If it's possible while you're in there tinkering....

could you see if a plug-in might be written for a Collada export with animation support? Collada is also a major standard in the gaming world.

Well, leaf, suffice it to say you have to learn how to use the tools to get it done.

A Stormtrooper helmet is at its root a cylinder, with the artful use of subdivisions to create the detail. That' ...

Mossie's got it much more succinctly than I could put it.

Use his post as a laundry list.

The reason I say that bones and morphing are "nice to have's" is that they go much further tha ...

Is Collada your only option?

Yes, the flight sim I'm working with will import Collada directly, saving me any "import" of articulated models into the game engine.

We've been doing it ...

Thanks, I'll try what you suggest to get the bones and joints going....

Hinge angle: just placing a joint somewhere doesn't define the angle, especially if the parts involved aren't straight along ...

Just had a look at the Wiki for basic animation.

A few questions:

1) How do you assign limits to animations, for example, maximum angle to which it will rotate?
2) How do you determine the &quo ...

Fortunately, my needs are very basic! Very Happy

I need rotations and translations/offsets for 90% of what I'm doing. That is, moving flight surfaces like ailerons, rudders, and flaps and some more complex ...

I know it's always a sore subject with software development, but these two features are, for me, crucial.

Is there an "expected" date for animation and Collada export features?

I (and a few others) are auditing DeleD for use with a historical flight simulator called . It spans WWI, WWII, Korea and into the Vietnam War, and prides itself on its flight model fidelity, as well ...

I would also like some detailed instructions on this. Admittedly I haven't looked hard (just got this program 1/2 hour ago! Smile

), but I don't see any basic documentation yet... so, I'll start things r ...

I thought it was a mixer or a digital recorder (for musicians)...

Nice basic work...

Just adding some weight to the burning need for this.

You just HAVE TO be able to "get into" a detailed model in 3D view.

Spin, walk, whatever you want to call it... it all ...
