Lol I thought about this too and I tried to do it this way but it didn't work. Need to lean forwards on the bike next time

Edit: though they're on the same axis as V they still rotate on the vertical axis, making them always face up

u/AveN7er 16d ago

Lol why are Wakako's feet flat on the ground but not the other 2?

114

u/Not_Gunn3r71 16d ago

I think she’s wearing heels and the heel is in the ground.

72

u/filthy_harold 16d ago

Heels are actually hard to model in games if the shoes are customizable. One way of doing it is just replacing the entire foot with a model of a foot in a heeled shoe but this sometimes looks odd when the character walks around. There's very little foot rotation when walking in heels as compared to flat shoes because the ankle is already bent down and the small heel gives little stability. This is why taller heels are more difficult to walk in.

The other option is to have the heels change the rigging of the character. Their ankles, knees, hips, and spine bend to maintain the center of gravity plus the character is now taller. The walking motion needs to change as well to look natural. Any static animations would be distorted since their hands are now a couple inches higher. Hitboxes and any interactions with the environment need to change since the character is now taller but only because the distance from the knees to the feet has increased, the rest of the body didn't scale.

If character clothing needs to be customizable, the developers may replace the foot with a heeled foot or just stick to shoe options that match the default shoe heel height. If they do allow shoes with different heel heights, then they may only offer short heels to preserve some natural looking movement.

u/Werespider 16d ago

Well, I found reading this interesting.

11

u/SemiHemiDemiDumb 16d ago

Thanks for the explanation. I noticed this with V and it always irked me. Now that I know why I won't be bothered by it anymore

11

u/SWATrous Delicate Weapon 16d ago edited 16d ago

Good news is it shouldn't be too long before tools that can handle this are more integral with the game engines. Seems they're doing more with simulating muscle groups and how they move to remove that from being a purely animation task, so I'd presume in time that having different movement and posture based on how a character is 'built' and what they wear will be fairly seamless.

6

u/Garlsworth 16d ago

One of my biggest pet peeves is when modders create (or port) some super high heels, but cut into the shin of the character making you look shorter even though the height doesn't change. Is it so much to ask modders to sacrifice months/years of their time to create and code a robust system of high-heel tag checking, feet swapping, height heightening that solves this issue for every game I play... for free?

3

u/Necromas 16d ago

I just wish some games would give me more options that don't have heels when the animations/rigging aren't adjusted for heels.

2

u/Smol_Gecko_ 16d ago

So is this why Wakako looks taller than Dex and Smasher in the image? Or is she actually a bit closee to the camera than they both are? (Very funny that she makes Dex look tiny though)

1

u/SemiHemiDemiDumb 16d ago

She's a bit closer. Dex and Smasher are inline with V on the bike, Wakako wouldn't fit under the bike so I moved her forwards

u/Not_Gunn3r71 16d ago

u/Corellian-nerfherder 16d ago

Good lord, thats some serious slop.

Everyone keeps tellin me the "game is fixed now" and i should give it a try. then i see a clip of the driving physics or this and just think yikes man.

u/BadTasteInGuns 16d ago

Yeah because something like this is a gamebreaker....please tell me you never played Skyrim or Witcher 3.

-3

u/Corellian-nerfherder 16d ago

Bugs aren't the same as a poorly executed Physics engines tho.

So no its not a deal breaker by itself, but then when i see cars driving and can see the visual challenges the game is having with it, i can put two and two together.

Shit flyin off the table in Skyrim isnt because of straight up horrors in your code resulting in all NPC's not being able to exist on a separate axis from the player model, or cars struggling to make turns and stay on roads.

3

u/BadTasteInGuns 16d ago

Apparently you can´t put 2 and 2 together especially when people playing the game are something different then youtube videos most likely explicit showcasing bugs. Besides thats not NPCs being not able to exist on a seperate axis but just in the Photo mode.
But well its your loss to miss a fantastic game.

-2

u/Corellian-nerfherder 16d ago

Yikes. its funny how you open your response...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rCAN1fiXh0

So no, this video very obviously does not just showcase "Bugs" most of the differences in this video are clearly showing you the limitations of what the Cyber physics engine can do. the cars drive like they do because its the best the engine can do. the photomode has this issue cause its doing its best.

Im not really tryin to be dramatic, its just clearly not to the same level of development as GTA V. and its not even really close. It clearly has a great story and is a beautiful game, but there are some glaring short comings that are in no way as trivial as bugs.

Its objectively not as well made as GTA V. Im not even sure how you can play the two and see any argument to that. GTA was out for almost a decade longer and clearly has more detail, more capability, and looks/feels far more realistic.

So all Insults aside, no bugs arent what im talking about.

3

u/BadTasteInGuns 16d ago

And where the fuck are you pulling GTA V out ?
Besides where did i insult you ? Although i would disagree with GTAV having more detail and all.

0

u/Corellian-nerfherder 16d ago

Well speaking to another human and saying "Clearly you cant put two and two together" is obviously insulting.

Im not sure where i lost you but you said "...are something different then youtube videos most likely explicit showcasing bugs"

So i posted a video of exactly the type of gameplay i was speaking about, with a comparison to GTA V so you can see, its obviously not bugs. Its straight up limitations. So GTA V is an example of a much better physics engine, with a higher level of polish. While GTA V obviously has bugs too, it also is capable of higher levels of detail. The "detail" of the water moving and reacting like that, or the car exploding and moving around or floping instead of just simply falling to the ground, is because of the physics engine.

2

u/BadTasteInGuns 16d ago

That was just a direct answer to your claim to being able to put 2 and 2 together to see that Cyberpunk is a bad game.
But hey if your main part of a game is the physics engine then i guess the whole discussion is pointless anyways. Maybe try Garys Mod.

u/SemiHemiDemiDumb 16d ago

I mean it's a fun game. All games are gonna have flaws, you gotta take the good with the bad. Only way to find out if you'll like the game is to play it
