Rigging in 3D Max

Showster

Hey all

I've hit a snag rigging and exporting this fella into unreal 3.



I've had no problems getting your generic skeletal rigged characters into Unreal 3. With Unicron I've used a linked objects hierachy rather than a bone rig with skin/ physique modifier.

I've uploaded some videos to youtube, sorry if they are a bit small but you can fullscreen to see more of the problem.

It seems that quite a bit of the translation is being lost on some axis are being lost. I'm guessing actor x can't read them or unreal 3 simply can't handle some axis movement?

Maybe you have to bake the keys to the the skeleton, or actual objects. not sure if that's makes any sense at all. I have never done it, but usually when I give bad information someone comes to the rescue real quick. Looks cool, I hope you get it to work.

there should be a button on there that says something like "use translation on bones" this makes the animation use the position as well as the rotation information on the bones.

it's 'bAnimRotationOnly' on the 'animset' tab in the animset editor.
