If animating a movie is hard work, just imagine animating something that will change and evolve depending on players’ input! Animations give you the visual cues you need to react to what’s happening on screen, especially in combat, so they need to feel natural and realistic. But at the same time, as a player you want to retain control over what’s going on, so animations need to be short and always keep the ability to change on the fly. Then you’ve got all the technical challenges related to motion capture – and that’s not counting animating animals such as dogs or birds, where MoCap is out of the question. This week we talk with one of our character animators, Abdullah Nakipoglu, who will give us a sneak peek at the complex process of animating characters in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.</p</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/86

Great blog. Not being glued to your horse anymore seems like a really nice mechanic.

Yo dawg, I want to sit on a throne with two wolf-mix dogs at my side and a host of loyal noblemen/women before me asking where we should invade next.

 

[CKyHC]

companion dog?

 

[Referans]

Can we have the dog as pet ?

 

[Revverie]

I want a weasel and a racoon as a pet

Prisoners tend to be upset

Well, I guess in the future 'Horses' and 'Camelry' will be joined by 'Canines' devblog

Gets struck by sword, falls of horse, gets pierced by lance mid-flight.
I would call that bad luck day for the Cataphract. 

 

[Kentai]

Goose and Dog mounts confirmed.

Hey i didnt realize the Turkish Vin Diesel worked at taleworlds 

Seriously though, I think that guy getting hit off the horse is fantastic. Maybe a bit too weightless, but I would also like to point out that he's hit by the spear guy while mid air.

A good mix of these animated deaths and random ragdolls will make a nice touch.

 

[RKStranger]

Good blog! BTW, there should be some companies selling motion data right? Why not just purchase them for a better realistic graphic representation and this avoids duplicated works by different studios. For example, why not purchase horse motion data from rockstar? I am not familiar with the game industry so correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Triune Impurity Rites 999]

So, can I have a dog farm?

 

[KarlXII]

Getting knocked off the horse might make jousting more interesting. Hopefully they expand on that and make lancing a technique that isn't first to get hit dies.

 

[The Meddling Monk]

Wow, nice blog!

(please tell me we can have a pet dog in game )
