[General] [Model] Add Orc birth animation to model

[Ziadoma]

I am trying to add the Orc Tower Birth animation to my custom model. How can I do that? I know RMS can import animation, but I cant seem to figure it out. I can import it, but then there is still a lot of unused nodes and geosets and that seems to be very unrefined way to do it. Is there a model for only the building animation?

Any help or tips are appreciated.
Thank you

Maybe try asking on a different area of the forums. I don’t think a lot of modelers look here.

I would suggest looking in the models section for buildings and messaging any of the authors to see if they would be willing to share their process. There are quite a few amazing building uploads on the past few years so I'm sure they've got a well-ironed out process

Just pinging a few in case they'd be willing to share their wisdom! @bakr @Bleeq @komarovba @Ilya Alaric

I don't use the import animation option very much, but my understanding is if you label the bones the same names, it should transfer the keyframes across.
So you could either copy-paste the bones, or rename your own nodes to the ones in orc tower.
Or even rename the bones in orc tower to the same as your ones?

When you say there are unused bits, are you just copy-pasting into your model or using the import animation process from the drop-down menu?


I really should look at the forums more often
