@Lucian86
maybe you should try like suvurvius said...nadal volleys and fh slice, and maybe smash too
I know that you gonna try this anim for all the top ten players..i guess...
Maybe i could do some of this acc anims with the ones I made ... we can talk about this in the future (if you want to)

For the volleys, I don't think I'll make some for Nadal because they're pretty hard to do; it's not that they're difficult "per se" but it's hard to make them look good inside the game with different heights, lengths and so on. Maybe I'll adjust the initial and the final position with Nadal's ones. Anyway, you'll se that Fed's volleys are really good especially the forehand volley.
I don't know about the smash...it could be done...I'll see ! If one day I'll feel in the mood to create it I may do it.

Hi people, a new fixed Cilics Serve,.. Thanks to Lucian86 for help me with the servicewaiting... now im ready to try more services..Thanks man. '
Heres the vid:

It's really good and your anims becomed very smooth lately...congrats

A couple of observation if I may :
1. When the player is fully stretched, I think he bends a little too much the knees..Take a look here at the angle in blue:

In your animation, the angle is definitely more acute
2. You could bend his body a little bit less (not much since he's bending it the most in ATP I think)
3. In some frames, the foot fingers are messed up


Try it to see if you like it ! it shouldn't take long to modify and it doesn't change the animation structure very much
These are details that in the end it makes the difference

of course ill take your suggestion Lucian.. already fixed this things...i guess that s all... a vid in a couple of hours with the final version

Megyaem30, in your Tommy Haas FH is awesome but have a problem, he slows the moviment, like Kohlscreiber BH!

well, maybe I could give it a try for this one... if you dont mind

I'm using federer animations and i get desync error when playing online all the time when serving. I can play only one game and that is when the opponent is serving. And i get sometimes during the first game desync error. Any help?

[argamaargama]

Roddick's FH is good but still looks a little bit robotic

[Lucian86]

Almost finished Djokovic's strokes...it contains:
- forehand regular + acceleration (based on M4n4c0r's animation so the credits goes to him)
- backhand regular + acceleration (idem as before)
- serve
- slice backhand
- wait animation
- return stance

The video:

I'm not fully satisfied about the regular version the forehand so if you have suggestions (videos for example), just let me now.
Maybe I'll make the kick serve as well

[SamModder]

Super work Lucian, both on Nadal and Nole. Thank you Maybe you can do Ferrer's different forehands next?

Hello Lucian, great animations once again, however:
I dont see the racquet standing like this during the impact with the ball on the backhand: http://resources1.news.com.au/images/20 ... okovic.jpg

in your animation the racquet goes from left to over the right hand's shoulder, but in reality it goes from left to right as it circles his body. hope u know what i mean. let me know what u think.

PS: are you working on these animations for TE 2013 or are them for the next update? if so, when is the game going to be updated? cos its been a while since the last update and im rly looking forward to playing with your animations. thank you for ur work again and keep it up

Actually I didn't modify much the body rotation from M4n4Cor's animation...anyway I think it does:


The racquet is a little bit lower but it's the right height for the game otherwise it will look bad with the low balls.

in your animation the racquet goes from left to over the right hand's shoulder, but in reality it goes from left to right as it circles his body. hope u know what i mean. let me know what u think.

I didn't unterstand what you mean..could you explain it better

I don't know...we'll see

Phenomenal work with both Nadal and Djokovic Lucian:) Most of it seems pretty much spot on, can't wait to give them a try soon!

One thing I did notice, nothing too major, but on Djokovic's slice backhand, despite the fact it looks awesome, he tends to get a bit more 'wristy' on it in real life than in the animation. Of course, the way he plays it varies with the ball height and speed, but for a general slice animation, it might be even more effective to capture that signature high wrist 'flick' he does a bit more. It's difficult to explain, but see in this video perhaps.

Also, some of those Djokovic sounds I haven't heard before. Are some your own? Where could I find them?

All the best mate

[suvurvius]

Woooowwww amazing work Lucian !!!!! I have a suggestion for Djoko's slice backhand, like in this video (0:17 seconds)



Sorry for my bad english.
