character exporting problem

[t3K|Murmel2 0]

well, i tried to export some of my models following piggyson`s tutorial. firstly i merged mesh and bones, afterwards applied same texture to all objects. i`ve already attached the bones to the mesh but then i come into trouble. there is said that "delete after attaching" should become deformed- but nothing happens. actually, i don`t even found the so called Com skin modifier...

what made i wrong? the bones dont will attach to my mesh- it doesnt bcome animated.

thanks for all help

You have to animate it by using the buttons at the bottom of Max,they look like normal VCR buttons,once you start the play button,the mesh will animate.

And then you got all the vertice weighing to do........have fun!!

If you are using max4 or above the com skin is not needed.

You may have a sub object still selected when you change back to skin.

thanks

ok, tried this. but the skeleton still doesnt animate the mesh. i tested to deactivate the skin modifier and my model become horrible deformed. actually i followed piggysons tut step by step. even the "delete this after attaching" letters became deformed *hurrea*...

there might be a stupid tiny mistake somewhere; i`m feeling like an idiot

thanks for any further help!

no thats fien when you animate it's supposed to deform,that tells you the bones are attached,the deforming is the lost vertices!

Are you on MSN?
