Muay Thai Fighter

Introduction

This is a 3D tutorial/introduction to some muay thai moves. There is a set of 8 preprogrammed moves, 2 with 2 parts, and 1 with 3. This is also a modeling program that puts you in control of the figure. You can move each body part independently and rotate entire figure in every direction. When you are done modeling a move you can either print it to the console for hardcoding, or you can directly save it.

Overview

Over all I am satisfied with my results. The only thing I really wish I could have found was better textures for the mapping on the figure. I would have also liked to set a background. There was a lot of functionality in this program it can be reused to save and show movements for any kind of matial arts or even dancing etc. I implemented texture mapping, a heirachical model, lighting/shading, and implied animation. I think adding the saved moves allows the user to get a feel for how to create positions so that they could understand a little more what went into the animation.

About The Project

There are 2 save slots that allow you to save your move and later animate, through the submenu.

There are several selections for animation. You can choose to animate a certain move by selecting that move. You can select any peice of the multi part moves or choose to see them animated together. Each animation moves from the previous position to the selected position.

There are also selections to display multiple moves. The first cycles through each move in the order they are displayed in the menu. The last 2 cycle through 12 or 25 random moves selected from the list. *Note saved moves are not incorperated

There is also a selection for smooth or delayed movement between positions, so that you can better study the action.

You can move the figure in any position as it is going through the animation and it will return to its correct orientation.
There is also a selection to turn on and off texture mapping. (I couldnt really find any good ones so I keep it off when program starts.)
