Re: Speeder Bike Stance.

The speederbikes in SWBF1 were done pretty well as far as handling was concerned...if a little OTT.
They completely wrecked them in SWBF2.

Re: Speeder Bike Stance.

hey guys nice job with the bike.
I love the 1st person view. I do think also that it would be nice to add some anims to the scout.
Especially some looking around, some bouncing and some lower leg movement, possibly even leaving the saddle!
But I dont think its really that necessary, maybe later on when the build is released u could tweak
some stuff up. I would like to see some more stuff to do with the handling. Such as Air-sliding stops,
a bit like doing a hand break turn and maybe a moment of gravity when going over large hills?

I dont know if it was in that You tube vid as it was a little unclear from the 3rd person view what was goin on. To be honest I am really happy that harry and ryans bike is in and working! It looks great! Good luck and keep it coming.

Re: Speeder Bike Stance.

For everyone who thinks that this is a final piece of work, just remember that it was a W.I.P. and that things can change, or at least that's what I was told. Anyway, I am also for the idea of generic gloves because I honestly found it a bit surprising with nothing between the view and the handle bars.

But either way, it looks great.

Re: Speeder Bike Stance.

If you can't/don't have the time to do the glove thing, you could push the center of view forward a bit so that it isn't so obvious that there are no arms.

Re: Speeder Bike Stance.

Oh by the way....
Everyone who has seen World of Warcraft, you know the biggest game ever.
In this game u can level ur character up to a maximum of 60 (or 70 in the new burning crusade)!
The higher in level u go, the more things u get. A friend of mine is a level 62 elf warlock and rides about for hours and hours on the back of a large sabre toothed tiger!
NICE!! But what am I rattling on about????

There are NO animations at all from the rider of the Tiger, but only from the tiger itself!
So is it rally that important to make these tiny chnages to the rider of the speeder bikes' position???
In World of Warcraft, about 9 million people who play the game think not!
