Posts from Modifying existing animations? Auto-translated

By the way, did you manage to import the animation from Heroes, or did you have to create it from scratch?

If you did manage to import it, please tell me what software and plugins you used.

But at least you know what inverse kinematics is.

I removed IK and rotated the animation by 90 degrees. You can't change the coordinate system of the original gr2 Nival skeleton that you imported into 3DS MAX; otherwise, it will be a mess. I was creating a movement animation for a ballista in the mask, and after the very first test, I had to redo it.

By the way, can you share the import/export plugins, or are they already available somewhere publicly, and I just missed them?

I think the plugin for importing gr2 (skeleton, not sure about animations) should be enough for creating animations. https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/other/3ds-max-mdb-importerexporter

Exactly! :smile35:
I even forgot that I changed the coordinate system because it was inconvenient for animating.

Very often, the problem lies in some minor detail that was forgotten to be fixed along the way.

Yes, definitely this plugin, and I already sent you the link.

By the way, footman wanted to ask you if there is any universal way to adapt the animation to Heroes 5. That is, are there any universal values for the distance the model needs to be moved and the length of the frames? Or does it always require improvisation and adaptation?

What does this have to do with it? I was asking about something else.
And by the way, yes, there are definitely not enough bones for creating an animation. I mean, not enough for creating a proper animation.

If it weren't for these minor errors, I could easily create a hero in 15 minutes at most, not counting the creation/editing of textures.

And I wouldn't be going crazy because the animation hasn't been working for the second day.

He created the animation himself, and gr2 imported the skeleton using this plugin.

Well, I prefer standardization (for 4 upgrade levels, the animation is looped 4 times, and they move along the Y coordinate by a distance of 10), but the cavalry unit doesn't fit this standard, so I had to loop its animation 3 times and increase the movement to 12.5 along the X coordinate. This makes it the first unit exported using a coordinate system change.
