Magical Shield attachment(buff)

[Xonok]

I'm making a mana shield ability that only protects from front.
Thus, the usual model doesn't make any sense.

What the requested one should look like:
Some arcane-ish color(blue?)
Has a birth animation, where it starts generating from the middle and grows into full size.
Has a stand animation, where it isn't completely static, but doesn't need to do much either.
Has a death animation where it fades away.
The death and birth animations should be fairly short.

Bonus:
An additional death animation where it is shattered into pieces and then fades away.
An animation for when a hit is taken(or maybe a separate effect model that just fits on top of it?)

You could use a dummy unit and place it in front if nobody responds.


EDIT: I decided to give it a go for you, I know it isn't the best... hopefully it works for you though, and if not then maybe someone will do it better. =)

I am not an animator so I couldn't add the exact animations you wanted, could only edit what was there.

I'm glad that you tried, but this still has the problem that it's all around the caster.

I am sorry, I can't figure out how to move the nodes to where the geosets are. Hopefully someone else can help you, I don't have enough knowledge to be able to do it. Still my first idea would work technically.

True, it would, but it's not a very good way, as it takes a periodic trigger. An attachment would simply be tons of times better.
