Thought this might interest you. It deals with Motion-Capturing techniques used to display combat and also for duel videos! :2thumbsup:
Edit: Just realized this has been linked in another thread. Didn't see anything on the front page, so I thought it was new. Enjoy anyways and any Mod should feel free to delete this thread. :beam:
Are you a member of totalwar-zone.de? :eyebrows:
That's good. It should get its own thread so more people see it. Not everybody goes back and reads the new posts on older threads after they see whats crackin on the first page.
If anything, the comments from that thread regarding the video should be moved here.
Wow that looks really good. Watching the 1 on 1 duels on the battlefield is actually one of my favorite parts of the series. Hmm I hope they include an animation where the guy chucks his rifle with the bayonet attached like a javelin lol.
I hope they make use of dirty tactics again. I loved watching archers kick other men in the groin. Maybe point over the mans should, then stab him in the back as he turns around to look?
If I understood the commentary in the movie correctly these one on one battle scene will be a new feature of Empire which has not been in the games so far and that at least this motion caputuring season was not actually aiming at the animation of the battles. Or am I mistaken?Quote:

Individual battles has always been part of TW series.
I got interested by watching my friend playing Shogun & watching a little individual duel on the side of a battle while my friend was concentrating on clicking all over the place.
I once saw a Kensai surrounded by Yari Samurai spin around over about 5 seconds swinging at each game tick, followed by about 6 YS falling down like dominoes, doing their death animations :2thumbsup:
I don't know if those fighting scenes are realistic or not; but pretty sweet that they are using stunt men for more realistic movements. :2thumbsup:Quote:

What was the name of the movie they referenced? I think they said it but I couldn't quite understand what he was saying.
Sharpe. It stars Sean Bean from LoTR. It is pretty good, but also pretty unrealistic and kind of low class. It worries me that CA is using it as a reference, but I will not complain till I see the game. :P
Thanks, looks interesting.Quote:
