Make it walk
Cybertown avatars Jobs Help Related sites The avatars you make in Avatarstudio 1.0 are not walking.
You need to modify the vrml code.To make your avatar walk
You have to modify the wrl file.
To modify it, you have to add code lines.
To add code lines, you have to open the file.
To open the file, you have to uncompress it.
To uncompress it, you need Win-GZ.
:-)
A very useful software for this is "VrmlPad", a shareware. (629 ko)
If you have this software, you don't need to uncompress and compress the wrl file, just open it directly with VrmlPad.
You can download it and use it for 30 day free trial at Download.com
There, type "VrmlPad" in the search field and click "go"
Step by step procedure:
First, you need to create an avatar with a walking animation
And this animation MUST be the number 9.
Click here to get a few things about how to make a walking animation :)Note: if you have Avatarstudio 2.0, you can copy the walking animation from it and use it in Avatarstudio one.
- Browse your comp and open the "anims" folder of Avatarstudio 2
- Copy the "marche.LIA" file and paste iit in the "anims" folder of Avatarstudio 1
- Now you can select this animation in AAvatarstudio 1 as anim number 9.A) Uncompress the wrl file
You need Win-GZ for this.
It's a small program like Win Zip
The only difference is that this one is made to compress and uncompress vrml files only (avatars and all 3D objects)Download Win-GZ for free (90k) at Download.com
There, type "win-gz" in the search field and click "go"
1 - Open Win-GZ and choose "Name as Original"
2 - Click on "select file" to browse your computer and find the wrl file you want to uncompress
The wrl file looks like an Internet Explorer icon, you'll find it in the "avatars" folder of Avatarstudio3 - Click on "Gunzip": this will uncompress your wrl file in one second. (You will even think nothing happened, hehe)
Note: do not close Win-GZ yet,
you'll need it to compress you file after you modified it :)
B) Add the code lines below
Now your wrl file is uncompressed so you can open it in Word Pad as a "text".
1 - Open Word Pad
2 - In File menu, click on "open"
3 - Browse your computer and select the wrl file of your avatar (the one with the Internet Explorer icon) as if it was a text.- Now the hard part is coming up:
youu have to add the code lines below inside the text.
The best reference i can give you is the line before the one you have to add.
All the lines you have to find are located in the last 1/4 of the text.
It's hard to find them on the first time, but after the 3rd avatar you'll make walk, i'm sure you'll get used to it ;-)
WARNING:
Do not copy and paste the codes directly from this page, it doesn't work.Copy all the green lines below, and paste them in Notepad
Now, copy each code line you have to add from Notepad and paste it in your avatar file.Or, just get the Codes here for Words :)
after:eventIn SFTime Touch, put :
eventIn SFVec3f Wlkafter:field SFNode Vtx USE PointList
put : field SFTime tWlk 0after:ROUTE TOUCH.touchTime TO Welder.Touch
put : ROUTE AvatarInterpolator.value_changed TO Welder.Wlkafter:function Touch(t){ G9(t);}
put : function Wlk(x,t){ if (t-tWlk > 1) {tWlk=t;G8(t);}}
When lines are added, just Click on "save" (not "save as.."),
or just click on the floppy disk icon in Word Pad.
You'll be asked if you want to save it spite of the format thing, click on "yes" :)
C) Compress the wrl file with Win-GZ.
- Re-open win-GZ
- Do the same as you did to uncompresss it, but this time click on "Gzip"
- Now you file is compressed agaiin and you can upload it to your site :)related link:
