Magos? Rotation? Scaling?

[NhazUl]

I tried to make an animation in Magos so a unit can do an assassin type kick. So I made the Bone_Root to rotate with linear interpolation as follows:

140000: { 0, 0, 0, 0 }
143000: { 0, 0, 3.14, 1 }

It DOES rotate, but the model scales automatically with linear interpolation and stretches 20 times on x and y.

In order to prevent that, I made a scaling with linear interpolation:

140000: { 1, 1, 1 }
143000: { 0.05, 0.05, 1 }

However, even when I have scripted the rotation, the model rotates and DOES stretch 20 times, and THEN scales down to normal.

Any ideas how to beat this?

Don't use rotations with Magos, since he made a bug there when saving quaternions.

 

[NhazUl]

He fixed it in 1.07. So now it's X, Y, Z, W instead of X, Y, W, W as in 1.05.

I will REALLY need to bump this...

Quaternions are very confusing math rotational things which are very likely to never be understood by the average modeler
In short, get an animation program for all your rotational needs.
And as Mechy said, Magos doesn't do well with Quaternions, it, for some reason, shifts each number to the left one slot, thus fucking everything over.

shifts each number to the left one slot, thus fucking everything over.

This was the major bug fix in 1.07.

Animation program? Come on. Mdlvis? WarForger? WarShape? I cannot figure out even a single piece of those. Nor can I find any guides. Milkshape? 3DS? I think not.

Anyway, thank you.

 

[donut3.5]

Oh, they fixed that?
Well, in any case, my point still stands.
If you want to make a pass at figuring out these Quaternions, go ahead.

Damn! Mdlvis does this as well! Yes, I found some Russian tutorial for this. So... I am like delving deep into quaternions.

Nhazul, use notetrack for simple animations.
it's full off bugs but in time, you'll learn how to work without causing them.
