2 handed phalanx

[DAVIDE]

after an hard afternoon work on 3dmax (6 hours at least) i have created the 2 handed phalanx animation!!!!! it's still primitive, shields need to be put well etc but i think i could make it! i try it and it works on game without CTD

[Sidus Preclarum]

nice. how does it behave on the march ?

i m have to realize yet the pose they hold spear in vertical with 2 hands. i m still a rookie on these things. i will work only in phalanx animations tryin to create them brand new. for the other soldiers like romans we have the permission to use signifer one animations

sweet, good job. are those the macedonian royal pikes?

[DAVIDE]

yes!

i m founding a problem. i moved the shield on the right position, i export the animation overwriiting the old one but in game the shield position rest like in the picture. anyone can help me?

[Prof]

the shield is attached to the arm...the animations don't move the polygons...they move the bones

-> edit the shields in the models...not in the animation

i did it but nothin happened

this is how it should be

[Prof]

hmm...and how IS it? (how does it look ingame)

[DAVIDE]

hmm...and how IS it?

this is the LIJ 50 stand to run.cas. in game shield goes fully in front of the soldier coverin the full face too even if i change it everytime. is something hardcoded or i m wrong in a step?

[DAVIDE]

i m sorry i have 56k and imageshack makes so much time to load an image

[Prof]

looks like the shield is just a bit too big...

[DAVIDE]

if i choose the macedonian royal guard who have smaller shield it's gonna do the same thing! shield covering the full face

[Prof]

try moving the shield in the model the way this little veeery professional graphic indicates http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/322/examplejz6.jpg

[DAVIDE]

nothin happened again

[Prof]

really nothing? did you save the model properly? :hmmm:

[DAVIDE]

sure

[Prof]

open it again and see if the shield is still in the right position.
I had that problem sometimes...it just swithched back the instant I deselected the shield again...

[DAVIDE]

i have reloaded that animation and it's still in the right position on 3dmax! i dunno y rtw move it wrong

[Prof]

hmm...sry...I sure could be more useful if I had 3dsmax here right now (the trial doesn't work anymore and I don't want an illegal copy of it)
