B3D Needs this (3d animations)
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/B3D Needs this (3d animations)
I think this is a pretty basic feature of any game engine ... Torque does it anyway.
xmlspy,
Blitz3d can easily do all that stuff from Enhanced Animation info page, you just need to play around a bit.
The demo seems screwed. It keeps complaining I don't have DirectX 9.0c installed, but I do? I have checked all my graphics settings and there's nothing out of the ordinary.
All the Dark stuff is really really pickie about which update for DX3d you have.
That's basic animation blending... if you have two animations like run/aim you should be able to write similar ani-routine with Blitz3D too... you just "manually" adjust/weight certain bones on-the-fly, mixing the values of the two (or more) animations. Of course it's still a lot of work to write one, but possible.

That's really really bad... I'll stick with Blitz in that case!
Same problem as AdamJ here.
Really impressive stuff from the DB crew. NOT :/
The problem is not with DX9c but with the old MS's decision to have a different utility lib with every new DX SDK. You can get the missing "d3dx9_31.dll" file at www.dll-files.com

I don't know. It looks kind of geeky and unnatural. Besides which people will swing swords/fire guns differently when standing still or on the move, try it IRL and see for yourself.
Even better, go outside and play a game of tennis or squash (racquetball) or something. Now did you swing the racket the same way when your running as you do when you're standing still? No? Go figure.
It's one of those ideas that sound really good, until you've thought it through. I mean the system certainly has a lot of applications, just not the one it's advertised for.
Ha!
Won't run here! I'll check at home tonight!
IPete2.
Animation blending like this actually works pretty well because the swing animation actually does change when blended with a run etc... Again this is speaking from Torque experience.
