Every moving piece has to have a bone that pivots, rotates, scales or moves in order to move the mesh, or geometry that it controls. Bones in 3D can stretch and don't have to be rigid. I probably didn't need to animate the trigger since you won't see it!
Next up
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
Debug lines! Testing firing-ranges and damage fall off from distance, as well as targeting various groups of enemies with a bit of chaos mixed in.
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
Need to add a bit more variation in my death animations since they just fall forward or backward. Death isn't this neat and tidy.
Animated with the Lee-Enfield rifle. Almost ready to put this into the game so we can remove the default hand. It's not 100% but beats the robot hand. Let me know what you think!
Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
Maybe not enough various in the death animations?
First pass at the German Mauser 1898, one of the common rifles used early in World War 1. This is a step towards creating our German soldier. We have the AI, now part of the rifle. Next will be modeling and animating the soldier.
Lots of technical difficulties are popping up, from dead computers to engine crashes. But we're still making progress! Here's a sneak peak at one of the latest levels being developed.
