WarShape?

[Cavman]

Hiya, Some of you know me, some have never heard of me, but thats off subject. I was posting cause I was wondering if any of you could help me with The program in the title of this thread. I heard(read) about it awhile ago, and went out and downloaded it. I was looking at it and have mostly figured out thats its for animating, I think, And it looks to be better that note track, which is what I normaly use. I was hoping that maybe some onecould help me out by pointing me to a tutorial on it, or maybe explaining how to usethe basics of it a little.I would bemuch obliged(sp)

EDIT: I think I put this in the wrong section. oops.

Oinker's Tutorial and Index of Warshape are both very helpful.

Thanks. Maybe I'll figure out somthin now.

That version doesn't work well. Look in this thread: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=87769

Freaking Awsome!

Hmmmm, you say it works with 3ds Files. Dose it work With Gmax files?

 

[HappyTauren]

it does, it even works with all blizzards but anims are bul!@#$ when taken yjrough warshaped! that prog is animation killer!

It can't recognise sequences numbers must be multiples of 100 (that's because of the fps convert ratio). For example, this one won't work:

Anim "Stand" {
Interval { 0, 3472 },
}

It should be:

Anim "Stand" {
Interval { 0, 3400 },
}

or:

Anim "Stand" {
Interval { 0, 3500 },
}

Hmmmm, you say it works with 3ds Files. Dose it work With Gmax files?

I've no idea. I don't have 3ds and milkshape either, I just tried Warshape with some custom models that I know were made with 3ds or ms, and it worked.
I *think* there are some problems handling helpers (a lot of blizzard models have them). At least, that's the only difference I could spot between working and bugged models; it's possible that the helpers get randomly cloned, or worse.

What I did was finding a model without all those issues, and use it as a base each time. I can delete and create bones in mdl, so now I don't have problems anymore.

Ah, I see what you are saying. I was hoping that I could use this to make some vehicles. Maybe I can still yet.

As long as you add the bones you need, there's no problem with that.
