Xplorer4x4 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 How do you create new people animations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luisinho Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I remember seeing somewhere someone saying that it's impossible to create person's animations, only objects and vehicles can be created...Let's wait and see if I'm right...

Xplorer4x4 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Guess I should have searched. :$ I never realized the old thread actually got an answer.:http://forum.emergency-planet.com/index.ph...p;hl=animationsAnd yes Luisinho, I was under that impression to, but then i read that thread awhile back so I am not sure.

MikeyPI Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 No new program, people work differently than the beloved vehicles, the only way you're going to put a new animation on the peons is to actually create a whole new one, and give him new animations for all the original functions, have fun with that.... Chances are they used a diff much more elaborate app to create the animations used on the people, then converted them over... I don't have a clue what the app was but in the end the answer remains the same... Default dude is stuck with what he's got... he can't gain new animations without making a new guy and doing it all over, since none of us know what program they used.

Xplorer4x4 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hmm so if it requires a "new" person then why cant we simply use the model files for a perso,create new prototype,n then create the animation? What about making new vehicle animations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 You misunderstand, litterally you'd have to make a person just like a vehicle, and animate it the same way you animate a car, which is an extremely time consuming process.... Obviously animations are possible, there are several in the LA Mod if you play the thing you'll see them, The Fast Rope, the Rotor Assembly on the Blackhawk, the FBI MCV, LAPD Harley's cop, some of the doors that slide up on trucks were animated..... It just is a great deal of work and to create a new person you'd have to recreate ALL animations for the original functions, walking, standing, moving, picking up, using equiptment, everything...... It's just not worth it, unless someone knows what they made the people with and how to revert them back to that form, you can't mod the existing models, you MUST create a new one. Animations in general are not an easy task with how we've figured out to do them... there are other ways but I do not know if the app we all have to use support them, z2 doesnt have most the functions you'd need to make a decent person.

Xplorer4x4 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Yeah I still dont get why it has to be an all new person because the v3os arent going to contain the animations are they? There not even capable are they? I just dont get it but tell ya what, I will take your advice, and forget I even mentioned it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Correct, animations are hidden within the models (as part of the V3O), look in the editor you will see some have animations in them like Deploy/undeploy and things like that, it's how the legs on the ladders deploy and things like that... The problem is that the way we have to add them is rather complicated, in order to tamper with a person, anyone who's loaded one in zmod knows they're a wreck and with how we do animations we could not add an additional animation, it simply won't function..
