===[COMMITTED]=== Horse Update

[Alexandermb]

Included in the Blend file:

• Rider animations.
• Rein animations.
• Horse animations.
• Weapons and Shields (Including crossbow).
• All armors and blankets.
• Have textures attached so it won't end looking pink.
• Have the byzantine cataphract cloth armor i've made too in case people want to make a texture for a full body armor they will have the UV's and the mesh for testing.

• This is how will be seen when open:

  Spoiler

  

  Red: Legs
  Green: Belly
  Turquoise: Tail
  Purple: Spine.
  Yellow: Knee's and shoulder helpers.
  Blue: Head (Green on head are Ears).
  
  For exporting an animation after baking using the action capture tool, selecting the whole armature is needed (What is seen first is the helpers i've made for make the animations) This is the whole armature selected:

  Spoiler

  

  The two dots under the armature capes are for the props, they aren't needed for baking actions neither the 3rd one, thats for configurations of hoofs rotation.
  
  For baking attack long animations FPS is needed to be set in "32".
  
  Some actions aren't needed and are just placeholders or are broken feel free to delete them if want to.

Didn't have enough time to test the whole animations, so if anyone test them ingame and see something weird, i'm open to suggestions.

@LordGood I'm not sure Enrique will answer.

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

I ping Enrique because I know for sure he is working on horse animations too.

[LordGood]

Pretty sure he wont anytime soon, he's last known to have been working on the horses though. had a pretty amusing way of making death animations lol. That said I'm more than a little wary of touching the mesh or skeletons themselves, just in case he comes back with some work for us. Lord knows that unit upgrade was given to us all at once

I'm assuming the skeletons and vertex groups are still intact or things would already be acting weird. Sounds compatible but without thorough testing I can't be sure

Oh great then  Glad it could be of any use

@Alexandermb I love everything with horses, so I definitely like this  Could we perhaps see some quick video's or a collage of video's of your new animations?

And if the pc won't explode in the process, last time i've made the drekkar gif's the recorder + gif's web page consumed the whole cpu (AMD Sempron 145 Single core 2.80ghz) now i learned to use blender renderer a bit so it will be easier

Why do the legs move, but the body stays in the same position for Attack, or is this some issue with what the camera is focussed on?

[Alexandermb]

The camera is following the rider body, the horse slightly move backwards

[leper]

Could you fix the camera that way it is probably easier to judge as it will be similar to how it will look in-game.

Fixed, that was the only gif made with the camera attached.

Just a thought. You could upload your anims to Sketchfab so that everyone could have a look at the angle they want that would save the render time. Though your internet might not like it.

[leper]

Doesn't looked fixed, unless the legs are meant to move forwards then backwards while the horse body stays in the same place. The others look nice.

[Alexandermb]

Ups! wrong file uploaded now its no longer attached.

The internet won't help here, it's easier make it all offline and just upload the finished files while there's nothing consuming the internet.

[Alexandermb]

There's at least 5 variations:

• Shield (Ready, Generic, Relax)
• No Shield (Ready, Generic, Relax)
• 2 Handed (Ready, Generic, Relax)
• Archer (Ready, Relax)
• Javelin (Ready)

I need some reference for walking animations for the riders when trotting because mine's i feel them a bit lifeless and want to make them fluid and realistic, and i'm making another variant for the small shields like the iberian_spearman_E like this one:

Too bad Enrique's streams are not staying for long on twitch, you could have watched them... If he ever makes more, they should be uploaded to youtube...

[Sundiata]

@Alexandermb Nice...!

[serveurix]

for walk relax I would have him holding his spear only in the right hand, perhaps having it rest against his shoulder

[Lion.Kanzen]

I forgot.. the alternate two-handed (lancer cavalry)
