Just out of curiosity, since I'm a rigger/ animator too... why did you think 9 spine joints were necessary, but didn't even give him an extra forearm joint so you can twist the wrist properly? Seems a bit like wasting joints in the wrong place to me Smile

That's what you would think, but the extra joints along the back are the spine, they allow for increased range of motion to match the curvature of the human spine! And the parts along the hips, there are 3 joints, one which is for the left thigh, one for the right thigh, and the middle one which is the "Hips Override" which allows for a 3D Modeler/Animator to select the whole mesh using JUST that single joint. So actually every single joint is perfectly matched to the human body, the spine has multiple joints in it thus the mass amounts of joints, trust me I took a class on 3D Modeling and Animation last year in 11th grade, I got it covered Wink

But thanks for the feedback though, it is greatly appreciated! Big Grin

I am actually still working on getting the materials for the mapping process, as of now I have primitives and am working on custom walls, static entities, as soon as I have enough to fill an area, I will send the files on over to you to begin mapping that map, the prison area is just about done and ready for mapping which is the intro map, I shall try to send you those files over skype tonight when I get home from school, as of now I am in study hall with my laptop working on Maya stuff, I only need to do two door entities then I think we can just work with the original amnesia bars and I will just retexture the color values to fit the scene.

It's nice to see the zombie models, but here is a tip:

If you plan on releasing content that teases the mod, you should NEVER show us the monsters. Otherwise it won't be that scary if we know whats out there without even playing the mod.

...well I was just wondering, because I've seen and animated quite a number of biped rigs for games in my job so far and none required more than 3-5 spine joints plus the pelvis. I've only ever seen a higher number of spine joints in film rigs. But do whatever you think is best of course! (And add a forearm joint. Do it. Big Grin

)

Btw, are you planning to make a control rig for your joints, too?

Most likely I will haha, I just finished making all the models for the Prison section so now I can focus on animating this bad boy Smile

Also I shall add that forearm joint if I can squeeze it on into there, thanks man! Big Grin

I just realized you're the guy who made that silent hill mod. That was awesome. I can't tell you how much I've always wanted to smack a grunt in the face and have it actually do something! I'll definitely be playing this. Smile
