Animation

[ElderTroll]

I have an idea for a new video showcasing the progress in animation. What I need is someone to make a video of the Beshara cell with all npc's animated, because nothing says progress like synchronized air swimming and synchronized death animations. I have a netbook otherwise I'd do it myself.

The video will start with Jhook's old base animation test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxRUdsFc ... ature=plcp

and transition to the frightening

and then finally transitioning to the Beshara cell. What do you think?

I wouldn't mind, would not really be an efficient use of time though. Once we release .12 Star-Demon will probably make a video showcasing the new features. I suggest showing off an npc (~30 seconds so we don't bore people ), a beast npc, and 1 or 2 creatures (ancestor ghost and kwama queen). Someone with a high end gaming machine could make a video with about 10 npcs on screen at once being animated, that would be cool.

The animation code is a bit different from the old npc animation 8 test videos -- we don't have clothing/armor in the current implementation.

Sounds good. I'd rather keep you programming. If 0.12.0 is released before the end of the month I might have a computer fast enough for me to do the recording. I'm thinking between 3 and a half and 4 minutes tops now.

Here's a video with all npcs animated.

Terrific! It's up on the Youtube channel.

Won't play above 360p for some reason, the original video was 1280x720, weird.

@jhooks, YT takes a bit to process stuff higher than 360p.

its up now. just need to wait a little while afterwards.

EDIT: jhooks, make sure you put up a copyright thing on your videos saying that content belongs to bethesda yadayada so that none of the videos gets pulled

I see that you made good use of your vip card

PS
Swiming in air is funny as hell.

So awesome. Also so hilarious, but it's really really great to see this progress!
