Hi Matthias..and all..
Your Alien prj seems to come along nicely..
Will be cool to see how it develops.. and to see the final anim..
Thx for sharing both the anims and the prj file....
You have good flow with the footStep tool, and some others have had so in
the past too, but I feel it not very friendly to work with..
I myself have some kind of similar, but yet different workflow, which I have
wanted to share in a tut for a long time, but I havent had the energy to put
together..=(
Carlo´s RealPuppet plug might come out before...and that I believe will
solve if not all, but most Char Anim problems !
btw..
here are a few very short test anims of mine, nothing fancy at all..
One of the parts of my workflows, is to have the feet skels separated from
the rest of the skel setup, in some cases I also even have separate
Handskels in the same way..
This makes feet control a breeze..(when the rest of skel is set up
properly..)
With this type of Hierachy..
Character Level
SpineLevel
SpinSkel
RightArm
LeftArm
RightLeg
LeftLeg
BodyMeshLevel
In this level the body parts are..=)
RightFootLevel
RightFootSkel
RightLeg Ctrl (IK Obj)
RightFootMeshLevel
Either separate foot meshes, or just a PointGroup of the Foot
point from the Main body
LeftFootLevel
LeftFootSkel
LeftLeg Ctrl (IK Obj)
LeftFootMeshLevel
Either separate foot meshes, or just a PointGroup of the Foot
point from the Main body
All objects but the SpineSkel and the RFoot and LFoot Skels (and maybe the
handskels) are set to not selectable.. Then its easy to fastly select things
when animating..=) (just by click and drag the need in the view, like either
foot or spine.. )
Hopefully I can get some energy and share a prj file soon..=(
Here are the test anims..
all using MPEG Video Codec...
