My modifications were mainly UI ones to make it easier to use and few bug fixes which were exporter code specific. Does this happen with all animations in general or only with your models? If the former is the case, I can investigate it in a few weeks when the uni term is finished. (I'm pretty busy right now and I cant promise anything.)

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 21:04:14 +0000 http://blackhc.wordpress.com/?page_id=94#comment-313 hi there. i appreciate your extensions to the md5exporter a lot! the ability to save a 'export setup' makes working with the exporter a lot easier.. but i'm having a problem: when i export a set if actions they get exported one after another. works fine, but the bones, that were animated in the last action do not get reset do their bind pose parameters. changing the order of the exported actions confirmed my suspicion. the script would have to do something to the w-key -> clear user transform operation in the blender editor in pose mode. couldn't figure out any solution, as ther doesn't seem to be a complete documentation of the api blender exposes to python scripts. would be glad if you could point me into some direction of use. jan hi there.

You should maybe get comfortable with Blender and exporters in general first because imho the use is very straight-forward and already this picture from the article above http://blackhc.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/blender2md5_new.jpg should answer your question. If not, you can still try everything on your own because there is only a finite number of combinations for the lower part and the remaining infinite number of combinations all lie in a few equivalence classes - this is math talk for: it's not *that* difficult!

I even disabled model rendering in the menu in DP after the project because it was dangerous in its implementation and lots of things were still horribly broken with it. Regarding the screenshots I think if you open them directly (on icculus) they should be a bit bigger.

Some really cool ideas you have going on here. I'd love to see some of these changes make it back into Nexuiz. I know you hinted towards it, in your edu2 postmortem. Does div know about your window code addition? The chat looks interesting but it's too small :( Do you have larger screenshots hosted somewhere?

Does div know about your window code addition?

The chat looks interesting but it’s too small :(

Do you have larger screenshots hosted somewhere?
