ModelEditor Animation?

**Som1Lse** · 05-18-2011, 07:35 PM

I'm trying to make a new enemy, but I can't figure out how to do the Animation part.
In Blender I've created a small test animation, but I can't figure out how to get it into the game.
Anybody know how to do it?

Any way to do it without Maya.
It's 3495$, and I don't really have the money for that.

yeah, do the animation without bones just with keyframes shortcut "i" in blender... will be very hard to make a char move with this function

Wait.
Doesn't Blender support bones. I'm pretty sure I saw bones in Blender.
I was even capable of making a test animation with them.
Although we might be talking about different things. Not that familiar with Blender.

If you're a student, register at Autodesk.com! Students get free access to lots of their products (there are terms and conditions so beware!!!) Commercial versions of software like that are what go for thousands of dollars.

Well I guess I am a student.
Damn, now I need to read the Terms and Conditions.

Haha the gist of it is that you can't use it for commercial or for-profit purposes. The usual mumbo jumbo. What we do is a hobby so we're A-OK!
