Importing .SMD for animation
Hey all, I'm just starting out with dota2 modding, so please excuse any lack of knowledge. What I'm trying to do is create custom taunt animations for the existing dota 2 heroes. I have gone through a few tutorials on how to get started, but where I'm running into trouble is getting a fully functional skinned model into… -
Re: Importing .SMD for animation
Like I said earlier, you really can't because there's no ingame compiler for pure animations yet. Also, not sure why you want one that's already made for that, ANY animation will do the job there, even if it's just the arms flailing around. Solution: Import FBX files into Maya, build your rig (can be very simple to test it… -
Re: Importing .SMD for animation
Huh? I'm completely confused as to what your goal is right now... Do you a) want to bring an already existing animation from the game into Maya b) make a custom animation on an existing skeleton in Maya Solution to a) import FBX files from the zip that you downloaded into Max, decompile the animation you want from the game… -

Re: Importing .SMD for animation
Sadly there is no easy way to see your animations in game unless you decompile a hero and import him as a courier. - The issue with this is that the heroes are higher poly than you can submit with a courier. (so its not really an option, but do-able) TVidotto just posted his taunt like described in this thread. The only… -
Re: Importing .SMD for animation
Yeah, can't load animations in Maya. But you can open the same .fbx files in Max and import the animation .smd using one of the importers. Then export the model as an .fbx with the animation now on the bones and import it back into Maya. Also, I don't really know what you mean by "get the pipeline down" since there is no… -
Re: Importing .SMD for animation
well, I'm looking to do both, here's why. Ultimately I want to make custom animations, with a custom rig built over the provided .fbx files for maya just like you say in b. However, I need to first test the already existing animations to make sure I know what I'm doing when the time comes to export and import into dota.… -
Re: Importing .SMD for animation
alright, well, I'm using 64 bit anyway, so that might be the issue. Still, since it seems all I need to export is an .fbx to get it into the workshop, the plugin shouldnt be an issue as long as its importing the rig. So, what I'm trying to do now is import the animation as an .smd, copy the timeline, open a new scene,… -
Re: Importing .SMD for animation
yea, I tried that, it works, but then I cant get the animations to load on that model. Thanks for the reply! -
