Custom hand animation - Terraxiss - 05-21-2014

Hi. I would like to change animation on amnesia hands. I just want rotate it, but i can't and I must do own animation. What program is better, Maya or 3ds Max?


RE: Custom hand animation - Juras - 05-21-2014

Pretty sure only Maya will work. And I would recommend the 2011 version cause it works best with animations for HPL2, atleast for me.


RE: Custom hand animation - Skyy - 05-21-2014

You can use Cinema 4D aswell. (It works for me)


RE: Custom hand animation - Mudbill - 05-21-2014

I don't think 3ds Max is supported until the beta patch is released (unless you keep using the beta).

Maya 2011 is the only verision that works for animation with HPL2.


RE: Custom hand animation - Terraxiss - 05-21-2014

I used only 3ds max, now when I saw Maya i don't understand nothing :/. It's very different. Is there any tutorial how to animate sth? I imported original hands, and there are a lot of lines around hand. What is that? And how can I move to animating this?

I used Cinema 4D and it worked. Even with animations.

Might've implied that the only Maya version that works is the 2011 one, which is true. If I remember correctly though, the beta patch allows use of the 2014 version too, but don't take my word for it. I think that's dependent on the Collada plugin.

Isn't it because the beta patch allows the implementation of FBX into hpl? That's what the characters for AMFP were in.


RE: Custom hand animation - Mudbill - 05-21-2014

Ah yeah, that was it. Maya 2014 can export fbx but Amnesia can't use it without that patch.
