ascottk - citwatch\Animref.fbx vertex weighting problems

I think there are some incorrectly weighted vertices.

 

There is a vertex on the butt area that doesn't seem to be weighted to anything at all (just stays there wherever the body moves) so if you move the hips foward, you'll see part of his back get left behind.

 

Something is screwy with the left hand vertices. In my new combat_idle animation that I committed, you can see the left hand is doing some strange thing with the fingers. It's possible this could be an error in the animation, but I didn't immediately check that because I didn't put keyframes on any fingers, only the wrist joint for each hand. If you can't reproduce this I'll have a closer look at it.

It doesn't matter how the verts are weighted on the anims anyway, it only matters for the md5mesh.

You couldn't have only one animation with a wonky vertex, all animations would have it.

Yeah that's why I checked the fingers - none of the other anims had that problem :)

 

As for the one on the butt - can't be sure, I remember that happening in a lot of anims in the past. Probably doesn't get noticed because the hips don't change position in many animations, only drastic ones like sitting down or dying.

 

Hm I have a suspicion that that butt vertex could be tied to the origin instead of the hip bone...

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
