Paradroid - some more to watch
by D Fasel · 01/31/2011 (5:44 am) · 9 comments
Last weekend i was play around with the Evolver Model system. I created 3 Models and did download from the evolver web. The nice thing, it is in the right T3D format like the Gideon is. One of the models Is DJ Bassman, a old friend. So i did us him as DJ in a little bar. Of course, a DJ without music is noting worth. So you can hear a nice 1 hour DJ Mix of him. The city bar is like a party room, and only there you can watch and listen to DJ Bassman.
OK, enought words... watch the vid :)

Great job Daniel, yes those evolver models work well, and being able to customize them so they are unique to your game is great.I like the death glowing skull effects.

0 being the start and 1 the end (your end animation may be 10, 20 etc).

Looking good Daniel. On the disco animations when they reach the end, instead of looping them can you play them in reverse.. so from pointer 0 to 1, then 1 to 0 and repeat. This way you may not have the jumping in between.0 being the start and 1 the end (your end animation may be 10, 20 etc).

Looks really good, I've not heard of evolver but it looks really promising. Is it easy to get a model from there into Torque 3D (being a coder I've little concept of the art pipeline).

@ Julian, i need to get a other dance animation or more as just one. But this is a problem for me, about i just use milkshape. Any animation , made for the gideon would work. Atm i just use the celdance as placeholder.
@ Andy, you can download the evolver model, made for T3D inclouding the gideon skeleton and the animations. It cost $ 39 per model and download.

I had a play around with Evolver, and apart from the webplugin being a huge a mount of fun, the make-model-from-single-front-on-photo system wasn't half bad.
It didn't get my forehead or skull shape right, but not bad elsewhere.
