According to The Agent on a recent ARGCast, they screwed up the mocap Big Time. The Vanduuls (ugh, I hate that fuckin' name) are supposed to be eight or nine feet tall. They didn't take that into account during the mocap sessions.

Normally, when you've got a mocap character who is much taller than the others you put them on stilts or (more normally) put a 'false head' on top of their actual head so that the other human actor can properly look at where their head is 'supposed' to be instead of where it is.

They didn't do that.

So now ALL of the Vanduul vs. human footage has to be re-animated by hand because the sight-lines between the actors are all screwed up. If they don't fix it, then any interactions between human and Vanduul will look weird and janky. The humans will be staring at the Vanduul's chest instead of into their eyes.

This whole dumpster fire has a real 'Ready, Fire, Aim!' feel, don't it?

Gotta admit, that's an amazing oversight. How did nobody notice this during the protracted mocap sessions. Just what are they doing.

VomKriege · « **Reply #1683 on:** July 01, 2018, 07:50:50 AM »

It's hearsay but I do believe I posted some footage of Serkis playing the Vanduul and IIRC he didn't have anything to cheat on height. I guess the info about their size is in the lore somewhere.

benjipwns · « **Reply #1684 on:** July 01, 2018, 08:40:42 AM »

I guess the change in modern mocap is that this stuff is far more difficult, especially if performance capture is involved, than it used to be. No idea what exactly Star Citizen is doing here but it sounds like it and I wonder if they tried to handle it themselves instead of hiring out. Like maybe acclaimed director Chris Roberts oversaw it, not realizing mocap changed in the 15 years since he last did it.

This was the story I got from a few people involved with NBA2K when I asked why in the cutscenes your player shrinks to the height of the actor rather than maintaining the height you set the player as. It's because otherwise they'd have to manually set every other character in all the cutscenes to look at all the possible heights. (The normal NBA players can dynamically look in gameplay, but the cutscenes don't allow it for whatever reason. So they never look at each other, just the "actors" characters or pre-placed sight-line locations.)

edit: the reason they can't just shift the eyes upward or edit the model is that the facial capture means you'd have to have recorded them looking up properly at different heights, it's too complex of texture/model combination to do it on the cheap without it looking like garbage, you have to move a whole shitload of points by pixels a bunch of times

it has a lot of strange problems like this that you're supposed to have planned for as you usually shoot everything not knowing exactly what you're actually going to get back in however many months

Back in 2001 I worked on a pro wrestling game with a create-a-wrestler mode where you could have dudes as short as 4'11" grapple with 7'6" people and it would still kinda line up and not look too embarrassing. We were some of the first people to use vertex shaders to do the heavy lifting, and the core code is still used today as part of FoolLib, which powers the nutso make-your-own-fighting-game EF12. I don't know where I'm going with this story. I like stories

also I remember going to a Microsoft event back in the 90s with Chris Roberts and we did some huge trivia competition and I was on Chris's team and totally annihilated everyone since most of the questions were console-centric and everyone was PC nerds. Anyway our team won and Chris told me that I was a rad dude and I HAD to see his new movie Wing Commander because it was awesome and he even had a cameo in it. I saw it the day it came out and now I'm not so sure how I feel about Chris

i forget which line of games it was from the PS1/N64 era, maybe THQ's terrible WCW PS1 titles where all the wrestlers were the same size based off of like two or three model types with minor differences and there were no attributes for strength or anything so like anyone could lift up, say, The Giant and toss him around same as if he was one of the 5 foot 100lb divas

though actually i don't really recall any of the games of that era taking height too significantly into account with the player models, although some actually had strength/weight/etc. attributes, i'd have to go back and look as i didn't play them much

I think we already commented on it but, even though I am not a specialist in corporate setup, it seems ridiculously convoluted considering their actual activity.

I speculated when I read the British Tax Office documents that CIG filed that most of these were paper companies they pictured usage for "down the road" even though the state of things is nowhere near that point. And that they were using familiar Hollywood type corporate setups that establish, produce, disband.

As an example I used like that intent for a future company that would just produce the ships, or a company that licensed out rights for Star Citizen books (perhaps the Cloud Imperium Rights one), while the main company would just become a management layer. They've already tried to do this with the various attempts at finding someone to handle the FPS module. And their hilarious schedule charts look like a Hollywood companies production schedule more than anything. Also the seemingly redundant paper companies, another Hollywood thing.

