FE EXPORT ANIMATIONS THREAD! [message #57608]

Hi there,

sorry to be a newb but I have searched for threads dealing with exporting animations for a while and there is no good info.
You are supposed to be able to do it: "To export the animation you are currently viewing just export the model and the current animation will be embedded with the model in the x-file" /From the FE 4.1 beta thread.
Another guy in a modeling tutorial also states that it can be done.

But I can't get it to work.
I get the rigged skeletton and all but no animations.

Are there special settings I need to change to be able to import them in my 3ds or blender program?
Are there special issues because I am using Vista?

Does it really work for someone else in here?
If so please tell me what I should try out to make it work.
:*
Thank you.

Animation export isn't exactly what you might be expecting. You can drag and drop an animation entry over a mesh entry and the mesh will loop that animation in the preview window, from there you can export the mesh doing that animation. And sadly, the only way you'd be able to do anything with that exported animated mesh is if someone were to code better plugins for 3DS. As it is, the plugins for 3DS do not support animated import.

Animation import isn't supported. The best you'll be able to do is export the raw data of the animation, edit it with a hex editor (format specs are undocumented), import it back in. But you have to be really, really good to do this kind of thing and even then, it's very limited.
