Global Animations - A Short Walktrough

[TheWhiteWolf]

Hey, I need to make a ghost model, and I would like to make his body randomly twitch during animations. With an accent on RANDOMLY. I guess I should use global anims for this, but... Could anyone give me a short waktrough on this?

I am using MDLvis and Magos' for modeling, WC3 Viewer and PAINT.net for textures.

Forgive my lack of understanding in English, but what do you mean by twitching?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Twitching is rapid, or at least quick movement of a body part. Kinda like shaking, only faster and stronger.

In this case, it would just be short-ranged lateral movement of random parts of the mesh.

You can not make is absolutely random.

In the first place create separate bones for each tweaking limb. Carefuly connect them to proper existing bones. Then create a global animation and make them shake.

Simple as that. But be careful, bones used in global animations should not move in general animations. The ones they are connected to can move though.

Just to see if I got it right:

I have a model with normal bones (regular bone 'skeleton' composition), and I add more bones. New bones move in global animations, old bones move in normal animations, right?

They do not move on their own, you are supposed to move them yourself

Correct.
