It isn't the hl2 g-man, but what the hell! Looks very nice!

LOL

Hell i thought it was going to turn green, great start Jed...:)

Thats nice.
Do you plan to release them with a player pack?

Hmm, intereasting yet nice! :D

That thing is creepy, it's gonna give me nightmares :eek:

It is impressive though.

If theres enough interest for me to do it.

He looks rather....confused? You should add little flys spinning around his head, It looks as if hes trying to stare them down @_@ :p

looks a lot like the BF1942 idle face anims.

It would be good if it didn't jump like it does at the end.

I'm sure when you made it, you didn't plan it for a player pack. It would benefit if it looped a smooth animation, like the last part of the facial expression was the same as the first.

HOLY HELL THATS AWESOME!!!!!! I want to tweak the hell out of DOD before HL2 comes out and this is one perfect way to do it :) You are well on your way to being a god....or at least a demigod:)

It looks at me funny... Good Work.

A set of those would be good for the dod idle animations.

looks very great !

can u make some faces and put it into th us - brit - german player models ? ;) hmmm or the dod team can add this to the next update :)

Jed, I've PMed you.

Makes me wonder though, does Pixar animate their facial characters with bones like how we do it in HL/DoD/RTCW? Do they assign vertices to bones and such?

Well its not meant to be a serious animation, its just showing all the ranges of motion in the face.

Its just a goof I made with the keyframe in Milkshape, it probably wouldnt do it in a final version.

For each different face you have to re-rig the bones and re-animate each animation that uses them. Considering the variations in the US, German and British faces you'd probably end up with about a 1000 animation SMDs.

nice work as usual there Jed.

1000 animation SMDs..? can the compiler handle that? i dont think it can... because it would be cool if it did.

although im sure thats a hell of alot of work right there, i know i wouldent have the time and energy to make face animations for everyhting..
but very cool, good to know weve still got some active animators in the community. thats soemthing that weve had a lack of. (with he exception of Klown and Glim. lol and glim just came out of hiding :p )

No, what happens is for each nations models that use a different shaped head you need to have different bones and adjust the animations.

So, if each country has 346 animations in the models, you have to have a set for each country.

That would give you 1000+ if you were going to do it for all models.

wow dude thats brilliant:cool:

if you ever make a player pack with these make the shoot animation play a facial expression of him grinding his teeth like gaurnere from BoB:D

nice i like it.

btw this has been done before for sven coop and single player hl, someone converted the playstation half-life models over to the pc using an emulator or something and they have moving eyes and mouths, very high poly too.
