great looking animations and control... a great start... but, and i'm sure your aware of this, but that's only a small part of making a FPS...

you gotta shoot at and be able to hit something (or someone)... and that something (or someone) has to pose a threat to you (the player) if you want it to be any fun... and the action has to take place somewhere... preferably somewhere with some architectural or natural simulated elements that add to thsuspense and challenge...

I was busy working out the bugs with the controls. Animating the weapon and getting it in 3d rad took a good 3 hours, and I still need to make the primary weapon. After I get the player controls done, I'll add a map, npcs, and all that good stuff. That's IF I even want to finish it. I really just tinker with 3D rad and see what small things I can make nowadays.

Thanks for the input, Mike.

Yeah, looking very good, very smooth.

One question though, how did you get the model? Counterstrike?

jeeez... not again...  do i gotta  check everything that looks halfway decent...

Doom, say it aint so...

Updated:


Added shell ejections, hitscan, ammo, and muzzleflash fx. And I replaced the firing sound too.

Attached an updated demo

i spent all weekend looking for, uploading, and learning some fundamentals of animation... i downloaded and used Daz3D (free and easy to pick up), and at the end of the 2 days, uninstalled it and went back to my familiar, out of date best friend... trueSpace (not 7.6, the older, simpler to use versions 4.3 and 5.2)...

my main goal here was to try and use a few bvh sequences i had,  but it was such a pain, and seeing that i don't know how to rig a model properly, i retreated back to the old familiar stuff...

i can  put together a rudimentary articulated model using trueSpace's IK animation and an old plugin called Puppeteer to link the parts to the bones of several existing rigs... and with a lil practice i can get em to walk and turn around and do a few other things...

but, if you load the Astronaut from the community moon project (still alive) into Fraggy or UU3D, you'll see that the resultant skeleton (after all is said and done)  is... well, lets say it's unique     it doesm't conform to any generally accepted rigging format or convention... but hey, it works...


anyways... back to your shooting anim... which part of the animation did you do... it seems as if the hands model come already rigged and animated... and i'm sure that i've seen this reload sequence before...

it really looks great in RAD, but i'm asking to find out just how much of it can RADsters use,  and under what conditions...
