Animating for Battlefield 2
Tutorial available for public distribution.
Note: These animation scene are only compatible with 3DsMax9. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING YOU NEED THE FOLLOWING:
Project Reality Animation Export Examples These animation export files are only to provide you with examples of how Project Reality sets up and dose weapon animations for different types of weapons so you can learn how to apply these to your own animations. Using these animations for any other purpose is a breach of copyright law. By downloading these files you agree to only use them in this manner. Download: https://files.realitymod.com/resource...s_18-01-14.zip (260mb) Chapter 1 - Introduction to BF2 Weapon Animation Download Link Skeleton Setup Max Scene Note: You need CamStudio Movie player to play the encoded .avi files, it is available here. You will also need the following BF2 tools to be able to import and export to and from the bf2 engine. Spoiler for Bone Selection Mini-Tut:
Chapter 2 - Setting up for Export PASSWORD IS pr Explained in this video
Chapter 3 - The BF2 Editor Explained in this video
A useful tip if the editor is refusing to load the correct animations is to "Add Effect" (the plus sign close to the BAF animation's name), and add a randomly named effect and it will reload the proper animation for the weapon you've loaded. Because the editor doesn't save anything unless you tell it to, you don't have to worry about unintentionally adding an effect. Chapter 4 - Animation System Files Chapter 5 - First-Person Animations PASSWORD IS pr Chapter 6 - Animation Principles and a complete reload animation from scratch PASSWORD IS pr Extra Reading Material https://www.killeenisd.org/schools/h...principles.pdf If you are really nerdy I can highly recommend buying the book "The Illusion Of Life" - Disney animation. This is where these 12 principles originate from. In terms of applying these principles to the world of 3D rather than 2D, here is a pretty good article on the subject: CGSociety - Applying the 12 Principles to 3D Computer Animation by Disney's Isaac Kerlow IBrokeRU's channel, talented first person weapon animator, also making his own series of tutorials. YouTube - ImBrokeRU's Channel Good luck, and I'll reiterate by saying that anyone can do this, with the right amount of dedication. - Last Updated: 18th of January 2014 - Files Re-Uploaded & Download Links Updated: 7th of November 2017 |
