Irrlicht Engine

Any know the level of animation support in the current Collada loader? Trying to find a way to import from 3D Max

Sorry, not supported.

So best method to get animations into Irrlicht from 3D Studio or FBX? Fragmotion doesn't handle FBX properly, so any other method that works well?

There was an assimp interface somewhere on the forum. Maybe that works with fbx.

Just looked at assimp website, looks great... if it works of course! Thanks alot for the tip!

Not so good after all, another one bites the dust! No FBX support, the software has no GUI apart from a viewer with very limited functionality.

The FBX support is just not mentioned in their features. They have that. And for the viewer.. use Irrlicht. Search the forum, there is an assimp interface to use assimp inside Irrlicht somewhere.

Okay, will try the cmd line tool and see if it converts an animated FBX to and animated .x

Well I used the Viewer tool, and it imported the FBX, but on most at the end there is a massive distortion to the mesh.

It also only lists Collada format, I exported a .dae but no animations when loaded into irrlict.

Other formats are obj, ply, and stl.

Looked at the help to see if the cmd line tool has more supported formats, but there is no help, nearly none.

Ah, too bad.
