Character Animation - some question

by Marcin Zygmunt · in Torque Game Engine · 11/05/2004 (8:32 am) · 4 replies

I'm just starting work with TGE and I have a few questions.
Is it possible to "tear" a model apart? By this I mean that when I shoot the model's hand - the hand is gone from the model.
The same applies to other body parts.
Is a system like that present in Torque... I don't know, because I haven't fished studying the whole documentation yet.
I would be vary thankfull for any info on this.

Sort of. It's not directly exposed but it would be possible within the existing code framework. Look at the stuff in the engine/ts directory as a starter - that's the core model rendering code you'll need to be modifying.

Or maybe i will make character models:
- one with hand
- one without hand
etc

And if i shot in hand i will change model to "One without hand"
it's possible to make something like that ?

dont know how Animation System works in Toruqe yet...

Marcin,

I am planning on using the same effect in my game and have found a couple resources that should point you in the right direction.

Hiding Meshes and Hiding Nodes

Thanks.
