Wow, So I finally got my model imported into X10...but with problems... For some reason if i just import the model exported out of character workshop as a static entity it looks just fine, but no animation.... if i add animation to it with the whole FPSC skeleton and bones stuff then use the make Entities through X-files thingy, then the animation works, but my character model looks like betty spaghetti; Super skinny frail and wiry. The wiry version works great other than its f'd up appearance

This is how it should look



this is how it looks

It looks okay in the first screen shot.. Does it just get skinnier as it moves.

This doesn't really apply to the subject, but I was wondering how you got the water to look like mud.

Well then it looks good as a static model lol (wondering why it was standing like that.).. But on to maybe the problem, what is the scale of your model is it all set to 0 except for the scale in the .fpe which should be some where from 80 - 100.
(;orientation
model = your model name here.x
offx = 0
offy = 0 <= might be that if it's a differnt number from the rest(just a guess.)
offz = 0
rotx = 0
roty = 0
rotz = 0
scale = 80
fixnewy = 180
my thought would be more to the y axis cause of how tall it is.)
or have you check the bones and made sure there rigged to the model right..

strangest problem I've ever seen. Your animation software isn't changing the parameters of your model is it?

I honestly have no idea other then that. If all else fails you could always make a Stretch Armstrong game.

I dont know what the deal is with stretch armstrong, but i do know whats causing it now... for some reason it happens whenever i load the FPSC skeleton over my original skeleton, it distorts the figure in 3dsmax a little but it still looks fine, but when i make it an x.file the doo doo hits the fan... so i tried just applying the FPSC animations without replacing the skeleton and it exports and imports into FPSC just fine except my model is a midget (which is a quick fix) and more importantly the animations are scrambled. For example, the grenade throw animation occurs when the character reloads, and the walk forward animation plays when the character sidesteps... I believe the cause of this is that the "firespot" tag that tells FPSC where the character holds the gun is not present in my custom skeleton.... not sure why that would scramble the animations but ill look into it
