Blacksnake89 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've seen that armor in a game before don't quite remember what game but I know it was armor elven knights used. I'll see if I can find some screenshots of that game and armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysus Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 dunno whats all teh fuzz bout rigging ma... you actually just need to import the skeleton nif, draw a mesh around it and skinweight the mesh to the skeleton... you dont need to make bones or add physics... the weighting is crazy enough but its possible le :P ...

LHammonds Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 dunno whats all teh fuzz bout rigging ma...The fuss is that is can be nightmarish for some armors due to fixing one thing and causing clipping elsewhere...a domino effect and after each change, you need to go in-game to really test it out. Just moving the skeleton in pose mode is not enough. The Boba Fett armor I've been messing with was a real challenge to rig (especially for my first entire set I've ever rigged) and there are some parts that can never be completely clip-free (such as the rocket going through the head when sneaking in this case). The shoulders seem to be the most difficult to me. When in-game, the skeleton rotates the arms oddly and lowers it to a point that they seem outta-socket. This is probably done to allow for a wide range of animation moves but it is not very pleasant if the easy tricks do not work. You also need to consider the material. With the Boba Fett armor, you want the individual metal armor on the chest to look and move as solid pieces and the underlying shirt / fabric to bend and twist rather than the metal. This is not always possible depending on the model and you might have to allow the metal pieces to bend and twist which looks a bit odd. Look at the steel armor for an example of oddly flexible metal. ;) LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
