+---- Thread: Exporting animations from maya [solved] look here! (/thread-7460.html)
RE: Editing animations of enemies - Acies - 04-19-2011
I managed to make my first animation (Woho!). However, it gives me an error when i try to assign it to the model: "Animation were not saved due to errors (blank fields)." Exported it from 3ds as a .dae - then renamed it to a dae_anim.... Yet it does not seem to work.
Why?
RE: Editing animations of enemies - MrBigzy - 04-19-2011
That's not how you do it. You simple export as dae, and then open it in the model viewer. It should extract the animation information and create the dae_anim file.
RE: Editing animations of enemies - Acies - 04-19-2011
I tried that but it only creates a .anm and a .msh. Perhaps there is something I am not doing correct.
RE: Editing animations of enemies - MrBigzy - 04-19-2011
Hmm, I'll give it a try then.

going to try it now
my animation made crash the model viewer
i suppose my propoties of the anim are others that the one of the original. Also i can see they made use of dummy and attach them to the mesh for better animation. to bad i don't know how these works if anyone know, feel free to response
RE: Editing animations of enemies - Acies - 04-19-2011
Hm.. Perhaps it could be me exporting the .dae wrong? Should I:
File-->Export-->choose .dae fileformat
Or is it something else?
RE: Editing animations of enemies - nkmol - 04-19-2011
no i don't think that's wrong. you downloaded the COLLADE .dae exporter?
RE: Editing animations of enemies - Acies - 04-19-2011
Yep I have ColladaMax 3.04c from feeling software. A .dae plugin for 3ds max 8.
Does it work for you nkmol?
RE: Editing animations of enemies - nkmol - 04-19-2011
well normal objects and entities are working for me. But the animation doesn't work for me neither.
maybe the anime needs some requirements, like it has to have dummy/bones or it won't work (don't know if it's true
).
RE: Editing animations of enemies - Acies - 04-19-2011
I've messed around some. Tried different options when exporting. Tried the different .dae's in modelview. Results in modelview:
.dae 1. A mess of "something" which moves
.dae 2. A mess of "something" which does not move
.dae 3. Modelview crashes
Tried opening the .dae's in blender - did not work.
Noticed 3ds wants to save it in the folder /meshes, when there is an /animations folder. If someone gets it to work I would be happy to know how
