Limiter Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Great. Finally I can create custom animations for Niko. Have always wanted to try to make Niko be able to sleep properly on beds that are larger than the standard provided at safehouses. Good job.

Frank.s Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Great work Andræs. How do you make a SA anim work on an IV skeleton? Edited June 19, 2013 by Frank.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMulti Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Great work Andræs. How do you make a SA anim work on an IV skeleton? 1) Use BIPPY script for conversion skeleton with its animation to biped (click here) 2) Save animation of biped in bip-file 3) Open biped_gta4.max 4) Load bip-animation 5) Export all to fbx-file 6) Open skel_gta4.max 7) Load fbx with option File content - 'Update animation' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank.s Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Awesome thank you, will try that very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesser Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 You may also use GTA Animation XML IO MaxScript plugin in order to convert biped animations to bone skeleton or viceversa. 012 345 678 9A BCD EFG HIJK LMN OPQR STUV WX YZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank.s Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks Wesser. Andrew, im having problems with bippy, got any info on how to use it? Question to anyone: How can i combine multiple meshes into one model with the skinning intact? I want one actor model in 3dsmax to make animations but i don't know how to combine the multiple GTAIV player meshes or multiple GTAIV ped meshes into one model with rigging.

D T Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I can't seem to get bippy working on 3ds Max 2014, everything else works great on it though. What version of Max do you all have running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have one, but I'm curious as to whether it would work for IV animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank.s Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 How many kinect cameras are required to get good mocap? Once kinect mocap is captured to a file, how good is the quality of it after conversion to IV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once kinect mocap is captured to a file, how good is the quality of it after conversion to IV? You can use one kinect for qualitative mocap.

D T Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks Wesser. Andrew, im having problems with bippy, got any info on how to use it? I finally got bippy working, but I'm also not sure how to use it. I have my SA animation playing in 3ds Max and don't know where to go from here.

Frank.s Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) How can i combine multiple meshes into one model with the skinning intact? I want one actor model in 3dsmax to make animations but i don't know how to combine the multiple GTAIV player meshes or multiple GTAIV ped meshes into one model with the original rigging and without having to re-rig it manually. I couldn't get bippy working so i used Wessers script. Here's a quick vid of a rough conversion of a crackhead anim with no tweaking/fixing and possibly bad bone selection: Link (right click > save as or just click it and hope your browser will load the mp4 ) Edited June 25, 2013 by Frank.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D T Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That looks great! I'll try to figure out how to use Wesser's script for now then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
