feneur Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Great guide, pinned (Though perhaps it should go in the Game Modification subforum rather than this, not sure, anyone else has got any good arguments for either place?)

fcxSanya Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I think our trac wiki is best place for this document. Also there should be link from this section to this information.Thanks Pureon, good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Edit: Sounds good, but I can't edit the trac wiki can I? Edited December 15, 2010 by Pureon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkaallllee Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Great , dont just forget to write it on trac/wiki! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks feneur, I wasn’t expecting this to be made into a sticky Maybe we can create a topic on the forums for Blender users to ask general questions? Otherwise all the really useful Blender information gets spread around the forums making it difficult to locate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have a link to the appropriate place on the Trac wiki as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm happy to manage the forum topic if you're happy to have it. Where on the trac should this info go? I'll update it with more info when I'm bored at work again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkaallllee Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 It worked Thanks now I can do exactly what I wanted to! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Done, it's on the wiki. I had no idea general users could edit the Design Document. I'll let you guys decide if that's too much information to go on it.Edit: Glad it worked for you kkaallllee, would have been embarrassing for me had it not Edited December 15, 2010 by Pureon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juicyfruit Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Pureon. Have you got a sample for me where the export fails with regards to armatures/animations? I will see if I can make a patch to make Blender work for those cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'll get back to you in the next few days/hours - I'll look into animations a bit more and make sure the setup is correct before I send it to you. There's not much info regarding animation setup, one topic I found useful was this one: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.p...topic=12961&hl=While I'm doing that could one of the admins activate Juicyfruit's PM?

feneur Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 COLLADA: Ton had a concerned mail from COLLADA lead Remi Arnaud, he and Khronos offer their support, they also would love to see Blender to soon get the official Khronos Conformancy Badge! Nathan Letwory is in contact with Remi to check on what can be done together.Just saw the above here: http://www.blendernation.com/2011/01/17/de...tes-16-jan-2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTreePaladin Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, I saw that too. I wasn't sure what to make of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, I saw that too. I wasn't sure what to make of it.Me neither, just wanted to make sure Juicyfruit was aware of it so the effort wouldn't be spent by him as well as someone else resulting in less work done overall in the end.

Pureon Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Juicyfruit is listed as being on the official Blender 2.5 Collada exporter team, so he might know already. I'm currently working with EmjeR to supply Juicyfruit with a 0AD compatible Blender animation. The future looks good guys Edit: By the way, have either of you successfully exported an animation from Blender that worked in 0AD?

feneur Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I assumed things were like that, but wanted to be sure It can be dangerous to assume things only to later find out you were wrong Edit: By the way, have either of you successfully exported an animation from Blender that worked in 0AD?I haven't, but then again, the static model I tried to export from Blender didn't work either, so my experience shouldn't be very telling of the degree of difficulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I haven't, but then again, the static model I tried to export from Blender didn't work either, so my experience shouldn't be very telling of the degree of difficulty The exporter didn't work on the earlier 2.5 beta versions, but either the latest 2.5 beta or the stable 2.49 work perfectly well for static models. If you want to try it again, just let me know what error messages you get in Atlas and we'll work from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to try it again, just let me know what error messages you get in Atlas and we'll work from there Nah, don't worry about it. It was more like testing to import a plain cube (I might even have forgotten to convert the faces to triangles or something like that), so nothing of real importance. I might want to check it out some other time, but not in the close future. At that date there might even be a 0 A.D. preset to choose in the COLLADA export window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juicyfruit Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I did know. And yes there all kinds of plans to make things better. I am trying to focus my attention on the importer as far as refactoring goes. But due to exams i am time constrained and the Collada standard is huge and so are the implementation differences of everything out there that implements parts of it as far as I have seen. But till we nail the perfect implementation any concrete scenario that does not work will help us to make things better.So please do submit bugs and or contact me and I will try to help.

Shield Bearer Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Um, yes. I did try to export an animation once...but i don't know @#$% abt animating so i probably did something wrong. It wasn't my animation somebody made a lion animation and i was trying to export it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
