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. .

Hi Nico,

As you know, I'm trying to rebuild/customize some of the original IE models,
May be you can try to accomplish some of the Baldur's Gate Character textured base mesh cover, & I try to rig, skin & animated it ... ?

Character Design Resources :

Look at some of this original creations asset information that I've gleaned about :

,


What we need to know, to better understand/grab : it's the structure of the Models/Animation itself ...
Number/Size of the Models Polygons, Mesh Body, Rigs/Bones structure & Skins type, Texture type, Animation Procedure used, etc ...
Any valuable information that's could help us to re-create the Assets with its "old-school"- touch .
