Assertion Failed when stripping(5)

#1 Hey

I'm also trying to get characters into Torque, my dts shape exports fine - I've not tried exporting a dsq yet as I want to make sure all my mount points are correct but what I have found is my Mount, cam and eye nodes arn't being exported.

I posted a thread here but no-one has replied yet - maybe we can help each other out?

Here is my thread anyway maybe you can spot a few mistakes I've made.

I am using IK handles but I have removed them from the skeleton in that thread.

#2 If I had more of an idea of what I was doing I might be able to help you! HaHa!!!

So far I have had no trouble with DSQ exports. It seems if I can get the DST right the DSQ works as well.

#3 It is frustrating that this model and rig worked fine until I changed the vert assignments.

#4 What program are you using to model? I had a similair issue when trying to export using Milkshape's exporter. I simply had to "clean" (under tools) the model and the export would work. I dont know the tech behind it, but im assuming there are some loose tri's running around. Or at least the error seems to point to that.

#5 It is frustrating that this model and rig worked fine until I changed the vert assignments.

#6 I am working in Maya. I guess I will try to clean up the mesh and maybe re-attach the skin. Thanks for the tip.

#7 I am working in Maya. I guess I will try to clean up the mesh and maybe re-attach the skin. Thanks for the tip.

#8 OK. I cleaned up my mesh, deleted the history and froze the transforms. I got the DTS to export and show up in Show Tool. So I went ahead and bound the skin and made sure everything was set up right in the hyperview. I exported again. The DTS worked fine. I created an animation node and exported my DSQ. Worked perfectly.

Now I am going to back in and re-assign the verts. Lets see if it breaks. Wish me luck.

#9 Hey Mike.

Can I ask you a question? Have you had any problems with the exporter not exporting the cam, eye and mount nodes?

I loaded in a stock character into TST and found if I looked at the model's properties these nodes are present.

Could you do me a favour and post your dtsscene.cfg file?

What you can try to do in the fute is just copy skin wieghts from your modified model to a new clean model.

Cheers mate.

#10 I have not gotten to the eye,cam node's yet. that is my next adventure. Also havn't really messed with .cfg files yet. I'll post results as I go along.

Mike

#11 Cheers Mike.

I'm interested in seing how that goes.

#12 My coder says he doesn't think the eye node showed up. Looking into why.
