Rayman: Revenge of the Dark

[ParadoxJuice]

Interesting physics, with the rock. Will it later on explode upon impact?

Yup, I've done an animation for it already. The only problem is right now I've tried making it explode, but the exploding animation keeps the rock separated when he throws another one, so it looks like he throws invisible rocks after the first one.

Are his gosh darned exploding bits of rock going to be as annoying in 3D?

No, I didn't make the exploding parts hurt you. They just smash into pieces. It's not the kind of thing you can implement into 3D too well.

Ugh, I don't get how to animate models in 3Ds Max at all

What part of the animating are you having problems with?

Well, most with creating multiple animations within a model.

[Rayman fan2000]

Rayfan do you have a voice of Rayman jumping? If you don't i can send you one.
(btw its mah birthday today )

What are you trying to animate may I ask? Is it made up of separate objects or is it a ripped model?

Happy birthday.

Yes I do. I have the sounds from Rayman 2 and 3. But I plan to make new ones instead of recycling old sounds.

[Rayman fan2000]

K, but how will you make sounds of Rayman if you're a girl? Or are you good at doing Rayman's voice wait WHAT?!

I'm trying to animate a ripped Sonic model, which is made out of several parts, but still in the same group.

Uh...Rayfan's a boy...

Ooh someone not looking at the signs next to names?
Also go to Models resource to get loads of Sonic models or just search.

[PluMGMK]

RayFan is a transgender - physically a boy, mentally a girl.

Seriously, I know his first name, and I'm 100% sure he's a boy.
And, oh yeah, I use Models Resource to get models, there's some pretty sweet ones there.

Don't ever say that again.
Seriously you scared the molys out of me.
Why does the sign even show just a girl on Rayfan's name if....but....OH WHAT?!

Pfft, relax. Some people show their fake gender for some reason. I dunno Rayfan's reason though...
Oh, btw, Happy Birthday

Yup, he is. I'm a little unsure of what Plum meant...

[Jewish Candy]

What Plum said is the truth. Rayfan is indeed transgender. You guys are both quite new, so check back through this topic and you'll find some answers.

[iHeckler9]

So sorta like a tomboy...but the other way around.

[Jewish Candy]

Perhaps with a tad more gravitas than simply 'reverse tomboy'.

[Rayman fan2000]

...I might aswell just stick to Blitz sonic if this forum gets too weird...

[Hedgehog673]

Okay, I get it now.
I think I already read that part of this topic, which is good, since finding it again would nearly be hopeless

[Adsolution]

Okay lemmy clear this up:

I technically am a boy named Cody right now (but don't ever call me that), but I'm transsexual, so I'm requesting that changed. I've already started taking hormone blockers, and in three months I'll start taking Estrogen injections every four weeks for the next two years (it reshapes your body to make a girl look like girls aside from organs). Then after that I'll be having the surgery and I'll be the new Cheryl. In short, I'm female.

Also Hedgehog673, try not to deny what the older members are saying, if Jewish says I'm a Transgender, then I'm a transgender.

Now that in relation to voice acting:
I originally sounded like a boy, but I've also had training to change my voice to be exactly as a girl's would sound, so in actuality I can sound like either now if I wanted to do some voice acting or maybe a little joke. I can also do a large variety of voices, probably enough to do everyone or at least most of the characters in the game. Although I'd like more variety and I wouldn't do that because everyone's voice has a different tone to it, so I'll probably be looking for some voice actors around here when I need them.
Currently I'm thinking of doing the voices of: Moskito, Moskette, Dark Rayman, maybe Raygirl, a couple enemies/civillians, maybe Ly, and maybe Rayman.

Rayman fan2000, don't even think about letting me 'scare' you away somehow.

I'm trying to animate a ripped Sonic model, which is made out of several parts, but still in the same group.

It's harder when you try to animate joints, although not entirely impossible by hand. My suggestion would be to place the centre (where the rotating gizmo would appear) of the object right at the upper joint where it would in reality rotate. Then link each of the seperate limb sections to their upper limb section (such as link the hand to the lower arm, link the lower arm to the upper arm, link the upper arm to the torso, and so on):

---torso
------upper_arm_right
---------lower_arm_right
------------hand_right
------upper_arm_left
---------lower_arm_left
------------hand_left
------upper_leg_right
---------lower_leg_right
------------foot_right
------upper_leg_left
---------lower_leg_left
------------foot_left
------neck
---------head
------------eye_right
------------eye_left
------------mouth
------spine1
------spine2
------spine3

That's how I might organize a sonic model. Each further -> and below "child" object means it's linked to the <- and above "parent" object.
If there's anything you don't get, you can ask.
