animation models not running in irrlicht

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 7:25 pm

hi,
i got a 3ds model converted to directX, and the animation runs fine in directX mesh viewer, but when i load it up in irrlicht, none of the animation frames running at all.
anyone knows what the problem might be?

thanks

Try to open in mviewer.exe ver.1.0 (DirectX) and resave as text file.
And check frame numbers in .x file - some converters convert it not 1,2,3,..frame but 120,240,360... and so on - it's mean you should just increase speed animation in 120 times.

Is any error or warning messages from irrlicht meshviewer?

oh thanks it works by increasing the speed. i had to increase to around 4000+.

oh...actually since there are many different animation in the model, i'll be setting different frameloops based on the frame on 3ds, is there anyway i can convert the frame numbers back to the original?
so instead starting at 100+, i'd start at 1?

thanks

Sorry, What is "mviewer.exe"?
Where can I find it?
thanks!

I think it's meshviewer: look at the directory tools of Irrlicht

please can you mark this topic as SOLVED ?
It can be useful for search

I think mviewer.exe is the mesh viewer from the MS-DirectX sdk...

It's in the DX8 devkit, the one in the newer ones is less useful for conversion. I seem to remember a link for it as a seperate download somewhere on here though.
