weapon sway

[arnir]

hello Iam making an weapon sway animator.
Ihave already create gun sway like farcry like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy8nhHj0JVk

its easy. it uses only two sin:

Code: Select all

float fracsin = sin(2 * Time * 0.0075);
float fracsin2 = sin( Time * 0.0075);	
	    
//update weapon offset
pos.Y += scale * fracsin * 0.05;
pos.X += scale * fracsin2 * 0.05;

it works well, but I want to make gun bobbing like this:

I believe that this better to be done in animation of the gun, not irrlicht animator. So then, when walking, you just play the animation.

I say its definelty easier to do it in an animation. But then again better as in performance i would not say. Vertex positions are recalculated all the time wether animated or coded. so do as you like.

no, its generally solved by animator. you can see it in public SDK's that includes source code also.
rtc Wolfenstein use animator too, and it have SDK with source code too, but I can't solve the problem: how it works
