I've got the animations - I have everything - I just tested with Milkshape.

Take "Leanna" - the one in the short skirt who is well fit:

She has 163 animation files.

She has 153 generic animation files.

There are 58 cinematic animations - I suppose cut-scene stuff.


JESUS CHRIST!!! I CAN FINALLY SAY GOODBYE TO THE NEVERWINTER NIGHTS ANIMATED CHARACTERS.

Anyone who has never played Dark Messiah - basically this is a Half-Life 2 engine game. These are good models - high quality stuff.

There is a god and he is Larging himself in my direction.

Here she is in Blitz3D:

Excellent stuff! You were actually able to export them to b3d format?

puki

Yep - those two pictured above are .b3d files loaded into Blitz3D. They animate fine.

I've not yet applied the normal maps to see how much better they can look.

The b3d files are actually smaller than the original reference file - this is due to the way HL2 stores additional data in the reference file - on export to .b3d that info seems to be stripped away.

I'm still studying things and carrying out further analysis.

I am the most dominant and most Largest and most interesting and most exciting and most fascinating and most bestest Blitzer whoever lived - in history - period.

I can't be caught - I am so far in front I am looping back behind all of you to overtake you again.

Yeah, and "puki" knows it, but it's not like he'll ever make a commercial game with them.

Puki, I'm probably uninformed but I thought it was not possible to use proper normal maps in Blitz3D, esp. on animated models?

Naughty Alien
 #14
..it is possible..

I love these two arguments

puki, just one question.... what the hell is it with you collecting all these rpg models and stuff? are you planning some huge WoW beating epic?

(or is it for adult orientated medievil animations)

No one is going to sue Puki for stealing their models. I mean... It would be like suing your grandfather...

It's not. There are various workarounds floating around and some people will swear blind that it's just like the real thing, but it's not even close. Without true per-pixel lighting you're never going to get anything vaguely approaching the real effect.

Ironically, Puki is one of the people who doesn't swear blind that he can see the bumpiness. But I guess he might make an exception for something he had to work so hard to steal.

klepto's miniB3D Mod supports Normal Mapping (and all shaders for that matter) so if you want to use blitzmax+miniB3D you will see these stolen models in all of there bumpy-shiny glory.

I heard on the grapevine there's other 3D goodness headed bmax's way, too...

TheSin

Which multiplattform compatible free 3D module could that be?

big10p
 #22
Dunno. I doubt the one I heard about will be free, though. Not sure, TBH.

All shaders? It supports HLSL shaders?

This is truly awesome.

Because many characters share the same skeletal structure I can apply animations meant for specific characters to any other character. In a nutshell, I can make characters do things that they cannot in the game.

Imagine a goblin that can only fight with melee weapons. Well, he can now use magic. I can give him the ability to cook, to sweep the floor, to serve drinks in a bar, etc, etc.

I am just in awe of this - the animations are so high-quality - I'm just memorised watching these new friends of mine doing everything I want them to - especially that "Leanna".
