I just finished creating this video. It took quite a bit of work with the toolset. Link.

If you enjoy it, I'd appreciate it being spread around. If you have any questions about how any of it was accomplished, I would be happy to provide in-depth responses and some tips on using the toolset.

ROFL. hahah good job.

Man I love the toolset.

WOW. Just had to pop in after seeing Morrigan getting smacked around, and tip my hat to you! We may need to bug Jeff for a machinima project category

If there was ever a reason for Bioware to bring back Bioware Wednesday, this is it! And props for the long dash down the street before hitting Morrigan shot. Absolutely priceless!

[FergusM]

Thanks! I was actually very impressed with the toolset when making that shot. It was quite easy to blend together the running animation and the slap animation. It looks a little weird from other angles, but it works well enough.

I loved Mysteries of Westgate, by the way.

Too bad bioware doesn't support the toolset.

They made like $50,000.000.00 dollars but they can't have one guy answering toolset questions an hour or two per day.

Oh come on, let's not exaggerate. I've seen people like Craig Graff answering questions on the weekend! There are others such as Bryan Derksen & David Sims as well, that have been very helpful. Would it be nice to have more support? Hell yeah! But not every question will be answered the moment we want it.

EDIT - If you do have questions, compile the list and separate it into categories, and send it off to one of the Bio devs, and ask if we can get official answers. We did this a while back with regards to cutscenes, and the Bio dev passed it off to a cutscene designer, who answered most of the questions.

Besides, let's save the complaining for the other threads that aren't this one. Like how we still don't have a direct 1-800-ASK-BIOW number.

Ooh, I have a question. Did you just blend the animations within the cutscene editor itself, or did you use the Animation Editor?

My response to that would have to be: There's an animation editor? How do I open that exactly? :happy:

My use of the toolset has been quite narrow; it felt easier to really get to know small parts of it first and branch out from there as I need it, so while I'm quite comfortable with the cutscene/creature/facefx/etc. editors some parts of the toolset remain an arcane mystery to me.

Ah, I see. For the record, it's called the Animation blend tree editor. I messed around with it a little bit during the toolset BETA, but as we didn't have a client at the time, I moved on to something else. Since the release of the game, I haven't even touched it.

Well, if you ever do branch out and start using it, let us know!

I really gotta say, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. The "Running Slap" (as it will be called from now on) needs to be put on the Dragon Age front page for sure. To be fair, you may have to remove that "please enter credit card number" bit from the video. It may offend someone at Bioware

Could be done. I'm actually not the sort of person who has that complaint, but the Penny Arcade comic gave me the idea that a good 'interrupt' would be worth a laugh. And I got to use them fancy camera effects to do it!

[FalloutBoy]

That was an awesome video! I doubt anyone at Bioware would be offended by poking a little fun at them.

[JasonNH]

That was beautiful. Nice job.

[Benzyne]

The video was classic.. i roflcoptered for a while over the slap.

[Phelissa]

ROFLMAO.. good job bro!!   Id love to see more of this, perhaps even a 'weekly' episode of some sorts

That was just awesome

[FalloutBoy]

I'd love to see a whole series based just on the zombie scene. That part was really well put together.

Ferelden + Zombie Apocalyse = pure awesome!

Hilarious. Lol'ed especially at the army of fatties and the Freddie Mercury warden recruit.

[boCa_1337]

I lol'd most at the end xD Who do you wish to take with you into the city?! GROAAALLL.. fair enough.

[Lathaon]

This was great

[Khpuffy]

Holy crap, the slapping... must be... implemented.
