issues with partial blend

[andrew]

Hi there.

i have been trying out out the partial transition blend, but for some reason it won't work.

i have followed the tutorial you guys have provided on youtube, but when i enable the partial blend nothing happens.

i am attaching my simple test scene, just ignore all the different actions. it is only the stand and forward and tailcurl that is part of the transition map.

and as always i love your crowd system

regards
Andrew

Thank you Andrew,

It's our honor to hear that you like our tool!!

I tested your file and found everything is OK, and tail curved OK and playing animation~ ( I just directly opened your scene and run )

Please check the attached picture.

maybe your miarmy is not up to date.
We'll upload the miarmy 2.0.9 today or tomorrow.


Thank you for your feedback!!

Best regards!

thank you for help

Hi Yeah

now i got the partial blend working, some other issues has come.

the first issue is that the partial blend action moves way too fast. i examined the scene from the tutorial and as far i can see, the hand wave action is just a static loop cycle

but how can i make the blend transition slower ?

the other issue is that i would like to use the rotation channels to trigger the partial blend.

an example would be that agent rotate xxx in y axis and that would trigger an partial blend action. is that possible ?

if not, how can i make an action that behaves just like the rotation channels ?

thank you

Hello Andrew,

For your first question, I'm not understand very well, do you means the transition not smoothly??

For your 2nd question, we have:
"ry" channel will return the rotation speed of the agent
"rotate.y" channel will return the rotate value in the channel box at right hand side just like maya's
( But I'm not sure is that this feature in your Miarmy version, please try it with the lateset version and check it in Brain Viewer)

I hope this can help~~

Best,

Hi Yeah thank you for quick answer

perhaps i din't make my first question clear enough, sorry i was in a hurry.

what i meant is that the blend transition is not smooth enough, so i almost got this popping effect and that is most undesirable.


hope that makes more sense

about the rotation issue, i have some difficulties understanding how to make use of the rotate.y channel.

to rephrase my question, how can i plug my rotation channel into the transition map ?

i was able to create a state called ry but it still need an action shell to make it work.

hope you guys can help

I also found this problem, let me try to fix it in future 2 ~ 3 days, I'm sorry recently schedule is too tight to fix it right away. Will try to fix it soon~
