Lovely penis work by the way <3

This beautiful test illustrates backwards walk animation playing at the same time with idle animation (you should notice the arms swaying a bit if you pay close attention). The walk takes over the legs and idle overrides the upper body.

It took a while to get it working properly. Very excited about this.

Did you do the same thing as I to make it work?

I’m not sure.

Perhaps @themiddleman can provide more details as to the actual steps he took to make it work. But, like I said, we are now using the Monkanim branch (GitHub - Nehon/monkanim) or rather relevant pieces of it.

It’s not feature complete, but … we’re trying it out to see whether it’s complete enough to use in production for our use case. Seems good so far. We’re next going to be testing morph target animations aka. blend shapes. If that turns out ok then we should have a working 3D pipeline which can handle our specific needs.

I find it gloomy that monkanim wasn’t updated for over a year Modern engines must support animation blending. I just hope that one @nehon will find the productivity and time to finish it, as I think it would be a magnificent asset for jme3. Personally, I would totally use the new animation system.

Do you mean for @Pilvinen’s assets or for my skeleton? I can’t seen his video.

You like that? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I lack time for my project, as I spend a lot of my time in school and that I have a lot of financial problems : I need to find contracts or a part time programming job (I have a college computer sciences degree) but I fail to do so. Anyway, I don’t know how school nor my life will turn out, for now as money is a big problem.

[tonihele]

@Pilvinen’s asset but now that you mention it. You too have a gorgeous penis! You can’t say that too often to people, shame…

[nehon]

It’s in the master branch though

@nehon

It’s in the master branch though

So it’s not a work in progress anymore or the main features are complete but there’s still things to improve?

@Benoit_Dubreuil

that ^

[Benoit_Dubreuil]

Noice. Then, I’ll need to remember this thread for when I’ll implement animations to know where is the documentation about the new animation system.

I have migrated and archived the project from Bitbucket onto GitHub.

First of all, sometimes you just want to apply animations that have priorities. For example, breathing (1), walking (2) and attacking (3). For each bone, the one with the highest priority should be the one played. You could also say that the bone priority is also the precision : an animation that is played on a broader range of bones is usually lower in terms of priority.

I found the specific commit for this : Added the sort (insertion sort) method to the AnimControl · benoit-dubreuil/colony-simulation-jmonkey-engine@9ccc266 · GitHub

Also, here is the code for the animation and bone conventions : https://github.com/benoit-dubreuil/colony-simulation-game-library/tree/feature/voxel-lighting/src/main/java/com/cheesygames/colonysimulation/animation

I dealt with automatic asset enum generation

Here is the asset enum generator : https://github.com/benoit-dubreuil/colony-simulation-assets/tree/master/src/generator/java/com/cheesygames/colonysimulation/assets/generator

Here are generated asset enums : https://github.com/benoit-dubreuil/colony-simulation-assets/tree/master/src/generated/java/com/cheesygames/colonysimulation/assets

I also did a LibGDX’s AI behavior tree importer for my last project.
