[GAUGING INTEREST] Ladder Motion Capture Animation Pack

Motus_Digital · June 12, 2015, 4:03am

Hi all,
Originally posted this over in WIP, thought it might get more views in this forum instead. Thanks to those who have already checked it out and responded.

We have some solid basic ladder data we captured a while back. Discussion in our Ninja 01 Mocap Pack post showed interest in quality “air” animations (ladders, wall climbing, etc.) and specifically ladder motion we might have in the archives already. Found it. The actor is Brandon, one of our Ninjas.

We’d like to see if there’s enough interest to process these out to a polished pack for the Market. We will likely make the standing pose match the Ninja Pack so it can be a seamless addition.

Good solid set of captures to pull a set of animations from. Including:

idle(s),
ascent loop,
descent loop,
stand to ascend,
descend to stand,
stand backwards to descend,
stand forwards to descend,
ascend to stand,
jump off to stand, (jump off, air loop, landing)
jump off to stand 180, (jump off, air loop, landing)
run to jump on

If you’ve never looked at cloud data before, trust me it makes more sense in motion.
Please check out the video of the raw marker data here:

Would you like to see these as an animation pack? Please let us know and show your interest and support with comments. If we get enough show of hands we’ll process and edit them into a nice pose matched set of motions for the Marketplace.

Please let us know any other animation packs you’d like to see as well, we’re all ears!

Thanks,
Cris

Hi, have you published climb animations?

Motus_Digital · June 29, 2017, 5:34pm

Ah, no not yet. Those came up again the other day, so yes I would like to get them made! And not with a crazy price. So many other things have been taking rank, but thanks for the reminder.

On that subject, big announcement later today, our new Multiplayer TPS Blueprints are coming out shortly, and the FREE full playable demo map will be available immediately and playable over Steam with up to eight players!

Stay tuned please…

Looks good, when my ladder system is out ill make sure to make a tutorial to show people how to apply this pack to it.

Motus_Digital · June 29, 2017, 7:20pm

Great, thanks! It won’t be anything extensive, but it will have the basics shown in the data video broken up into its loops and transition components. Should be a solid set.

FYI I’m fixing a few minor last minute bugs with our MP TPS demo, should make a forum post and have it available later today. I put a lot of time into make it enjoyable and entertaining, should be a fun level to play! Personal bias noted.

wow this dates back haha nice work.

Motus_Digital · March 31, 2021, 2:43am

Yes, it’s an oldie. Besides other delays (life etc.) it turned out more complex than I anticipated to make everything function together well and number of animation pieces, and I thought one “size” was too limiting, certainly for folks doing quality cinemas and not procedurally hacking/altering the movement in an animation “system”. Plus, having 3 very different size “rises” makes for more choices as a starting point for a procedural system, I would assume.

BTW - sent you a PM.
