head "animation"


(squadjot) #1

Hey all

Had a little discussion with one of my m8s …the head of the player… is doing some mouth/eye movements… how much of that is “real” 3d …and how much is shaders only?

So…does the head models have any animation inside the md3? (cause i also noticed the head looking/turning in HUD…and it loks very 3d tho)

It has MD3 animation in it. the parts that are 3d are the mouth and the eyes.
The head movement is just an md3 animation too.

there are no shaders in the head i think, they are all just textures.

You can check this by just importing a head in gmax or 3dstudio max.

thx, what i thought …so i gotta use Gmax or 3dstudiomax to see the animations then? (i used milkshape sofar… and the head.md3 got no animation when i import it.)

I have loaded head.md3 with Chris Coockson’s md3 importer in 3ds max and animations are pretty well reproduced. :slight_smile: You could also do this in gmax I guess.
