My first attempt at any sort of character modeling

wow, I'd forgotten all the shortcuts that xen-quality graphics offer--no need to mess around getting a beautiful character, 'cause nobody's going to look to closely.
Looks good!

I haven't added a face or hands yet
Just finished the rigging, and it's looking pretty awesome.
I gotta go to work now and I won't be back til like 1AM, but then I'll try and whip up a quick walking animation to test it out and I'll post it.

whatever format you want it in
I'm not sure if I'll get that video done tonight, I'm pretty tired and I gotta go back in at 11 in the morning, so I might just go to bed.

arg having some troubles animating (not actually getting the bones to conform to the mesh and move it accordingly, but actually getting the keyframes to work

Thad--as long as you can export a boned .X model, I can write a quick utility to put it into certain poses. If you write the animations and export them I cant use the results anyway.
Hey--there are no vertices with more than 1 bone influence right?

well it's hard not to cross over because I'm using weight painting to weight the mesh, so probably
is that gonna be a problem?
Do i need to name the bones something useful for you?

Yes, please name the bones. Vertex influences will be a problem, but I might be able to write a script to sort them out a bit. Be careful not to have more than two, or the script will become exponentially more difficult to write.

i'm pretty sure theres not more than 2 per vertex
having a little trouble with the export script, it keeps giving me an error

Ugh. Well it doesn't really need to be .X, can you export to another animated format?

See, I knew .X was a SOB of a format. Someday I'll care enough to write my own file type exporter for max.

you should export in 3ds i find that one pretty good

That last post was so sad I started laughing.

Hey Thad--
Could you post the model without bones or animation? I'm going to try whipping up a model rigger/animator sometime (a while from now...), and I'd like to have a source model.

yeah sure lemme whip it up real quick

ugh still having problems with it
apparently deleting the bones leaves some root_bon global variable that I dunno how to delete

looks like he's been tortured with a giant panini-maker.
I'm sure he'll look fine when put in-game, though.

Yeah, he will be fine next to all the other poorly animated charactars lol.
But honestly, it's pretty good xen-quality!
