Best format to export from Blender?

Post by Jookia »

I want to be able to animate and have a skeleton (if possible) and exporting DirectX from Blender doesn't work properly.

Try this for animation and other information about Blender:

And the best place for plug-ins and its detail information is;

Would this method allow Irrlicht to retrieve a joint's positional\rotational information when the model has been loaded?

But animations don't export from blender. Or don't import in Irrlicht.

You're using the b3d exporter? That's odd, it works perfectly for me

Apparently it's having problems influencing the verts, if you go into the mesh viewer and turn on the skeletons in debug data, you can see the skeleton being animated, but the vertices are unaffected.

Because my objects are parented to the skeletons, right?

I'm not totally sure, you'll have to wait for one of the more blender inclined members to get here :lol:
