projectile animation question...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to animate a projectile. I've got a shot in my movie that tracks a rocket from the rocket launcher, and it looks pretty cool, but the rocket just sits there. I thought it would be really cool if I could get the rocket to spin as it flew. I imported the pro...

Actually, that didn't quite work. While adding and linking the frame did allow the blitzkrieg plug-in to successfully export the animation, the resulting animation tag only contained one node (as opposed to twenty) and a messed up checknode sum. That means when I try to inject the animation into the...

Doesn't a "frame" apply to level geometery and not character/animation models? Wouldn't a no frame issue come up when using the .jms exporter and not the .jma?

I downloaded and utilized the Ghost's new tool to import a marine into 3dsmax, and I set-up the ani...

I need help animating a marine.

Hi again. So, one of the characters in my film has to be a human, and not the master chief, so I thought I'd go with an unarmored marine. I got the tags, skinned him the way I liked, plopped him in my map, and thought I was ready to go until I found that marine animations are fairly limited, and did...

Well, that one didn't work, but I was on the right track. See, the game kinda rejected the artificially injected bitmap file, so I was back to square one, but I still knew the crux of the problem lay with the bitmaps.map file. I did a little thinking, and decided I should check out the bitmap that w...

I think I figured it out! ok, so I was just thinking that if I need to inject the skin into the bitmap.map file, why not swap bitmap.map files? I mean, throw the CE bitmap.map into the Halo map directory, run HMT, injecct the new skin, switch the bitmap.map files again, and run my map! It should wor...

injecting MC skin in Halo CE map.

Hi everyone! I've been working on this movie for the last couple of days and have overcome most of my problems (custom animation, custom map features, etc) but have come across another problem. This new problem seems like it should have an easy fix, but I can't figure it. Basically, I need to know h...

Sure, I'll try to give some details. Ok, so honestly I know very little about this whole process. So here's what I'm trying to do. I want to make this movie, and in this movie I want to have a character do a custom animation (raise his arms, as if he's greeting the sun right?). So I found your tutor...

Basic animation question.

Hi there. I am trying to make a simple animation for a movie I'm making, but I got stuck. I found the cool tutorial on 3rd person custom animation by cmndr resuvour and followed his steps and was able to create, export, and compile my animation. Only thing is, I don't know how to get it into the gam...

Halo PC movie help.

Hello. I posed a message similar to this message in the new people forum before I realized that there was a movie forum. Anyways, I was hoping to start making some Halo vids (gameplay and story based if I find the energy) but all I have is Halo PC. I'm really new to the halo scene, so I don't really...
