Description

A test run of the improved animator to handle the usage of flashlights. Since the first person camera as well as the spot light of the flashlight are animated and not coded it is difficult to get a smooth experience while looking in all kinds of directions using conventional animation systems. After a lot of testing around and running up against various walls a working system has been found. The upcoming article about the animation system is talking about this more in depth so I keep things short here. This video shows how moving and looking around with an equipped flashlight is more vivid and less stale than using conventional first person animations as well as how your player character actually grabs the flashlight from his bag as well as tucking it away. All this can be done with few hand crafted animations. The rest is handled by the animation system. This allows us to create a lot of animations without drowning in animation creation.
