i have made a basic model in max 7 and done some basic anumation just to test it and it doesnt animate. i have forever had this problem with animating for DBC. i have tried exporting in both .x and .3ds and nothing happens or something random happens (scary). does anyone know how to actually make this work, im not using bone ani form what i gathered im trying to use mesh deform (i think)

any help appreciated

thanks

kRx,

I do not know much about animating models in DBC, but I do know that DBC does not handle mesh deformations. Instead, you must use limbs. When you create the object, each part of the model that has to move, in relation to the main sector of the body, has to be made as a seperate object. However, every object can be exported together as one model. Then, each object will be a connected limb within DBC.

This is not a well explaination, due to myself having problems with models and DBC.

mesh deformations - when some of the verts move and some of them don't

basically iirc with dbc you have to model everything seperately, but I haven't used dbc in a while, i use pro

ei, long time havnt bin here in forum well krx im using 3ds max 6 i do hav the sam problem and if u want to animate your model with the bone structute in 3ds well dont mirror the objects that you've made, that will causes the random movements... and another option in preventing does f*&!ng random movements is to follow nanobrains words of wisdom,... i know it's hard but thats the way it is !!!!
