Just cannot wrap my head around what exactly, but you the Kingdom's pieces look just plain weird when they dodge.

i know what you mean by that, heh. But, that description doesn't really help.

Try narrowing it down a bit. Is it not fluid? is a bone joint just... not right? too quick, too slow? Too bendy? Not bendy enough?

I once helped someone figure out why it was off by having them clone the movement with their own body. Nothing came of it after that, but at least they know why it felt weird.

I'm afraid it is a little wonky, but the usual happened: time vs importance/priority :)

Well it's hard to tell, all I know is most of the Beast Races seems ok, including the kingdom bishop and Queen to some degree, the beast races have oddly shaped legs so it kinda fits them and the bishop has a tunic.

But when it comes to the Pawn, Rook and Knight it seems off. I've tried looking at the animation in the editor, and I think it has something to do with the leg distance, and position at the landing.
Their torso seems to be in a kind of backwards position almost have they are a bout to land on their ass.

Btw would it possible to mod these animations ourselves? One of my complaints of UT3 was that there was no animation mods, never got why?
