That looks great I am glad you decided to make it animated, it has animate me written all over it.

Small update to the ATPT, added details and change legs up a bit so they would animate properly. As well I have a bad habit of wanting things to work properly mechanically even though iit is only a model and I can make it do anything I want. Curse this realism thing.

Fraps squished it a bit, dumb wide screen.

Woa , perfect

Here's a little teaser for a map WIP that I may put up later on today! Look forward to it! It's gonna have an art style that is unlike anything made in Battlefront ever before!

that looks very nice abyss

@TNA very nice looking, nice flow, can't wait to see it textured.

First look at ATPT walk cycle slowed down a bit in XSI for viewing purposes.

Well FragMe, I may let you down when I say that it kinda won't be textured in a traditional sense..... You'll see when I put up the WIP thread maybe tonight or tomorrow......

Anyway, your walk cycle looks excellent, but I think the feet could be lifted a little higher and then land with more "impact." I hope you know what I mean.

EDIT: To give you a better idea of how much I paid attention to map flow and balance (it was actually the reason I created this map, the interesting art style came second ) Here is a top down picture with the very basic paths. Red lines are paths and blue dots are planned command posts:
I also took a very non-linear approach to it too, which is abnormal in Battlefront maps. I've already tested a very basic version of it, and it's a lot of fun.

I always loved little comments on something which is so incredibly hard to pull off we can be pleased to even witness it..

GREAT work Bert, looks perfect.. as usual

I don't think I understand your comment. Are you saying that keyframe animation is hard, or are you saying that getting the custom walker with animations in-game is hard? The former is not hard (though it is time consuming to make it look realistic). I agree that getting a custom walker in-game is "incredibly hard" but I'm simply making suggestions as to how he could make the animation better.

I've always loved little comments that suggest that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I do.....

I'm so glad you do

Please stop sniping at each other. It's not necessary, oh and it's Christmas, so play nice.

MandeRek - comments of a nitpicky nature aren't inherently disrespectful to an author - it's clear that The Nasal Abyss was just trying to contribute.
The Nasal Abyss - if you feel that someone has misunderstood you, it would be best to clear it up in a PM.

@TNA I actually kind of figured you were going to texture it differently based upon your original post.
For the walker, as mentioned it was first look at the walk cycle, but probably won't go any higher (well maybe to the top of the front toe thing at the most) if you look at the other walkers their feet don't go so high either. The impact thing maybe able to just change the slope or add a little dip on the lower leg near the end to make it look like it hit harder.

@MandeRek thanks for the compliment buddy always good to here from you. Merry Christmas.

Edit: Updated movie link with a bit more stomp

omg very nice. your anims are turning out well.
