Skeletal Animation in Irrlicht – evdude

evdude Member Posts: 135 From: Earth Orbit Registered: 03-14-2007	I made a model this in blender and animated it with bones(it's exported to an .x file). I can't seem to get it to play its animation in Irrlicht. Is there a funtion some where that enables skeletal animation? ------------------ dudey calls...

If even that doesn't work, then it's almost certainly because of the many bugs in the Blender .X exporter. I've got an adapted version on my website that you're welcome to try to see if that helps you get a working .X file. ------------------ http://www.geero.net/

I'd give my version a try - in the normal version of the exporter you need to mess around with parenting the armature to the mesh (maybe the other way around?) whereas mine supports the more modern method - can't remember if it's called modifiers or constraints, but whichever one it is! Also, make sure you're using the "Export all" button rather than the "Export selected" - I think there are some bugs in the 'selected' version. ------------------ http://www.geero.net/
