jumpshot base / release

Also: jumpshot creator · custom jumpshot

The lower-body base and upper-body release animations that make up a custom jumpshot.

In MyPLAYER's jumpshot creator a jumpshot is assembled from a base (the lower-body motion and jump) and one or two release animations (upper body and hands), mixed with a blend slider.

Fast, straight releases produce the widest green windows. Slow bases, exaggerated wind-ups and hitchy animations produce narrow ones.
