Topic: Hey, I'm about to do another thing.

Hello.

Some days ago I posted a thing in the maps forum. People seemed to like it, I guess. I'm sure they liked it. It was some decent animations I made in the in-game map editor. It took me a while but the result was worth it.
Really worth it. Yes.
Oh, right. I'm here for something. A question of some sort. About another thing I want to make. It's going to take even longer than the other thing. So much longer. And I will need some kind of help from someone of you. I want to animate a Tee. Moving and shooting grenades and swinging around with the hook and that kind of stuff.
Don't you worry. I don't want you to help me do that. No, I don't. No, that would be insane, wouldn't it? No, I want you to make a closeup, slow-motion, HD recording of a Tee...
[1] walking forwards/ backwards, jumping,
[2] shooting a grenade, and
[3] swinging at the ceiling from right to left.

I need those videos to coordinate the animations better. And of course to get a little bit more familiar with the Tees' movement.
Of course this is just a request. No one has to do it. But it would be much appreciated if you did actually do it. I must be crazy for trying something like this? Well, let's see who laughs last. I will. I believe in my abilities. Have fun. And thank you.

And bye.
TheDerero.

Move along, nothing to see here, really.

That video is already very helpful, thank you. But you might have over read a particular detail. It's not the most necessary thing, but would be extremely helpful as well. It's the

I am pointing out here. I'd be really nice if you'd do that as well. Anyways thank you for doing that first video!

Re: Hey, I'm about to do another thing.

Wow, yes! Thank you. I think I already have a basic idea of how to animate the walking and jumping. I am really grateful for what you did and do actually hope for the rest!

Thank you and best regards,
TheDerero.

P.S.: I really don't know why we are discussing this in English since we are both German.

It's because this is an English forum and we're not allowed to speak a language different from English here.

Can you tell me which one works better for you?

Re: Hey, I'm about to do another thing.

They are both fine since I need to see both the connection between the tee and the hook and the ceiling and the hook.

Re: Hey, I'm about to do another thing.

Maybe you could make it even slower and keep an eye for the impact? I really need the particle effects.

P.S.: How are we going to handle my maps? Do I make a post for each map or one single post that I edit everytime I have a new project coming out? Is an edit being marked as a new post?

No. However, it's good practice to edit a first post, and also post when updates happen.

Not Luck, Just Magic.

Re: Hey, I'm about to do another thing.

Thank you, Dune. I think that is what I am going to do from now on.

EDIT: Just a quick question here, does this forum support spoilers? I would really like the various updates and maps to be all sorted so nothing and nobody gets confused and messed up. Spoilers could really save a lot of space and time to search.

No, the forum doesn't support any kind of collapsible boxes.

Alright. Thanks for your answers and help, guys. As soon as you post the last two videos, heinrich5991 (just if you want to do them, obviously) you can close this topic.

The grenade. Just a little bit slower and maybe you could keep an eye for the explosion. I kind of need to see the particle effects. I know, you already spend some time on it, but it was just not detailed enough and a bit too fast.

A lot slower
Focusing solely on the explosion (relatively low-quality)
