Developer animation question: Not bitmap manipulation 1 year, 2 months ago #22350

plainhavoc ( User ) NOW ONLINE Know More then Admins Therians never die, their spirit is immortal Posts: 793	I'm looking for limits, frames, etc or a tutorial on how to go about animating an object for there, similar to Jinxed_Karma's sign here What are the frame limits, etc for something like this? I am attempting to do something like a short assembly line like in a factory, but not sure how to go about it creating it for use in There.

Jinxed_Karma's sign uses material animation. This may help you determine if material animation can help you achieve the effect you are looking for. THERE Material Animation

plainhavoc ( User ) NOW ONLINE Know More then Admins Therians never die, their spirit is immortal Posts: 793	Oh wow Greenie, Thank you! It looks like the sign model is actually in the three positions. 1 in LOD0, 2 in LOD1, etc. Is the "loop" set to actually rotate between the LOD's or something? This is where I am getting confused between the model aspect, and the bitmap I guess.

Just a note that you will need to use the Wayback link to access the info behind the first of the links at the bottom of the wiki page:
