Animation Support Request

  • Hello admin,

    I would like to pep up my own airports with animated objects. There are several examples existing, where they already appear:

    IPACS: Jason & Jeniffer

    ORBX: Trains, persons and baggage lorries

    Aerosoft: Windmills

    Could you please give some help on this, i.e. a short tutorial how to design those?

    Maybe you can derive it from the instructions you gave to ORBX and Aerosoft?

    Thank you in advance,

    Thomas

    Cheers, Thomas


  • 3D Studio is unavailable for most of the community. Wouldn't it be possible to have a standalone model importer accepting open-format industry standard file types (object+animation) and not just application-specific exporters?

    I hate pointing fingers on Blender, but for someone new to AC3D (and has any Blender background) there's no reason to pick it at 150 USD.

  • Hello Admin,

    thank you for offering help.

    I took the example bouncing_ball_03 from the Autodesk 3ds/scenes/animation/auto_key folder.

    Exported it sucessfully

    and converted the resulting .tgi file with this tsc

    and the standard content_converter_config.tmc

    The result is a bouncing_ball3.tmb not tma. It is shown correctly in the scenery but there is no animation.

    Can you see the fault or give me a working example code?


    I know I need a .tma and .tmb in a folder called animation.


    Thank you,

    Thomas
