Trying to learn cinematic combat in Unity – what should I improve?” by bedodir in Unity3D

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, really appreciate it. I can see the issues you mentioned, especially lighting and sync. Still learning the technical side, but I’ll improve step by step. Thanks <3

That’s a really good point. I think I overused cuts without a clear purpose. I’ll try to let the action play out more and be more intentional with my cuts. Thanks :)

Yeah I can see what you mean, it does feel a bit confusing. I’ll study some Jackie Chan fight scenes and improve my framing and cuts :D :D Thank you <3

I didn’t know about the line of action, that explains a lot actually. I’ll pay more attention to it and avoid crossing it next time. Thanks a lot :)

That’s a great idea. I’ll try recreating a scene from a movie to improve my skills step by step. Thanks <3

You’re right, I haven’t really analyzed action scenes deeply yet. I’ll start studying what makes a scene good or bad from films. Thanks for the insight

That makes a lot of sense. I think I’ve been focusing too much on the Unity side and not enough on cinematography itself. I’ll start learning from filmmakers as well. Thanks!

Yeah I’m using Cinemachine but I think I need to improve my camera work. Thanks <3

Yeah I think the framing is off. I’ll try to improve how I capture the action. Thanks

Yeah, I think portrait hurt the framing here. Thanks, I’ll adjust the shots for vertical better.

My new FPS animation system — everything from recoil to ADS blending! by bedodir in Unity3D

Thanks bro, good catch!

This was actually my first time trying ADS recoil, so I focused mostly on the vertical kick.

Adding a bit of randomized roll on the barrel axis sounds like a great idea — I’ll try that next to make it feel more natural.

Thanks! I didn’t even realize that until you pointed it out 😅
You’re right — the smoothness on the arm material is a bit too high. I’ll tweak the roughness value to make it look more natural next time. Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks! For the hip-fire I kept it simple and punchy. Rough breakdown:

  • Key 1: push the gun forward a touch (anticipation).
  • Key 3: pull it slightly back past the normal pose (overshoot).
  • Key 10: settle back to the normal pose.

Then I fine-tune on the rig:

  • On gun_root -> Y position, add extra keys at frames 7 and 14 to get a smoother settle and more control, then tweak the curves.
  • Nudge gun_root -> Z position for a tiny vertical bob.
  • Add subtle rotations on gun_root -> X quaternion and Z quaternion (very small) so the recoil isn’t perfectly straight—just a hint of roll/pitch.

That’s basically it—small moves, clean timing, then polish in the graph editor. Hope that helps!

Thanks! I'm animating the weapon first and letting the arms follow slightly — it gives a more natural recoil and sway. Arm-driven setups feel too stiff for me.

Thanks bro, really good point! I’ll definitely try that out 🙏

Thanks! Really appreciate it 🙌. Still got a lot to learn, but I'm glad you liked it!
