How to Add Armor to Mine Imator!

[corkscrew 629]

FIRST, Enjoy this adorable Munchkin kitten.

 

This is a really simple way to add armor.

 

First, import two normal characters.

 

Next, take a skin that has ONLY armor and nothing else and put that on one of the characters.

 

Third, change  the alpha on all parts of the body of the armor character except the one(s) you want to 0%.

 

Then, say you have the helmet, go to instances.

 

After that, click on the armor character and tick the box saying 'lock to parent'.

 

Now, set the parent as Steve>head.

 

Finally, resize and re-position the part to your heart's content!

 

It's so simple it'll leave you saying:

Just a tip as the armor does have gaps here and there, add your skin to the parts with gaps. Excluding the helmet Or you could parent every body part :Z Unless that's what you mean by 'put on'

Huh, I didn't notice that.  But good tip.

Or, you can finish animating a person, duplicate him, choose a skin that looks like armor, then re-size the duplicated character. DONE! But, yeah... This works too.

Haha ye- no, because it doesn't have the armor protruding for a 3D look. And what if you want it to come off?

how I have to get that skin?

[Sickmind33 197]

Why don't I just make an armor set for everyone to use?

[Lord Cat 647]

Or dowload someones rig for 3d armor and done

Or dowload someones rig for 3d armor and done

That ends up taking more time and space. Armor rigs can be upwards of 30+ items, or are made of several cumbersome schematics.

This way is much quicker. It ends up using less material, too, with only one character per armor piece as opposed to 7 or 8 items per piece.

how I have to get that skin?

Google.

First off, to get it 3D, just highlight all of it's keyframes, and bump up the scale. And as for taking it off, simply edit the keyframes where you want the armor to be taken off, and highlight all the keyframes after that as to where you would like to put it.
