Playing around in 3DS Max with MWOs Marauder asset.

I recently discovered the automatic walk cycle in the character animation tools. All I had to do was build a rig for it and play with a lot of curves and stuff.

I might do a Locust or a King Crab next to see what it can achieve there before manual intervention.

Also made the shader graph so that I can input the three colours for the skins.

The render looks amazing. I feel the automatic walk cycle doesn't do the mech justice. It's too gentle, lacking any of the torso bobbing or shaking that really gives a mech oomph and weight.

Thanks. You can paste their URLs into an online gif resizer easy enough if you want to use them.

King Crab stalk and King Crab morning jog animations.

Also gave a decal a go on the RasalCrab with the chaos symbol.

I kinda want to do some taunt animations now. Something MWO has been lacking for far too long :P

If you ever decide you want to animate a quadruped mech, i'm pretty sure i still have that 3D model i've made lying around... Somewhere... Posted Image

The animations look pretty darn good, though.

There are tuts on this forum, not sure what they are like since I didn't need them. But to get .obj files that's the program you need.

Some keyframe animation for fun. This is pretty much a copy of the warm-up taunt the light mechs can use in Hawken. It took about 8h to recreate...

Also a custom six machine gun Pirate's Bane. I gave it rotating chin guns so it can pitch its CT forward while running. Because it looks cool.
