Bump?

[Kwen]

So let me make sure I understand this correctly.

You have 2 models side by side. One named EUElladan and the other EUElrohir. One of the models uses the original haldir skeleton. The other uses a virtually identical skeleton but every bone name altered so there are no longer any duplicates. You've named the arrows to match the bones. Every haldir animation has the duplicate skeleton in the right place with the matching names to the original.

Also make sure you've exported the skeleton's alone as a new skeleton. When you export the model make sure its being exported with your new skeleton. is should work.

[drogoth232]

So I export the skeleton alone as a new skl for example for elladan euelladan_skl and for elrohir euelrohir_skl with all the changes.

[Kwen]

no. You export both skeletons as one.

[drogoth232]

Ok I'll try it when I have time.

Bump: Scrap Elladan and Elrohir I want to start with basic stuff. In binding I am a complete noob... I tried to do the auto link which failed misreably and when I tried to do it manually I got lost. I could use a little aid.

Explain the problem more?

[drogoth232]

I try to auto bind the wwskin and list all bones and whatnot. When I try to select all the vertices it won't let me. I don't know why... I can't explain more I am at my bros senior pics.

[Kwen]

do you have the arrow selected...?

[drogoth232]

Um its aragorn.

[Pixel]

Im not sure i understand your problem, do you have the model selected? (And the vertices option in the panel selected?)

If you still have problems upload your model in gmax format.

[drogoth232]

Yes the model is selected and vertices is selected. I will try when I can.

[Kwen]

When the vertices option is selected you should be able to (make sure the arrow pointer button on the toolbar is lit) select all the vertices and click the auto bind button.

[drogoth232]

Ok I have been trying to auto-bind some models but in W3D viewer they dont do anything! I know how to auto bind so that isnt the problem. Any help?

[Ridder Geel]

What W3D viewer do you use?

[drogoth232]

The one on T3A. I'll look over Robs tut, but please continue replying.

So not the one from EA"s SDK? If yes then get that one... ive experienced problems with the other one

[drogoth232]

Whoops I am using EA's my bad.

[Ridder Geel]

Wait... maybe i wrote it down wrong... or confusing EA's is good... at least that one works for me, though maybe you should try the other one?

[Nertea]

There's no reason the SDK's viewer wouldn't work on anything. If you were using the original viewer and trying to view BFME2 animations there might be a problem, but this should be alright. Make sure you have the skel in the same directiory as the model and anims etc etc etc all the usual problems.
