Overman

Post by gavlig »

Progress report: got him rigged, and about 80% skinned, now i have to skin another three "faces" and skinning is finished. I wonder when will i get bored to the degree when i force myself to write an automation script for that? I guess another model like this will do the trick.

What animations make use of the eyeball so far? I think it should only be used by the death and maybe the spawn animation so that we can have it track stuff without interference in between.

I think I want to make the eye go red and stare at the target it attacks. And at a granger that marks it. :grin:

Please don't move the eye during idle. I want it to focus/track stuff (firendly buildables and units, enemies) during idle and that only works if it points in the same driection (relative to the world (!), ideally along one of the axis). If theres nothing to look at, I could create movement similiar to yours procedurally. I'm not sure about the attack anim: When the eye goes up like this, this would be added on top of any focus/track in progress. I'm not sure if this looks good or not.

Apart from that, I love the animations! :smile:

That's an old video, there is no eye movement on idle animation actually. About attack animation: well, if that doesn't work, i'll make another one. But that basically means i can't move its' "head" at all and it makes me a sad panda

Hey gavlig, the export is weird. Could you re-export it? I converted the OBJ directly and it appears fine. I also tried to re-export myself but that produced the same export.
