These were done with a nomads unit that transforms.
we're now gong to be swapping out the model for our own with their own bones and rigging.
The technical hurdle here is animating 10 000 units all at once and with LOD so that it doesn't murder the CPU or GPU or the RAM.
very very hard to do indeed.
it took a long while but here is the first working prototype.
and 30 FPS ! yes could be better but consider that Supreme Commander never had more than about 300 animations playing on screen at a given time.
this is a considerably bigger challenge and feat!
and we'll be continuing to optimize this going forward.
