Hey again,
Ok I decided to download the trail of Character Fx and give it a go. Pretty good program too. Just one problem, no matter what I set the export settings to for the .x export, all I get in dbpro is a model with no animations.

The code I'm using to test the animation is very minimalistic:


Any help on what I should set the settings to or whether I've done something stupid in my code would be highly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Sina.

In the sticky thread at the top of this 3d board - "mesh deform control in DB using limbs" I think (on the first page at the top) theres a tutorial on how to export them properly. If it still doesnt work it could be down to the fact its a trial version, but if I remember right its unrestricted for 30 days.

ZEDWARE website coming soon... //END TRANSMISSION//

Thanks for the advice M00NSHiNE
Hmm, ok I now get a slight twitching action in my model.
I guess Character Fx doesn't use the JT exporter to export .x files there's probably something I'm still not setting right.

Are there any Character Fx users out there that can tell me what export settings they use?

Also, could I be getting this problem if some of my vertexes are assigned to more than one bone?

Thanks again,
Sina.

Ok, I'm getting a little desperate now. I'd really like to get Character Fx to export properly because it seems like a great little program. Surely there are other Character Fx users out there?
Sorry If it seems I'm pushing people but I really would like to buy this program if I can get it working.

On another note: http://www.irobotnow.com/index.phpLooks pretty cool. I can't say whether there's any truth to it though, because the Learn More page doesn't seem to be working on my computer at the moment. Reminds me of Bicentenial Man.

Oh boy! Found the solution to my problem. All I had to do was set the animation scaling to 0. It seems to cut the animation short if its set to anything else.

Anyway sorry for bitching so much
