Planted Keys in Shockwave supported?

jehuty

hello,

well i have a prob... i try to export a character model (biped with skin rigged and weighted) and a mocap on it. so i had to set "planted keys" for the feet so that they don't "slide" on the ground, it worked out fine, when i exported it everything works well but the feet are sliding on the ground as if i had not set the planted keys...

question is:
- does shockwave support planted keys?
- did anyone else encountered the same prob and has a workaround for that?

it would be very nice if someone could give me a direction or much better a usable solution for this... it would help me very very much in my situation...

thank you.

sorry i forgot i am exporting from 3d studio max 7....

maybe its the exporter not converting the keys?

Isnt there a way to convert everyframe into a key? Could you do that then export if nothing else?

jehuty

well thats a nice idea... i tryed it out... but the exporter compresses all the anim after the export and it happens to be the same problem as befor!

So in other words you want the model to move in space? I mean that you keyframe the entire model with keyframes including its root bone and keyframe it for rotation >and< position.

Then delete the planters.

If thats what you did. Trevormedia used to have a good shockwave 3d mailing list that could help. Or maybe cgtalk?

no... not exactly. in the walk an run anim you don't realy see the explained problem... i saw the prob the first time i started to but IDLE anims on the model. so i figured out that i related to the rootbone some how. everything seems to rotate around it, as long as i dont move the root everthing is fine, but if i start to move the root dont matter what keys i've set the legs will start to slide... i looks like a but to me... i have no other clue about that.

i wrote an cgtalk already but i am reseiving no answer... i will try the mailing list.
thx
