..That shit is epic! looks like you could easily make smooth procedural animations with just a few basic steps.
Wonderful. Thats game design with passion!
HT|: well thats not procedural cause I do it by hand (and by legs:), but the interpolation is procedural of course.
That’s what I mean, all you need is to set a few points for the animation to follow (like a rough sketch) and then let the computer fill in the gaps ๐
then it’s just a matter of refining it. amirite?
Awesome! ๐
it’s truly awesome.
good decision, i make the same stuff for my animations but fbf, no tweens. http://newsimg.ngfiles.com/56000/56594_int3workprogres.JPG
Wow, the running animation now seems really, really nice! MM, Will you do rotoscoping for other animations too, like climbing stairs?
May I ask what rotoscoping is?
This looks great!!
However, please make at least one good looking soldier for the first release. Except for those drawings years ago there hasn’t been one single good looking sprite.
Is that an airsoft gun?
i would still suggest having more frames in between, and a bit smoother example/animation ( dunno if the framerate drops that low in the video )
i would like to see a better example of your system. I know it works, i can see it , but the quality just sucks xD BTW did u mess up the Left/Right leg sequencing ? it kinda seemed like he was hopping…
Yup. The video and the animation need more frames, although the whole method is great!
OH man, MM, I forgot about this neat approach from a long time ago. It’s been a while I’ve posted, but glad to see some epic dev. tools you’ve been building!
The animation is super smooth, it’s just that the video has low framerate and its at double speed. I’ll post a better quality video soon.
I woner if you ever get arrested for recording those animations.
