Re: Third Person Weapons???
So to get this right: I have a starting animation, which has the first frame in t-pose. I use this starting animation as a way to get weapons onto my character in a way where its streamlined and I can spawn them onto the wrists. After that I am free to make new animations that return the character to a default gun stance… -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
If you aren't using IK in game, then you need to animate the reloading animation with your gun inside you animation software, and then export this to the game engine. Orient the gun rotation inside the game is engine specific and there is a lot of way to do this. The most common for objects that attach to character is… -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
You could just animate the arms going down off screen, and back up. Just switch out at the middle of the anim when the arms are hidden. -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
Frames does not play a role in here. You need to split animations for your character for lower body and upper body. So you can merge animations when you need to. -
Third Person Weapons???
Its really a simple question. How would you go about spawning weapons or objects onto a player during a animation. This really confusing me because what if its a pistol and it has its own mag and you have to take the mag out. Would you play both animation at the same time or is it a different pipeline? Any help I would… -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
My character starts out without a gun (its survival) but finds guns later in the game. I want to have the gun holstered first then taken out, which then leads to the reload and fire animations. I know you can do the firing in IK if you wanted to but what about the reload with the clip? The problem is that I don't know… -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
I am animating them both in engine for the reloads, I use the link constraints (for clip) and then I export them separately to the engine. I don't think this is the best technique though, if your willing to give me a better workflow that would be SO helpful. Or any links to better documentation and I am using 3ds Max 2016. -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
What's your animation workflow? Are you animating the character and the gun in the same scene or are you animating both separate and trying to align them in engine? -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
I think most games uses a retargeting system to make this work. So you have multiple animations and blend them together into one. So you can run at the same time reload a gun. The legs will be playing the running animation and your arms will do the reloading. Still, need a lot of animations. -
Re: Third Person Weapons???
Okay, thanks. So do I play both hand and gun reload animations?
