I gotta hand it to you Navek this is one amazing model. I'd even think it'd be a rip from the game if I didn't know any better.

Is the figure attached to the root via a bone? I'd suggest adding some bones in between the pelvis and the root bone. That way you can already add in the sequence some up and down motion during the cycles. More on the run. The walk cycle was pretty good.

Sorry. I've got one more leg of school before I can really dive into this full heartedly. (A pencil rendered background on three 16field animation paper is so huge that I'm gonna die ><) After my finals nextweek I'll jump straight onto this.

some do it down some forward.

When the palms face forward the skin on the forearm is relaxed. (It's the natural position with regards to the skin 'tension' for lack of a better term) However when you twist it to face down the skin twists. Try looking at your forearm and you'll see the twist.

I learned this on another forum where I asked for feedback on one of my models.

Thanks ^^

Another thing  I like about this is that it saves the keyframes on another layer so to speak for morph targets. So now when I need to do lipsynching, I can tweak both the facial expressions and movements of the body independently.

This is working marvelously for me so far.

Ok I've got one hiccup I need to fix and I don't know coding(in general nor ASL specific) to solve my problem. My fourth year highschool's C coding is the closest I got. And I barely remember it.

So for now I've rigged my eyes to morph and react to the placement of the target.

Morph Up
Morph Left

It works marvelously when I move the controller in that quadrant. However when I move it to the right and down it doesn't work since morph targets here go in a straight line.

Anyway to set the morph to zero for my Morph Up/Left and transfer it to Morph Down/Right? I've tried toying around with If statements but I'm not getting anywhere.

EDIT::

So I finally had time to do a quick animation with a simple facial rig (minus cheeks and follow through for ears,)

Result:



Feedback: This really quickens the time moving about morphtargets. It's amazing.

The one on the forehead is intentional... at least I forgot that it extends higher than I intended. As for the eye one, yes that should be next

That is pretty good. I like the animation and the texturing. Everything just fits.

Hmm quite a broad topic. Number one thousand...

Something to ponder on.
