| 9 | Just a few words which could help to know how the script works: |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | <H3> EXPORTING MESHES: </H3> |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | <H4> Vertices and TVertices:</H4> |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | Vertices describes where faces are and tvertices how faces will be mapped. |
|---|
| 16 | <U>There is no link between their numbers in 3dsmax.</U> |
|---|
| 17 | But as it is said in the Maxscript Reference there are as many face as TVface. <BR> |
|---|
| 18 | In order to retrieve information, getFace() and getTVFace() link vertices and tvertices. |
|---|
| 19 | <BR> |
|---|
| 20 | This is the same problem with colour vertices ( function is caled getVCFace() ). |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | <H4> Bone assignements: </H4> |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | Skinops provides lots of functions in order to deal with bone assignement. |
|---|
| 25 | So the mesh MUST have a Skin modifier.<BR> |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | <B>NOTA</B>: In order to increase speed when this skeleton is used with OGRE, if a weight is < 0.1, there will not be a bone assignement. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | <H3>EXPORTING SKELETONS</H3> |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | <H4>Key controllers:</H4> |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | Script reads controllers of bones which are in skeleton, in order to knwo when it should set a keyframe.<BR> |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | <H4>Position and rotation in XML file</H4> |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | Bones position always refers to parent coordinates. Initial rotation must be set in parent coordinates too.<BR> |
|---|
| 39 | But then, in tracks, rotation and position are relative to their first value. (Hmmm, sorry I don't find the words to explain that...) |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | <H3>OTHERS</H3> |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | <H4>3ds max objects name</H4> |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | Caution: When a name is "Left Arm", the name to select this object is Left_Arm. |
|---|
| 46 | So there is a function in usefulfns.ms which does replacement. |
