For you custom modelers, read this

[supercarz1991]

I found this info today while doing some research on the lithtech Engine...i'd use this info more as a GUIDE rather than fact because Doobic/Nexon probably changed this a little bit

/*!

when you custom model swap are you importig stuff from other games?

[Jack]

None of those matter for custom models. Unless you are making a custom character which is waaaay too much work.

But child models don't matter for weapons.

Materials don't matter, because you're only skinning.

Trackers don't matter, because you're not doing any motion tracking with guns.

But good find!

anibase = child model of guns

anibase = child model of guns

There are far more than 8 animations in each anibase.

Actually, now that I think about it, a lot of models don't even have a Pre/Post anything ani, nor do they have a dryfire animation. That probably makes 8.

the child model aka anibase (or ani_g) isn't the ANIMATIONS. its the LTB that houses the animations >.<. And if your meaning how there are different pvmla's and such for each, thats because of different models being needed. Each of those links to 1 child model

But if you convert the Anibases into ltas and open them in model edit, they hold all the animations..

EXACTLY! anibase=child model=houses main model animations
