Pipeline, Animation, I.E. C.G., cooking ., Bam creation revival discussion Options

[salomonkane]

Hello everyone,

I'm requiring help about news discovery in matter of animation creation for IE games, and especially for BG series .

Here could be discussed techniques and issues concerning bam editing/creation .

First of all, this is one example of amazing possibility delivered by the works of infamous heroes of various modding community,
adapted by me, in circumstance to Infinity Engine canvas, with Baldur'Gate like sprite :



Then which help, infos , I need ?

Well, could you please explain me :

1) How work the indexed palette system in I.E. ?

2) The limitations Engine about new sprites/animations integration ?

3) How to proceed to integrated new animation via modding pipeline (WeiDu & Co)

Perspective :
I'm looking also animator/modeler/modder than could, would be, give some tips about the original games creation assets (by eg vanilla model polygon structure ...), in the eventually of recreated some of them (cause they're "lost") with all this news animation possibility ...
And of course, need help to spell/fx making, to adjust effect for this new sprites (I'know that some people are very skilled about this, around )

T.Y. .

As you can see it's possible to adapt non-human animations (with some hard work , I kidding ), from games (here NWN1),
on model from another games (/resources) ... :



And of course the funny part it's to mixing various sequences to our taste from various sources and try to correspond them at the most possible on the BG animation style .

Here tiger model/animations could be mixed with our enhanced animations/model :



And could be armored and serve as a mount to explore the Forgotten Realms ... :



Vanilla Felines BG sequences : (*)

Lion Character from Iclone Template with NWN 1 Cat sequences (First attempt, WIP, also need various tuning calibration /legs/foot/angles, etc.)
