Posts: 107 		I've seen a whole caboodle of new features appearing in the character animations recently - all of them excellent! However, one thing I still can't find is a sensible way to have somebody 'jump' (or hop or leap) from one ledge to another.

In my case, I have a young lady who is sat down and I want to hop down to the ground, but just walking forward looks wrong. It would be great if there were such a function, so someone could jump to the ground, jump down from a seated position to the ground or hop along from tree to tree - the mighty lark, the- no, sorry, getting carried away.

Is there a function I've missed please?

Hi hugmsyter,

We don't have (yet) a jump animation that allows a character to jump from ledge to ledge.
The only thing that comes to mind is to use a "Explosion Death 1" animation and use a camera cut to make it more feasible. You can find that character action on Themes - Military.

It is very hard for us to create animations to suit everyone's needs, but we read the forums and write down your suggestions. So don't be surprised if you see a jump animation in the future versions.

There are features that sometimes can be used in different ways, like creating a waterfall based on the snow effects

I hope this helps you a bit.

Cheers,
Marco
