Thought you'd heard all there was to hear about vehicles? Think again!

"I often create mood paintings for pre-production of environments and creatures/vehicles." -Neil R (Graphics Team)

"Rich is a hard-working individual who has got great enthusiasm for animation. Characters, chatheads,creatures, vehicles and environments - all categories are animated to the highest standard. Besides being a very skilled animator, he is always using his good organisational skills to deliver any required animations on time." -Rasmus K H (Graphics Team) talking about Richard B (Graphics Team)

Richard B used to be "Currently responsible for animation content production for a new online computer game" but is now "Creating all 3D animation content for a Java based MMORPG, the current main focus is human character animation, but other facets of the job have required the animation team to produce effects such as fire, smoke and explosions using none textured polygons and 100% key-frame animation".

That's some keen eyesight, Ren. :D

I can see it clearly thanks to my very shiny Rendolph nose.

Nice find Ren, I wonder if it'll be a halo like vehicle thing, with people getting in and is on turret or something.

multi operational vehicle that would be sweet! and for more then one player to use at once would make jagex and java so darn powerful

Nice Excellent find Ren!

I'm interested as so seeing how they achieved their smoke, explosions, and fire. Being a master firemaker it's is rather important to me.

Chatheads... something they have in RuneScape.

Awsome, explosions...

OMG Ren nice find AGAIN!!!!

I expect at least modern weaponry now (Guns, Grenades, etc.) Either that or Swords and arrows that explode on impact :D.

Smoke is probally the most complicated game programing other than AI and projectile programing

True but hopefully they will be animated to an even higher standard and made more realistic (though they will probably be robots as it is future based). Explosions sound cool, they better actually be slightly decent explosions not ones similar to when you cast Fire Wave on an opponent.

Smoke is just particles...

Nothing for professional programmers working all day long on video games.


@Topic

Nice, but I mean I kinda figured this with the whole sci-fi thing.

I pretty much expected this.Who knows? Of what I hope of this is perhaps on that we will see some smoke as we fire our firearms at targets. Or perhaps when our vehicles and mechs are a little damage, we will be able to see smoke arise from the damage.

Multi-operational vehicles would be pretty cool. Maybe one could pilot the vehicle or mecha and allow transport if there are no weaponry mount positions.

Chat heads, I believe we will see them, but don't always think robots because it is the future, I expect to see creatures, robots, and humanoids with whatever default headgear equipment they come with...

Maybe the game will have better sound also, and a sky...

The sound will probably be a little better but not that much due to limitations in midi sounds or whatever they decide that use that's small in file size.

It mainly depends on the nature of the game for the sky. I hope they do as well as it would had another half of something that has been missing.

Wow Ren, where do you find this stuff?

ik im gonna sound like im gonna ruining all ur guyses fun but just cause it saus smoke fire and explosions doesnt mean guns and grenades could b like asteroid explosions or the planet on fire or maybe even the solar system exploding and all the runescape people fleeing for dear life

I'd be totally fine with that

niiiiiice
