Madjai Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 i told my friend his wings are removable and he "thought" his legs were too, so he tried pulling one of them off, and thats the story of the missing leg =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybiggspr Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Hey Madjai, I have the same mouse pad! As if you care. LOL Nice model. BTW i would try to make him only flap his wings when he jumps. If its even possible at all that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thMonkey Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Making him flap his wings when he jumps is a great idea. I only hope that the animation can actually be achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 id rather he be floating, but that is a good idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t3rr0r Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 about floating, is there any way to have the legs stay stationary (or minimal movement) so it doesn't look like he's running in the air? i love how the model is turning out, btw.

I think it was suggested at some point that he could weight the bones in such a way that the legs didn't move (so he doesn't "run" in mid air).

hansmoleman Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 t3rr0r i believe it is quite possible to make the legs stationary, you just weight them to the pelvis or one of the torso bones, so their movements will match the bodys. however i have one question, should the legs be their own objects (name being l_leg,..etc) or should they be "attachments" to the torso (name being torso_l_leg,..etc)? Im guessing it would be the second one but im not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansmoleman Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 ok i got 2 more questions: should when i will wieght wattos bones i will naturally weigh his chest to the chest bones, but should i weight his belly, and lower half of his body to the pelvis bones or should i also put them on the chest bones? im thinking chest bones since with him being so short it would look funny if just half his body turned when looking and strafeing. this question is to madjai, i asume for your maw model since you had no legs or feet you had to make stand ins. how did you go about making them and their caps and all? i hope you guys can help me with this, its rather important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it by weighting the lower half to his pelvis bones and seeing how it looks in-game. If it looks too funny, just weight them to his chest and see how that looks. Then go with whatever one looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 the only reason you would make his legs attachments to his body is if you dont want people to be able to chop his legs off. when youre first starting off, i stronly suggest you weight everything part of his body to a single bone, so you can test and see if assimilate lets him work and there arent any problems ingame. ex. weight all of his r_hand to the r_hand bone, all of his torso to the pelvis, etc etc. then when everything works, delete the old weights and begin weighting him for real. for the question about the chest weighting, just try one way, and if it doesnt look right, try another. for the legs and cap question, i make single polygon legs for Maw and make them transparent with a .surf file. so all the tags for the legs still went where they were supposed to. so again, if you make his legs part of his torso they will not be chopable and therefore have no caps.

adillon Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 hansmoleman, very impressed with your model so far. hopefully you can get the shader to work on the wings ... give watto a more 'authentic' feel. and maybe for a little more variety you could do another skin to include with the model. who would this skin be of you ask? none other than rozatta. aww, come on, you don't know who she is, do you? CLICK ON THE 'SELECT A CHARACTER' BUTTON, THEN ON ROZATTA (top right) just a suggestion ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansmoleman Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 Jedi_anakin_s, madjai thx for the help, its always greatly appreciated adillon: it looks simple enough to make the skin, i will ATTEMPT it if i have time after im done with Watto.
