Great. Finally I can create custom animations for Niko. Have always wanted to try to make Niko be able to sleep properly on beds that are larger than the standard provided at safehouses. Good job.

Great work Andræs.

 

How do you make a SA anim work on an IV skeleton?

Great work Andræs.

 

How do you make a SA anim work on an IV skeleton?

1) Use BIPPY script for conversion skeleton with its animation to biped (click here)

2) Save animation of biped in bip-file

3) Open biped_gta4.max

4) Load bip-animation

5) Export all to fbx-file

6) Open skel_gta4.max

7) Load fbx with option File content - 'Update animation'

 

 

[Frank.s 831]

Awesome thank you, will try that very soon.

[Wesser 335]

You may also use GTA Animation XML IO MaxScript plugin in order to convert biped animations to bone skeleton or viceversa.

[Frank.s 831]

Thanks Wesser.

 

Andrew, im having problems with bippy, got any info on how to use it?

 

Question to anyone: How can i combine multiple meshes into one model with the skinning intact?

I want one actor model in 3dsmax to make animations but i don't know how to combine the multiple GTAIV player meshes or multiple GTAIV ped meshes into one model with rigging.

I can't seem to get bippy working on 3ds Max 2014, everything else works great on it though. What version of Max do you all have running?

Wonder if anyone managed to get Kinect mocaps to convert to IV WADs...

Send me your Kinect please. I'm tired to use 2 cameras for mocap.

I don't have one, but I'm curious as to whether it would work for IV animations.

[Frank.s 831]

How many kinect cameras are required to get good mocap? Once kinect mocap is captured to a file, how good is the quality of it after conversion to IV?

You can use one kinect for qualitative mocap.

Are you going to add importing animation suport?

No, but openFormats I/O can import animations

[elMarcoPL 132]

A'ight, thanks for the reply.

Thanks Wesser.

I finally got bippy working, but I'm also not sure how to use it. I have my SA animation playing in 3ds Max and don't know where to go from here.

[Frank.s 831]

I want one actor model in 3dsmax to make animations but i don't know how to combine the multiple GTAIV player meshes or multiple GTAIV ped meshes into one model with the original rigging and without having to re-rig it manually.

 

I couldn't get bippy working so i used Wessers script.

Here's a quick vid of a rough conversion of a crackhead anim with no tweaking/fixing and possibly bad bone selection: Link (right click > save as or just click it and hope your browser will load the mp4 )

That looks great! I'll try to figure out how to use Wesser's script for now then.

Nice,

 

Can I ask what is the difference between version 0.9 and 1.0?

1) Added UV animation export

2) Added TV Anim Helper for creating tv-animation

[quechus13 156]

How does the Type128 Helper work and what is it for?

 

it is not explained anywhere.

[Limiter 22]

TV anim helper? What is TV animations, I think I am misunderstanding something here.

You can make a short cilip playing on a surface, sort of like a GIF. Without using the game's BIK system. It's probably easier for most people.

THANKS THANKS THANKS

[AndrewMulti 20]

Updated!

Animation files can import to OpenIV 1.5 and higher only.

 

Cutscene test with Kinect:

[Limiter 22]

Thanks Andrew, that was quick.

[D T 1,885]

That video was incredible! Did you tweak the animation a bit or did it look that good straight from kinect?

[quechus13 156]

Seems like I got ignored...
