Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

I'm working on an attack animation for Robochimp. Currently only the torso moves. It's a punching animation. I'm hoping to be able to use it later on if I'm able to add a new player action in the source code. But I'm just rambling now. Here's the goods.

I feel so awesome.

Any screenshots or vids of this in action I like media!! Thanks for sharing this!! Take care.

PS what is the script you were talking about that helped with this??

you can use /animoverride to have specific animations loop over and over.

I'm not sure which number is attack
you should be able to find the list of animation names inside model.h

I'd love to make a video, but there are no tutorials for Moviecube in the Wiki.

...unless you want Blender footage.

EDIT: Making the legs move realistically is harder than I thought it would be.

I have the last free version of fraps if you want, it is here:

Just record in 640X480 or it will cut off a part of the screen. The downside is it doesn't record audio but if you wanted to add it could with virtual dub or on youtube using audioswap. Take care.

PS the new version of sandbox can record video with /movie

Well, I already have Camstudio and some audio to use, but I want to get a good angle for the animation.

PS I can't find the list of animation names in model.h. Is it not there, or am I just awful at reading C++?

EDIT: For now I guess I'll just use the sidescroller.

UPDATE: I put video showing the animation on Youtube. You can view it here:

Would you be willing to do a tutorial on the steps you took to make this happen? I'm sure a lot of people would be really interested and thanks for posting this!!! Take care.

NOTE: You're gonna need both Blender and Python installed to pull this off. It is also assumed that you have Sandbox.

Step 1 - Download the file from: http://cube.wikispaces.com/file/view/bl ... 5_2_09.zip
Don't forget to go to
C:/Program Files/Blender Foundation/Blender/.blender/scripts/
and put the files in there.

Step 2 - Import the md5mesh of Robochimp using your new Python script. ( Or whatever character you want to animate. )
Remember to save the mesh as a .blend file unless you enjoy importing things.

Step 3 - Animate. If you don't know how to do this, look up a tutorial or something. I, personally, learned from the book The Essential Blender. When you're done, SAVE AS A SEPERATE .BLEND FILE!


Step 4 - Make a copy of one of the .md5anim files. Rename it to match whatever animation you just did. ( For example, rc_attack.md5anim )


Step 5 - Export your animation to that file and enjoy.

If you have any questions, either PM me or find me on Skype.
( My Skype name is "gobologna". )

How's that for a tutorial?

You rock man! Thanks so much for doing this! I'm going to have to link this from the wiki and/or paste it over Thanks again!!!
