Animation Collaboration

[Angelglory]

If here isn't the proper place for this then feel free to enlighten me.

Anyway, to put it simply, this is a project to create 'machinima-friendly' animations for the characters using BrawlBox. It's an open project, since I'd really rather not have to do this all myself...

Kind of animations considered 'machinima-friendly' would be stuff like regular standing or waving or crossing their arms. Simple gestures and stuff like that, I suppose. Mouth-moving to simulate talking is definitely a plus.

Another thing to figure out is how to get characters like Link or Ike to move their mouths so that they can talk as well.

Well, I figure that's enough pep-talk, nao lezzgo!

i don't get it.

since when do you use gif's for machinimas?

 

[Alphatron]

Gifs are previews.

 

[Evilagram]

When you need to show people what you did without uploading a youtube video. That's when.

I didn't feel like taking all the time it'd take to make gifs for the three animations, I have, so I just took regular ole' screencaps.

Here's some preview pics of what I've made for Lucario:

I also thinking of making a version of Standing where the character's mouth moves as if they're talking, but I'm not sure if it'd work for everyone that has a moving mouth.

His standing animation looks like his standing from Pokemon Battle Revolution.
I like the ideas. Keep it up!

I've made talking versions of the three animations I showed above. I don't know if it will work for everyone, but I'm going to try it out on Lucas next.

I know, I'm a noob, but what exactly is a machinima. Sorry.

A machinima is when you're using a video game (e.g. Brawl) to make a movie, whether short or long. Most famous is Red vs Blue which use Halo 3, but some notable machinima (Smashtasm for one) are up on YouTube if you need an example.

Thanks. Someone gave me the impression it was like one of those flash games.

Update the first post with added Mario and Lucas. (Their mouths are open because they're talking.) I'll add some more later.

how did you get into that window having playback controls?

 

[Angelglory]

You click on the model part until it says Fit(character)##.pac, then right-click and click preview.
