vehicle CUSTOM SKEL NPC: AT-ST

[eezstreet]

The naming is irrelevant. Name it whatever you want.

Walk sound is animevents.cfg related.

[minilogoguy18]

The base sound is the last thing I'm worried about, I have a sound editor, I can make it work, I just wanted animations that actually look good and a model that is accurate.

[AshuraDX]

much better allready !

I'll jump into Battlefront 2 and take a look at that walk cycle aswell as the tfu ones, will return with videos If I find anything that could improve your animation

[Tempust85]

I strongly suggest using the Noesis route to create your GLA so there's no jitter like the base AT-ST. Refer to my tutorial.

[minilogoguy18]

I'll try, just so used to doing it the carcass way which is kinda why I want that source to be out already, I'm old and stuck in my ways. =p

[Tempust85]

It's not that different really.

[AshuraDX]

I really cant figure out what it is that I dislike about that walk cycle, probably you let him lift his feet too high up but I really have no clue what it is

[Omicron]

The foot doesn't seem to 'push off' the ground, or certainly tilt very much, the leg looks like it just lifts off.

[minilogoguy18]

@@AshuraDX I did pick the feet up more because before I felt like they were dragging on the ground, I can reduce it some but I just watched it and the feet really don't pick up that high. If you only had Mod Tool installed I could just give you the scene and let you watch the animation loop over and over from all angles like I pretty much have been doing.

 

@@Omicron Not sure what you mean exactly, do you mean the foot rolling up on it's toes? It can be hard to judge just how much the feet push away from the ground since it's walking in place and not traversing forward. What I could do though is delay the foot roll some so that the foot stays flat longer.

[Omicron]

@@minilogoguy18 Yeah, the foot rolling up the toes. It just seems to lift off the ground while staying relatively flat

[AshuraDX]

@@minilogoguy18 I have Crosswalk installed, if that helps - it should allow me to import your Softimage scene to max

[minilogoguy18]

 

I think this should be the final walk cycle.

[Tempust85]

Apart from my suggestion which I've shown you, I think it looks fine.

 

Time to move on I think.

[AshuraDX]

I got recordings from the the force unleashed and battlefront 2 death/destroyed animations, want them ?

[minilogoguy18]

Yeah sure, wouldn't hurt to see some variety.

there you go

[eezstreet]

See if you can add in multiple death animations. I'd like the extra variety. (I can code them in)

[Barricade24]

I'd love more than one death animation. I know the AT-AT model has it. But it seems that only one of them actually works in game.

[Tempust85]

I just noticed. The only crit I hance for the model itself is the big round things on the sides of the head where the cannons come out, they are too low poly for such a large object. Most likely too late though lol,

[minilogoguy18]

Could you circle out which parts you mean? Because there is the base and a plate that is intentionally made to be a octagon.

 

I was definitely leaning towards a death of falling over on it's side.

[Tempust85]

I've put a red oval over the area, but I don't mean the area inside the oval:

It can be increased without affecting anything if you really feel it needs to be, you should take another look at the model in sketchfab rather than the XSI viewport, link is in the first post.

Need some violent death explosions

It matches the quality of the rest of the model, I think I'm just being picky.

[minilogoguy18]

Back to work on this, got the main parts of the death animation blocked out, just need to add the motions that make it look real and as if the model is affected by gravity.
