Just a progress update. I added some animations to the Knight, my new standard test character. They still need some tweaking; hoping I can recruit an animator (novice or seasoned, doesn't matter, help is appreciated), but we'll get one eventually.
The first video is the First Person view, the main focus. As you can see, some of the swing-attack animations aren't clean/visible, but it's there.

Next up is the Third Person view, which is a secondary focus, but looks a little bit cleaner:

That's all for now. I'm undecided if I want to continue cleaning up animations or just move on to other gameplay elements, but that's where we are now.
P.S. if anyone's interested in joining/learning how to do animations WITHIN THE EDITOR, I'd be happy to teach - but I don't know my way around other software like Blender/Maya/3dsMax.
