Week 2 - 3D Animation For Games

Fun Fun Fun! with the Trax Editor

This week during our lecture we were learning how to create and manage animation clips through the use of the Trax editor, In class we were tasked with creating what was dubbed the "Nordic Skier" A simple walk cycle which we could then create a character set for and clip the animation into the Trax editor.

I found this Difficult at first but after practising at creating animation clips several times I managed to get the hang of it, Screenshots that I took while producing this are below.


I then began to work on Our group animation task by starting to create my characters Idle Pose and animate his Breathing Idle, The breathing idle alone I managed to accomplish fairly easily.


The difficult part of this was when I had to create a second animation that I could clip off and then be used to animate that clipped action at any point I place it within the Trax editor, I found this to be problematic and cause some strange issues with the rig when animated.
