Here is a set of animations for use with our futuristic soldier character. The following sequences are included:

They're in FBX format and need to be converted to GMF. Enjoy!

Here is a set of animations for use with our futuristic soldier character.

can we use these motions not only with futuristic soldier character?

[Josh]

You can use them with any character, as long as it is used exclusively in our engine.

is this just an animation file or the model animated ?

[Josh]

The mesh is attached to the skeleton, but even if it wasn't, you can load a skeleton animation into a rigged animated mesh.

Anyone got this to work yet? I tried, but

#include "engine.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   // Setup
   Initialize();
   Graphics(1024,768);
   CreateWorld();
   TEntity buffer = CreateBuffer(GraphicsWidth(),GraphicsHeight(),BUFFER_COLOR0|BUFFER_DEPTH|BUFFER_NORMAL);
   TFilter(); AFilter();
   TLight l = CreateDirectionalLight(); RotateEntity(l, Vec3(45,45,45));
   TEntity camera = CreateCamera();
   MoveEntity   (camera, Vec3(0,1,-3) );

   // Load
   TMesh mesh = LoadMesh("abstract::soldier.gmf");
   RotateEntity(mesh, Vec3(0,45,0));

   int sequenceId = LoadAnimation(mesh, "abstract::anim_soldier_run.gmf");
   int animCount = CountAnimations(mesh);
   int length = AnimationLength(mesh, sequenceId);

   while(!KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) && !AppTerminate())
   {
       // Animate
       Animate(mesh, fmodf(AppTime()/20.f, (float)length), 1.f, sequenceId);

       // Upadte and render
       UpdateAppTime();
       UpdateWorld();
       SetBuffer(buffer);
       RenderWorld();
       SetBuffer(BackBuffer());
       RenderLights(buffer);

       Flip(1);
   }

   return Terminate();
}

didn't work.

It looks like there's a bug with LoadAnimation because it always returns 0 no matter what (non existing) file you make it load.

Has anyone ever successfully used LoadAnimation?

 

I guess I could hack around by loading the animation as a second mesh and parenting the original bones to the animated ones.

What was the problem?

[Masterxilo]

There was actually a bug in the model itself.

There's a bone in the animations ("Bip01") which was also in the original skeleton, but was not added to the skin modifier.

So the skeleton of the exported mesh (which only contains bones added to the skin modifier) didn't match the animated skeleton, so it couldn't work.
