    Adding a custom animation?

    OK, so say I want to make a custom riding position for a vehicle that MC is going to sit on. How would I go about making that, like how many keyframes would it be, and how many animations do I need to make? I'm trying to make MC sit on his Mongoose and grab the handlebars correctly. Also, how would I go about exporting a biped animation? Blitzkrieg doesn't work for those, since they don't have a frame, and linking them to Bip01 doesn't work.

Look around in TheGhost's tutorial resource, I know I found something there. Also, how would I go about exporting a biped animation? Blitzkrieg doesn't work for those, since they don't have a frame, and linking them to Bip01 doesn't work. Blitzkrieg can export .jma .jmo .jmm .jmt .jmr. *those are animation files*

    Blitzkrieg can export biped systems (both model and animation).

    Re: Adding a custom animation?

    Funny thing is, when I try to export, I get the "There is no geometry to export" error I normally get when I try to export something without a frame. If I get rid of everything except the bone structure and try to export the animation, I get a "There are no actors to export" error. I don't know why it does that.
    I looked at TheGhost's tutorial resource, and I don't think I saw anything, but I'll look again.

    if you used theghosts gbxmodel importer to import the bones you'll need to change all the names of the bones from bip01 to frame, like instead of "bip01 pelvis", it would be "frame pelvis". Be sure to link your model geometry to the pelvis bone too, though that shouldn't matter for animations iirc.

    Ah, thanks. That worked.
    What animations do I need to do for something such as MC in a vehicle? Right now I just have him sitting in it.

    * enter.JMM
    * exit.JMM
    * unarmed idle.JMA

    * represents your seat label name.

    Okay, Jay has agreed for me to do those three animations for the mongoose.... Welll........... I have done the enter animation using a rigged mc. There is no #right hand or #left hand or #left foot etc on the biped. Do I have to add those in? Also, do I have to have the Bip01/Frame01 in the animation? Or not?

    1. Markers aren't even recorded in animation data.
    2. Yes.
