Animated Model

(Zer0Cool) #1

Is it possible to make an animated model that changes the size? Instead of moving any parts i just want it to become bigger. Or are there any other possibilities for realizing a mushroom cloud?

Yeah. You need to animate it. :slight_smile: Rayban did same with his parachute model. You can find that with search.

oups. forgot that he used that. But does this work with milkshape? Would be a pity if i would have to change to blender because of this :stuck_out_tongue:

yo zero :wink:

The trick is to do the “growing” animation directly in the .md3 of the model, then if you can do animations with milkshape u will not have to move to blender.

When you did the animated .md3 with the “growing” frames, just script-it to play the right frames when you need it ( look at the script function “startanimation” ).

… yes but i don’t know how. In Milkshape i can animate movements but I can’t animate scalations.

make a small nuke model explosion, copy the model scale it up higher, copy that scale it higher

put it all in the same place, hide them and script them to appear 1 by 1 making the one before it disappear. they should all start hidden

so the first one will be scale 1 and it will increment until it reaches for example- scale 50
