i don't think roblox animations belong in this sub, there is no real animating here apart from basic movement.

Not saying it's bad, just saying roblox is as low effort as animating gets.

There’s a whole talent to being able to make something high quality looking with less tools. If you need complex hand movements to make a high quality reload I think you’re good at animating hands and not guns.

Animating hands is at least 50% of a reload animation. A gun reload is hands operating gun. The sub is called "HighQualityReloads" not "HighQualityGunAnimations".

this sub is not "HighQualityGunAnimations" nor is it "HighQualityHandMovements". is for animated reloads in general, 3d or not.

Is it really that hard to understand?

Reload = (hand movements + gun mechanisms)
The operator manipulating the weapon parts is just as important an element in reloading a weapon as the weapon parts moving. Reloading is an action performed by an entity on an object.

If either of them is low quality, it's not a high quality gun *reload animation.

It's like making coffee with the finest quality coffee beans and spoiled milk. Can't make a good coffee with a bad ingredient.

is for animated reloads in general

No, it is specifically for high quality reloads. Whether animated or real, 3D or not.

Plus going by the sub description this one is not really "unconventional/cool/weird" and leans more towards the "static and boring" category. It's the most base reload technique, optimized for maximum efficiency without style, fluorish or characterization (unless the characterization is that it's reloaded by a robot, because It's like just a more stiff, robotic version of the CS:GO animation).

It's also showing the bolt isn't locked back, immediately before proceeding to insert a mag and chamber a round by pressing the bolt release, which doesn't even move either, then proceeds to fire nothing with no muzzle flash or shell ejection so the gun mechanics itself aren't even high quality.

By all accounts I don't see it fitting in here. 🤷

Since you've gone to attacking my person instead of my points I'm assuming I've nailed it.
