Now, make sure you know what is each animation (when it triggers) how each animation begins and which frames it ends at, generally, it begins with the normal standing pose and ends at a specific one matching the animation you are at, that means you will select the pose that follows the standing one.

(Protip: Using the media folder can be really useful to know how to animate frame by frame, it has several references and biped files.) If you master the animations customization, you can even make new animations totally different from the ones that were there before. serious, energetic, sarcastic etc.) and move exactly like you can see it in the manga/anime! (Note: If you followed the last step, it should be Goku's animations poses, if you don't see any pose when moving the slide bar, please re-do the last step carefully)Įach pose is part of an animation, animations change the way you see your character in the game, so you can make your favourite character look the way you want (for example. You can now see the various poses your character has! In this step, you will learn the basics of animation, how to edit/make your own frames and even how to make facial/clothing animations using "Morph targets".įirst, you have to make sure your character has the 509 frames you added it in the last step, just put your mouse on the animations' slide and try to move it left to right and vice-versa: Third Step :Customizing Animations and Applying Morph Targets You can move to the next step if you want (certainly) to edit some or all of the animation frames or skip it and directly begin the fourth one. Now that most of the basics are done, time to get to the serious things (Yes, it begins from this point! ) Your character should be instantly updated to a foetus-like pose and keys appear in the motion bar, much like this picture. With the bones selected, click on the movement tab on the right, then on the Biped sub-tab, click on load file, select your default.bip file that you downloaded, press okay. To explain, you have selected all your character's bones to apply Goku's default animations to it, so he will move exactly like Goku in-game after exportation, don't worry, you can customize each animation frame later but now, let's apply the thing shall we ? Now that you have it, put it on your desktop, then go back to 3DS Max, click on Select per Name, type Bip in the search field then press okay. You can do that by downloading the default one already here There's some good animations made by Zeth himself in Media/Animations that you can use, but we'll come to that later. You did all what was mentioned above, but your character still doesn't have any animation! It's normal. Second Step: Applying bipedal default animations (3D head, torso, legs, sword, boots etc.) and ALT+X to make them transparent and clearly see the bipedal bones, you can even freeze the objects by selecting them, right-click, Freeze, then you can move the bones without selecting the object instead. You can make your work easier if you select the meshes Planes, lights, cameras and even other bipeds often appear in the process, they can be hidden by clicking Select per Name, selecting the objects you want to hide and then right-click the screen, Hide button. To do so, right-click the screen and select Unhide All. If none of those, you first have to make sure that all meshes (3D objects) and skeletal bones are visible. If your character is already animated (you can see him in a foetus-like pose), go directly to the third step.


Generally, you find your selected character with a visible biped (colored bones surrounding the character). There are plenty of max files in the SVN repository, some of them are pretty much ready to be added in the game or simply edited (Goku,Vegeta,Piccolo,Frieza forms,Saibaman,Brolly all forms, Trunks etc.) Pick up one of those then open it using 3ds max. It requires you own 3DS Max, have downloaded the SVN repository and have a lot of patience, so if you unfortunetly don't have the program or simply aren't ready. This is a rather long tutorial about how getting your (or another's) fully rigged, textured and skinned character in-game with your own custom animations.
