Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

OK - generating a video is troublesome. There's an .fbx in the zip file. Check it out, it's a sample offspinner action.

I have uploaded the ipi bowling project files in drop so that the videos i sent yesterday can be opened on ipi mocap directly and its all cleaned up , just open the project files by double clicking on it and then locate the corresponding video , i can now apply all bowling actions to the mixamo model(offspiner.fbx) without rigging it again and again. Will upload bowling videos tonight for the public.

my tonight (and probably final) to do list :-

1)Wicket keeper animations (position ,collecting the ball off the pitch, stumping)
2)Bowler/keeper taking bails off after collecting the ball from a throw


@kurtkz
Are there any more animations you would like me to do?

 

[Allrounder18]

BTW it looks like it will probably take a month to process/cleanup and then export all the animations in to the game.

Lets hope Maya can speed up the process.

@Allrounder18: I'm going to take a look at everything tonight. I don't think it'll take a month if we can get the key framing right. I'll be importing the newly animated models into the game one by one, starting with the umpire.

The pipeline is basically: Blender (export mesh to fbx) -> Mixamo (auto-rig) -> Mocap Studio (BVH) -> Blender (export to MDL) -> Cricket Heroes (import)

@dancingmongoose

list of fixes to be made:

- stop fielder running away from ball and then chasing it (should resolve the missed catches)
- investigate why catches are taken by square leg in front and not behind
- keeper moving to stumps instead of waiting for catch
- texture corruption issues (clouds & players)
- check edges when batting against swing
- fielders close behind square get moved to slip for spinner

That sound about right?

 

[dancingmongoose]

^The last one is any fielder close behind square getting moved

Played the game last night and found out that it is now become too easy to get lbws and bowled on pro difficulty AI only manages 89/7 in 20 overs the pitch was in late 40s.

Didnt post that last night because I thought it will distract your mocap work.

@Allrounder18: Hmm - can you replicate that score again? Just need to make sure it's not a once-off.

@dancingmongoose: Thanks, will update the list

BTW 3 videos are of extremely poor quality , 3 are decent.

 

[Allrounder18]

I wish some how we get our hands on a decent models , this model wont do justice to the quality of animation

 

[Allrounder18]
