How do people without access to expensive motion capture equiptment animate things properly?
Im going to start making an MMORPG soon and will be needing a lot of models creating, im obviously going to have to get my head round creating 3d models myself but i just cant fathom how you could get a realistic motion without motion capture.
does anyone know of a good source for animations that can be applied to models.
Also if anyone is interested in joining up maybe to help create this soon to be masterpiece let me know.
The game will be an isometric (although 3d) game a little bit similar to ultima online, although it will work how i think UO should have worked etc.
If i can find resources on the net for the models/ animations i will be prepared to buy *some*
the types of things i need initially are:
human male with walking and running animations
human female with walking and running animations
horse (mountable by human)
cow
sheep
wolf
i figure that to begin with they would suffice for wild life.
then monsters...
Giant wasp
giant spider
troll
well, basically anything and everything for monsters
