by Aun Taraseina · 02/27/2007 (10:55 pm) · 31 comments

The Torque Motion Team are proud to announce the first update for theTM-Basic Animation Pack. The updates contain the following.
Version 1.1 includes:

So, for our exsisting customers you can download your updates for free. And for people that are not our customers the price is still the same. This is what you will get in the current TM-Basic Animation Pack.
TM-Basic Animation Pack:
- 60 DSQ Torque Animation files for Kork and Space Kork
- 60 DSQ Torque Animation files for Ava
- 60 DSQ Torque Animation files for Adam
- Code and Script implementation samples with documentation
Thats a total of 180 DSQ Torque Animations files from 60 Motion Capture source animations. We manually hand animate the animations for Adam and Ava using the original Motion Capture source animations so both of the models using our animations won't look "orcish". We been through all the troubles of animating and exporting so you wouldn't have to. ;)
Here are some comparison between all three models.



(Adam and Ava are created by Spencer Boomhower. Both models will not be included in the Basic Animation Pack.)
Please have a look in Adam' Gallery and Ava's Gallery to see all their animations. Every DSQ Torque Animation files will be interchangable between models using the same skeleton.
Here's an in-game video to see the animations in action.

For high-res video 20 meg [*.wmv] you can grab it here.
What's next ?
- We are working on another update for this pack and hopefully we could release the update soon.
- We are standardizing our motion capture source file, documenting the process of getting the source file to work with your model and exporting it to the dsq format so it can work properly. This will take quite a time before we can release our motion capture source file.
The Torque Motion - Basic Animation Pack can be locate here

First, I want to say, that the animations are incredible and have saved us time and money. Our only bottleneck has been using AFX and the animations together. Is anyone else have this problem?

Excellent glad you got the email. I was afraid I had frightened you with such a long list. You had invited me to send it though, so hoped it would help your team also, and maybe someday it will help us too! :)Blessings to you,

Heya just wanted to ask if you guys will release the max source files sometime soon so we can put those animations on custom characters. Thanks

We have put countless hours of work with the source files and yet we do not feel it is ready to be release. Please accept my apologies with such a long delay but we will not be releasing the source files yet.

The professional version with the 3DS animations so that we can add our own, or fix the parts we don't like is also attractive. We are discussing the possiblity of upgrading to that as well when it becomes available.
Overall this has been a great improvement to what was previously available to us, and we really appreciate the opportunity to use it in our development. :) As I said before, we have a list of other needs as well. Do you have any plans to do animal animations? I can send a list of animals that we need. :)
Thanks for your contribution to the Indie community!
