sneak preview

[bearded]

this is what me and daglob man are working on:

the mesh parts are all tommyboy's, i just moved them around a bit. only 2 new animations, but they are good ones.
and that skin by daglob is superb, yes?

[Cyber Burn]

Yes!

[John Jr.]

Like I said before, you two make a great team! Jay is looking very good.

[Sioux City Dynamo]

[martialstorm]

[docdelorean88]

fully animated ghost after image of jay running! for speeding bullet and sprint. yes, owty, we are seeing trails.

[BentonGrey]

Coolness Bearded!

[daglob]

 

[Amazo Version 2.2]

really cool. does the after image use the same skin as the original, or can it be set up for a secondary skin?

[Scorpion13mk2]

OH SNAP.

[bearded]

really cool. does the after image use the same skin as the original, or can it be set up for a secondary skin?

it is set up using fx, so the skin is set, you would have to make a different fx based on which skin you use for the hero. as you can see in the pic, the fx skin has red hair and the original has grey. i'm still working on it. right now there is only one afterimage, i'm going to try and have at least 3.

[bearded]

still working on it. i'm trying to see if i an make an animated running jay be a particle fx.
what you see here the subsequent jay's are more translucent. neat, huh?

another idea i had is an fx of superman swooping down, grabbing a character and flying away with them. i know it can be done, just not sure if there is a use or need for it. start.nif would be superman flying down, core.nif would be him behind you arms around waist.

[bearded]

bad news on the animated fx. i can make a particle jay that animates perfectly, even with a blur trail, but nif doesn't like it, so it crashes max when i export. i've got some ideas tho.

[ElijahSnowFan]

Go, Bearded, Go! Those Jay Garrick tricks are AWESOME.

Good Lord, man! If you can make that Superman flying/grabbing someone animation for other keyframes, my mind will let me pretend it'll be like the sequence in the Superman/Shazam! short that just got released where Captain Marvel took Black Adam for a ride...right into Superman's fist.

[bearded]

proof of concept, you will believe a flash can fly! or, you've got me? who's got you!?

it needs some fine tuning, but basically, it works. fully animated also.
just to be clear, it is a flying fx. that means you can apply superman holding you to any character. it is a flying fx the same as el diablo's fiery feet.

[Cyber Burn]

Man, you are tapping into some pretty serious stuff here bearded! Awesome work!

[docdelorean88]

WOWWWWW! This is how the flash should have been forever! GREAT WORK! I also love the superman flying fx! I totally thought of an episode of JLU where batman is free falling "Batman to all points, i could use some air support since i can't fly...at all. ..........Now would be good." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unl8l8VdONw

[bearded]

there are a lot of twins in the flash universe that share power and effects. so...

fully animated to work together. about 1/3 done.

say, if anyone wants any of these things in the previews, let me know, otherwise i'll save it for the mod.

[Cyber Burn]

Cool, buff one them out and add a female to the mix, and you could have red/blue trinity.

[bearded]

it's going to be for characters that share powers, and have to be touching, so i'm going to do some touching animations, high fives and things like that.
mas and menos, and the tornado twins.
do they trinity's have to be touching?

[Cyber Burn]

I don't believe the trinitys need to be touching, but I really look forward to seeing mas and menos.

[bearded]

it works best for characters that share health also, so they get knocked out at the same time, frozen same time, that sort of thing. altho i bet all sorts of characters can be skoped from them, so, i'm going to make a male basic version and then a chubby mas and menos version. i like the cartoon version.

[djfredski]

  that cold! B

[laughing paradox]

The Brothers Grimm would definitely fall under that category of working together. The only thing is they need a cloud under their feet when they fly!

[bearded]

seen here is ks saint's mas and menos skin.
and the corsican brothers:

[Sioux City Dynamo]

Great stuff bearded!!  I think a general release would be nice in addition to the mod.  I can think of a lot of uses for this stuff....Will there be female equivalents?

Respectfully,

[bearded]

i can make female equivelants.
