HOLY FUCKING SHIT I JUST WITNESSED THE RAGDOLL PHYSICS AND THAT ROCKS

How did eihrul code it?

And, anyways, the gravity applied to the model seems to be a bit too strong (bind kill to a key, go in third person, stay still and suicide)

Also, there's a slight (about half a second) delay between the moment your health reaches zero and your death.

Also, the camera should follow you faster, really, just a really slight delay is okay (so it's not always in the middle of your screen ;) )

I do not notice friction between ragdoll limbs.

i downloaded the cvs, but i see no option to enable ragdolls???

This is more like I originally wanted it to look.

Ugh, the colors are terrible - I should learn to profile when exporting...

@ Geartrooper:

Sorry, I haven't been able to fit my head around any 3D program yet. But if you could give me a picture of the ragdoll from the front and side, that'd be helpful.

What are the floaty ones under the arms for?

I'd be more concerned about the tail :P

the floaty bones control the rotation of the elbows. that 'tail' is the root bone and torso rotation constraint. :D

Thanks. I'm assuming that the torso bones construct the spine (and not up the center), seeing how the side view is balanced.

Really nice work, both on the model and the new ragdoll physics.

Are the constrains for it based on the md5 specification, e.g. in an additional text file?

The mesh bones and constraint bones are on two separate layers in the 3d app.

The mesh bones control the deformation of vertex and the deformation of some constraint bones;

The constraint bones are subject to and control the twisting, scaling and bending of mesh bones. i.e., The torso bone controls the bending of the entire spinal column[bones Spine1 and Spine2];

The ragdoll is an entirely different skeleton that is mapped to the md5 skeleton, for which you must specify a different set of constraints. I had made an editor for doing it here: http://tunes.org/~eihrul/ragdoll.tar.gz

Hey Gear, what do you think of this: http://tsholden.com/pages/jager.php
(Which is obviously based off of http://lee.fov120.com/snout/10.jpg )

The idea isn't terribly original: a race of Hunters (or Jägers, if you're up on the German language) bred and raised to slaughter Snouts at any cost (referred to as Saubär, or pig-bears). The Saubär Jäger are as ruthless and brutal as the job required them to be, using everything from their teeth and artificial horns to the barbed wire wrapped around their extremities to take down their prey with singleminded intensity. They are renowned for their terrifying ability return to a fight, even after being utterly eliminated by explosive charges.

I decided to use a relatively subdued color scheme (except for the eyes and armor plates, which are supposed to be shiny), in order to contrast more against the glossy Snouts. This would probably have to be changed if the design was ever actually produced. However, this concept does have a few practical compromises: all of the vectors are angular, just as a real model would be, and I've matched to the skeleton of the original pretty closely, so a new rig wouldn't be needed. The sword behind the left shoulder (and the bandoleer that goes with it) is similar to the skull on Mr. Fixit, in that it indicates the shielding on the character.

Thoughts? Things that obviously need addressing? I wasn't trying to make the prettiest concept art, but one that would convey the savagery that I feel would be at home with Sauerbraten.

The storyline is cool. The character is imposing. At the very least it is promising for an SP monster and story plot.

I like it. Now, we're having a third-sided war with the Mr. Fixit clan, the Snout X10k and the hunters :o
