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
We're still working on the Gewehr 1898 German rifle: adding more detail, UV unwrapping the mesh to apply texture via a texture painting app, then baking it all into the final game asset. Since this is so close to the camera, the quality needs to be high.
Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
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.
I won!? Still not sure I believe it! I'm still playing on the PS1, so this will be a huge upgrade for me! Now I can't say I've haven't won anything, anymore! Thanks so much to the Game Jolt!!!!
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!
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
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.
Behind the scenes look at the first person modeling and animation. While the soldier won't be seen, hands and arms (and sometimes feet) will be. So we can cull out the body in first person-only model to make it more efficient.
