I know that you can rotate limbs of an object exported from somewhere into a .x file in c++. Well, I use blender, and I want to export an object so I know what the limbs are, like one on teh arms and legs.

How would I do this, make limbs on blender so I can rotate them on c++ but they are still attached to the object? Also, I know there is a command that tells you all the limbs, but how would I set it so that i know what it finds. I think it finds it, but I don't know how to set it so that it tells me.

Any help to any of tehse questions would be helpful.

Thanks!

Start in Blender by giving them names, if that is possible. In a text x file, the meshes all have names. 3DWS, for example names them sequentially when exporting to x...mesh1, mesh2, mesh3, etc.

You could actually use Notepad to change that, although it would be tedious experimentation, finding out what each mesh is.

Start your experiments using the DarkMATTER models. They have named meshes already. The tanks are (almost)completely articulated, you can even raise and lower the barrel using only limb rotation.

Mesh {
94784;
0.182500; -0.609100; 1.419200;,
0.220000; -0.621500; 1.426700;,
0.220700; -0.621500; 1.419200;,
0.220700; -0.726800; 1.419200;,

Is that the mesh number, at the top- 94784?

Thanks for everything so far by the way!

no, 94784 ist the vertex count.

Frame Cube_003 {

FrameTransformMatrix {
1.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,
0.000000,1.000000,0.000000,0.000000,
0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000,
0.589000,2.504500,2.409700,1.000000;;
}
Mesh {
969;
-1.068900; -1.598200; -2.535500;,
-0.024800; -1.642200; -2.502900;,
-0.031700; -1.462700; -2.551100;,

Here Cube_003 is the limb name.

FINAL VERSION RELEASED!!!!
