thnx dude, long time ago i already knew, but i forgot and now i'm doing endorphin again and now i remeber :P 5/5

AHHH i see your using the lowtech ( noobs ) way of doing things.. You will get far better results doing this the proper way. Use 2 characters and a motion transfer event. That way you have the exact same amount of forces applied to guy 2 as guy1, but you can the apply other events on top, even behavior events. And it will still interact with the environment and other characters.

?? didn't get it. :)

@Nobby76 if your so smart then make a video noob

[Nobby76]

@kowmandudething

Yeah i do like to think i'm smart, well smart enough to watch the tutorial videos on the endorphin website and know how to do this correctly. Go to the Downloads section of the NaturalMotion website... vids 12,13 and 14 ( the last 3 vids ) will show you exactly how to do this correctly. One easy effect to do is getting bumped. use a run cycle and put something in the way shoulder height, as he runs past it he will hit his shoulder off of it and look like he got bumped.

[Nobby76]

Also when doing it the way your supposed to. If your doing something like free running. when you make them jump, they are following the animations jump so it leaps with the same force and when you land or grab, the character will have that little bounce in his body, so you get proper impacts too. whenever i do animation i do it twice, once to make it, second time to run it through motion transfer to give it that realistic body/gravity movments you get each time a foot lands or you jump etc.

i tested this out, it worked, but the only downside, when i did "jump", you cant jump for crap ):

[Pivotfreakdx]

OMG thx alot!!!!!! Now i can do a martial kick and make it hit ppl, lol

[Darkology123]

i cant set the strength to 100... only 1.0

[samushi3]

hmm... make sure u've done everything like in the video

[samushi3]

it should work with all animations. make sure u've set the strength to 100

[reidar21]

that dont work on walk but it work on run...

[gwf619]

THX A LOT

[hamoan66boi]

thx now i can make objects interact with him instead of waiting untill the end of the simulation *teers of joy*

[j213n]

i have a problem, i did all you told me too do, it worked but now all the sim char does is float around instead of doing the action

[samushi3]

Did you set the strength to 100?

[b7i7l7l7y7]

THANK YOU! *bows down*

[ebrahim23]

I know you did a vid on how to make a ref charecter animate I may sound like an idiot but how do u make a simulate character animate?

[samushi3]

With the same way. u can do it with any character

[fartingfun]

how do you blend a jump and dive with run?

[samushi3]

Dunno

[garypipi]

i think u just change the time of the jumping thingy

[peyto]

yea, it has alot to do with timing

[xxPetexx]

ironman made this thing up... i think well good that u made a tutorial cos so many ppl have asked that from me

[lauwla]

yeah now they also effect mass objects and you can just start hy right klick on timeline then klick create simulation event

[chain07]

oh so this is advice i should use haha :D

[Tumumusa]

Pretty cool and easy to learn

[JEJETSU]
