Hi all

I've just uploaded this Robot model to my website for download. It was originally made for JetPac2003 but never got used in the end. So I’ve decided to give it away Royalty Free.

It has over 500 frames of animation ranging from .....

IDLE - BREAKOUT - JUMP - TURN - FIRE WEAPON - SWIPE ARM - WALK - WALK + SWIPE - KNEEL DOWN - SPIN AROUND DEATH ANIM

It's available in ( .ms3d + .X + .CFX formats ) and has a 512x512 texture map in .bmp + .dds formats.

Feel free to use it in any games you may make .... but credit would be nice if you do

Just click my logo to go to my web

I've moved house and now I'm renovating it, so I still won't be around much for a while.

And don't think the likes of Raven will be scaring me off. Maybe with this time I've had off will have calmed things down ? Only time will tell

Hello Simple,

Just to let you know, you sure create high quality models as I've seen on your website. Were all these models created with Milkshape 3D? And also do you create custom models and sell them as a pack on a CD ROM?, which I think would be convenient than just buying one.
Keep up the good work on those quality creations!!

Yes, All were created using Milkshape.

And as far as model packs on a CD ROM is concerned ..... it's in the making as we speak but will be downloadable only

Really nice model but, when I loaded robot into Milkshape it did not animate. Any Suggestions?

The ms3d version is not rigged for animation.

If you have CharacterFX, then load up the .CFX file and export it out as a Milkshape 3D ASCII file. Then you can import it into Milkshape complete with it's bone structure etc.

That explains it.

I do not have CharacterFX my trial ran out months ago; I purchased Milkshape & 3D Canvas as well as of course Dark Basic Pro so I am not a complete moocha. I only do this as a hobby so I try to limit how many programs I subscribe to.

It sure would be nice if some organisation would come up with an expandable standard for modeling / animations that the industry would agree on ISO something or another, ah well I guess they feel they can make more money with all these differenet formats

Any chance of your intergrating the animations into the Milkshape format and adding it to the zip?

Great model, Simple.

I'm wondering about animation rates. It's both fortunate and unfortunate that the DirectX format didn't specify an absolute time rate for the animations. By not specifying it, you can assume any meaning you want to the frame times in the animation data. However, it makes it hard for both tool developers like me and art suppliers and users to have some consistency. Microsoft made it even worse by taking a wild jump when moving to their skinned mesh format in the one sample they provided (tiny.x) from the segmented frame retained mode format. They multiplied the resolution by a hundred, as well as apparently using a right-handed coordinate system, and flipping the "up" direction in their axis orientation.

From your experience, what's the most common configuration? Your DirectX format version of your robot uses the skinned mesh format, but uses the lower resolution animation frame timing. Is this the default for CharacterFX? Does DBPro make any assumptions? Maybe I need to standardize on this.

Yes JAT, it's the default for CharacterFX. The anims look and work perfectly within CharacterFX, and once exported to DirectX format ... they also work perfectly in DBpro.

I think the anim speed Van-B coded for it in DBpro was just ( set object speed 1,50 : loop object 1 )

But I have noticed that if I export out of CharacteFX as a Milkshape 3D ASCII file and then load it into Milkshape, it will play the animation really slowly.
