Hello lads and lasses, I would like to pick your brains over the practical (in max) side to my dissertation. What I'm trying to achieve is have a fully-rigged octopus character for use within UDK as a playable character. Now, worry not, most of the model (finished wireframe shots below) should be fairly straight-forward to…
I have a chainsaw model that got the body with the handle and blade. The blade got it's own duplicated series of blades that go around the chain using motion path, snapshot, IK spline handle offset. I got the chain blade working but I need a body joint rig to allow it to work inside of Unreal Engine 4 both 3rd person and…
Hows this, twist bone parented to hand with IK chain setup to forearm bone. Copy rotation getting local Y value from hand at 0.5 and hand and twist bone set to Euler YXZ to evaluate Y first https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1693140/Arm_multi_bone.blend (Initial rig/model is not mine, found it on blend swap or a forum…
[ QUOTE ] I'm doing some animations recently and run into Bones doing unpredictable flips and rotations. For example the right arm starts at relaxed position at the side of the body, reaches up and touches the left ear. Then return to original position. There are no IK solvers, strictly FK. Standard arm structure with…
Thanks for the reply,guys.I am not actually doing it for a game.It is for an animation sequence heavy with fight scenes and the girl is gonna be darting around doing flips and wielding swords about,including summons and she has long hair and a cape. Imagine how heavy it will be to run simulation for these animation…
I'm no animator, or really very good at rigging (I guess) but the way I've done this in the past (in 3dsmax) is this: Dummy/Point helper just above the clavicle, as the "root" for the strap. Dummy/Point helper for the bag. Then a Spline-IK setup with 3 or 4 control points (depends how much control you want) down the front…
Introduction In response to this thread: [url="https://"]Rigging in Maya: Recursive Constraints and FBIK[/url] I've written up some of my notes from my Maya rigging class to see if they help anyone. Instead of waiting to post them all at once I'll post them as I write them up. I'm also going to ask my professor if posting…
This is a really annoying issue I always seem to run into when importing FBX animations from Blender into Unity since there is usually a bit of a time gap in-between so I decided to write a post in order to remember how I solve it. (I need to start utilizing Export Presets...) The issue is jittery animations when using IK…
THE GAME: Ike's Axe (Temporary Title) A cute, cartoon-y platformer for the more casual player. Shorter stages but with multiple paths to follow and numerous collectibles. Challenging boss fights! Currently has almost 30 playable stages. (18 of which may be seen in the demo) A demo of the game can be found here:…
Quickly scrolled through most of the pages but I couldnt find an anwser. So I am importing an animation. I open my Mesh, Find Skeleton and Add Animation. Those all work nice and dandy. I can see my Mesh, I can see my Skeleton and I can see my Animation from the drop down and watch the Skeleton play the animation. The…
