Aaah, and now service waiting it's fine, but I think it can improve the preparation a little bit. It's just a detail: the preparation in this service is shorter and faster. And I see a cut when it passes racket underneath. Maybe it can be more fluid like in your other serves (Ruud, Carreno Busta, Humbert).

Continue with your incredible work, buddy and you have to feel proud, you are the soul of TE2013 with your many contributions. I admire you a lot

Sam, you are such a magician..!!!

Thanks, buddy.

By the way, Ruud's forehands both normal + acc. are definitely great works!

I do agree with you.

This is a very nice message thank you very much suvurvius for the super kind words Im glad I got the "suvurvius stamp of approval" for Garin I try to give a "signature feel" to every anim I make to make it seem very recognizable so Im really glad that it worked for him.

Regarding the slice, maybe later but it isn't a priority. I want to make the best players main anims, and his backhand is one of the best on tour so I made that one, usually I won't even make the backhands in priority since backhands usually are much more "generic" than forehands/serves. His backhand is also very unique which is another reason I made it

And for the serve, hmm not totally sure I agree honestly. His serve motion in real life is not "fluid" itself and has some sudden "mechanical" movements, which is what I tried to do. I also worked a lot on the speed of his motion to make it like real life so I don't think I will edit it further now.

You can see his serve here at 1:14 and compare with my anim, the preparation and whole motion speed is quite similar already I think

Where do you see a "cut where the racket passes underneath"?

Once again big thanks for the kind words!

Sam, you are such a magician..!!!

Thanks, buddy.

By the way, Ruud's forehands both normal + acc. are definitely great works!

Thanks a lot cheonbw and I'm glad you're enjoying the anims!
