Gulbis Animation

[djarvik]

But djarvik,in the serve,in match Gulbis don't make the ball at the V before serving,he stand up and hold the racquet in front of the body and the racquet is parallel with the ground,like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4VU3nN38zE

You right on this one. I guess he changes it up at times. So forget about it.

It mean I have to change as you said or keep the old one.

Leave it the way it is, don't change.

Here,I uploaded with imageshack:
You mean this with the backhand,right:

Listen to "drop the head of the racket" - that's what I mean. The rackuet does not goes back and forward, it drops before going forward.


As for the "wrist part" - you got it right in your images above.

Hi ! It's pretty good I have to say

I don't have to time to analyse the technical things...I can tell you though for all 3 the animations to:
- improve the smoothness a little bit (delete some unnecessary frames)
- correct the feet toes (they're messed up)
- correct some unnatural arm positions that I see (e.g. before tossing the ball in the serve)
- try to create more realistic motion of the feets...they're too robotic (for the serve it's ok though)
- bend the knees a little bit more in the forehand and the backhand preparation and:
- make the player jump a little bit (not much) after hitting the ball with forehand...that usually makes the animation look better

Once again I repet, to make it look awesome you have to take care of the details..don't rush up...it's better to have few good animations than a lot of bad ones.
For instance I've changed my Fed serve like 50 times before getting the final result

Thank you everyone

I do as you said for the backhand,djarvik and I also post a video to compare with real ,here:

And for the forehand :

IMHO, but the video you took to make Gulbis's bh is a bit old. Watching that video and your animation, it seems that Gulbis is using a right hand dominated backhand (it happens when the right hand grip is spinnier, like Tsonga's bh, more similar to a one handed backand than to a two handed one). But looking at some recent backhands from this guy, it seems that his bh is more left hand dominated (right hand grip flatter, like Murray's bh). There is no recent bh slowmotion video yet, but I can link you Indian Well's Gulbis-Nadal. For example, look at 00:50 (the video should start from there).

The forehand, instead, seems to be good, but i'm not expert in scripting so I can't judge perfectly your textures.

[djarvik]

I think BH is very Good now.

@inseedious - I am not sure I can agree with that. Even about Tsonga The last player I remember that had a somewhat right handed dominated BH was Agassi, and even that is highly debatable, for example - I don't agree with that notion. All today's BH are essentially Left Handed Forehands. This is how its been taught for over 20 years now.

I think the BH animation is rather good now. Maybe slight faster racket head speed. FH looks good too. It would be nice to see it in the game again, just to confirm.

I agree with Lucian86, making animations smoother is the key. You can start with this version, release it, and then improve on it with Gulbis V2.0

[nguyengrandslam]

I think Gulbis serve first version is so much to be improved ,so I decide to make a new serve .I hope you will like it

[djarvik]

Any progress?

[nguyengrandslam]

Any progress?

Tomorrow,there will be a new video for his anim

[nguyengrandslam]

I'm done,I think this is the first version(replace the old one) and will grandually be improved .Djarvik,do you think this is OK ?
