I am trying to convert a model from milkshape to GStudio format, by exporting as an MDL7. However my skin comes out as a funny colour, and the bone animation does not seem to import.
Could somebody please tell me if I have to do something else.
I am really keen to upgrade to A7 Commercial, but the Trial version seems to have a few bugs still.

Have you tried importing it as a Milkshape model. I think A7 MED imports that format now.

Nidhogg, I exported to milkshape ascii from milkshape.
Then I imported from Milkshape ascii, but the frames still came out wrong. however the skin is good.
Are there any other ideas?

Use fbx for exchanging data between them, thats how i do it

Shadow969, how do I export from Milkshape to fbx ? I cannot find any such option.

Hi!

look in the export list under "Alias FBX.."

Hi Salva, thank you.

However when I Import FBX(11.2006) and set up the animations with names, Load the model into MED the animations are fine, In WED the animations do not play.


action HellPig()
{

while(1)
{
my.skill1 += 3*time_step;
if (my.skill1 > 100)
{
my.skill1 = 0;
}
ent_animate(me,"RUN",my.skill1,ANM_CYCLE);
wait(1);
}

}


This is the action that I use. It works if I export as Milkshape ascii, import as Milkshape ascii, The animations are fine in MED, but they go out of wack in WED.

Any other Ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your help fellas, but I finally got ascii to work.

Just for your info, I was saving the model in another directory than the level.
WED saved a copy in the level area. As I tried different things, WED kept using the original model. ( My fault, because I didn't check the directory that I was loading it from).

I finally realised, and loaded the correct model. Bingo it worked.

Thanks again for your help, This community rocks. Gamestudio for me forever.
