Openbve Animated Objects Series Of Games

I love this series of games because of the unfolding sci-fi story arc, mythology, characters, exotic technology, blend of elements of past, present and future, interactive environments and physics modelling; but they also feature some exceptionally high quality photo-realistic textures, lighting, atmospheric scenes, visual effects and a variety of nice touches which help to bring Half-Life 2s dystopian world to life.

Now that openBVEs animation capabilities can be experimented with, I thought Id bring a couple of the things Ive noticed in Half-Life 2 to my own routesno, not portal storms, teleportation devices or xenomorphic creatures wreaking havok in the streets of Birmingham, tempting though that is; rather animated birds and cables.

Okay, maybe not quite as exciting, but anyway, Half-Life 2 features birds which fly past in places, and cables which sway in the wind.

The return conductor cables sway back and forth as though buffeted by strong gusts of wind, and I exchanged the sine and cosine functions in alternating objects so each cable length doesnt sway at the same time as the next, making the overall movement look rather more natural.

Ive amended my previous video with some extra shots of these features.

The passing train is just a fun experiment, and animated objects arent really suited for this purpose as the animated object doesnt follow any track, but rather a direction defined in the animated object file; I probably wont include it in the final release route as theres no sound accompanying the train.
