for what it's worth those animations are a good starting point, but I think it's pretty obvious you're not using IK controllers for those movements, considering how jittery the body motion is by comparison.

I would also maybe suggest using some sort of reference point for where the feet are supposed to move to, considering they don't seem to flatten out when hitting the ground. Try adding a flat plane that's about 2x bigger than your character and freezing it.

Video tut?

Dude. Open animation tab. IK controller is right there. Select foot, select shoulder, done.

And if you don't know how to create and freeze a plane, god help you.

After, duh, everyone knows that.

For IK, same principles apply to legs.

As for the second part

Rotating nodes is FK(forward kinematics) the whole point of IK(inverse kinematics) is to have the nodes automatically based off of a given point, the IK controller. That blue cross thing that appears is your controller, and it has a blue line to your "shoulder" joint. The "hand/foot" location is positioned by rotating the "knee/elbow" node and the "sjoulder/knee" node.

tl;dr, don't move the nodes just the IK controller, the hierarchy will position itself accordingly.

Yes yes! Tell us all your plans and keep nothing sacred for ce3 2kfinal16.

Finished

Next flood to release:

Collision material: red = to much damage green = normal damage blue = less damage

halo ce.

Hate to burst your bubble but that is not going into ce.

Flood stalker gameplay:

Getting there though the walking doesn't feel as solid as I would like.

It would also be cool if limbs were able to be shot off.

Been a while since I looked around on here. Thought I'd show a Forerunner texture I put together a week or two ago. Tried to have some new (Halo 4 and up) and old (Halo 1-3) inspiration in it. Probably could shrink it down a bit to get it game ready.

Good god what is this you have made?!

I think it desperately, desperately needs to be played.

Its nice to see you back by the way, I hope to see more please don't delay.

Looks great Sam!

Very nice.

, I saw and I conquered all. But now I've been left with naught but regret.

Perhaps I'll create a dedi server will see, and when I do it shall be filled with glee.

That looks awesome Sam, texture pack maybe? Lmao

Hahaha as fun as that would be it isn't in the cards at the moment D:

I'll have to check and see how well I could make it look as a non-pbr texture. Though I imagine it won't be nearly as pretty haha.

PBR is mostly easy to convert to DSN so long as the textures aren't reliant on ingame rendering generators.

ALBEDO = DIFFUSE

METALNESS = SPEC

ROUGHNESS = GLOSS

I'd imagine good BSP shaders and OS DLMs would restore a tiny bit of the quality.

hmmm. . . . FilterForge.
FilterForge radial mirroring.
Edited by OrangeJuice on Mar 28, 2016 at 02:30 PM



....looks like every techno-themed FilterForge texture, probably because it is radially mirrored
Edited by OrangeJuice on Mar 28, 2016 at 02:39 PM
Am biased because I visit filterforge alot. It probably looks fine, I just can't seem to like it because the filterforge gallery is literally spam-incarnate with mirrored textures. sorryyy >_<

Edited by OrangeJuice on Mar 28, 2016 at 03:54 PM

Krita work is what I'd like to see next, and orange juice I think you'd fit that role as though blessed.
Edited by Super Flanker on Mar 28, 2016 at 03:34 PM

Resolution on that texture?

4096^2, just because it's just as easy to work at that resolution as anything else in Substance.

And I've never heard of filter forge before today.

The reason I did the radial mirror was because I was looking at one of Dan0's old textures (see below) and that got me started on being inspired to do the project.

Ah personally I'm a fan of imvaderveex, his texture work is very sweet!

Flying form (unfinished):

Yo, how's Substance working out for you? Was thinking of going for their SubstanceLive subscription, but I'm curious to hear what Substance Painter is like to work in.

I like it quite a bit. I've got more experience in Substance Designer but Painter is great too. My first jaunt I modeled, uv'd, and textured this rock all in the course of about 4 hours: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v9Xo6


It's really fast! I need to learn how to use it better though honestly, but that gives you a sense of the kind of results you can get with it really quick!

Awesome, that looks fantastic. I really need to get back into the loop of doing 3D work, and I've never particularly enjoyed Photoshop for texture stuff - saw it a few months ago and it looked like exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks! :)

Which is the problem with those sort of realtime paint apps.

Substance, quixel suite.

E.T.C.

A quick an easy way to get a texture on your model but it leaves a pretty generic result.

Mari seems to be the only exception to this. Which is why it is my favourite realtime texture app. Its quick and easy but your takeaway feels a lot more unique.

Mari costs over $2,000. Also, there's no real qualitative reason why you couldn't achieve similar results with Substance or Quixel, as you're essentially authoring everything yourself. I Mean yeah, if you just use Substance's preset shaders of course it's going to look generic, but that's not really the fault of the app.
