True, but not as simple as the body model + hands model solution.
And u have to have a very high poly model for the whole body. Also, u have to use ANM_ADD, what makes animation blending very difficult.

Modeling in high poly is much easier than modeling in low poly..

But i will try to reduce my polycount after finishing the model ( 1 leg has nearly 2k polys atm ).

This is the leg (will so higher details as skin/normal/spectral mapping):


Now i managed this position flip in MED, by toggling the tool properties of, modeling is much easier ^^

lol, what is spectral mapping?

He means specular mapping I guess.
Looks nice.

good idea.

True... I still dont get it in how using ent_blend, and high poly model is needed if you're planning to use it in FPS mode.

The problem with ent_blend and ANM_ADD is that you cant blend single bones as far as I know.
I had the idea of doing it like this:
Dont use ANM_ADD at all, but have a second, invisible model with the same bones and orientation as the player model.
You animate the player models lower half, using ent_blend and stuff, and constantly reset the upper bones.
At the same time, animate the invisible model, read out the bone angles and use ent_bonerotate to kinda "animate" the players arms by hand, using the outread angles of the invisible model.
Dunno if this is clear explained tough.^^

ok..
the plan stands...


1.)
but i´ve some consides of the look of the gameplay.

My game is settlet in 1944, with a great SciFi part and time paradoxes. but it´s still 1944. Hitler, Nazis, SS and Hookcrosses...

I know the amount of all these things from wolfenstein.. But how far can i go, without getting people saing: "What a rassist basterd!"


Any opinions?



2.)
This is my first "Promo" Title. A Photomontage with the Title-model ( the letters+the cross are models ).

What do you think of a Titlescreen like that ( ingame animated and real 3D.. not just a Photo ^^ )?

The "Hit key" text will ingame be shown in the lower right of the screen.
I also plan to place the maincharacter in the right, facing the city, with idle Animation.

I like it.
And to your problem no.1:
Well, I dont think anybody will call you something like that just because you show these stuff... As long as you dont show it in a positive context. If you make clear "this is the enemy, and he is evil", I dont see why people should complain...
The only reason why Hookcrosses and other Nazi signs are removed from the German Wolfenstein versions is that they are kinda illegal, and as your a german developer, THIS could become a problem... Even if you dont sell it...

explained clearly enough for me, its on my "to try" list
