Only bit i don't like is that cylinder at the back of the model.
Animations are fantastic!

I guess this post falls under a "weapon" WIP since these are FP animations...

As some people know I've been fixing up the CMT elites for release as a playable biped (Jesse posted the HUD Masterz and I came up with). I recorded myself doing animations for the Rocker Launcher with the FP rig I made for the project, and Il Duce Primo said this would be the kind of thing that people here might like to see.

I hope these are useful to someone.

Wow! I am impressed! Very nice rig. I think someone could definitely learn a thing or two from just watching that vid. BTW what song was that in the first vid? lol (a little off topic here)

I bow before your skills.

My bad - I forgot to hit "publish" on the annotations. There's a link to the song at the start of each vid.

So this is what y'all have been doing. It's great to know you're finishing this stuff up. Don't forget the Brutes with the Banshee and the Wraith! ;D

Yeah so remember m00kz was making that Forerunner Gunblade?

Well he passed it on to me to decide its fate :P

So first thing I did was unwrap and texture it cause the "p lod" hilt was boring. Texture is based solely off my imagination since the only ref pic I had showed no distinct features on the texture.

Well it's a bit dark and the marathon symbol is kinda out of place.
Love the model.

I've uploaded another video of FP animating - this time the Flamethrower. Origins, idle, moving, ready, melee, grenade and posing are covered, and I plan on doing the reload by the end of the week.

Of course. The brutes will get retouched like everything else I'm going to be releasing (and already have been retouched to an extent, but that's for another discussion).

I like, perhaps use the H3 Elite FP and H3 Flamethrower?

Discovered the beauty of the Swivel Angle feature for IKs. Just messing around with it. I know the wrists are clipping, just practicing...

Based on the new Reload_Empty you can see from the Once More Unto The Breach vidoc on the monitor in the background, wonder if anyone else noticed it?

clip falls out too slowly given the force he seems to have used to push it out.

also its way too obvious you're putting in the same clip... its like he caught it and put it back in or something.

also, gunblade update:

Clip in is bothering me the more I look at it, too..

Nice posing animation, lol

so yeah m00kz imma like claim credit for it and stuff, kk?

go for it idc

also m00kz, u mad, why did your anims not have a moving or overlays??
Edited by doompig444 on Mar 24, 2010 at 03:53 AM

I sure do not understand that little middle finger movement.

Guitar Hero finger movements on the pistol grip.

because they suck and annoy me and are build for controllers and not mouse and keyboard

except for the moving. I was just lazy on that one, I'll admit
Edited by Marka Haiyana on Mar 24, 2010 at 10:57 AM

Then theres no fun in his cmt elite fp arms, now is it?

What the hell do you mean by this?

Overlays and moving are drastically important for a set of animations, they give the weapon an even more unique feel varying from animator to animator. They also just make it flow much better.

How could anyone like a gun that just sits there in the idle animation and doesn't move at all when they look or walk around?

M00KZ IS MAD

No don't get me wrong, overlays are fine, but Halo 1's overlay system is horrible for mouse/keyboard, they move way too slow.

then make the overlay movement further away from the origin. :p

Lol, perfect dark

m00kz if you port all the UT3 weapons to CE, I'll dress in an elite costume and dance for you.

No access to assets, I've thought about it before :[

My first origins. Crit?

lol left hand = barely gripping gun

origins look kk, might wanna show moar of the sights and mb move up just a tad

@m00kz: :( :( :(
Edited by doompig444 on Mar 24, 2010 at 11:59 PM

I agree with doom, move the origins a tad forward. Dunno about up though. Show more of the gun, but don't let it block your view.

Come to think of it, move it a bit leftish too. It's at a pretty extreme angle.
Edited by Marka Haiyana on Mar 25, 2010 at 02:04 AM

Yeah, i see that too, but I just can't get it right. Ive never really animated before.

It's probably to do more with how the gun is being held than how the origins are.
Edited by Dwood on Mar 25, 2010 at 02:34 PM

Angle the gun towards the right, and move the gun towards the left. Though in perspective view, the gun may not be pointed towards the center, it'll provide the illusion that it does in the first person origins.

It's too far to the right, move it up a tad, make the left hand grip it instead of just floating near it too.
