[QUOTE=CDJO;45231108]Well I changed the petting to down his neck,[video=youtube;8mCr50a43kg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mCr50a43kg&feature=youtu.be[/video] and about Archimedes wings being too spread out, sadly the closed wings is a separate model so i thought a decent compromise would be his wings resting on medic's hand. So anything else, every bit helps![/QUOTE]

don't move his pelvis when he strokes it, it doesn't look quite right. Stick to the chest area for emphasizing the strokes.

Something about the two finger-stroking doesn't look right to me either.

Also another idea for this: Medic grabs Archimedes by the body and proceeds to point directly in front of him, then starts humping Archimedes, implying that he's going to fuck whoever he's pointing at.

God, I wish I could animate. I'd make some of the most fucked up taunts imaginable :v:

[QUOTE=chowder908;45232616]Hi, i'm new to the this TF2 modding stuff and decided to try taunt mods.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UcxLERa.gif[/IMG]
Right now this is what I got. Trying to get the basic things down before I do the hands and other things.
I just wanna know what you guys think for a first timer. :/

Anyone know ways on making the animations looking less choppy?[/QUOTE]

Don't start with a walk, walks are hard

I don't know if blender has a graph editor but if it does learn to use it.

3d animation is all about subtlety, every part should move even if it's miniscule, people will notice a robotic static movement

Try recording yourself performing the action and watching it to see how each part of your body moves

[Yikes!]

hey everyone, lets get baked

up for texturing. I'm going to do one tube because I have a very specific idea, but if anyone wants to texture this launcher, it's free to be done,

Oh we're posting wips of taunts are we? Well here's a really early wip of the backscratcher taunt someone mentioned a while back. I still dont know if it should straight out kill them, stun then kill them, or just stun.

Haven't animated the fingers yet, I probably shouldn't have showed you guys until I was closer to being done but eh.

Nice to see that taunts are being made. How about that neck-snap, then?

Some daft Bread Badge idea I had.[/QUOTE]

I like it! It should be more square I think or more bread shaped if you're catching my drift.

It looks like a bagel, and bagels aren't square.

Alright,I took several of y'alls critiques to heart. Hopefully this is an improvement [video=youtube;w02MaXNgFOY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w02MaXNgFOY&feature=youtu.be[/video]

[QUOTE=Zero_;45232188]So the new Blender update adds "The new per-face normals feature allows blender to display and export sharp edges correctly without geometry duplication."
What does that means? In regards to smoothing, I mean.[/QUOTE]

if you export a model as fbx, your models smoothing wont disconnect the mesh in other 3d programs.

Really good now. My only complaint now would be the foot movment at the end. Rather then move the foot twice at the end, just do it once when returning the right foot to the default position. Also, I wouldn't have the medic stomp in order to return the foot. Just do something gradually and subtle.

Looks great man. Remember with the step at the end, if he's putting his foot back, make it point downward, and the opposite for moving his foot forward.

Well, for a start, you can look at this video on how to do a moonwalk.
[video=youtube;E_FzgtLVzbI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_FzgtLVzbI[/video]
It should give you an idea on how a moonwalk is initiated.

I 'm trying to base it off this

at the 0:48 mark
I tried taking screen shots of the movement

I may work on it later I think I see how the feet movement should go.

Remember when I told you that the lack of animations on his legs would make the taunt boring?

Boy, was I wrong. You completely managed to do it in an awesome manner. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of movement and little time to do them as it kinda was before. It has the same feel of the Meet the Medic taunt.

Of course my original idea was to have Medic calling Archimedes just to strike a pose while saying a taunt line to an enemy, but at this point I would love it just being a cute taunt as it is. I think it won't even need lines if Medic just whisper something to Archimedes like he does in the MvM trailer, which is a good thing, since we don't know if Valve will allow custom lines to workshop taunts.

[Mort Stroodle]

Can anybody direct me to a tutorial on converting SFM animations into a usable, testable, ingame format? I've figured out how to decompile *class*_animations.mdl, but I don't know how to convert my animation to a .smd, or how to recompile it. Any help is appreciated.

Ask someone for a better AO bake from Maya or 3D Max. Blender's AO bakes tend to suck a bit. Would look even better

Oh, well if its a bagel then I get it, I thought it was a loaf of bread or like a piece of bread.
