Need an animator...

[Kwaliti]

Ok, I need someone to animate Cerberus I made, since I'm a complete sh*thead at animating:




Thanks in advance!

 

[HappyTauren]

hmmz...how about anim transfer, i could do it

 

[Kwaliti]

Thanks, uhh, which set of anims did you want to transfer? So I can see to either look further or take your offer?

 

[Kimbo]

I might if you let me look at the model.... atm its ice chunks and that brown thing may be...ewy in places.

 

[Kwaliti]

Yeah, sure, and the brown thing is like a leash (yup, an iron leash), but I still have to work on the UV map. Here are MDX and the MS3D if it means anything to ya.

 

[Kimbo]

Considering the model is made in fragments, there topology ..is basicly not there.. i cant animate..

you dont make legs and feet as separate things, they all should be the whole model.

 

[Kwaliti]

So.... I have to regroup them all?

 

[Kimbo]

no..you have to make them all welded with eachother.

 

[Kwaliti]

Wait, wait, you mean I have to weld the Ice chunks?

 

[Kimbo]

not the ice junks, the legs...everything...that is the model as in, the dog.

I mean.. your fingers and arms dont float around on us, they are actually joined, thats what you have to do with the body parts or it would be hell to animate and most likly give off poor results.

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmmm, last time I checked, the whole model was welded :S

In max animation you have to break it into pieces, but Milkshape is different I assume?

 

[Kwaliti]

Yes, you need to have everything welded, otherwise the anim will be jerky. My anims are soooo unreal, I even practiced like nuts and still I cent get them to work...

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Jerky animations have nothing to do with welding or not.

You assign vertices to bones. Even if the vertices are unwelded, they still exist on precisely the same spot, so when assigning, you'll select them all anyway.

Welding has absolutely nothing to do with animations whatsoever. It's about keeping the geometry solid.

 

[Kimbo]

God dammit, owned by the king himself.

nothing wrong with trying : D (even though it may be bad advice >.>)

 

[Kwaliti]

So.... will anyone help?

 

[HappyTauren]

snapping is as good as welding if both vertices are on same bone. Bleh
