Thank you for your response! I always suspected the rockets might be a bit overpowered, but the community sort of died out before we had a chance to test them properly. I will see if maybe i can try to fix that.

The add-on currently does not support IK animations, you have to bake them down into keyframes and export that. It might be possible to place keyframes manually in different places of your IK animations for each bone.

can you fix it

Is it a static model, or an animated one? If there are animations, you need to make sure that the pose at frame 0 is the base/reference pose (i usually add keyframes at frame 0). All animations also need to be in a single timeline with timeline markers denoting the start and end of each (see tutorial). Ideally, you want your model to face the forward direction (press numpad 1 to view front view), but you can also specify a front and up axis along with a global scale in the export settings. You might also want to add event objects for sounds, footprints, etc. (press space and search for "add event object").

All animations in a single timeline...? Show me an example screenshot.

I have a link to a BMP-3 tank blend file in the exporter thread. You can open it and check.

Sorry for the late response: I would, but those models are specifically tailored for that map and would not work properly as regular units. For instance, the hull pieces and sails are separated as attachments to allow for scripted damage models, all animations are scripted, etc.

No worries, thanks for replying!

I take it that combining it would be too much work, eh? Anyways, I love them. Both the models and the map =)

Once again, thanks for your work!

P.S. Can we expect more modern post-apo models from you? I am creating a modern campaign and I found your ruined buildings extremely useful ^^

We will see, but for now i recommend that you check out the models section on XGM, they have quite a few post apocalyptic models: https://xgm.guru/p/wc3/tag/model

Are you using my Blender plugin for this? The workflow involves converting the model into .mdl and then using another tool to convert it to .mdx. One common issue people have is that they import their textures with wrong paths. You need to convert your .png textures to .blp using a tool such as Wc3Viewer, and then inside the import manager, you need to remove the "war3imported\" part of the path. Inside Blender, you need to make sure that the path to the texture is "TextureName.blp".

No, i have been thinking about doing that, but the problem is that they are not like regular models... they are split up into separate sections where the hull pieces and sails are attachments which can be swapped out. They also don't have any animations since that is all scripted in the map.

Ah... yeah that'd be an issue, if you ever could complete them as in just have them be like fully repaired state with maybe some basic animations, it'd be a god send to pretty much any medieval/colonization map, anyways love from here, using your pine models, they're pretty good too!


Also one extra thing, I saw that you posted in your native american models comments that you were going to release a pack or something like that, was that 2 models or were/are more units that weren't released?

There is more stuff - this you can have if you want. Not all of it is properly animated though, but i might try to remedy that.

Granted!

I actually attached them in a post in the same thread. Unfortunately i don't remember the author's name.

Wasn't it "olofmoleman"?

He did the Moria doodads, but i don't think he did the rocks!

Please give us the ending we deserve!

Sure, go ahead! Looks very nice!

Hi, sorry for the very late reply! I have actually never tried to export an IK rig using my exporter, i'd suggest you ask @Hayate, he has more experience in that than me. If it helps at all, i can make it so that the plugin exports "Parent To"-constraints. I am thinking of maybe adding an option to resample animations, based on sampling the bone transforms each frame, that would technically allow any animation to be exported... but it would require me to sort out the keyframe reducer and some other things first.

Hello! Thank you very much for the input. It turns out that the way of how i rig my bones with ik constraints is bad. It messes the bone structure when exporting. And also, sorry for the late reply :(

I will change it so that it doesnt need an indexera anymore. We'll see if I can get it done today.

EDIT: Fixed!

Thanks for the quick update!

I am not sure if i understand the question, what are you seeing exactly? I have never worked with SC2 models, so i'm not entirely sure. I think sc2mapster.com would be a good place to ask that question.

Lemme show you what I'm trying to do. Standby for a private message...

I'm always so late to continue, but do you think you could share that AT-TE model of yours? If it's animated within Blender, I could try exporting a SC2 version. Use the pastebin if you're cool with that. :)

It is neither animated nor textured at the moment!

I understand it may be hard to animate a six-legged mech. Just lemme know when you finish making it. I can also help you with the animation names for Starcraft 2.

Yep! Fingolfin#0882
