I need more information about Leadwerks

[cassius]

Your main program can be written in c++ while lua can be used on a per object basis. You can use lua to alter a lights intensity and color and range etc. You can reference objects placed in the editor in your c++ program and make them perform in any way you like. Its great. You do not need ultimate unwrap but its nice to have.

Ok, thanks!

Now just waiting for a clear answer for what concerns me most:

 

1. I have had some problems with animations on other engines. Specially with "DarkBasic Professional", the animasion show very good in Blender, but when I export the 3d model, on DarkBasic Pro, the animation is deformed. Has anyone tried to export animations from Blender to Leadwerks? How to works with this?

That is very important to me.

How I can prove my animation on the Leadwerks demo with Lua? any help or command reference?

Export your animated mesh from Blender to collada or fbx.

Then use dae2gmf.exe or fbx2gmf.exe from the tools directory.

I have not yet tried animation in LE, but i know DarkBasic...believe me, this engine is MUCH better

So you have a very good chance that it will work

Can anyone give me a sample code to animating my character (in Lua)? I don't know how to begin. Any help, please?

How did you convert your model to GMF?

 

require("scripts/class")
local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)
object.framebegin = 70 --first frame of animation--
object.frameend = 130 --last frame of animation--

function object:Draw()
	self.frame = AppTime()/100
	self.frame=math.fmod(self.frame,self.frameend-self.framebegin)+self.framebegin
	Animate(self.model,self.frame,1.0,0,true)

end
end

I can not prove the script, the evaluation kit has finish. Can anyone try my character and tell me if the animation works well? the only animation is from the frame 1 through 21. In the file I include the .fbx, .blend (of Blender) and texture.

Can anyone try my animation and tell me if works well?

 

Thank you very much for all!

it works after converting the model to gmf, converting the texture to dds, creating a mat file for the texture, and giving it an object script.

Ok, great! I think that I will buy Leadwerks engine soon.

Thank you very much and sorry for all the inconvenience!
