{CCP}VI Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 animation tutorial for which program? i use blender and there are many tutorials for it. its quite easy; only problem is that it does not work properly . have worked on animations for a while and there was only 1 successful test yet(though it was just a little 3-bone animation). im not sure whats wrong but sometimes the mesh gets screwed up or works only partially. at least the editor accepts the psa/psk files. btw, seems like the psa-files i've created make no troubles with udk, so maybe there is something wrong with the importer of the editor.

Delta RC-2235 "Cyro" Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 well...ccp? could you make some non-weapon anims? (2-3) in rc there are weapon anims only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Mercenary Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 CCP - I was refering to Blender, but if you know of an animation program that works I'd be glad to hear of it! And Cyro, there is the helmet and flag animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michonicle Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 So Mando Merc, how goes your skins? And have you been trying blender? I tried animating an already rigged character, and it was hard and confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta RC-2235 "Cyro" Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Mandalorian Mercenary, i mean the non weapon anims for the NCPs! not the hud arms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Mercenary Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 No, I haven't checked it out yet. What were you trying to animate? @Cyro -Ahhh. Yeah, you have a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michonicle Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Me? I was trying to animate a clone trooper I found online after hours of hunting. Its just confusing with all the numbers and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{CCP}VI Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 well, there are a couple of other programs you could use. xsi, maya, 3ds-studiomax for example. if you don't like blender i'd try xsi, because its free.(at least there is a free version and i'm not sure but i think you can also make animations with it. and there should be an actorx-exporter.) have tested it once and it's quite easy. blender is more irritating at the beginning. maya and 3ds max are great programs but really expensive. normally it should also work with blender. you can either download a script for a psk/psa-exporter here or you can download blender 2.5 or higher which should contain the exporter. shows you how to make an easy blender animation and how to import it into udk. we're not working with udk but importing is quite easy and does not need a tutorial. just open the animationbrowser and go to file>import mesh/import animation. hope that helped.

Delta RC-2235 "Cyro" Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 not really, buddy! i don't really need 3-bone-anims! (maybe for a snake! ) i only would need some animations for clone troopers, like if a clone stands arround without a weapon or if a clone with weapon gets hit at his shoulder!

{CCP}VI Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 sure, you can add that way more than 3 bones and you can take a more complicated mesh. that tutorial explains how it works in general. animations for a clone would be the same. well, its way harder and you would have to regard boneweighting and so on but theoretically its the same.

Delta RC-2235 "Cyro" Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 ----> off! sorry but...another question: could someone here post the original battledroid skin for me? my unreal ed has a malfunction (bump-map error! he can't show some textures!) so he can't show some textures! (like the battle droid!) that would be great! thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
