[MDL] Bones assignment

[Jacek]

Hi... I have question, help would be greatly appreciated. In which parts of the MDL is the geoset to bone assignment? I know it is related to VertexGroups, but nothing more

 

[Horn]

Matrix (Matrices)

 

[Jacek]

But how do they work? I suspected Matrices too

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Each VertexGroup has a line in the Matrices section. Each Matrix has an ObjectId. Simple as that. ObjectId must be a BONE, though, or else half your geometry will decide it wants to exist beyond the bounds of the universe.

 

[Jacek]

So that for example:

Matrices { 11, 12, 24, 25 },

means that vertices from groups 11,12,24,25 are used by one of the bones?

 

[Horn]

Those 4 numbers are object IDs for bones.

Ok i'll try that ^_^ Horny maybe you know how rotations work (intans, beziers...)?

A pity Samods decided to die a few months ago, otherwise I'd have a VERY nice picture illustration "What happans when bones go wrong"

To be exact, a High Elven model based off the Demonhunter, but looking more like an octopus stretched in every which direction

I just received a PM from Magos. He told me that InTan and OutTan are just as I suspected before 2 control points of curve. I'll try it out today after return from school.
