Look i can Crouch!
Wow after so long weve now got a crouch animation ingame :)



Weve always had the crouch working but never an animation for it :) its amazing the difference it makes :)

Now we finally have a common skeleton where porting all our animations to it, and there is a very long list :) Swimming/Prone/Grenade Throws/Custom weapon handling for each gun, custom reloading e.t.c

Soon the list gets very large, Fortunetely we have a great animator onboard now and i cant wait to check it all out ingame.

Anyway this is just a quick plan. Illumina is still progressing well, weve got some new hud effects coming in (glass breaks, raindrops e.t.c), some new player models being bound to the soldier skeleton and finally some vehicles being moved in all over the next few weeks.

MOVIES

Ok i went and made some movies of it and some other stuff in action

www.illumina-game.com/crouch1.avi - 10 meg (xvid required). Got me doing some funky crouch dancing.

www.illumina-game.com/crouch2.avi - 2 meg - some cool movies of the support drop in action. with all new particle fx's coming soon.

Cool! Glad to see you found your animator, and it's also good to see the soldier and skeleton being useful!

Yeah, the Soldier Pack is great!

Do you have any advice on adding extra weapon holding animations that work like/with the "look" animation?

Jeff Gran   (Aug 24, 2005 at 16:06 GMT)
Yes, I'm working on an addition to the skeleton generator that will be a solution for that right now... the MAX version is done except for back-porting it to Max 5.... Maya version is next on the list.... if only there were more hours in the day.

Awesome Ian. The crouch animation looks awesome as well as Illumina. I'm so looking forward to this.

@Josh: Your name made me stop for a while; it sounds like an unholy fusion of two people I know! ;) (Josh Williams/Jay Moore).

@Ian:Looking great!

Unholy?? lol

@Jeff: Would it be possible to get an early version of the fix(animation using Max 7, IIRC)? If so, please contact me or Ian. Thanks. :)
