Arcturus' Animations

[Arcturus]

Epic phail. MD5 exporter for Blender is faulty. Animation looks good in Blender but in game upper part of body is twitching. I didn't notice that before. It appears only if movement is small. If movements are faster it disappears. There's no such problem with horse animations though so it must be something with guard skeleton. I imported md5mesh to Blender so I had to make my own modifications to animate it. I added two bones, which have to be removed every time I export the animation so it's a bit problematic. I would like to try Motion builder. Anyone knows were I can buy a copy?

I saw mb files on repository and thought that it's motionbuilder format, but it's actually "maya binary". I guess I could use Maya then.

Thats what were using

What do you mean by "twitching"? Could this be some sort of rounding error?

I didn't notice your post. I'll make a video demonstrating the problem.

First part is before exporting to md5anim and second is after. Twitching is rather small but annoying. Quality of the video is low but you should see what I mean.

EDIT: Nevermind, wrong thread

I uploaded new animation - idle_standontoes: http://www.dramthethief.com/darkmod/videos...standontoes.avi

 

No sign of twitching this time.

EDIT: By the way, sword is attacheded incorrectly on this guard.

don't forget to upload the maya/max or whatever animation source file on svn.

Looks like he's preparing for a swan dive in that shot.

I'm actually still using Blender. I will upload the file.
