TAOC Sample Vid - May 2009

[jkartik]

here it is.

Bowler Actions.rar

NOTE : tried uploading it on PC server but failed

a few warnings :-

- wicket keeper and fielders are untouched. so dont be shocked.
- the batsman is idle as its yet to be properly implemented in-game.
- the ball gets released a tad early before the hand comes into place.
this is because the release timing is matched for the previous action.

comment anything and everything on the bowling but please ignore the rest.

also, have attached the previous/old action so that you can judge
yourself how drastic the change is !

I should say excellent. Almost the same action.

My concern is bowler is running a bit slowly & the ball is going before the ball is being delivered.I watched so many times & found these drawbacks But Kartik you are awesome man. what a talent you have got .Please go on.

edit: I have read that it is 80 % complete

This is my opinnion on this so I might be wrong. The animation looks exactly like Bret Lee's real life bowling action (he bends down a bit right after he starts his run up, etc.) but what I am afraid is that you will probably use this bowling action as a default one too? The old bowling action looks like a default bowling action so you might just keep that for a default bowler or for those that rarely bowl. Also, I am really eager to see some spin animations for bowlers like Harbhajan Singh, Muralidharan, and shane warne (maybe it is shows in one of your previous videos, but I am not sure). Also, I would want to see some batting shots like slog sweep, leg glance, hook shot, over the keeper, down the wicket shot, and a square cut. Don't think that I am demanding alot of previews and putting alot of work on you. You don't have to put previews of everything here, but you can use this as a guide for releasing the next video. Otherwise, you released the bowling animation which is really great because no one would have been able to do that when he is trying to finish a game in 6 months. So its great that you found time to keep us updated. Last thing I want to say is that if I have to pick one game from this and Ashes cricket 2009, I would pick.............TAOC. Good Job!

First post:

the ball gets released a tad early before the hand comes into place.
this is because the release timing is matched for the previous action.

And the video is slow because it keeps down the file size.

thanx !

well, i've modified the old action BY HEAPS and almost made it from scratch.
so, this isnt a concern !
although you can make the lee action default if ya want to !

spinners,shots and all are coming soon......but i can only make it in 3DS MAX.
its LM who has to implement it in-game.....lets hope hes back into it asap.

 

[coolz_hari]

oh my hell i didn't see..i was busy in downloading the file.
how much time will it take for you to make a complete bowling action?

Good to see that now a days you are working hard on the game

 

[manee]

Bloody excellent. Truly superb work. This is one graphical area where you have exceeded Codemasters and EA clearly. Not too into video games these days, but I appreciate that it is picture perfect.

Lol, I'm not Simon Cowell. But seriously, that is brilliant, the small details are all right, from the jump height to the dragging of the back foot and the entire follow through.

Inquiry from me, how long does each action take to make and how many could the game take (in terms of memory space) in total?

well, depends on the action really...if its a complex one like malinga or lee...
then quite some time....but if its a simple action like a traditional off spinner...then probably a couple of days to make it..and then some more for detailing and technical stuff.

the game can handle loads of it......but the real problem is implementing it in-game..coz, its quite a process and considering LM's situation right now..
i wouldnt want to add salt to the injury !
