How can I bring this into the MilkShape 3D environment. I rather use a program I'm more experienced with than jump into something I will get lost in. Will there eventually be an option .ms3d download for these? I can assure you I may not be the only one that would like this too.
Can't you just import it all, make a new animation, export it as a dsq, import that dsq into shaper with the original model and export it again as dts?
stuff man, that worked! Bones, armatures, everything!
Few problems though:
- model is "smoothshaded" once imported into blender (and when its in blockland)
- model is sometimes scaled and/or rotated improperly
- model view of first and third person is rendered differently (third person, rotated odly, first, all good)
look below you!
Could you make a Milkshape version of it?
I give up on this custom weapon animation.
(Fry? help me...)
That's alright, I guess. I figured it out since then. Or so I had thought. I added a second keyframe to each channel in my animation that only had one, and that seemed to work, but the same solution didn't work for animation 3, which had the same problem.
I was on the verge of pounding my head through a concrete wall when I stumbled upon the solution by accident, probably the actual solution to all my problems all along - because I was using Shaper to import several animations without closing it once, I noticed every time I imported one, the number of keyframes it counted was going up, which was more odd because I had been deleting them out of Shaper whenever they turned out wrong. I was also led to suspect this was an issue when I noticed the file sizes for the exported animations seemed to be expanding regardless of what I was actually doing. I closed Shaper and restarted it, imported the animation to find it counted much fewer keyframes in the import window than before, and the animation exported at a much smaller filesize and ran perfectly.
So yeah, I don't understand if I was doing something wrong or if Shaper is just weird like that, but closing it between exports seemed to work.
While the fact that the lack of support for this animation process (I don't mean from you, just in general due to this being a relatively new thing) has left me completely confused for weeks as I left the animating on hold, I'm really looking forward to seeing how much this impacts the modding community. Perhaps one day we'll get some better official support for custom animations if this goes well.
Still looking for some assistance with this.
one of the few DTS importers
someone needs to record this in action and post a link.
Holy wow
This is new
