Capedings

Capedings · 07:30 PM

If you're wondering, yes, I created this for Brian in Vlarion 2 (you can see the half-finished version of him in the preview pic). But rather than make everyone wait until then, I'm releasing it just in case anyone else wants to use it now.

This was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. All cape models are positioned so the top of the cape is the origin point; in other words, rotating the models always keeps the cape attached to the collar of the actor or HMC.

You can use spin letters to easily flip a cape upside down to reverse the way it curves, and some of the 3D word actions might be handy for bending cape models in other interesting ways.

Enjoy.

HMC · 03-15-2006, 09:23 PM

Looks good!

Molotov · 03-15-2006, 09:28 PM

YAAYYY!!! You are going to keep Brian's cape!

Side-to-Side, Rock, and Back-And-Forth are practically MADE for this kind of thing

Wow! Now it's time to waste YOUR good stuff in MY bad movies!
Kidding!
Nice done!

Chris Walker · 03-16-2006, 02:08 PM

Oh my...............supreme..............

And Brian looks pretty cool too.

Tuna Hematoma · 03-16-2006, 03:28 PM

SWEETASTIC!

You're spoiling us, Aaron.

Chris Walker · 03-16-2006, 06:39 PM

Destroying us is more like it. My mind can only take so much. But theres more to come............

Space Goat · 03-18-2006, 08:40 PM

Finally I can give Barney the kaiser helmet and cape he always wanted.

Brossy · 03-29-2006, 06:15 AM

Can someone post an animation using these?

I don't quite get what each of the shapes are for.

If I see a cape in action, then I'll get a better idea. If it looks cool enough, than the 'Anti killah' in magic 2, might have a cape

Aaron Haynes · 03-29-2006, 06:35 AM

The shapes are for different positions of the cape, so it can bend and flutter. I made an animation, but I had a testing expansion active, so I couldn't spider or save it.

Brossy · 03-29-2006, 06:48 AM

I kinda get it... but i dont get the positions properly. Since you made it, I thought you'd have some pretty sweet test animations done.

Brossy · 03-29-2006, 06:57 AM

I've kinda got the idea now after putting an actor there and adjusting it to his neck and changing the letters

Im just not sure how to animate it properly

Brossy · 03-29-2006, 07:04 AM

Brossy · 03-29-2006, 07:09 AM

My animation looks weird, I've done something wrong, WHAT IS IT!

Shwill · 11:33 PM

Hey, I'm working on a Darth Vader, and i was wondering, could someone just make a quick one scene, one frame movie with the capedings expansion activated? I would appreciate it because I get everything but the working expansion. Thanks in advance. Oh, i could also use some vader pics.

Shwill · 03-31-2006, 11:21 PM

You no longer have to post any Vader pics. He is nearly done.

Jon Barton · 04-07-2006, 03:11 PM

I'm getting annoyed with these constant vxps. ZIPS for the technologically retarded people.
