[MDL ED] monster rigs

[FlaW]

Hello everyone.
I made a skeleton for the monster in Maya, and when you export the model maya warning:
1. reading or writing file

While reading or writing a file the following notifications have been raised.
Warning: Null not supported by COLLADA. Node Character1_Reference will lose its geometric information. The node transforms will be saved.
Warning: Null not supported by COLLADA. Node ikHandle1 will lose its geometric information.The node transforms will be saved.
Warning: Null not supported by COLLADA. Node ikHandle2 will lose its geometric information.The node transforms will be saved.
2. constraints export failed

The scene contains constraints. Activate the Export constraints or Bake Animation options before exporting.

no animation, nothing but a skeleton, I no longer do

a model editor crash with errors:

Spoiler below!

Thanks for earlier.
p.s sorry if this is dumb question, I'm not a pro in English and in modelling just learning

You need the OpenCollada plugin:
http://opencollada.org/download.html

As well as that Maya needs to be 2011 or lower. Maya 2012 does not support OpenCollada.



Once the plugin is installed, go to "Window > Settings/preferences > Plug-in Manager > MayaCOLLADA" and check both boxes next to it. when exporting, pick the OpenCollada in the File extension dropbox.

Not exactly sure what "constraints" are though =\

[FlaW]

I had maya 2012, probably in this trouble.
Thank you. have finished, if not work, im write

[FlaW]

does not work ,make the same mistakes

[MrBigzy]

If you're using constraints to animate your model or do anything else, I'm pretty sure they're not supported by HPL2. As the warning says, you could try to bake them into animations, but I have a feeling that won't work.

To fix the other issues, my guess is you have to "delete history" on the model before exporting.

Also, it looks like you're using IK as well. I'm not sure if HPL2 supports IK and FK or not, so you might want to try removing them if the model still doesn't export properly.

[FlaW]

Thanks . I gonna try.
not to create a new topic, I'll write here.
does anyone know, what's the problem:
In maya:

  Без имени-1.jpg (Size: 202.59 KB / Downloads: 146)

In model editor:



  Без имени-2.jpg (Size: 198.52 KB / Downloads: 151)

[MrBigzy]

That's a simple fix, you just have to triangulate the model. HPL2 only recognizes triangles, not quads.

What MrBigzy said =] great model by the way!

maya does not give errors, but the model editor gave a new error:
MODELE~1.EXE caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module ntdll.dll at blablabla, wcsnimp()+3350byte(s)

[MrBigzy]

Those errors are for code debugging for the devs only.

Open up modeleditor.log and post it, it should be located in My Documents/HPL2 (or some equivalent of that).
