Game maker 8 3D human walking animation

[tacoboy68]

Great job I've only been able to make a game like asteroids so far. Don't feel bad about putting too much time into it though because I know how you feel. Making games sucks you into it. Lol

Btw: if u know a good gm programing tutorial let me know because I only know drag and drop so far.

[SafasoTV]

I know this is old now and you probably moved on.

But, when i was making a 2d game with lots of hand crafted characters(not copied ones)

i just added a 16bit sort of style and limited the running animations to 4 frames for humans and 24fps for gigantic robots. This sounds cheap but its good for massive games.

Some developers do that too.

Or just download blender and copy the animation file.

[Sypran]

@SafasoTV Yeah I coulda used blender, but then again I was relatively new to 3D at the time so I didnt know how to do that stuff.

btw 16 bit graphics are always awesome =) my favorite generation of gaming by far!

[SafasoTV]

@Sypran Yeah 16bit is cool, and early 32bit graphics are cool too, like Sega Saturn and psone. Anyway.... if your gonna do the less workload then, make it have style so some cynical A-hole(i am one of them) doesn't troll around.It puts a smile on everyone's face.

Also have you thought about animation render distance?

If a person is 2yards away then their animation is halved so the computer doesn't have to struggle?

[SimonsHappyToxicCake]

I' am guessing this took you 90 days to make with out sleeping 0.o its amazing!

[Sypran]

@SimonsHappyToxicCake actually it took me maybe an afternoon. 

[NeoShockBlue]

Just wanna say, Hyper Cam's free, and good quality. Nice video though. :)

[kwasirulez]

*SUBSCRIBED* nice code.....

[ConspiracyChannel101]

Those graphics look good. Even without GMORGRE and Unlimited 3D you can make pure d3d games. It is amazing.

[jamecrowley]

he got a fat ass

[jamecrowley]

and yes he has a ass too funny

[AwesomeAnimatorMan]

why didn't u just use a desktop recorder or something, like u can use camstudio or something to record on da comPOOter

[Sypran]

@AwesomeAnimatorMan Because usualy those are free trials that last X days and that's what I use now a days, also many of them (that I used specially Fraps) have problems with game-maker. which ether recording the screen black, or the picture was not full screen.

[9joao6]

@Sypran camstudio isnt a trial, its completelly free. :)

[ZeoWorks]

0:28 "This isent..FUN!" D:

[VIIIAxelGraal]

You say its not FUN with such hate o.o if its not FUN for you why do it? :/

[Sypran]

@VIIIAxelGraal cause I need it :P idk I like coding everything else, but getting a human to walk around and actually look right is just plain annoying. Its that one chore you gotta do and do it right, then the rest is literally fun and games.

[adamzoubi555]

LOL at 0:06 fart x)

[Sypran]

@adamzoubi555 no... spring mattress...

[adamzoubi555]

@Sypran oooh sorry :/

[viktorantal]

Actually there is a very big difference between a day and an hour. 2:53

[Sypran]

@viktorantal yeah... there is...

[r4microds]

nice!

[Sypran]

@twolt100 the description has a link to the download of the game

[here57]

First things first that is amazing!

did you use some program for the 3d man

or did you make him from your mind?

and also how do you make his body move?

[Sypran]

@here57 Why thank you :) I coded him in with the draw functions in GM8, no other programs/files used. Otherwise I did draw him on a piece of graph paper then simply wrote the code based off the graphing lines.

His body moves with a bunch of transformations + rotations at variables starting with direction, then more rotations in the X and Y axis on other made up variables.

These variables were then controlled by large math equations, that now I look back at it could have been better optimized.

[Dorak13band]

When you animated this, did you have to load and flip through a bunch of different models, or where you able to use some type of transformation?

[Sypran]

@Dorak13band transformation using variables like direction, and other things I made up like Upper Left arm (ULA) and such.

[Dorak13band]

@Sypran ok, thx. I still don't understand all of it. But i have download the game now, so, I hope a little study time might make it easier. thx dude

[Sypran]

@Dorak13band No problem yeah you can edit it to make it easier I will admit I didn't make it every well... hance why one day I plan to release a updated one that might be better.

[Dorak13band]

@Sypran I can hardly code anything in 3d yet. I am learning a few different programming languages right now, so i hope some better understanding of Javascript, GML, and C# (I already understand html, mostly) will let me make some good dll's to use with Game maker. Hope i can make heads or tail of GML. Where do you input the amount of frames the transformation should take?

