Besides using the Clean Function in BB, how can I lower the file size of an Animation? I know there's deleting things from the Graph Editor in Maya, but are there any other methods of reducing the file size of an Animation? Simple question: Do we actually need Brawlbox v.68 and v.69, or will the latest version suffice for what is needed in this tutorial? You can use the recent version. |

I'm also curious about this. EY mentioned in his tut that there was a way to reduce filesize/something even with bones that had movement, but he didn't include it because it wasn't necessarily relevant. |

Is there any way to have multiple animations in one scene? I'm looking at animation layers, but I can't tell if that's what I need.
I'm looking for a set up similar to how the typical MotionEtc is set up, where you can select different animations for playback and editing in one scene? Is that possible, or am I asking for too much?

Yeah, I found something similar, the Trax editor, specifically. Though I haven't figured out yet if it exports just clips of the animation or the actual .anim, and how.

Does BB support importing multiple animations from a single .anim file? If not then, someone's gotta write one.

I do not think it does. It's 1 animation in there or errors IIRC. Gee, I wonder if we can use this for wings and tails....

I don't see why not. There's nothing special about the HumanIK that makes it work. As long as you don't change the base bones, I don't see why anykind of rig wouldn't work. In the end, the base bones need to be animated. How you do that doesn't matter (IK rigs, scripts, w/e).

Well I got this working with Charizard's tail, but sadly not the wings. When I try to do anything involving IK with the wings, they become..... dislocated and trying to go to the bind pose doesn't do any good when it comes to animating time.

okay, I finally got my time to get Maya. but I encounter some problems
I tried the human IK with jigglypuff, but I get sometimes "Yellow" colored bones and the "ready for IK" is yellow, saying the hip bone is not facing the right way. putting it on control rig on source will make it disappear!
also, when I get a common problem with a custom model. the model will be thrice as big as the skeleton! but it still rigged to it! when I move the arms, it will move the thrice big model there the skeleton is on! making it a bizarr model animations!

Both FBX Converter and Maya only like paths with simple ASCII letters, so if a folder has any "é" or any other "strange" letter, both programs will give you problems. You won't be able to import/export/load/etc anything in Maya and FBX won't convert any file.
While for FBX the solution is pretty simple (just move the file you wanted to convert to something like "C:\fileforfbx"), for Maya is a bit more complex.
Maya will create a "maya" folder in your Documents folder that will be used for the program to save config and more. If your user folder has one or more "strange" letters, like I previously said, you won't be able to import, export, etc anything. The thing is, you can't change the name of said folder. Even if you change your user account name, that folder will keep the same name.
In order to solve this you need to change the folder used by Maya:
- First create the folder that will be used by Maya. For example, "C:\maya", and copy the path (remember not to use "strange" letters).
- Right click on "My Computer" and click on properties. That would bring up the System Properties window.
- Then go to Advanced Config and click on Environment Variables.
- Create a new user variable and use as name "MAYA_APP_DIR" and paste the path of your folder in "value".
Now open Maya and try to import the file you were trying to import previously. Voilà!
Since this is a minor thing I don't think it deserves to get a thread, but it was big enough to drive me crazy for some hours, so I felt like sharing this. It could be added to the OP.

Hi. I'm having issues exporting the animation into to brawlbox, I've baked it and used graph editor and now when trying to export it as an .anim file Maya tells me it is unable to export it as an .anim file and saves it a blank file. Trying it again it tells me that there is nothing selected. Is there something that I am missing, looking through your tutorial it says nothing about selecting a part of the animation then exporting so is there a reason I am having this problem.

So, i tried using this method. Got through most of it and finished the animation, so, i decided to export it and...turns out animExport or anything like that is not an option. Doesn't matters if i try to save or export. It just doesn't appears. What the hell? Im using 2013 32-bit/86x version. I installed nothing else.

It says in the OP to use at least Maya 2014.

Well, then im screwed. Surprised that you can't export animations in program like this until 2014 though. |
