Sacling an already made animation?
Ok, so heres the deal... We have some pretty damn amazing animations created. But for some retarded reason, the model is too large, and rather than just allow us to set a scale in the weapons .def file, which would be the easier method, he reckons that "wont work" and will break the tangents... Which i don't believe but… -
Re: Sacling an already made animation?
Had this convo, was told that to simply resize the model ingame would "destroy the tangents or make them wrong" on the mesh and result in issues... Never mind most other games do it, for some reason, we can't. To fix this in code would take a little bit of time, and forever allow us to change scales, something that is… -
Re: Sacling an already made animation?
Make an estimate of how long it would take to re-do each of the animations. Include the $ amount this would cost to have the lowest-rank artist on your team spend the time to do it. Or whomever would have to do this tedious task. Also include the schedule offset this would require (this artist's other tasks have to be… -

What rig are you using? CAT has a "rescale" rig feature which is great and you can do pretty much the same thing for Biped but its a bit more manual. Note this is really helpful if the pivot points for all of your mesh objects and the rig are set to the world 0 0 0 point so they all scale from the same spot, preferably the… -

I haven't rigged in awhile, but you might need to save the Skin weights, go to the bind pose, remove the Skin modifier, use Rescale World Units to scale it down, then add the Skin back on and reload your weights. What format are you exporting to? Custom? Sounds like the programmer needs to do their f'ing job, and stop… -

Thanks Mark, that will hopefully help a huge deal. Thank you indeed. -
Re: Sacling an already made animation?
Any coders here, or know of any coders on their team? Could you pose them a question. If a models scaled ingame, will it destroy/break/ruin the model tangents? I can't see how myself, and have been told by a few people now, from big devs (SD, Epic to name a couple) that its fine to do, and in fact is a needed step. The… -
Re: Sacling an already made animation?
Damn typo in the name, lol... Looks like when I export the mesh, it messes up the verts and isn't right...? :( -
Re: Sacling an already made animation?
In the Utility tab there's a Rescale World Units tool, might do what you want.
