Inkel posted:TheAgent .. do you even understand mocap development? I agree with the idea this guy is saying, but I have no actual knowledge on this. How can mocap data be incompatible? Do they not keep the raw data around (because it is huge?) and so immediately process it to some target skeleton? Even if you did that, you could write a tool to re-target that skeleton to another. Or is it unsuitable as in they have already gone in and hand-cleaned the animations so it isn't that they need to record more, but that they need to re-spend the actual major cost which is the hand-cleaning part? Please help, I do not understand game development. Sappo569 posted:Ah the good ol' days I can't believe anyone thought this project would work out as soon as they started releasing details of their development plans. I have posted it so many times; how can any coder of any level think that making three games "modules" by three disparate teams and then merging them together later could work? Why didn't anyone loving stop this retard idea? Can a journalist actually pin him down on this one, because it keeps me up at night wondering?

Sappo569 posted:Ah the good ol' days So many innocent goons, throwing so much money at mushmouth-Roberts It's so strange reading through these old threads. I know I have the advantage of hindsight and I've only been following Star Citizen for less than a year, but all of the red flags were there right from the start. How could anyone buy the bullshit line of "Star Citizen will have everything you've ever dreamed of! Plus we'll do it in two years with a small budget and 20-30 people!"

Turns out I would have been fine just buddy splinting it and skipping out on the ER visit, but it was good to go in case things were worse. I already stopped taking pain meds and so long as I wear rigid shoes and don't do anything dumb it's fine.

The old thread is hilarious and sad. People who I've seen post in here were dropping the same cringeworthy lines the cultists now get blasted for: "It was disposable income anyway!" "Well even if it fails I got my money's worth!" "I have faith in Chris!" I remember reading the thread back then and being totally bewildered by the crazy and pathetic things people were saying and doing. I couldn't go on reading it for long, haha.

The amount of money that moved on the grey market was insane. I know I moved $88,000 (sale price, 40,000 sticker price) worth of jpegs around in my short, little career there.

Others losing spouses because of JPEG debt. And many, many more. Sometimes, in this thread, I start to feel that we're hating Chris, Sandi, Ben, etc a little too much. And then I think: "They KNOW this is a sham. They know exactly what their doing." And I hate them intensely all over again. We say it often, not to be cruel, but because it's absolutely (and horribly) true. People will commit suicide over this stupid, stupid game.

I know people who are deep into SC and they're just soooooo INTO it that any rational discussion you try to start is just brick walled by typical shitizen comebacks. It's unbelievable how mentally unstable you have to be to dump thousands of dollars into this game.

Do they not keep the raw data around (because it is huge?) and so immediately process it to some target skeleton? Even if you did that, you could write a tool to re-target that skeleton to another. Mocapping a few animations that end up blending into other animations is all fine and good, because its usually a brief second or two of animation that your anim team has to hand scrub anyway. Mocapping an entire performance gets tricky. If you're not 100% confident of the take, you can have a lot of problems. You get weird wandering heads, eye darting, jiggling jowls, hands and arms and legs clipping through clothes and backgrounds and other characters and a whole lotta other weird poo poo you gotta clean up by hand. These happen no matter how good your take is anyway, but the problems get more severe the less you understand about the technology and the more you utilize it. What might look great on the screen can be very, very hard to translate into a great performance. What you end up doing, usually, is doing small point captures of various scenes. What no one has loving done because its goddamn stupid, is record 20+ hours of mocapped data. Especially if you don't have the model dimensions down, the scenery already fleshed out. Every rewrite or change is another huge amount of time, money and energy wasted. So in walks Chris Roberts with his directorial dreams, not understanding the following:
To get that into a fully working state for 20+ hours of mocap, I'd say that's three to five years of work across art and programming teams, after the principle mocap shoot was completed. It's about fifteen times longer than your average cartoon 3d animated film AND you're trying to hit the highest fidelity ever seen in this media. That means extra work on hair, clothing, textures, shaders, everything for every single character and every single costume has to be absolutely perfect in every. single. loving. scene. This also means any script changes or rewrites or other problems after the principle shooting has to be reshot, completely redone by the art team and then rejiggered by the programming team. This also means that the game you're building to showcase this amazing twenty hour long opus needs to be built as well. And you're not just building a single player game, but a heavily multiplayer driven MMO style FPS action game too, with hundreds of not entirely fleshed out mechanics. And if you gently caress up and realize "poo poo, we can't get this <whatever feature> to work right, but we have an hour+ of footage important to the game that needs that feature," you need to go back and edit and reshoot and have your artists and programmers redo a bunch of work again and again and again and again and again and again
