I uploaded a throw anim. This would be going a lot faster if I wasn't working overtime at work at the moment. Usually it only takes 1 hour to animate these short things and I upload in the same evening. Probably 2 hours total including recording myself moving, and then after animating is complete - testing and uploading etc.

Hes wiping the sneeze of course... I guess maybe it not that obvious because i have his hand in a ball to catch the sneeze, not a more natural open palm. I tried the open palm and changed it because i was having trouble with it. Can't remember why. I'm not opposed to changing it. I'm not happy with the closed fist or the wipe really.

 

the action is one continuous movement which makes it hard to see, you need more time for the whipe to read. Or you could just lower the arm right after the sneeze like this

Btw, squill, do we have a cough animation?

 

Also, I have played Heros of Might and Magic V a lot lately :blush: and they have that cool animation for the Skeleton Archer. Whenever he gets hit, he sort of jerks back, and that pushs his helmet slightly into his face,so he quickly raises his hand and pushes the helmet back. Looks quite cool and believable :)

yeah we do. It's sounds funny but we don't have separate helmets for the guards to create such animations. You see the same thing with the running soldier in Team fortress 2, his helmet jiggles while he's running and covers most of his eyes, it's very well animated.

Yeah, i wanted it to look like he was mainly doing a quick wipe just for insurance rather than him thinking he actually had a lot of phlem on his hand.

 

Domarius did the "warm hands", while i was actually thinking of doing one where the guards would rub their hands together. If anyone wants to do that one go for it. I'd have to read a ik/fk switching tutorial first.

to do the warm hands anim you don't need to use ik if that's what you were thinking. IK is usefull if you need to stick the hands to a surface or hold an object like a sword and animate a straight stab which is harder to do with arcs(using FK). All animations that have the hands free are usually best to do in FK because all arm and hand movement naturally move in arcs.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply slide the hands back and forth using ik and adjust the elbows and shoulders afterwords?

 

You could do that but i would use FK without having to adjust the elbows afterwards. Just use what you think feels right. I sometimes blend from FK to IK in cases where for instance a hand has to grab something (IK) and in the end the arm has to swing back(FK).

Generally any swinging should be FK, and any contact should be IK.

 

I think I would have found it easier to use IK for the actual rubbing motion, but I got by without it because I haven't tried switching between IK to FK cause I didn't know if it would work - just a paranoia from the old rig I guess :) If squill is using it without problems then I'll have a go next time.

No. I'm pretty much the only person doing animations anymore, and I haven't been using it.

      I vaguely recall someone recently complained about two-sided materials (curtains?) not getting lighting from both sides
      I just found a piece of code that's supposed to do just that
      Where was that discussed? (@nbohr1more?)

      I still play classic Doom (albeit with user-made mods and maps rather than the original campaign) on a regular basis. A game from the early 90's which has still got a healthy following in 2022. Pretty amazing.

      I'm beginning to understand why people who aren't into social clubbing "don't last long" on this project, and why it's so full of holes. When moderators are siding with bullies, by closing down threads that they derail, then I start to wonder if I should support the platform to begin with.
      I'm sure that the core development is solid, but when you're constantly tone policed and bullied, and moderators are playing into it too, then the project will just drive away talent, and replace it with socialites instead. ...and without talent, you only end up with a small skeleton crew trying to do everything themselves.
      ...so Dragofer and Airship Ballet, and all you other socialites, you win. From now on I'll just keep to myself. You'll never be able to do my work, but at least you'll be happy together, and that's what matters to you.
       
      Update
      Actually, I have to revise my statement:
      I actually messaged greebo - the top dog, I gather - about nbohr1more's outburst of insanity below, and since I haven't even heard back from him, I just have to assume that there's not a single core programmer here, who's not backing nbohr's threats. ...and that's bad.
      ...so if you're a newbie reading this, or an honest soul like ZergRush, then just slowly back out of these forums, run, and don't look back. This is nothing more than a cult posing as a game development project, using Thief and IDTech4 to sucker hopefuls in, to do work for them, while trying to cajole them into something going on behind the scenes, which apparently - according to nbohr - is something that should be hidden from the state. These people aren't programmers - they don't even understand things like how to fix the simplest bugs. All they have, is an engine, and an IP, and some sort of fascist social cult. There was some other project I saw being made in the Unreal Engine. Try joining that project. ...or start a project of your own. Anything but this asylum.
      Hopefully that was "divisive" enough for a final post, because at this point I really want people to leave this place. This project is, on a management level, just awful garbage, run by garbage people, apparently from the top down, and I'm just glad that they have a garbage place to stay, together, and hopefully forever.
