If you are curious and take a look at the torso with Milkshape, you'll notice that I decreased the weightings on the usual 3 bones used in this area, in order to set very small weightings on the breathe_trans as the fourth bone this way, the mesh won't distort during normal animations, and the breathe_trans can still be used for another purpose.ĭue to the small weightings used, in order to achieve a visible effect, the bone must make considerable (as much as 10 x) moves but I noticed this allows for a smoother animation. For this reason,it was tempting to use it for adding a little more 3D realism to the female sims. The "bounce-test" mesh features assignments to the breathe_trans bone, which is seldom used in the game in fact, only the afbodynaked mesh has a few vertices assigned to that bone. With any other I'm afraid it will be rather boring, despite all the pains I took in making my first animation How it works: This animation, while functional with any outfit, was designed for use with the "bounce-test" outfit. The loop will perform until you cancel it and choose another action. The "wm-dance-loop-tester.package" will add a "dance loop" interaction to the selected sim's menu.
My heartfelt thanks to JohnBrehaut and Echo for their tutorials that finally got me started, and to Wes of course for making this possible and his continued support and patience!Ĭredits for the wm-dance-loop-tester package go to Squinge for the "Hula dance and more" it was cloned from, and to Wesley Howe for adapting it. Well, these are example files, what matters is to give an idea of the fun things that can be done now Erm, in fact until now I intended to offer a slightly more dressed-up outfit, but for more than a week I haven't been able to properly export a mesh from Milkshape and I'm afraid it's related to my computer dying a slow nasty death. Here's my contribution to this project, but the whole idea is Wes's - I only had too much fun making it work New dance animation - and a little more :)
