Bipeds?

[Varine]

Will I be able to use Bipeds to animate for the human characters in Warcraft or do I need to make an IK Chain?

im not exactly sure ik is supported either but the way you animate wc3 chars is by using bones. attaching meshes to a specific bone and rotating each part.

this explains it better.

you CAN use biped for warcraft 3 character animation you just need this script
you can also combine biped and IK

TDR gave me tips that you can export a biped into a bone rig that you can then import back, animation included. So I'm not sure if that script is really needed.

So do I have to divide it into the seperate pieces to animate it?

I don't suggest you to use the filmbox exporter for it. It sucks badly Wc3 wise, is better to use the script.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to use the script so I don't need to divide the mesh.

Sorry to be kind of ignorant in this, but can someone guide me through how to connect the meshes? I know the tutorial explains it but I'm not sure what to do still.

This is the question that was haunting me for a couple of months ^^ but what exporter to use with 3ds max 7? And do i assign it to the mesh with the physique modifier?
