Impressive. Good audio! Ain't nothing like a good clanging head on the pavement.

06/01/11(Thu)00:17

LOL! The sounds were great! XD
Yellow hitting his head at the last was too funny!

thanks grim and jesus! silly orange fails!!! :D

>>7633 i did have to manually plug in sounds, as well as move the camera around to wherever i wanted it. sound editing is fun, though i missed a few cues, i'm noticing! i need more experience with the physics engine so i can create moving, interactive objects with the ragdoll.

glad you enjoyed it! :)

>>7631 HA Ha Ha. the sounds make it perfect XD
Did you have to manually add each sound or can you make the renderer/video compiler sort that out for you?
I love ragdoll physics. Perhaps you can create some nice accidents for us to see XD

05/01/11(Wed)19:08

>>7612 that's the spirit, skywraith! ;)
>>7614 welcome aboard, seafox! hang on to your hat!!

05/01/11(Wed)19:08

grim, are you playing this one? you are the champ and if you lose, you are no longer the champ and we don't need to do a showdown! so which would you prefer?

the race is ready to play when we're clear here

05/01/11(Wed)13:22

Raspberry delight!

05/01/11(Wed)05:19

thanks, skywraith! this one certainly pales in comparison to the next one!

04/01/11(Tue)19:27

>>7589 the gap between the parts expands when something hits it perfectly and that something connects itself to the invisible hinge.. i have no clue why.

i have no idea how to make a game, but the next ragdoll race is complete and it is quite epic! :)

04/01/11(Tue)19:25

I chose blue too before I watch the vid. It's my default color :oP
That's pretty nifty stuff there Vis!

04/01/11(Tue)13:12

I've seen that before in ragdoll games! Is it some sort of glitch?!

04/01/11(Tue)03:07

thanks oddo and goodgrief!

based on what i've seen, i've made some changes so the ragdolls cannot have objects "attach" themselves to their joints, like for green. and they can't get sandwiched like yellow! :)

03/01/11(Mon)11:58

Pretty darn good, vis. Ooooow! Sticks and stones have broke my bones.

03/01/11(Mon)11:44

My man was at the back from the start but almost got back into it :)
I like it vis nice work

02/01/11(Sun)23:22

>>7575 yeah.. i moved the camera around :) thanks, ftcyp!

02/01/11(Sun)23:01

That was enjoyable :)

How does it choose which doll to follow, or was that you?

02/01/11(Sun)22:08

this was fun to make! the next one is done and needs to be rendered. i'll post the colors when available! :)

02/01/11(Sun)21:58
LOL!!

YAY! 1st win for me!

Nice obstacle course. I presume adding blood is too difficult? Maybe shattering bones sound is easier ;)

SeaFox secret desire has finally surfaced LOL

02/01/11(Sun)21:45

>>7567 Fantastic! I love ragdoll stuff! :D Can you make a ragdoll video game!
This is great!
Next make ragdolls of all our caricatures, and fix it like "Falling Girl"!
(i ask for a lot don't i) :D

02/01/11(Sun)20:31

ok guys, remember, this is an experiment for me - my first one of these animations using physics and game engine in blender. the next one will be better, with sound and smoother animation.

i had no hand in who won the race - it is totally random. thanks for being part of it!!

Oddo - Green
Grim - Blue
GoodGrief - Yellow
