YouGroove Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Future contribution as i have time : Character animated for Leadwerks prototyping. Basic rigging done. Animation and upload will come later. ------------ The polycount is low on foots, torso etc ... as this character is more suited to be equiped with boots armor etc ... It will be a customizable one if we can say (i'll try to make basic interesting gears and some basic solid hear) I'm not good for animations but i'll do ones : basic : -idle -walk -run -crouch idle -crouch walk -jump -fall vertical -plane (like using wings) -dead Adventure : - climb mid obstacle - climb hight obstacle - climb wall - swim -------------- It seems we can "mix" animations" by code like Torso = gun handling + legs = Walk or Torso = knife handling + legs = Walk If so, i'll add combat anims : - knife attack - knife parade - gun shoot - gun reload - gun walk/run simple subtle anim 1 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm hoping to use your other model tonight in a tutorial to show how to do split animations. We can also rotate bones in code which can give us leaning effects or aid in making split animations better by leaning the spine forward some when running for example if we are doing split animations. The jump over mid/high objects is a sweet addition. I love games that do this. It looks so cool and I would love to try this in code because the way I picture it, the model itself doesn't move forward when doing the animation. It stays still, but in code we would have to disable/hide the controller and manually move the model forward to the other side over the right amount of time and once on the other side, enable the controller again. Sounds like a fun challenge to get the timing right but it looks amazing when you have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Great for animations mixing tutorial. About climbing, i thaught , just climb it , not jump over. But we can try a jump over obstacles, perhaps some raycast to determine the lenght of obstacle to compare with character maximum lentgh jump. Some way used by some made games , is simplification of detection with objects tagged as "Jumpable" in your level. ---------------------- Other stuff that is lacking : for another time i think, it will be for LE3 coders. Character legs and foot auto placed , oriented on floor : Actually tested on terrain in LE3 with a next gen character, for some FPS game without that it looks strange. http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC3/Ground+Alignment http://www.codercorner.com/IK.htm Well let's forget that Ik system for another time, not all games need that, specially top down RPG 1 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 But we can try a jump over obstacles, perhaps some raycast to determine the lenght of obstacle to compare with character maximum lentgh jump. I think the "easy" approach to this is having the things you can jump over basically be around the same size. You are right about the "jumpable" flag. This could be done a couple ways and a trigger could be one of them. Place a trigger right next to the thing that is jumpable. if the player is inside this trigger and they press the jump button and forward button, then we do the jump over animation and logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeAwesome Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 wow guys animation tutorials would be awesome! I will upload a rigged FUSE character soon for testing Quote It doesn´t work... why? mhmmm It works... why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Could you make another thread about your character please ? I want to keep all info in one thread, and not mix all. 1 Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
