Hi All,
Animation issues
Great news! As I was working on a system to better customizing my characters, I ran into those “animations / weapons not being attached correctly to my characters” issue again and just could not make any sense of it.
Luckily, to take a break, I decided to rework my client spawning system, and after a first draft, I realized all of my animation issues are completely gone now!!! It looks very much like I have a loading order issue since the start.
I’m going to fully rework the spawning system to better wait for each system to be ready.
Character customization
Lately, I’ve been building a method to customize my characters using a single blender model, it’s slow progress though, mostly because there is many different moving parts (blender, photoshop, json, babylon.js). I’m building it with the intention of it being as dynamic and modular as possible. This probably will not be useful for any other project as equipping shields/swords/etc are done via code.
Here is a sneak peek anyway, showcasing the same model with 3 different settings, there is still alot more work to get it fully functional, but I’ve got a clear way forward
