Help finding specific game engine/addon

#1

HI all,

I’m hoping you can help. I remember LONG ago hearing about a game engine, or perhaps just a add on that could be purchased for a game engine that supported morphing of skeletons, textures and meshes.

It was supposed to allow for creating characters and morphing to different characters with completely different skeletons. I believe there were also algorithms to deal with skeletons of different proportions using the same animation files.

Does anybody know what this software might of been? I’m putting together a pitch for a game that this could be a useful tool, and showing the tool might be a good way to succeed in pitching the game.

Cheers for any help,

Dargon

We have something like that, though we require the same # of bones and same basic hierarchy. Can blend different anims though, very easy. Also, it’s not an add-on, it’s a complete system.

You could also check out Granny, might do this, not sure. Heard a lot of good things about it, their animation coder is a smart guy.

That’s great to hear. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

Besides the info on our website, there’s also a CGTalk thread with a lot of information, I’m sure you recall this one. :slight_smile:
