Getting Mounts to work.

by Instinctz · in Artist Corner · 08/09/2009 (12:06 am) · 3 replies

I have tried about all I can think of, for getting the mount points to work correctly for vehicles.

I've mocked them up best I can to compare with the TDN and any other resource I have looked at, how ever my cam, mount0, eye, none are working once in torque.

Once in showtool I can see two "orange crosses" that I am guessing are supposed to be the mount points, how ever they still do not work as such.

The way that I am adding mount points is by adding a armature and naming it (eye,mount0,cam).

Any idea's on what im doing wrong?

I'll supply the test blend file and .cs if it'll help.

Thanks

Use empties instead of armatures. Makes it so much easier.

Unfortunately that is not working. Neither armatures or empties are being exported.

Is there not a way to setup the conig. file for exporting? The Python script's documentation doesn't mention anything about it. And the TDN only describes 3dMax exportation.

But in the Python script I can clearly see it looks for a configuration file.

This is crazy, cant wait till people start documenting their creations well. As I truthfully dislike being required to sit and wait and -hope- someone will actually respond to get the required information, and I hate having to use your others time.

Ok stupid me, I was renaming the armatures and not the bones, simply a lack of understanding blender.
