Spore multi-legged animation import finding

So, if you guys ever installed my or Mx3's dance mods, you'll notice that the animation for creatures with more than 2 legs tend to mess up especially when the creature spin around to any orientation that isn't straightforward. As seen here:

This is because most available animations out there are made for bipedal humanoid models, and does not take into account of multi legged rigs. This cause for the legs in positions far away from the body to not move to the new positions the torso has rotated to.

However, as you can see with vanilla Test Drive animations such as Hippity Hop, Flowers, Space Walk, these are work with creatures with different leg configurations. So how do they do that?

This is because instead of moving just the Root bone of the creature, they also move the Creature Frame. And naturally, the legs/feet are coded to move accordingly to this frame. But this is isn't the case however if the legs animation info keyframe has -flags 0x2. This cause the leg to simply animate as programmed without trying to accommodate to the Creature Frame.

And from what I found: the Creature Frame bone is responsible for the XY translation of the creature, and most of Z rotation, while the root bone is responsible for the Z translation and XY rotation a bit of the Z rotation (we'll get to that later). the other parts also function the same way as the root bone.

So now the question is, how do you turn a bipedal animation you found online into a Spore's animation that fits for most multi legged models?

While there are many ways I can approach this, I chose to use the Blender hip bone to drive the Spore Creature Frame XY translation and Z rotation, and the other animations will be adjusted to animate only in reference of that creature frame bone. This last part is difficult because the math is quite complex. But luckily, the Bone Constraints in blender has an option to use frame of reference.

What I did was making multiple dummy bones (green - because they have bone constraints) that animate similar to the absolute position of the model, but only in reference of the creature frame.

The bone constraints look like this (example: left feet):

Now, in order to export my animation, I choose the convention of animating the front legs with the -flags 0x2 in order to allow them to be more expressive and normal, while the hind legs don't have that so they will adapt to the creature's frame. And if you put the animation channel of the front legs before the hind legs, it will be used as the default when your creature only has 2 legs.

And the result is this:

As you can see, it's a lot better, but still tend to jerk a bit. This I think is because I attribute all of the Z rotation to the Creature Frame. While likely what happened in vanilla animation, the Creature Frame is only attributed to large changes/ low update frequency animation, while the root and other bones is in charged of smaller changes/rapid animations, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Note: I've also used this technique to adapt the camera motion as well, and while it looks relatively similar to the original camera I imported, it jerk quite a bit because of the jerking of the body.

Here's a sample project with the animation, camera effect and sound if people wanna play with:

And here's the Blender file if anyone wanna have a crack at trying to improve it. Note: this file is easier to work with if you have the MMD Tools, CATS and Retarget Helper Blender Add-on (The Blender version I'm using is 3.2.2):

Have fun and good luck modding Spore!

For all the people who didn't ask why i keep disappearing or why i mention a project you've never heard of. There's a lot. And I'm not even including the 17fic backlog. Ufkbfkabfakb.

Feel free to ask about any of these, I just answer asks slowly because of anxiety around disappointing people or just not having an immediate response. Or if they're compliments i just save them for encouragement.

having to make the silly little blorbos in my head dance myself is so sad because I can't decide if like.

So Soap and Ghost kidnapping reader and Reader being like hey I want to work out bc otherwise I Won't Get My Daily Exercise.

I can't decide if they'd let reader do that or be like no we're going on walkies together. smile. or them like, letting reader do what they want is funnier. Because reader actually is like hey if I get faster/prepare myself for long running or walking I might get out. And ghost sees through it SO easily it's not even funny but still lets reader do what they want. It amuses him. Johnny doesn't at first, but realizes and before he can explode Ghost is like no no let this play out lets see what happens

And inevitably reader DOES run. they feel so smug and like Aha I've done it! Until suddenly they're being hunted down in the woods/by the side of the road by a 6 foot tall military man and his absolutely jacked 6'5" boyfriend/husband/fiancee until they fuck reader into the dirt, not caring if anyone passes by or sees. (If you didn't want strangers to see you be a slut, you shoulda stayed home pet.)

again, y’all, please don’t like my nsfw work if you’re a minor, i will not hesitate to block yew 🫵🏽☹️

[majimasleftasscheek]

your post abt the pest control dudes being sorta excited to do their work at your place is def gonna be my goal and main inspiration when thinking abt having a place to call my own/when I move out (^-^)“>

it's a good goal!! I used to work being a door to door salesperson and one time I went into a house that was themed after wild west stars with cardboard cutouts and everything wall to wall western shit and I was like well this is kind of weird >_>

but now that's just actually me so skdlajLDKGJKDSLAG

I very much love my space being a comfy zone of my fixations <3

I keep having this fantasy of a Dom taking me out for a drive. They won't tell me where we are going. We do for a while and then we pull into a parking lot. They tell me that we are here and take me into a tattoo shop. Then they tell the attendant that we are here for the appointment. They have me show my license and sight the disclosure. Then I go back to be permanently altered with no knowledge of how I will be marked.

[winethorn]

they say if you get pamper and treat a dog, the dog will think of you as a king). but if you do the same to a cat, the cat will think that they’re the king

how true do you guys think this is?

(ok even i can admit the this sounds so cringe. just, uh, please bear with me here ㅠㅠ)

90% chance this is being deleted within 24 hours anyway lol

Brain Rot Thot Appreciation

Feeling a little hormonally awful right now because Mother Nature never gives me good emotions during Shark Week but rather than focusing on the bad...

To any modders who have used my Vs in their photos to showcase their mods on their pages, I appreciate you a lot. I love testing out mods and I feel honored to be included in your mod pages. I'm glad that I didn't let one mod-testing experience sour me and make me hesitant to keep doing it.

[bpdanakins]

the fallout t.v. show was sooo good and it really makes me want to play the games again but idk what one
