.X-file issue when exporting with 3dmax using keyframes

badday · Post by **badday** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:45 pm

Hi,

can anyone recommend me an exporter for 3dmax 8 and .X-files for exporting keyframes "correctly" (so that irrlicht reads it the "right" way). At the moment I must set animation speed to 7000fps or so and I´ve got thousands of frames where should only be a hundred.

At the moment we´re using Xporter_119.

Thanks a lot.

Greetings,

badday

Have you tried the Panda .X exporter?
http://www.andytather.co.uk/Panda/directxmax.aspx

AFAIK, its the most updated and best performing .X exporter out there.

Yes, I did.

It´s the same problem. The thing is: Other viewers than irrlicht work correctly, so it´s a irrlicht specific problem. This problem occurs with animations without keyframes as well (I manually set the speed very high), but with keyframes, where I need the correct frame-numbers, the problem matters.

Does anyone have any experience or idea?

Are you using an old version of Irrlicht?

Yes, we´re using version 1.6 with some modification. Might this be the problem?

I think we have solved several problems with the keyframe support in .x loader. But I'm not sure if all those issues were resolved.

I found out that 1 frame exported is about 140 irrlicht-frames. Maybe this can help someone who knows more what exact bug-issue this is.

Or can maybe anyone post some correct Panda-exporter properites?

I just realised that even the ModelViewer of the 1.7.2 version has got the same problem.

I get the following debug message:

Unknown data object in animation of .x file: AnimTicksPerSecond

The warning is ok. Can you upload the file somewhere?

Are you sure you are exporting the KFs not the Max ticks????

Surely, here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4711902/xfile.X

@Bear_130278: I´ll check this and tell you whether it works.

Thanks you two anyway.

Ok, now seeing that the value of AnimTicksPerSecond is at 4800 it might be correct to assume that this value is the FPS value. Right now we cannot use it, though, because the FPS value is not passed from the loader on to the mesh. But this is on our agenda, so we might have this in Irrlicht quite soon. thanks for the test mesh. And please report back if changing the exporter option helped you.

@Bear_130278: Great thanks, it works with your properites.

Could you please upload the new mesh as well?

Very old report. But fixed now in svn trunk r5097. (I got another report about it, just found this old message while fixing it).
