Exporting Model from Maya - Only Few Parts of The Model is Visible [SOLVED]

**Kixz0** · 02-23-2014, 07:33 PM

Hey guys.

I've successfully been exporting loads of models from Maya 2011 into Amnesia TDD for a couple of days now for my next CS.

So now I started on a Custom Enemy for it, but encountered a problem I don't really know how to solve since it hasn't been like this for any of my other entities.

The problem is, when I have exported my enemy from Maya, it only shows the Head of my model in the Model Editor, Model Viewer and all those.
I have tried to google it without finding any helpful results.

So I ask you guys if you know what's wrong? I'm not any expert on Maya or so, but I think I have done something with the Head which I haven't done on the rest of the body and that's why it's only showing the head..?

Here's 2 print-screens, one of how it looks in Maya and one of how it look sin the Model Editor. (The colorful things in Maya are the skeleton used for Animation).

Spoiler below!

In the Model Editor you can see the Animation Skeleton for the enemy but not the actual model..

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Kix

EDIT:
I just solved it myself! Smile

If anyone else is having any similar issue - All I did was to click on the model -> Go to Mesh -> Separate.

I always choose to Combine my meshes when I make entities, but for some reason this should be Separated. I'm not a pro so I don't know why, but this solved it! Smile

I have barely started on it yet, so you can't find it anywhere. I'm still exporting custom entities from Maya so I won't start on the map design for another week I guess.

You should probably make the model smaller because that monster is way too big. Scaling it down in the Level Editor won't help you. I suggest using the dimensions of the Amnesia monsters. Use their mesh as an example.

Yea I noticed that as well when I tried it in game. Also, I didn't get him to run or attack in game (I got animations for it, but don't know how to apply them).

Just putting up an important FYI here.

Models/content ripped from other games and used without permission is NOT permitted here on the forums.

I believe this model is from the older Aliens game, right?

Maybe he found one in his garden and took a picture. (?)

Well, it was downloadable and free to use in mods for Garry's Mod, so I don't see why it should not be free to use in a mod for ATDD? As long as I do not make any profit of it or claim that it's mine which I don't.
