Axe Skinning Error?

SirMustard

Hey guys;
I've been working on an Axe Weapon but when I try to Skin it to the bones in the Model given by Valve it gives me an error and I can't compile it.

It says that it can't find the bind pose for a heap of joints.


Anyone else encounter this error?

Which software are you using?

SirMustard

I am using Maya. I've noticed that I have been getting these errors using the older Models like Axe; Drow etc

Lennyagony

Sorry mate, cant really help to much with Maya. Its worth making sure your exporting only the weapon model and the single bone skinned to the weapon though?

SirMustard

Yea I have tried that; the thing I find odd though is that generally when you bind a mesh to a joint; when the joint is selected the mesh has a pink outline; that's not even happening now ><

SirMustard

Seems I got it to work without the error but now I get a compiling error in Dota T_T

i have these issues with Juggernaut. Just when decompiled bones don't work i take the same bones but from downloaded one.

SirMustard

I hadn't decompiled one; the one giving me an error is from Valve
