Joint animation in Milkshape?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Star Ranger4:
Darn.  I can only see one problem with all of this.

I'm too cheep to shell out for milkshape; and while blender will IMPORT ms3d files, it wont export them...

Warlokk:
Aww, go on, it's only a $20 program, and it really is worth the investment... :D

BlooM:
absolutly
But blender imports/exports smd files, that not enough?

Star Ranger4:
SMD?  I didnt know....

BeosBoxBoy:
There is SMD and then there is SMD, in the same way there are MDLs and then there are MDLs.  The file extension is no grantsafe that all the data you want will be retained, just like saving a document in word 5 format will rip huge chunks of data out of a Word 2007 document, even though both formats use the DOC file extension.

As far as I have been able to discern, not all 3D software seems to have the same file format version support; for instace even though MilkShape supports SMD and LWO formats, these are much older than are currently used by the software that uses the native format.  So be cautious when you look at the 3D software's supported file types.  Often times software may strip out much needed data, such as MilkShape 3D reducing SMDs to single bone assignments, which can be a right glorious chomp in the small and dangling parts if you are not expecting it.
