Nice try. I still remember watching the moon landings...

Richard, once again thanks for releasing the BIP files as well as the FPSC Source Code. Soon you will see by doing that what "take the ball and run" with actually means by what I will be bringing to the table because of you and your company.

Thanks!

quick question

i have 3ds max 7 but have never even installed it, i do have maya and have have used that a couple of times, built a lovely little temple i did.

i can't be bothered to trawl through all these posts about software piracy so basically can i use maya instead of 3ds max and it will be the same in principle?

TGC did something nice for 3Dsmax users. And I don't think anyone shoved it in his face, people were just wondering if this was relevant to them (mostly not, unfortunately).

In any case the bones are in MS3D format now so if you can use that your apples.

Or you can buy Fragmotion which imports models fine.

I'm not sure about C4D but it should import/export dx already. If not, here's an exporter which might work.

You can go here ans ask Psionic about it. He uses C4D for games.

It seems to me too much time and energy is being spent discussing the issue of creating and animating new characters by FPSC users. I mean, let's face it folks, the majority of FPSC users are not going to spend the time learning how to use 3DS Max or any other 3D character creation/animation software. Have we forgotten what FPSC is? It's a drag-n-drop FPS game maker. The reason you make a product like this is for people who don't want to, can't afford to, or don't have the time to learn a programming language or to model and animate from scratch. My hats off to those extremely limited few FPSC users who can do all those things, but the cold hard reality is that they represent .001 of the total FPSC user base.

What we need is more pre-made packs of animated characters and objects. Period. It's not rocket science for god's sake. The majority of FPSC users want more resources for their games. What are their choices? 1. Spend $3000 on 3DS Max and spend a year learning how to use the damn thing ---or--- 2. Send $50 to TGC for a new pack of characters and models that they simply have to drag-n-drop into their game levels, which is exactly why they bought the damn software in the beginning!

My point? Simple. Releasing the animation files and the source, and all that other bullcrap does absolutely nothing for the majority of FPSC users. It's useless. It's my opinion that TGC needs to spend less time catering to the elite few around here and start providing what the majority of users want...easy to use, drag-n-drop resources at a reasonable price.

Create a skeleton: command tab panel>create tab>systems>biped
select a bone, go to command tab panel>motion tab>Biped rollout
Make sure figure mode is inactive (stick-man icon should not be
illuminated), click load file (yellow folder icon), choose the bip file from
its location and click OK.
Thats it.
When figure mode is active .fig files can be loaded in the same way.

Hey, a very rich friend of mine just got me Max 7 AND charichter shop (were talking $5.7 millionare), and I had the idea that it would be REALY cool if you guys relesed standard weapon sceletons. Just basics so we could make them specific.

I may not be good in school, may not hae had a girl for a while, ma not had a social life in years, BUT I"M STILL THE ONLY ONE IN SCHOOL WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE GAMES!!!

I do have experience animating in 3ds max, but I have a few questions about using this biped file.

1. Can I attach a character mesh using the "skin" or "physique" modifier, or will both work?

Does the biped and mesh need to be grouped before export? This X format is new to me and I'm not sure of the requirements for getting it to export correctly.

for 3ds Max:

Create a BIPED. Open the FIG to make the BIPED skeleton the same size and shape as the skeleton used for FPSC characters. Throw the BIP file onto the resized skeleton.

OR

Making a fighter character: Make a mesh. Make a bone. Add PHYSIQUE to the mesh. Select the BONE as the NODE for PHYSIQUE. Add a FIRESPOT polygon and attach it to your where the character holds a gun. Using PHYSIQUE allows you to export with PANDA, though that is some finicky crash-a-lot software IMO. I am using 3ds Max 8 and Quest3D's .X exporter for MAx 6, installed in Max 8 plug-in folder. Seems to work fine, allowed me to get The Postman and Duck Nukem in the game as enemies so far...

go to my site, http://trepaning.com, there are video tutorials for characters for Unreal 2004 and Doom 3/Quake 4, the vids are VERY BASIC character building and are for 3ds Max, including using Physique and Skin.

Thankyou, I appreciate that you guys uploaded this... Now when I buy this, considering I already have character studio + 3ds max (messing up, but can be fixed), I can create my own characters with ease!

1. Is it possible to change character models AND animations that have already been made?

(Not related to this, but still).

Misewell ask now...

2. Ermm, is it easy to change the sounds for the guns? The pre-models look great, but the sounds are... slow... Is this just the demo, and can it easily be changed?

I wish I was only 3400 years old...

If you know how to use Character Studio, you can change anything you want. For my game, I've made custom animations inluding crawling, limping, being blown up by a grenade, and being hurtled backwards 25 feet. And also LOTS of death sequences.

If I'm not mistaken I thought Milkshape would import or a utility had been written to import Character Studio files into Milkshape?
Am I wrong?

SkyCubes:

I agree too much time is spent discussing how to create original characters. It seems to me that that just underscores the difficulty of actually doing it. I think most people would make their own characters if they could. I'm hoping EZCharacter is released eventually, but I don't think that's an animation tool really. I'd really like to try out FPSC or Riker9, but not until I see more original models and characters from the average user. I could've learned to program, but I learned to model. If I can't get my own models into an engine then what good does it do me?

Just a quick clarification on the topics title. When you say "released" is it just for use within TGC projects, or could we make a sellable model pack useing the animations? If we did would royalties need be paid to TGC or would this have to be sold strictly on TGC's site? Sorry for the bother, I just kinda need to know. I just don't want to break any TGC legal guidlines.Thanks.

Good questions since a license agreement was not included within the zip file to download.

TBH I don't see how they could or would stop you using the animations freely with your own media - it'd be counter-productive to stop people in any way from contributing perfectly working media to FPSC. TGC simply wouldn't have released the files if they didn't want you to use them fully, like they're uploaded to make media creation a lot more straightforward, that's all. TGC are on the ball when it comes to legallities, really, if they expected any sort of royalty, then they would have stated that.

OK cool, I am officially stateing that I will create my own models, and rig them to the FPSC skeleton, and sell them.(I'll still do freebies from time to time just to be cool). So if TGC has a problem with that, PLEASE speak up now. AS I said I don't want any legal issues in the future, and I'd be more than willing to give royalties if need be to TGC or even sell them on TGC if nessecary.

adjusts the fpe file in one of these sections to 180.
rotx0 = 0
roty0 = 0
rotz0 = 0
this is fairly common in 3ds files. More than likely it will be rotx0.
EDIT- accually get fragmotion, its cheap and you can alter the model before putting it in FPSC.
