Right Roundhouse Kick

Hi, I released the animation "Right Roundhouse Kick ".


I had a hard time a little to make this animation.
I think that there is the personality in the kick with a leg of the rear.

There will be two types about the right kick.
The first type is raising a leg linearly, and going to hit to a right angle on the head of the enemy.

The second type is swinging down from the top after putting a knee inward from one's center, and returning a waist.

I hesitated a little on making an animattion which way of kicking I would make it.
But I decided to make second type.
Because in 3DCG game, the first type kick is common very much and is worthless .

I expressed to do a complete turn by surplus energy after the kick.
Actually, this action is often seen in battle, whether it is not good.

And I made the another version at the same time.
It is "Right Roundhouse Kick with Feint".
The feint to start front kick before roundhouse kick is a popular skill.
The dificult point was slight adjustment of speed.

Please try on them in my shop.

Jumping Backspin Kick

Hi, I released a new Karate animation, "Jumping Backspin Kick".
This kick is very popular in Japan because it has been used by most popular pro-wrestler "Tigermask" about 23years ago.

I also had been crazy about his fighting, so I had often practiced this kick.
Please watch my animation of this kick.

HUD to control animation "Motion Plug1.0"

[2007/12/03]
The issue of this HUD for "Second Life 1.18.5 Viewer " was found.
http://bravestream.blogspot.com/search/label/Motion%20Plug
======================================

Hi, I have completed the HUD to control animation, "Motion Plug1.0".

I am distributing it free in my shop, and I want to introduce function or how to use here. (You can go to my shop in teleport from right banners)

The video that the avator uses "Motion Plug".


///// Function //////
[Motion Plug] is a HUD to control the avator animation by 1 click.
There is a function that the animation can be asigned to gesture and be controled by shortcut key.But the function can be used only for the animation with full permission.

Almost animations in shops are (no copy,no moddify) and they can not be asigned to gesture,so we must open them from inventory by double click, and click the button of dialog box.

[Motion Plug] is a solution for the complicatedness, and makes you enjoy animation in one click easily,by doing access permission at the time of wearing in a mass.I developed [Motion Plug] for my customers to enjoy my Karate animations.But [Motion Plug] can be used for all animations like dances,poses,and so on.

//// How to use ////
(1)Rez the object "Motion_Plug1.0_box" on the ground of sand box or your land.
(2)Right click it and open the content.
(3)Put the "MotionPlug1.0" in the inventory.
(4)Rez the "MotionPlug1.0" from inventory to the ground.
(5)Operate a camera so that "MotionPlug1.0" is displayed greatly. (It will be easy to adjust it when you move up "MotionPlug1.0" from the ground)
(6)Check the "Edit linked parts" box in the Edit menu and select the button modelled the human body parts in the "Motion_Plug1.0_box".
(7)Open the Content tab in the Edit menu, drag and drop the animation that you want to use into Content. Put the animation that are not loop animation in this button and hotkey button.(These buttons do't have the function to stop the loop animations)
(8)Likewise, open the Content tab of the "Loop" button, and put the loop animation such as pose in it.("Loop" buttons have a function to stop the loop animations by second click.)
(9)When you finish putting the animations that you want to use,close the edit menu and take "MotionPlug1.0" in your inventory.
(10)Drag and drop the "MotionPlug1.0" to attach your avator.
(11)So,the blue dialog boxes will be appeared on the right upper area, click "Yes".20 dialog boxes will be appeared,please click thes entirely quickly.
(12)Click buttons of the HUD that is in the lower right area, and please play animations.(Dialog box does not appear anymore)
//// Attention ////
The animation data are sold separately.
Please put only one animation in one button.
If you close a Second Life viewer with putting this HUD on, when you log in on the next time, the dialog boxes will appears.

//// Group ////
I established a group to send update information from "Brave Stream".

"Awa Folk Dance" Animation

The summer festival in Kichijoji SIM was considerably prosperous.
I was able to enter a little at night of 17th on the last day, but think that probably there were the number of people restrictions of SIM.
And many people had been dancing by my "Awa Folk Dance" animations.
It is a very popular dance in Japan.
There are the dance for male and the one for female in "Awa Folk Dance".
The one for femal is very pretty I think.
I am selling the animations in my shop.
The movie is below.
If you are interested in them, please visit my shop from the banner in right side of this blog.

Edit by Poser

Hi, everyday is very hot in Japan.

I have finished making animations for the event in Kichijoji SIM.
These are animations of "Awa Odori" which is the one of Japanese traditional and very famous dance.

I cannot show you them bay movie now,because the event is the first release of them.
But the 1image showing is OK, and it is below.

After the event(17th-19th, Aug),I will sell these animations at my shop.

By the way,I write the important point to make animations by "Poser".

Making animations for Second Life Avator,you should set zero figure pose at the 1st frame.
In other words you must zero the rotary angle of all joints like below.And you will make key from 2nd frame.

After making almost keys,you supplement between keys.

When you do it, you will supplement by spline curves.The spline curve makes the motion natural.In the image of abave,the green keys mean the spline curve.

But,when you see the next frame........
The figure is such a terrible condition. Why?
The reason is that there is the pose of all joint zero in the first frame.

Watch the spline curve at the graph.

The curve is the motion of her waist.
In fact, I want to make the motion like a blue curve from 2nd frame to 12th frame.

But the spline curve makes too big wave.
One way to avoid this situation is to make the curve a straight line.
The orange frames mean the strait line.
But to tell the careful thing, this motion is not natural for human.
It is like a machine's motion.

After all I want to use the spline curve.

To use it and not to make broken pose, I push the "Spline Cancel" button, after selecting 2nd frame keys.
Hey, I succeeded in getting the effect that I expected at last.

I released the new combination skill of karate

Hi,this is the report of new karate animation!

It is the combination of left punch,right punch,backspin blow and axe kick.
Watch the YouTube movie.



This skill seems to be quite popular.So,I released it, and several visitors were bought in succession immediately.

Punches make enemy lean back,and axe kick drop to run after it.
The point of axe kick is how to use the waist and a pivot leg.

By the way, so the avatar has moved just as I wanted, I was satisfied and felt him pretty.

Sculpted Prim by LightWave3D

Hi,this became the update article after a long absence again.

It is the reason why I was not able to update it for a while,that I revised LightWave which was a main tool.So,I have done the setting and inspected the new functions.

It was the plugin for Second Life and "Surface Baking Camera" that I paid attention to in this version up in particular.Plug in called "LWOEncorder" increases one more, but I leave it unattended first of all without understanding use well.


By the way, it is an object like an onion on the Nippon Budokan that I made by Sculpt.
It is in JAPAN 03 65, 50, 26
( http://slurl.com/secondlife/JAPAN )
As for me, there was not the contemplation to this object in particular.
The reason why I made this is that I wanted to reduce the number of prims and seemed to be suitable for sculpt.

After all the workmanship of the sculpt object became quite coarse.What I made at first with LightWave is as follows.
As for the object made by sculpt, the surface is uneven when I compare it with this.
Possibly there may be too much number of the polygons when I made it with LightWave.Because it was hard to look for the number of the appropriate polygons right now, I improved it in this state first of all.

In addition, I intend to make trial and error in various ways.

By the way, I try to make animation hard this week ,because I did not yet take out the new work of the animation this month.

I think now I hould make a new work of combination skill animation of karate, because combination skill animations are popular in my work showing more than expected to.

Thank you!
