failed animtree (i tried)

i thought that maybe setting up an animtree with blend by speed would automatically map the setting the the xbox analog stick. it was worth a try. but further research suggests this involves scripting with the ground speed and calling the animsets/tree.

we can still use the jog within other events within matinee?

they see me strollin'...the hating (jog cycle)

im not sure i shoulda put this at a 24frame cycle as its pretty much the same speed as the walk cycle :/

Chieftain Update - Weight Painting

Painting adjustments

By Paul

totally fixed the issue!

because i'm an idiot

i figured importing the animation into the animset would also import the weighting and mesh changes...when its the skeletal mesh that needed re importing! DUUUUH!!!!

walk cycle and weighting issues

there is a gap in the shirt and trousers when he walks which i edited in maya yet the import doesnt bring the change over

there was an issue with the collar when animating which was fixed by weighting while animating. yet...this weighting doesn't carry over to udk...

Chieftain Update - Normal map solved, rig and weight painting

Rigging the chieftain up

character weighting

This has been a huge step backwards. Its literally taken me all day (restarting the process about 6 times) to just get some kind of weighting effect and get it working in udk and not break the rig. i have no evidence but there were millions of issues!

Chieftain Update

This is the chieftain imported from mudbox to maya with the chieftain texture applied after.

                               

This is the model in udk. I can't seem to get the smoothness in the face from maya to udk.
