Model Animation Transfer Problem

[Dr. Brewery Ale]

I followed the whole tutorial of Xarwin.
I have a problem. Why the animation won't work? The Model was animationless so I used the Sorceress model for the animations.

Is the scaling of the model must be the same with the Sorceress Model?
Does it need textures for this to work?
Help.

I can't see your image - maybe my browser s*cks again.

But just to give some thoughts i recently ran into when using AnimTransfer:

- Scaling of the models is irrelevant when transferring animation
- I don't know if animations can CHANGE textures, but in some animations, special effects are USED (like fire for a flamethrower), which need their own textures. So the target model should reference these textures, too
- Both models need the same set of bones that are required for the animation. So, if the animation uses to animate the "Left_Super_Demonic_Wing"-bone of the first model, the model that should get the animation needs this bone, too

Hope that helps.

Do you think Geomerging is the solution? If I do that The mesh would be messy. Please help. I need alternatives.

Sorry, i'm no modeler - dont know what geomerging means. Is it to merge two models into one and then deleting the bones or vertices you dont need?

BTW: I tried to load your picture in another browser, but i still see nothing... could you reattach it?

If you do animation transfer, name all bones exactly the same with the bones of the model you are going to get the animation with. This is a great tutorial and I learned a lot from it. Read it thoroughly.
BTW, geomerging is merging geosets from one model to another.

Thank you
