-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yeah, so I think I'm just gonna worry about messing around with just the pelvis bone for right now, just to keep things a little bit simpler. But now I've noticed, that when I scale it, the transformation doesn't follow the scientist when he turns. My 3D math is a little rusty, and I'm not too familiar with all the math operations that are provided. Is there a way to like rotate the transformation matrix with respect to the origin of the model, so that when I scale the bone, it follows the model appropriately?
I wish I knew how to model, I just don't have the time to learn right now :(. Too busy with the semester ending soon. ----- Original Message ---- From: Minh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 12:54:16 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Using ApplyBoneMatrixTransform -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] wow, that sounds tricky.. It might be easier just to edit the model in a 3d modelling package and recompile it :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garrett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 10:38 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Using ApplyBoneMatrixTransform -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] So I figured out how to move the bone around. However, if I try to move the bone too far up, it flattens out at the highest point that the bone goes, so I can't really get the belly quite where I want it. So I'm still wondering if it's possible to blend or merge or something the pelvis and spine2 bones together to get a complete and natural looking belly. ----- Original Message ---- From: Garrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 6:19:54 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Using ApplyBoneMatrixTransform -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] How do I move the bone forward? ----- Original Message ---- From: Minh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 5:54:16 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Using ApplyBoneMatrixTransform -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] It seems to be scaling about the origin of the bone. Maybe you could scale it and then move the bone forward. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garrett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 2:39 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Using ApplyBoneMatrixTransform -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Alright, so I finally had some time to mess around with ApplyBoneMatrixTransform, as well as with BuildTransformations. It was fun and nifty making things fat and skinny with that vector scaling code, but now I'm looking to try and get a more "precise" scaling effect. I've been messing around with scaling the Kleiner model, and when I don't override BuildTransformations, if I scale him larger in one direction, I've got it scaling the ValveBiped.Bip01_Pelvis bone in the orientation that I want it, but it doesn't quite scale the ValveBiped.Bip01_Pelvis in the areas that want it. I'm trying to get it to scale the pelvis bone so that he gets a fat belly, however, as is evident in this screenshot, http://img66.imageshack.us/my.php?image=si2box0024og5.jpg , he gets a big butt instead (and in that screenshot, I also have Bip01_Spine2 being scaled as well). Is there any way I can get more control over how the bone is scaled? Also, in the previous screenshot, you can see that when the 2 consecutive bones are scaled, they get scaled seperately, and so it doesn't look like a smooth continuation from one bone to the next. Is there any way to get the scaled bones to sort of, blend together or something like that?
