Model Edit

Hey guys,

I'm on to something big... A pretty hard and time-consuming project, but it's all worth it.. The problem is, before i can start, i have a question...

Is it possible, with Model Edit, to edit an existing animation or make an all new animation in such a way that the gun / character movements are changed? Not the basic stuff like changing animation length for instant reload, but really changing the movements? If so, could anyone tell me how? If not, is there another tool that can do this for . lta or . ltb? If you have any information on this, please answer!

GreetZ, Basso

First, ModelEdit is not mine it was made by LithTech.

You cannot edit bone animation/transforms with ModelEdit. It is used to make small changes (ids/names/timing/etc..) to a finished model with animation(s).

You want to make new animations (especially with new models) you should use an 3D modeling program like 3DS Max, Maya, Blender, etc. You also need a way of exporting the model and its new animations via plugins or scripts. The were some posted with people having various amount of success with.

If those don't work for you, and if you are resourceful enough you might be able to find a copy of one of my older 3DS Max scripts that do some amount of importing and exporting.

Thanks for making it clear, plugins were posted indeed by supercarz i believe, so i'll try some stuff out.. But as you mentioned, they don't work for everybody. What about your script, would it be able to export / compile an all new model + animations?

That's not it

I haven't worked on them in a long time so they are only half working, and I was more concerned with importing models then exporting so the latter is more lacking. As they are now, it can export models (mesh,uvs,weights), and bones. It doesn't support any animations yet.

But I don't plan on releasing those anytime soon.
