    Not sure if thats an easy effect or not. but it certainly is an visually pleasing effect, and application of it.
    Also see you have been really good, at looking over your scenes, and placing terrain in most scenes to remove the uncanny vally of animating on a flat surface. There was only one particularly glaring “set” in the whole animation. Over all glad to see you improving by leeps and bounds and not just feeling trapped making lore videos for a demanding public!

    Mechwarrior walkers aren't VR controlled like Heavy Gear mechs. The cockpit of Mechwarrior mechs are more like aircraft cockpits having MFDs and the pilot controls mechs movement via 2x joysticks for hands, torso/waist and legs while pedals for forward and reverse. This means the over 90 tonnes marauder can't flip hands to the back. Timberwolf (Aka Madcat), Nova, Vulture/Mad Dog can't do that neither because of limited movement with dual joysticks. Walker mechs can't melee other than ramming enemy mechs.
    More humanoid Summoner/Thor probably could with VR controlled having more freewill for hands and legs movement as seen in Mechwarrior 2 intro.
    Elemental is more of heavily armored exosuits therefore it could do just anything the pilot's limbs could do.

    Proper Inner Spere engagement range of point blank?

    Also check.
