I would like to make a whip to submit it to the game devs as an animation, i am pretty good at that stuff

Honestly tho the whip anims arent that hard, and heres another idea if u havent already thought of it: make the weapon,armor,and magic models seperate from the character models completely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PROS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. better looking characters and armor.
2. More unique character looks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CONS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. takes more time to do.
2. possible armor glitches with characters glitching thru armor (unless you made specific armor for each race!
