Character Module - TheShubham99/Terasology GitHub Wiki

• replace monkey head with animated cube
  • create animated model in Blender and export it
  • Create particle emitter so that there are particles on movement
  • Remove monkey head
• create character module that if active shows a different character
  • e.g. monkey head
  • create hook for character module(s) to place character
• Add model that plays walk animation and idle animations at proper times.
  • Add model with walk and idle animation (e.g. skeleton from gooey's quest or another model)
  • create hooks for walk and idle animations - to be handled by the character module
• Split up body
  • Create separate animated models for head, chest, legs and arms
  • Integrate body parts with existing animations for walk and idle
• Head customization
  • Add further body parts (eye, beard, hair) attached to the head.
  • Introduce component that has fields like hairColor, hairModel, beardColor, beardModel, mouthModel, mouthColor, innerEyeModel, innerEyeColor, outerEyeColor, outerEyeModel
• Add generic way to express animation wishes to generic character module (as module, in engine, in character module)
