New animations

Post by **Redeth** » January 21st, 2006, 7:23 pm

hi there! I'm new

I just made a goblin spearman (bloody) death ani, and I'd like to know what you think about it.

(edited, removed the bloddy ani)

I think it is a bit too bloody (has anyone ever died like that except in a Hollywood movie?), but other than that it is very good. Perhaps you could remove some of the blood splatter.

How about none?

None of the other animations do that.

WINB: Wesnoth Is Not Bloody.

Remove the blood please.

Very well, a 'clean' death for our beloved goblin then

Anything else?

His legs look like rubber, they bend.

I'll see what I can do 'bout those rubber legs...

You guys shouldn't delete attachments in Art development...I could almost see you doing to off-topic, but a dev forum?????

romnajin, I edited my own post because there was no point in leaving that 'bloody' animation

here's the new one, hope it looks better... I still miss the blood though

kidding...

Look like something big stomped on him. Goblin goes through a forest, hears a screeching sound, and when he looks up, a Wose stomps on him.

I ahve to admit, seems as dinamic as a mounted unit death.

Should I keep working on the goblin spearman death ani?

I think there's something wrong with his right arm, but I dunno if it's worth fixing it...

Meanwhile, I made this one... No shadows done yet, though.

Notice that the goblin impaler, unlike the puny spearman, holds on to his weapon even in his final moment

So smooth? This guy is falling! He needs to accelerate!

Post by **Redeth** » January 22nd, 2006, 4:41 pm

It's bad because it's so smooth?

Should I delete some frames?

I mean, this is just a sample gif, the 'speed' at which he falls can be easily adjusted through the framerate settings, if and when applied in-game, I assume.

very true, keep it at the same speed unless whoever includes it says otherwise.

it's simpler to make animations were each frame takes up the same amount of time. Sure timing can be tweaked in the unit's CFG, but it makes more sense to test an animation with (more or less) the correct timing.

Redeth, there are some aspects than could be better with these (timing perhaps the main one) but you've basicly got the right idea, and are thinking of the unit as a 3D entity, and not as a 2D image to be selectively rotated. Good work.