[Sypran]

@Dorak13band Well to be honest.... there is none... I kinda just calculated how many degrees, the room speed (30), how fast I wanted the particular thing to happen, then came up with an equation that works. I'm not the most amazing programer. I'm just a guy who makes things that work for what I need em to do...

[MrRolo1995]

i´m making a first prsongame do you know how can i jump?

[Sypran]

@MrRolo1995 mmk well in the projection coding make sure to have a variable like "Zjump" (added to Z1, and Z2). that way when you press a button those numbers go up. you can then create gravity in like the step event where if Zjump doesn't = 0 you go down like 2 or whatever squares a step. (actual gravity on earth is accelerating at 9.81 meters per sec)

[MrRolo1995]

thank you

[MrRolo1995]

can you put the link¿?

[Sypran]

@MrRolo1995 link in the description now

[MrRolo1995]

if you finish the game can i download it¿?

[Sypran]

@MrRolo1995 hereb is it (on yoyogames) /games/150726-de-3d-human its just the 3d human I might upgrade it one day to make it easier to use

[novaztec]

i plan to be a game designer when i grow up. yes i no theres a code and its very time consuming and boring but hey, someoones got ta do it!

[shadowthingey]

ALL FROM CODE??

[Sypran]

@shadowthingey correct.

[hodebry13]

ty i have this in my game (with u in the creds) but how do i make him walk animation instead of just rotating?

[Sypran]

@hodebry13 you need to edit some variables like if i recall RUL? they should be in the create event. edit them and parts of the body will move and rotate. I might try to make a better version if I have time

[MW2PS3Blog]

For fuxake, use a screen recorder next time.

But nice animation.

[shadowthingey]

He likes walkinking in slo-motion

[brunosilva281]

okay np. :)

[PiromancerFreak]

dude i ♥ making games but i got no clue how to make them 3d and i got 8.0 pro can you make a tutorial though :D thx

[mrawoodcock]

@PiromancerFreak :D:D

[XxDahamonnahxX]

u know sakis25 or sakisa w/e

anyway he made alot of 3d games crimelife 1,2 and 3

im sure he can help u

[mrawoodcock]

please can you send me the download link please?,

ill give you credit :D

[Sypran]

@mrawoodcock Ill need to put it on yoyogames when I get home. once I do that

Ill give ya the link

[mrawoodcock]

@Sypran Thank you so much, i promise i will give you credit :)

[mrawoodcock]

@Sypran done it yet :D?

[mrawoodcock]

@Sypran have you uploaded it yet ?

[Sypran]

@mrawoodcock ACK forgot to post the link! yes I did its at yoyogames. /games/150726-de-3d-human

[mrawoodcock]

@Sypran thank you so much, i appreciate that bro.

[mrawoodcock]

@Sypran hello again, can you do a tutorial on how to move the player?

because i want to put him in my game XD

PS: the guy is an awsome shape

[Sypran]

@mrawoodcock sure sure Ill do that when I can litlte busy atm though so

[mrawoodcock]

@Sypran okay np. :)

[deathnotedo]

@shadowhaterz576 of corse you have

[JHDSTUDIOS]

@shadowhaterz576 SHOWOFF

[Hackinghacker125]

people i just want to say there is a difference between a geek and a nerd but i don't feel like explaining it so just look it up. oh and good job.

[kingdomheartsfansam]

Could u sned me the code for that person? plz

[kingdomheartsfansam]

i need to learn how to make body like that :P

[Sypran]

@shadowhaterz576 I havent been working with GM (let alone 3D animation) for that long. Who cares what it can do if you dont want it to that, I wanted a simple human shape, I got a simple human shape. and yes Im a nerd, not all nerds have been programing for a while, and even then programing isn't my specialty. - as for monitor thing yeah i know what one is... I said computer screen because that is what we say in this area. I'm sorry our local terminology is different.

[AllHailKingKurt]

Well, I got to say, it is great, I haven't even thought about trying to make anything that complicated, I have played with Game Maker 8 Lite though, and been able to make some decent 2 D games!

[11Adityabhaskar11]

no gravity!!!!!!!!!..

[Sypran]

@11Adityabhaskar11 uhhh... there wasnt back then but there is now, and even then was there any floating objects?

[lyingpancake95]

good job

[ceh555]

moonwalk! :))

[Sypran]

@ceh555 lol It really is :P

[williambirkin1]

cool could u send me this file and how would i change what he looks like
