I do agree that the rule for model submissions should be changed to allow for heavy animation edits too regardless of model changes.
That being said, the standards should be quite high for this to work. Adding one or two custom animations should not be enough for a submission. Replacing all animations or adding a substantial amount could be acceptable.
As someone who does both modelling and animating I agree that both things need a big amount of expertise to be good. Animating is just as demanding as modelling on its own - especially if the model has a complex geometry or fancy details like cloth, hair, etc.
Lets remember that there are things like the 255 anim villager model.
If you want to start a petition to change the model submission rules to allow for animation edits, i suggest you contact the Hive staff about this. You'd definitely get my support.
I'm not sure how we should define "substantial amount" (and whether that means animating-from-scratch or modifying-existing-animations (i.e. "geomerginganimating" : P)), but I'm likely to want the bar set relatively low (at least to start), to encourage people to try it out.
That or a separate resource repository/tag for such things "(minor animation edit)". Something like "Substandard" but with a better name. : |
This basically says what I want to say. Context here, original thread.
So yea, this could use a discussion to define the exact rules (or the inexactness, depending on how flexible the rules should be).
As well as an approval.
