Attack Animation of Human Archmage

You mean the attack animation of Jaina?

 

[-Spirit Hunter-]

Yeah, I just need him to swing like that when I attach staff to him...

 

[.KC]

Okay. I wont do this for you because its so easy, and I think its a good idea you learn how to do it yourself.

1. Go to www.oinkerwinkle.com and download Animation Transfer
2. Then read the tutorial about the tool on that site.
3. Now you can add new animation to your units

NOTE: With some units you can't add animations from other units because they dont have the same bone skeleton, or the same bone names.
Example: You cant add animations from Arthas to a footman

Alright, Ill' try to follow your advice, and Ill do my best to do it.

Thanks.

95% of single animation transfers fail, It's not going to be possible with just oinkerwinkle's.

 

[.KC]

No thats not true. I added all these animation to a villager(see model) without it failed.

Hmm somehow I cant upload .mdx format

 

[Lord_T]

.KC, what did you use besides Oinker's...
It's impossible with just oinkerwinkle's tools.

 

[.KC]

I only used Oinkerwinkels Animation Transfer.

Everytime I transfered a single animation I saved my base unit with a new name.(heroA, HeroB, HeroC etc etc), and then closed the tool.

Then I opened the tool again, transfered a new single animation, saved my base unit with a new name, closed the tool. And Repeated this alot of time.

It's impossible with just oinkerwinkle's tools.

transfer them via oinkers and use the mdl/x converter

or...

there is a sort of complicated way, lets take the footman as an mdl for example it has a header of this values for animations

}
Sequences 13 {
Anim "Stand - 1" {
Interval { 167, 1667 },
MinimumExtent { -19.5992, -33.1796, -0.28233 },
MaximumExtent { 52.4008, 36.7176, 99.0722 },
BoundsRadius 62.4483,
}
Anim "Stand - 2" {
Interval { 1833, 4333 },
Rarity 4,
MinimumExtent { -27.0629, -46.5617, -0.690621 },
MaximumExtent { 59.4818, 42.1317, 99.4823 },
BoundsRadius 63.9095,
}
Anim "Stand Victory" {
Interval { 4500, 6833 },
MinimumExtent { -25.6095, -52.7413, -0.528684 },
MaximumExtent { 54.3427, 48.3475, 142.281 },
BoundsRadius 82.3794,
}
Anim "Stand - 4" {
Interval { 7000, 12267 },
Rarity 5,
MinimumExtent { -60.4893, -55.4363, -0.26258 },
MaximumExtent { 53.407, 54.8092, 107.634 },
BoundsRadius 77.4681,
}
Anim "Attack - 1" {
Interval { 12500, 13500 },
NonLooping,
MinimumExtent { -46.2839, -55.8125, -0.90315 },
MaximumExtent { 110.267, 49.3873, 141.544 },
BoundsRadius 90.3454,
}
Anim "Attack - 2" {
Interval { 13667, 14667 },
NonLooping,
MinimumExtent { -59.3253, -64.972, -1.44231 },
MaximumExtent { 119.945, 64.6484, 115.557 },
BoundsRadius 100.836,
}

now lets take the interval of attack 1 (12500, 13500)

go to the bone_arm1_r, go to the rotations, you'll see the frames there as they are in InTan/OutTan find a value that starts with 12500

12500: { 0, -0.366502, 0, 0.930417 },
InTan { 0, -0.366502, 0, 0.930417 },
OutTan { 0, -0.366502, 0, 0.930417 },

basically you can add it manually to the bone just make sure that if you add something you should also add them in the rotations current number which is..

Rotation 76 {

and for example you added 2 rotation frames for it so it must be Rotation 78

also there is a fun part if you know how to do this, you could for example get the Blademaster's frames on his attack 2 animations(stabbing animations) and "redistribute them" on the footmans attack animations..

hope this helps you guys, and I'm sorry for thread hi-jacking

.KC thanks for the model, it realy helped me, the animation transfer program didn't worked for me anyway...

I only used Oinkerwinkels Animation Transfer.

Everytime I transfered a single animation I saved my base unit with a new name.(heroA, HeroB, HeroC etc etc), and then closed the tool.

Then I opened the tool again, transfered a new single animation, saved my base unit with a new name, closed the tool. And Repeated this alot of time.

But you had to use a converter to convert it. I win. ^_^
In most cases, If you don't use a converter, it won't be openable in viewers ( and can't be used in game as a .mdl )

 

[.KC]

Hehe Yes ofcause I used a converter (War3FileConverter).

I have updated the model with new animations, So now it have the Jaina's attack and the footman's defend animations.

The model can be found here good luck:
