I'm forwarding a question that I received from one of my machinima-making friends. I'm not too sure on the answer so I figured I'd throw it out to y'all and see what comes back.
"The $makegesture command can disable all lower body motion in an animation. Do you know of any way to disable left or right arm motion on top of that? Basically my goal here is to take the motion capture data so that it only affects one arm and maybe the torso. Right now some of the custom animations look a little awkward because the character will freeze one arm while walking. It's not a dealbreaker, but if there's a way to solve it, that would be great. I imagine the answer is somewhere in the gesturemacros.qci file, but honestly that stuff is Greek to me. I asked Ryan about it and he seemed to think it's possible, but had no idea how to go about it. My hope is it's a line or two I can find somewhere in the .qc file to ignore arm motion when compiling the gesture. I'm happy for any help people can give me on this. I'll film the episode without that feature, but it will definitely look a little more natural with it, plus the need for this isn't going to go away." Can anybody help him out? Thanks in advance guys! -Ben _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
