Majkee Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I have had an idea early this morning - is it possible to create own player animations for 3D match engine? It could be nice for community to prepare own animations to be used by match engine. It could be a good way to quickly improve the visual enjoyment of new 3D graphic representation of match engine I am convinced, that there are a lot of skillful graphics in community members. SI, what is your opinion about this? Thank you for responses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radestock Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I doubt skilful graphics makers are going to have a 3D animation studio. You know, those suits with reflective sensors and loads of infra red cameras dotted around the place etc. Decent 3D animation like that of a person running/moving isn't just something a novice can do on their home computer. It's not like changing some graphics in Photoshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted November 6, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted November 6, 2008 I don't think the users will be able to create their own animations. Not even sure if the current ones can be edited but I'm not really involved in the 3D side of things so I could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that current animations are not so complicated, especially sliding tackle is really easy, static and repetetive. I am sure that may be 10 versions of sliding tackles are possible to animate. Could someone from SI related specifically to 3D answer to my OP? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radestock Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't think you need an answer from SI. It's logical that you won't be able to add new 3D animations. You obviously haven't thought about what it would take. You'd need perhaps 5-6 seconds of movement (doing the tackle, getting up) at 24 frames per second. A player would have perhaps 20 points within a 3D space needing to be animated, frame by frame. That's going to be something only an experienced 3D animator could achieve.

act smiley Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm sure the odds are there are a few people who can animate who happen to like FM - and it doesn't take motion-capture to make animations a lot better than currently in FM09. And frame by frame? What is this, the stone age? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And frame by frame? What is this, the stone age? hehehe, well put! I went to uni to do a Digital Media course and there were animators there that could have produce better quality animations than those on show in the match engine... altho much of the problems with the animating is the lack of good transitional animations... ...and to back up act smiley there is something called key framing y'know... procedural animation is the future but we'll never see that in FM as its designed for high end games... basically I don't think FM needs that, just a bit of an upgrade and more time spent on it.

Aim_Less Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 frame by frame ? are you nuts lol thats not required at all lol i am a modder and i dont need all those things to make good animations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maviarab. Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Can also do this simply...3D artist by trade lol. BUT...and its a big BUT....its very time consuming...and until we know (like stadiums) if its even possibl;e to edit/add into FM...I'm not going to be wasting my time...just yet anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
