New horses

This is a preview of the new horses. They need a lot of work in textures and a new tail with transparencies instead of a solid body.

Voices don't look good, they need more attenuation adjustments (too near now) and perhaps new voices, more "warrior" voices.

The horse model is from Mixamo, as well as the animations of walking and canter.

Unlike the previous horse, this one can also be used by the bots, and weapons can be used while riding.

New horses

Working in the new horses. Some diferences with the olders are:

- New model and animations, from Mixamo.
- Horses are now autonomous, they can be in a roaming state, or attack state.
- NPC's can use them too.
- Riders can use weapons.

Another GIF and links to better quality after the jump.

Grabbers

When these little monsters attack, it's best to run. But they run even faster. (Provisional voices).

Charging shouts test

Here are some charging shouts used when the bots are going towards an
enemy. It's a test, the sounds are provisionally taken from the voices
for damage, are short and needs more rage (the distortion was produced
during the video capture),

Castle assault test

An assault on an improvised castle.

Arrow cam

This is not new, but I had to re-code it.

Doors (WIP)

This door is a static actor, until the player or some bots touch it. Then the actor becomes dynamic and rotates in the direction the character is pushing.

In UDK usually are used a trigger with a kismet event or a hinge physics actor, but this is slow if there are a large number. In this way it's only a static mesh until it is touched.

Can be configured with several parameters, force, limits, locked, and can use any staticmesh.

Left to do:
- Sounds
- Lock
- Some animations for the character to push

House still hasn't textures in the interior.

New dynamic hairs

Some new dynamic hairs, which one do you prefer?
(Please ignore the footstep sounds, double sound because the in-place walk animation).

New city (WIP)

Market

City market. Here you can buy food, weapons, take a drink and flirt with the waitress.

(Some clothes doen't fit very well because the base model was modified but the cloth still needs to update).

Turn in place root motion test

I was tired of the old animtree-based turn in place animations, never got it to work decently.

The new system uses root motion animations from Mixamo, adapted to the idle positions of the game characters.

I am not sure to use them in the normal movement (without weapons), because the player loses some feedback in the control. But with weapons, the 180º turn works very well.

Alien weapons

Working in some alien weapons:

Battlefield #2 - Bow gameplay

Another battle with 100 bots, this time with bow gameplay. The scene is at 11 am, cloudy day.

Includes some first person views and slow motion.

Babylon Project in Indie DB

Started a page on Indie DB:

Battlefield #1

This is a battle test with about 100 bots that appears around the player, in two factions.

There are some new things not showed before, like the music, voices and the soldier model.

The soldier model is not finished, textures are provisional and the rig needs to be polished. For the next battlefield video it will be finished (or not).

Projectiles

This is using part of the code from the bow in the fusil (the projectiles are the arrows from the bow for this test). The result is like a automatic crossbow.
In the second half of the video, the arrows are incendiaries.

This is only a test, the soldier is not finished yet (no textures), the XM8 is only for testing while the modelers make the definitive weapons for the game. Music is provisional too, voices aren't edited yet, etc.

For the next weekend we hope to have a video, a battle with 100 bots, showing the soldier finished, also with new music and voices.
