Arthemis Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hi everyone, got a question. I'm using Luxology Modo, and I'm too lazy to learn 3dsMax or Maya from scratch just to be able to mod a couple of animation files. Is there any way to safely convert XP32's skeleton with all constraints and bones to a Modo-compatible format? The usual ".max->.obj" gave me a bunch of pyramids with no bones whatsoever.

Arthemis Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well u can not add any new animations specialy combat moves from scratch so DONT BOTHER. With all due respect, that's irrelevant. I can list a lot of mods adding new or tweaked animations, IMO, the hardest part is merging the new anim seamlessly into the game. That being my problem.

Arthemis Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Okay, got it to work through an .fbx export. Now for the next step - importing an animation file and altering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDavis Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Show me a creature then wtich is useing his own Custom animation set? none of the monster mod has a single new animation. Edited November 14, 2012 by MikeDavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthemis Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) I'm not speaking about CUSTOM monsters using CUSTOM animations. For now. Besides, who said one can't create a whole new monster animation set by replacing an existing one? But we're getting carried away. I want to modify existing animations, something that's been done long before me, using a toolset that's comfortable for me. If there's any way of converting Skyrim's animation to a modo-friendly format, I'd be really grateful if you told me.

MikeDavis Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Pls show me a mod with a new creature that is using his own custom aniamtion set done by replacing the others vanila. Edited November 14, 2012 by MikeDavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthemis Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Okay, you're clearly trolling me. My question has nothing to do with custom creatures and custom animation sets for them - although that's theoretically possible - and you're not providing me with any useful feedback. As such, all your further comments (unless useful) will be ignored. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I already got the part about conversion and exporting. Well, looks like I have no choice but to learn to animate in 3dsMax, and set aside my revulsion for it's unwieldy interface. Crap. Ah, well, it was worth a try. Anyway, even if exporting the rigged skeleton from 3ds to modo works, the animation itself tends to be lost. Alas, no solution for that one for now.
