HorribleGoat 1473 Posted January 26, 2017 Improved entry animation for WK-209 gunner position. This version is good enough for testing it out in game to see how it works there and what needs to be improved. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad benson 1733 Posted January 27, 2017 damn dude! very nice animation. nice shifting of weight and stuff. and that mech. oh boy. i can't wait. the first person view gives me star citizen vibes. keep it up! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides isn't $40 cheap compared to starcitizen ships! ;D 6 hours ago, bad benson said: damn dude! very nice animation. nice shifting of weight and stuff. and that mech. oh boy. i can't wait. the first person view gives me star citizen vibes. keep it up! Thanks man! Coincidentally Youtube automagic did label that video as Star Citizen related and not Arma 3 as all our other videos! xD 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted January 29, 2017 Aaand ACTION! This time presenting you with a view on how the climb in animation looks in game! Seems that the "get in/out" animations dont play as smoothly for some reason, but other than the little choppyness it is mighty fine step forward again! Debug update: I narrowed down the choppy animation to AI units that get in to a vehicle (the torso) that is attached to man class unit (the legs). So it unfortunately seems to be a engine thing. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcpookie 3770 Posted January 30, 2017 May I ask what tool you use to make these fine animations? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its normal get in animation, but the Torso is attached to the legs (2 separate units, a tank [torso] and a man [legs]) and when the tank class is attached to the man class the get in animation gets choppy. I did try attaching a not man vehicle to another not man vehicle and there the animation played smoothly, so its only in this very special and hacky attachto situtation that the animation choppiness seems to apply. Also player animation played smoothly so its choppy only on AI. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is however minor cosmetic issue in my opinion and there are also possible workarounds like making a separate static leg model the torso is attached to when powered down. But I'll explore those if it becomes too bothersome. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted February 17, 2017 Some more residential concepting. Single wall slot would house 12 comfortable sized housing units each with approximately 140m2 floorspace. Built with modular components each house unit can be modified to suit the inhabitants tastes and needs. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x3kj 1247 Posted February 18, 2017 Looks nice, but in terms of performance/complexity this looks very expensive - if you intent to deploy those in larger quantities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is more like a semi high poly build version where I experiment with all the bits and fiddles to make sure theres room for everything and etc. From these we'll build a few different variants to use in game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted February 19, 2017 Experimenting with room layout: 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted February 20, 2017 Improved layout for the house unit. This latest one we've given quite a bit of thought already to make it comfortable for the inhabitants and also to use the space efficiently. Some walls were moved around and rooms redistributed so that the left side has a big open space for a livingroom / dining space / kitchen, the 2 middle rooms at the top are for shower and wc and the rooms on the right are for bedrooms. The middle room has some room for closets and such for storage and the front room has also special purpose as an airlock in case of gas emergency. The houses are located in quite close vicinity of all kinds of industrial facilities and citizens safety is a prime concern! ;Dhttp://www.moddb.com/mods/lost-dragons/images/house-wip-04#mediaform 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bars91 956 Posted February 20, 2017 Nice attention to detail and "realism/plausability" of stuff! Are you considering any single-room sub-compact layouts (like those asian ones) since it would "play" well with the whole pre-fabricated modular housing thing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you considering any single-room sub-compact layouts (like those asian ones) since it would "play" well with the whole pre-fabricated modular housing thing We do have considered that but there is really no need for making tiny housing. There is just that much room in there and the utopian government is not run by the same kind of principles as we are maybe used to. The goal of the industrial complex city was to keep its inhabitants on 100% working capacity by keeping them happy and healthy and whatnot. (Idealistic right ;9) Part of that is providing spacious and inspiring housing. One "family" unit could be halved or max split to 3 but that would still leave quite spacious single person house units. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted March 4, 2017 Some new Battle Armor sneakpeeks! I have redone the hands and got around rigging the whole body and it looks pretty damn majestic! :D The fingers need little adjusting to work properly but other than that it seems to work surprisingly well! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
