A Small favour
« on: April 15, 2007, 08:47:58 AM »
i need a small favour and im hoping someone who knows something about bridge annimations can help me,

I need the DBridge Captain Stand and the DBridge Captain Sit animation for the camera(/player) changed so they work on the Sovereign Bridge set.

its not urgent but just something id like to make the mission sequences im scripting perfect.

I'm not sure anyone has ever made any custom camera animations.  Tho since camera inherits from the same base object as ship or character then it should be just the case of moving an object round an exporting it.  Would be worth a fiddle for the cutscences in excal if nothing else.

there are walk on anims for both of the stock sets... as for making one that fits both, well thats just not do-able for 2 reasons:

1: we dont have the stock models in 3dsmax to use as reference for the camera path

2: we never figured out how to get camera anims exporting properly, i was going to try and figure it out again for excalibur but since we are using immersion for interior stuff like this it shouldnt be necessary.
