True Bones" and Torque

by Jay Barnson · in Torque Game Engine · 10/11/2005 (5:33 pm) · 2 replies

Okay, based on a thread, I saw the link to True Bones and thought, "BINGO! This could cut my animation woes in half. Maybe."

But the question I have would be how possible / easy it is to import the animations from Gamespace or one of the other supported formats into something used by Blender and Torque. Anyone have any experience with this and can shed some light on the subject?

Doh. Should have kept hunting around. Just found this page:

www.truebones.com/gamespace.htm

(Torque engine not supported yet,
sorry, we are working on a solution, keep checking back.)


Ah, well. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

There was someone, I think it was Joshua Dallman, who managed to import some TrueBones animations into Torque. Do a GG search for TrueBones and see what you can find.

Edit: I've also sent an email indicating that I would immediately purchase those bones if they were Torque compatible. A huge chunk of them would be great in my game.
