Pocket Warrior iPhone
|
I got my first product into the app store a couple of weeks ago. It's not a game (yet). Pocket Warrior is initially meant to be a toy, a comical, talking, action figure of a super, high poly, animated, soft skinned model. After porting my existing... |

(Solved) Max Exporter for mesh, materials, skeleton, weighting, and animation
|
I've been doing research for existing options before breaking down to write a custom MAX exporter. The most ideal formats I've come across are MS3D, Collada, and Ogre's XML.
The Ogre XML format seems the most appealing and has an existing exporte... |

(Solved) Skinning MD5mesh/anims in D3D with standard indexed vertex blending
|
I have a generic skinning and animation system that I hope can support a few formats. Currently, I'm adding support for MD5.
It was easy enough to get MD5 meshes, skeletons, and animations loading and playing. My skeleton proxy renders and anima... |

(Solved) Ogre Exporter for animation in non-Ogre projects?
|
I've written a generic animation system. I'm using MD5 and Ogre XML formats for test data.
I can get MD5 meshes and animations to load, play, and render perfectly if I do my own software skinning.
I'm having issues with using the same animatio... |

Max 7 MD5 exporters?
|
Does anyone know of an alternate MD5 exporter to Berserker? That's the only one I've been able to find with a working link. It works but it's extremely slow and doesn't support Physique or Biped. |

Purchasing Assets

I'm not sure if I have time to compete since I don't have the luxury of summer break anymore. If I made time and couldn't find artists for team members then I'd like to buy custom character models and animations for my seemingly unique idea. I'm no... |

Process for level design of Action/Adventure games

Regardless of toolset and engine, how do different people go from brainstorming an idea to having a designed level that's ready enough to be assembled for a game? I'm not talking about actual in game implementation. For me, "Action/Adventure" can i... |

(Solved) Lua user data and properties (__index/metatables)

I have a class design that includes a lookup table based property system.
It allows me to get/set members by name in C++, during serialization, scripting, at run-time, etc.
Using Lua light user data and method/meta tables on the C++ side,... |

Mulver - 3D Platform game

Nevermind, I saw the scripts.
Brute force layout of all that sstuff is pretty hard core.
You do what you gotta do! |

Mulver - 3D Platform game

I dug it. Here are some questions.
* You mentioned Lua and Python. Which was actually used?
* If Lua, what was your architecture: single state, state per object, coroutines, or were all objects created and maintained in Lua?
* What did you use... |

[4E6] Conclusion

I still say elements don't matter. If the contest had remained earth, fire, wind, and water would you just make a game with those elements as terrain or would you shoot for something like Avatar or Captain Planet?
You decided what elements were g... |

[4E6] Conclusion

I'm sure they'll be judged soon enough. Then again, it's never soon enough for the participants. As much as people complained about the elements and contest, I'd not be in a rush to judge either.
I have mixed feelings about the contest but I lov... |

(Solved) Max Exporter for mesh, materials, skeleton, weighting, and animation

I successfully got Ogre and MD5 mesh and animation data exporting from MAX, rendering and animating with the same code. Collada and MS3D will come next. |

(Solved) Skinning MD5mesh/anims in D3D with standard indexed vertex blending

After I got OGRE XML working, I went back to MD5 to attempt to convert it to a useable format (my normal mesh format) for standard skinning.
1) The first problem was caused by not resettingg my model's/skin's transform after scaling it down in MAX... |

(Solved) Ogre Exporter for animation in non-Ogre projects?

I got everything working perfectly. It took a while for my brain to consider and ssarch that Ogre stores skeletal animation keyframes as deltas from the base pose instead of the actual pose for that frame. I just converted the deltas to whole trans... |

Suitable 3D Format
|
They all have limitations.
MD5 is good but requires a unique mesh format and software skinning, AFAIK.
OGRE XML is good and straight forward even though I'm having issues applying animations to it in my own code.
ASE supports vertex tweening... |
