Showcase 1: Character, Collision, and Animation

Finally got the time to do more programming and dive deeper into NxOgre. I already found some limitation of NxOgre character because many variables are protected. I'm going to continue to add more features like shooting projectiles and fix the scale-to-gravity (overdue).

Description of Video:
You will see the collision mesh in debug mode, synchronized animation, character collision with boxes, locomotion, and jumping (limited by NxOgre).

Video 1:

Known Issues:

1. I can't customized the jumping thrust easily.[/*:m]
   
2. Animation out of synchronization when recording video, many NxOgre boxes, or NxOgre debug mode.[/*:m]
3. Turning is fast, not smooth.[/*:m][/list:u]

That's pretty good . It's nice to see NxOgre implemented outside of the tutorial framework.

0.9 is having a massive overhaul in the character system. With quite a few surprising changes, so there may be some hope for you yet.

you mind me asking what app you used to record that demo? I wanna show off some of my stuff too now.

I would assume it's fraps.

I finally got around adjusting "my mess up" scale (as objects slowly falls down) to the appropriate real-world scale. Readjust the camera translate and near clip distance, resize the character and collision mesh, and resize my shooting projectile with lower velocity. Rebuilding the level/scene took a big chunk of my time, but it's better than every.

Notice:

1. I'm having a problem with the jump, the character can't get high enough to reach the third floor. The character barely made it on to the box, but the box is not giving him enough height. Need more jump thrust.[/*:m][/list:u]

That's pretty awesome DieHard! That level in video 2 looks like it would be fun to try and make the ninja get to the top.

Curious.. what SceneManager are you using?

0.9 is having a massive overhaul in the character system.

Will keep an eye on this!