IIRC, people thought they were money laundering or something because they were putting cash into these other companies and then drawing on them for the main operation, and I thought it was just bad management, placing money for these future companies that don't have a need to exist yet and months later realizing they need the cash back at the main operation. I also suggested that they might be "promoting" people with titles at these paper companies for future roles that may not ever come to be. But that given the Hollywood ties that was probably as far as the moral/ethical questions might go. Though they probably intend for some "Hollywood accounting" at some point which is the usual usage of the redundant paper companies. I'm not sure how far that'd go in the games industry, EA certainly would have attempted it by now I have to imagine.

As for the Star Citizen family of companies, there could be legitimate organizational reasons for (most of) their existence, they could be the equivalent of your local idiot entrepreneur starting a single member LLC, or they could be an effective way of hiding fraud.

I only make the comparisons because Roberts spent the last twenty years before coming back with Star Citizen as a producer in Hollywood, and that's also his wife's experience. And a lot of this has really looked like how you setup film production companies. Including the gaudy offices before there's even a scriptwriter or director attached.

You don't have to be so mean about it. Such a low blow.

I watched some of Burke Black, Gassy Mexican and some other streamers play SC the other day. It was probably the most people to watch a SC stream ever.

What struck me was how much someone in the group (I think it was Mitauchi the SC fan boy showing them around) kept saying things like "hopefully they'll do this" or "eventually when this happens" or "it would be cool if" as they walked around a hitchy as fuck spaceport. I watched maybe 5 minutes and heard the word eventually probably 100 times.

Also Burke Black said almost nothing the whole time and just kept making faces, like he was trying to keep himself from just completely laughing and shitting on the whole thing.

Overall I doubt they got anyone excited to join the 'verse any time soon.

I don't know if it's a sign of financial distress or them shielding about a potential run to their bank accounts.

tbh it seems like a pretty standard thing a company would do in their shoes. it's probably wise to have a somewhat stringent return policy when you're dealing with people who are spending thousands of dollars on potentially owning a part of a piece of software that might be implemented at some point. on the one hand, i get that some people might wise up and come around to the idea that this thing could be a total pipe dream and want their money back. on the other, i have a hard time feeling sympathetic if you have the surplus income to blow five figures on a picture of a videogame spaceship. buyer beware and all that.

Imagine you live in the 1800's USA. You meet an old-timey salesman and gold prospector. He tells you that he knows about some land down California way which is rich with gold in the hills, and all the land can be purchased by you, right now. All you need to do is give him some few thousands to finance the sale and open the land up for commerce and mining. With the money, he promises to build a railroad track which will link the gold rich land to the east coast and is also going to populate the railroad with the best locomotives that can be designed with the days technology. Many people join in, excited about all the adventure and gold they will get.

6 years later you go to see the prospector. He tells you all about the railroad company he has setup and is allegedly constructing the track to California. He refuses to tell you how much track he has laid or how long it will take to finish. You realize that the company is run by his wife and they work out of an overpriced storefront building in New York City with ornate and expensive doors. While inside, you see they are actually working on a steamboat, not anything related to the railroad and train you were promised. The prospector tells you that the steamboat will come first, and the sale of it will provide the funding to finish the railroad which you already financed.

He then takes you to his New Jersey Estate. He shows you that he has actually constructed a 2 mile loop of track in the field behind his house. On it is an old locomotive leaking oil. Several billboards have been crudely erected along the length which shows poorly painted California landscapes. He tells you that this is where your money has been going, and that this track right here is already better than most tracks which are in operation throughout the country.

You shoot him.

Officially they transitioned to Lumberyard (which is functionally a CryEngine branch) though there's a lot of skepticism they did and that it really was a way to weasel out of their agreement with Crytek by changing logos.

A group of Spanish citizens tries to jam 50 players in a server. The results through the eyes of this streamer are pretty much as expected.

If you have the guts to endure the 2.5 hours of this ordeal you will see a Caterpillar exploding for no good reason with all commandos on board at around the 29 minute mark. Coordinated jump freezes, more random freezes, ursa rover ship physics breaking, more freezes and reboots etc.

Of the 2.5 hours the streamer here probably spent around 2 hours reloading or just trying to regain his position prior to the 5 or 6 crashes he had during the event.

I am pretty sure we will see an edited/cut version of this just with the good bits at some point.

Whenever they do their bug fixing show, the code still points to a CryEngine folder (unless I haven't looked at any recent ones).

Also there's a company that makes a static code analyzer, and they found that Lumberyard has a bunch of logical errors in it that Crytek fixed and Amazon hasn't. Plus all the new errors that Amazon has introduced.

No one I know who has worked with Crytek has ever said anything good about it.
