Sub animation

[DanIam]

Hey guys. We're having a major problem with our character. Whenever we're trying to export sub animation (the one when only certain body parts have animation) from 3ds to sdk we're getting weird results. Like bones which shouldn't be animated positioned wrong, or even being moved to 0,0,0 cords.
Is there any tricks i should know to be able to export it correctly?

[DanIam]

anyone?

[cra0kalo]

erhhh
Post me your qc files content

[DanIam]

Here it is

[cra0kalo]

Here it is

Ok I took a look but couldn't really find anything that stood out to me. I would strongly suggest using my qc content and just replacing the nameing.

Open up the qc
and examine it's structure

Hope this helps,
Cra0kalo

We are still having the problems with subanimations, if anyone could just take our hand and guide us through this

This is what subanimations made out of the poor creature

and this is the qc we are using:

If anyone could show some love for giraffe-dog it would be greatly appreciated

Did you use $definebones to define the bones?

Open GUISTUDIOMDL and tick definebones it will split out the $definebone lines copy paste them into a new file call it commonbones.qci then in your main qc include the commonbones.qci

[boing]

Thanks cra0kalo, still the same, but with a new error message

Code: Select all

WARNING: Imported bone jiggleear3 tried to access parent bone Bip001 Headö and failed!

I get the feeling there is something wrong with the rig... will upload the max file as soon as i get it from our rigger
