Robot Export
by Randy Hearn - Magnum · in Artist Corner · 07/29/2009 (2:58 pm) · 9 replies
Has anyone had any issues exporting a robot type character with animations through DTS. Specifically where there is no solid character mesh, so basically a character made up of individual non-connected objects?
Yes, I know.. I could do a simple test.. But would like some input if others have had issues, also any issues in XSI.

We did the same thing with Lore Aftermath as well for all the mechs.

All of the characters for Tribes 2 were done the same way. They were all pretty much segmented meshes that were made as the children of the biped bones and exported. We did the same thing with Lore Aftermath as well for all the mechs.
