3ds animations

Yhoko · Post by **Yhoko** » Fri Mar 12, 2004 12:11 pm

Since the .3ds doesn't support animations how can you achieve animations made in 3ds max? Is there any other format Irrlicht would accept?

We wouldn't want to use another 3d program (anim8or, milkshape, whatever) since our designers are working with 3ds max.

There are exporters or scripts for X and md2 formats for 3DS MAX.

.x would fit my needs, anyone got a link to such an exporter?

Some people here use something called panda iirc.

I have had better success with the exporter from microsoft

I tested it and it works fine for me. Except that you can't scale the models. However for me the animations are more important, hope I can get this to work.

You can scale your .x models using milkshape 3D. Or you could use irrlichts mesh manipulator when you load the model and multiply its size with it - it will resize the bone structure for you too

Does that mean that I can use bone animations and directly export them into .x files?
