Actually I was thinking of it.

[Sykes]

Pretty cool. Did you rig blitz or did you frame by frame moves its limbs? If so that must have been painful.

[Infinity238]

Hell no! that would be so painfull. I do know some rigging, basically I do little things like that here and there to get use to animating something.

[Infinity238]

Another one.


(see if you can pick out the fine details)

[Soul]

Nice your really good.

[Infinity238]

This one might find its way into my avatar. btw you notice the launch screen actually says ZGMF-X08A Legacy.

[Soul]

I can't see that message were is it?

[Sykes]

Very nice avatar infinity, and attention to detail. Wish you had told me you were making it I had finished rigging Legacy last night.

FS, its right above the part were is says Abort, Clear, Launch.

[Infinity238]

lol yea, out of interest can I see how you rigged it.

[Soul]

I guessing this is how it would sound for the that suit launching "Sykes Legacy Launching!" am I close?

[Infinity238]

Sykes would probly agree with you. more like "Yamada, Legacy heading out."

[Soul]

Either sounds good you got another I'd like that one but with a different Gundam?

[Sykes]

Yup exactly what I was thinking.

Ill send you the file and you can check it out infinity.

[Infinity238]

I always like to see how the other side does it, btw what process do you use to skin your suits? I can't help but notice you do it different than me, and it interests me.


Well that is different than how I rig alright, mine is pritty simple and it works well with robots.(dosnt require deformation of any kind)


I know how to use bones too but this way is so dirt easy.

[Sykes]

I add a skin modifier to each separate part of the mesh. Then I attach that to the bone I want it to follow. There is no deformation with mine either because I add an individual modifier for each piece instead of selecting the whole gundam and using one modifier. Then I can increase the the envolope so it catches the whole piece. I use this method cause it gives me practice for more complex models like humans and things.

I dont know if that makes any sense to you since its kinda hard to explain. Also I forgot to tell you that I hid all the bones because they just get in the way during animation but you can see them if you unhide all the objects starting with "Bip"

[Infinity238]

Ahhh! I see, yea I know about the skin modifier but I stayed away from it because It usually refers to the entire mesh. I never thought of useing it on seperate peices like that.

Another one.
