should i add more animations ?

[Diablo1000]

hey guys,
i made this model for my defence of minas tirith project and now I'm wondering about how many animations a catapult needs. atm there are:
attack
walk
stand
death

do you think thats okay or should i add more ?
btw, thats the model:

if you like it and you are good at creating textures please try to help me with my request.
(sorry for my bad english)

Uh, i think attack, and maybe attack - 2 death, decay flesh, decay bone, stand, and death should be good.

 

[Diablo1000]

thank you for answering that fast
okay, but why 2 times attack animation ? it can only shoot, so it only needs 1 ani, don't you think ?
death [done]
decay flesh ? and bone ? i only have 1 decay animation in wich the models is sinking into the ground, what should the other decay animation do ?

 

[ikillforeyou]

it wont decay properly if there isn't a dummy Decay Bone, it can just be frame 0-1, nonlooping.

and maybe just to add variety to the attack have the catapult do different things like lean back on one and go faster on the other. Variety is good.

oh, okay i didn't know that. thanks
k, i'll add another attack animation today.

But you should make the material of the chain to Transparent

i set it to transparent in modeleditor, but i don't know how to show it in 3dsmax render.
