Added turn left and right animations.
Also added an optional simple version of the idle as some would rather not rest the Greatsword's point on the ground.
Tweaked the jump animations for both the vanilla behavior and NickNak's 2023-01-11 21:03:13 +0000 UTC

Hope you guys had a lovely Christmas!
I'm currently working on a Greatsword low stance inspired by the Alber/Fool's guard, which I chose for the variety of attacks it can swiftly transition into and how quick it can be shifted into a blocking stance.

As the upcoming Greatsword low stance will feature an aggressive poise and locked on target locomotion, which won't be ideal while the character is out of combat/exploring with the weapon drawn, I decided to make this much more relaxed set, designed for exploration, to bridge the gap between sheathed movement and the aggressive low stance (and a...

Reimagination and complete remake of my very first Skyrim animation (about 2 years ago), the Leviathan female walk that was made when I couldn't find one that's well suited for heavily armored female characters, thus starting this whole modding journey.
Any feedback is appreciated!

After so much experimenting, trial and error and a few sleepless nights, I'm excited to finally bring you these 7 new killmove animations to completely replace Skyrim's humanoid Greatsword killmoves, huge thanks to Kars for making this much more fun and streamlined to work on by making and sharing the first ever working paired Blender rig.

After about two weeks of extensive experimenting with paired animations, and thanks Kars, who successfully made the first ever working Blender paired rig for Skyrim, it is now very much possible for me to make brand new Killmoves and sneak finishers to either fully replace their Vanilla counterparts, or simply add to them via DAR conditions.

Multiple tweaks and adjustments to the female and male walk and run animations, this version is comprised of one cycle for each animation as some users experienced a few issues with the multi cycle ones (v1.1-), such as issues blending with walks or runs from other mods, duplicate heel sounds or periodic jitters/snaps after 10+ seconds of runnin...
