Scrab Render'd Animations

Hey just making some portfolio pieces so i chucked the scrab in there with some nice renders. so far he does 18 animations, some very similar.

we'll be doing multiples of each animation to make them seem more natural. So that 2 scrabs never do exactly the same thing.

Theres a rendered glukkon but its nothing you guys haven't seen before...

So the Scrab has Howl - big
Stomp
Idle1
Idle2
Leap
Jump_dropping down
Turn 180
Sniff (low howl)
Howl Medium
Howl Low
Walk Light
Walk Medium
Attack
Walk Heavy
Die Forward
Die Backward

holla

Varrok · #98 09-23-2009, 09:29 AM

Much better than the previous

More similar to original AO/AE Scrab

Venks · #99 09-23-2009, 04:21 PM

Oh yeah this is awesome. Can't wait to see the Mudokon model when you're done with that.
Oh and the Slig model you're secretly working on because you heard how much I love Sligs. *wink wink*

AlexFili · #**100** 09-23-2009, 11:46 PM

Looks fantastic so far!

Oddey · #**101** 09-24-2009, 04:50 AM

That has got to be one fo the best looking fan animations of a scrab ever. I know there aren't many, but it really does look great.

Software Bug · #**102** 09-24-2009, 05:12 AM

Thanks guys!

really appreciate it

Will be updating the scrabania level soon, It's coming along real nice. Cant yet give you a date for the Scrab Animation Demo 2 but we're working on it

STM · #**103** 09-26-2009, 02:01 AM

=D Will it be autoinstallable or I cant play them! DX

Software Bug · #**104** 09-26-2009, 02:19 AM

Yeah I don't know yet, btw, thats like your 50th post asking that.
There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to play it without installing it, its pretty much the same as extracting the .zip or .rar in your program files directory.

I'm considering re-writing an open source version of the ALIVE engine, reckon it would be a lot of effort to create HD 2d sprites from your 3d renderings

?

Crashpunk · #**106** 09-26-2009, 06:54 AM

What...No...p..p..paul! Your back!!!

Sorry. Loving the 3D Scrab Demo!

Software Bug · #**107** 09-26-2009, 11:58 AM

He is already back for a while I believe

Hey Paul, I like the idea of Griever M3n and I helping you with the Alive Engine, of course Griever M3n would have to give his feedback on this as wel, but if he is ok with it I would be glad to share a work with you, but let's do it in a closed circuit so that none of the files get "leaked". Of course Griever M3n has to give his opinion about this so I'm not promising anything right now

Paul · #**108** 09-26-2009, 01:35 PM

Thats cool, I'm planning on using the original sprites from the game, but dropping some high resolution replacements in later would be awesome

Of course this means a lot of work before I even start because I need to finish reversing the other AO sprite types..

Griever_M3n · #**109** 09-27-2009, 01:33 AM

Yeah man i'd love to help out any way i can, just depends if/when the time is right.
When do you think you'd have the completed Alive Engine up and running?

Paul · #**110** 09-27-2009, 02:17 AM

Completed? Not for quite some time, looking at months tbh

Griever_M3n · #**111** 09-27-2009, 02:20 AM

Sweet deal, I'm in.
Cya then

Paul · #**112** 09-27-2009, 09:03 AM

Yeah I was kinda rushed writing that post, what I also meant to say was I could create some sort of sprite/animation test bed thing so you could play around with it way before the engine code is completed.

STM · #**113** 09-27-2009, 12:01 PM

Hey Tim! =D

Is the game gonna be exactly the same story as oddysee?

Griever_M3n · #**114** 09-29-2009, 12:15 AM

Hey sorry for the lack of words lately kids.

I've got a fully modelled and textured Abe/Mudokon (not much between them besides a texture change) that looks pretty damn familiar.

Now would be the time to explain that i have an artistic style that is not exactly the same as the Oddworld Inhabitants team so the familiar model will look much better in the game but possibly not perfect.

The game is still very much under way model and animation wise. I've also been working on my own portfolio website that I'm sure I'll show you once its up.

I'm way too excited about modelling and animating the Slig now as well. Which is going to be the epitome of fan made win cakes.

Also you might be interested to know, the skirt-like-loin-cloth that Abe and the Mudokons have will be full animated and pretty for your 3d eye candy like pleasure. Also he has over 15 bones in his head alone... unlike the entire Glukkon which is 17 bones. So we'll be able to show you the opening screen very soon (Wow that might be an overestimate but that'd be pretty sweet right?)

Tl;dr - I've been moving slowly because I want Abe to be super duper sweet in the face.

Check out the attachment for some updatage as usual.

Another update in not nearly as long

<3 Griever m3n

PS. So much ODST. (Gamertag is griever m3n for those that want to win the game)

AlexFili · #**115** 09-29-2009, 05:25 AM

That mudokon looks fantastic so far

Griever_M3n · #**116** 09-29-2009, 08:04 AM

Hey i made a film reel for my website by the by,
it has a few new renders of the glukkon and the scrab if your interested but nothing brand new yet.

film reel 2009 - http://www.vimeo.com/6750397

and i totally just nailed the bones in the rig for the mudokon so he can sneak so awesomely.

peace out for now

Almost

As its a true remake, can't reveal to much yet but you will like it

Paul · #**118** 09-29-2009, 03:15 PM

Those animations are nice ;D seems like some have timing problems though? Or what I mean is some are bit too fast, and some seem a bit slow?

Griever_M3n · #**119** 09-29-2009, 05:43 PM

Yeah the laugh and stuff are relatively slow which is fine. the timing is completely manipulatable when we are editing it with audio, which Maya doesn't do very well.

It's all good

Software Bug · #**120** 09-29-2009, 11:57 PM

Yeah we can edit the timing of any animations in the engine so that isn't such a big deal
