Blender FPS

[collin4206]

can you do a fps tutorial just on the basics of the python and animation? many people want a decent fps tutorial. i have the modelling skills i just don't know the technical stuff behind any games other than a simple maze game or platform game

[laxwolf]

@collin4206 There's a lot of helpful tutorials already. The best thing you can do is find out for yourself since a lot of this stuffed is simply found by trying out new things. Sorry!

[spellinganimals]

Best blender fps I've seen.

[Kaitsu02]

Nice!

[mixinghoney]

Better than Cod Mw3 :D

[TheDj245]

@laxwolf how do you made the rain?

[laxwolf]

@TheDj245 Textured planes fall from empties...?

[TechnoStickmen]

your sound dynamics are untouchable!

[Raxe88]

Wow! Now I see why did you make all that models! Very very nice! If you release it I'll be the first to play it xD

[waj171]

Good but way to much recoil

[SugaredBacon117]

That's awesome

[DivinityStudio]

how did you make that helmet overlay? :3 is it a texture or model? Looks amazing :D

[laxwolf]

@DivinityStudio Texture :3 Thank you!

[DivinityStudio]

@laxwolf very nice, I may use that for my project :O if it is okay with you of course ;) I will give you full credits :D

[laxwolf]

@DivinityStudio Not sure, I'll think about it though!

[DivinityStudio]

@laxwolf ok :) well we need a gui menu and that looks an interesting way ^^ but I fully understand :)

[MockingBirdZA]

oh and please make a tutorial for animations pls cuz when i make a animation of kickback and i aim i cant shoot cuz it goes out of aim :)

[laxwolf]

@MockingBirdZA Um, you shouldn't parent the empty that fires the rounds to the gun that animates. My rig includes a set of empties (for walking, shooting, ect.) That all connect to a parent.

[MockingBirdZA]

incredible bro :) how do you make AO on everything? :) nodes? script?

thenks :)

[laxwolf]

@MockingBirdZA You bake the AO to a texture. Go to the render panel, go to bake, and select AO.

[2009MachineGun]

damnit you're awesome! I would definatly pay for that game even tho its not even finished! :D

[laxwolf]

@2009MachineGun Haha, thanks! We'll see where it ends up.

[DEADDUCKGAMES]

Wow looks very fun and i like how the sounds change. from inside echo to outside singleshot

[prisat32]

coolest bge graphics and models

[laxwolf]

@prisat32 Thank you!

[d3sertst0rm]

hey i know this isn't a realistic fps (probably a sci-fi?) but i think the lens flare is a little much. If he were a person it wouldn't be like that if you saw it through your eyes :? just sayin

[laxwolf]

@d3sertst0rm It's really intense at the moment because there's no influence on its visibility. I turned control off for testing purposes. It won't always be right in your face at full intensity.

[DemolishR94]

Dude you better not let go of this project!

[laxwolf]

@DemolishR94 We'll see where it goes. I'm planning on going as far as I can with this project. Thanks though!

[merccc1]

how do you come up with the ideas for the details of the vehicle Is there somewere you read to get better ideas for what to add or something ?

[laxwolf]

@merccc1 Well, I came up with all the models straight from my imagination. No references on any of them. I say, know what you want to make whether it's a truck, car, building, or barrel, and work until it's how you pictured it in your head. References kill your creativity because you end up making what you are referencing instead of what you want.

[SuperBlueElephants]

BETTER HAVE DEMO SOON

[laxwolf]

@SuperBlueElephants I will. I work a little everyday so I'll have something soon enough.

[SuperBlueElephants]

@laxwolf good oh and want any logos or any thing ill make them for ya

[laxwolf]

@SuperBlueElephants Thanks, I might ask. I'm going to make a logo soon and maybe you could improve it later.

[SuperBlueElephants]

@laxwolf yeah

[naardeark]

Start the texturing lol I love this project

[laxwolf]

@naardeark Haha, I will. Thanks a lot!

[thevladdo]

good luck with it - if you're going to develop this seriously, I would suggest having a bit less recoil with the firing animation (the weapon clips into the screen when aiming), and editing the mask on the screen to be a bit less bulky, imo it would annnoy people while playing.

[laxwolf]

@thevladdo Thanks. I will make two variations of the recoil for hip fire and iron site. The one you see here is an intense recoil animation to make it noticeable from the hip. The random recoil spread and anim will still be there, but the gun rock back animation with vary. The clip occurs because of an issue with the camera distance clip which I will try to figure out soon so they mask overlay has to be a bigger distance than I'd want from the camera.

[laxwolf]

@thevladdo The rifle is very close because I don't want it clipping into the walls. There's an animation that realistically presses the gun against the wall instead of going straight in. I like the hud but it is bound to change. I'm not developing this game seriously as it's almost practice for modeling and texturing.

[sanfelipe007]

I think i have an erection Dude..ITS EPIC!!

[laxwolf]

@sanfelipe007 Thanks...? haha.

[sanfelipe007]

@laxwolf Youre...Welcome  xD

[brokpowell]

dude the best blender game ive seen but i recon theres to much recoil

[laxwolf]

@brokpowell Yeah, there's going to be a second animation for first person. The real recoil is different than the animation.

[d3sertst0rm]

Dude thats amazing!

[laxwolf]

@d3sertst0rm Thank you!

[WeatbixZ]

You always make amazing things with blender :D

[laxwolf]

@WeatbixZ Thank you very much :D

[Kenn0090]

Awesome and looks pretty fancy to me lol

[amuddypizza]

dude, sick. great models! love the sound. How'd ya do the echo thing? again, awesome, but i suppose you knew that...

[laxwolf]

@amuddypizza Thanks! The echo is just the normal gun shot edited in Audacity with an echo effect. It plays when the empty has a ray to something above it instead of the normal gun shot.

[amuddypizza]

@laxwolf cool. thanks!

[UprisingOfTheYawn]

awesome



[laxwolf]

@UprisingOfTheYawn Thank you!

[d123s404]

Great work man! This is probably the best fps I've seen in blender. : )

[laxwolf]

@d123s404 Thank you! Not yet, but soon!

[corrupted111]

looks great love the tower and the building.

[laxwolf]

@corrupted111 Thanks! 

[Tinak00777]

even with out the glsl mode the oa or w/e make it look nice still :)

I want to know how u did that rain too btw XD

[laxwolf]

@Tinak00777 Thank you! The rain is really simple. Empties are scattered all around the player (in close proximity) and a central empty with a ray triggers it when nothing it above it. The rain falls down and when the player presses any of the movement keys, the rain drops parent to the player.

[Wilber719]

Is there a difference on the sound when you put your helmet on or off?

This is nice how did you made the bobbing effect?

[laxwolf]

@Wilber719 Didn't think to do a difference with the helmet on or off. I'll do that now. Well, the "bobbing" is just a slow parent.

[Wilber719]

@laxwolf ok thanks :) keep up the good work :D

[nnjox]

HEy aidan! make up a name for my new game! why am i first?

[laxwolf]

@nnjox What's your new game?

[nnjox]

@laxwolf no just say a name

[laxwolf]

@nnjox Um... kind of have to know what the game is like first. If it's a futuristic FPS, I can't call it rainbow kitten party.
