Need help Geoset Change and Animation Bug.

[Darkholme]

OK. I started working on this model, it was actually an option for download. There are a couple Issues I don't know how to solve, so here I am.

1. The "Hair", needs to switch Geosets, It has teamcolor instead of transparency. I have been looking for how to do this, and so far all of my attempts make my model lose all attached animations. The Same Goes for the Ears, and the Exact opposite goes for the upper torso.

2. In all of these animations :

Stand
Stand3
Stand4
StandReady
Walk
Attack
Attack2

The corpse (gutz00)
and Portrait backdrop appear between animation loops. I'm not sure how to fix this. Someone told me, but I can't figure it out.

And um just a question that isnt a necessary. How do I wrap the back of a plane. I want the ears visible from the back end. Is there a way to do that or do I need to make another plane on the back?

Since it was taking so long to fix I decided to pull the model until its done.

If someone can explain to me what I need ot do to fix these (I'm pretty sure I have to change the mdl in notepad for the second one but I dont know what specifically to change) it would be more helpful than just fixing it. or if you could post like the original mdl info in a code box and hte changed (for the notepad stuff) that would be even better.

Any Help will definitely merit some major appreciation.

Thanks for the attempt Radagast, but that doesn't fix it. You just gave the Geoset that had teamcolor transparency instead. Now everything has transparency, so the things that were supposed to have transparency are great, but hte top of the head an the shoulders both have transparent holes in them.

I appreciate the Effort though.

If someone knows how to actually fix one of these issues it'll be very helpful

*Bump*: Can someone give me a hand please? The model is almost done. And once I know how to fix these issues I can deal with them myself should they come up again.

Someone tried to explain both to me, but not with alot of detail and I couldn't figure it out exactly.

Maybe others have had this problem also? Maybe they will in the future? Can someone point me to a tutorial on ho to fix these if there is one?

 

[Radagast]

okey.. im not quite sure.. but your trying to make the same geoset have team colored at some places and trancparacy at others?

I need help moving the Ears/Hair to Geoset 2 (without losing all their animations) and moving the chest and shoulders to geoset 1 (again, without losing the animations.

I did the switch right a few times with geoset merges, and then the bits I needed e.g. torso, where where I needed them and had the right transparency, but they lost all their animations and just sat there. Even setting all the vertex groups back didn't seem to help.

As for the animation issues, I've looked at the forum for other peopleis issues that seemed similat on geoset animations and they are appearing during the animations that have their transparency listed as 0 as well as 1, and they just only stay for hte whole animation for the ones where its equal to 1. This didnt happen until I used Warshape to realign the bones with the models, and I can't find any other programs that will let me move the bones.

Here ya go. All checked up and ready to go. I done what you ordered. I also took the liberty to recalculate the extends of the model.

Thats amazing and phenomenally helpful of you Frank. Greatly appreciate it.

Any chance you can umm. tell me how you did it so that next time I get an issue like this I don't have to bug someone else and can do it myself?

oh, and +rep.
