Thread: Chef Cooking Animation!?
While we were in San Diego for the motion capture shoot, we captured some image designing animations- so you'll actually look like you're doing something when you're fixing someone up. Kinda silly but I really like it- and we captured similar animations for tailors, chefs, droid engineers, and other professions.
Posted by Ood_Bnar (Art Director)as part of an Image Designer update.. I guess it's something at least, now where are the chef hats??? 
thats nice , now lets hope its not the UO type of drinking where the hand just went thru the motions with any item in there hand ... kind of like when you stuck the haliberd down your mouth or drank your shield..
Actually, it sounds like Ood_Bnar was talking about animations for crafters that are shown while they are in a crafting session.
The drinking animation (and possibly eating) are already in the engine. If you go to some of the cantinas on Tatooine, there are NPCs standing around with drinks in their hands, which they occasionally sip. IIRC, it was Espa and/or Eisly (the ones with the NPC bartenders).
