Hi, i've just been working exporting animations for multiple objects and i'm trying 2 use the grouping options for the animation so that i can export animations for different objects from the same point in the timeline.
So i have 2 objects in my scene box1, box2 and sphere2, 1 animated from 0-100 the other from 50-100.
So i have 2 objects in my scene box1, box2 and sphere2, 1 animated from 0-100 the other from 50-100.
- box1 and box2 i give the name "boxes" in the 'objectanim name'
sphere2 i give the name "sphere" in the 'objectanim name'[/list:u]
Then in the export setup i make 2animations:
translation, 0-100, then selected a group (changed name) 'boxes'.
rotation, 50-100, then selected a group (changed name) 'sphere'.[/list:u]
Now what i was hoping would happen when i exported this was that the boxes would each have 1 animation under them (ie boxes translation) and the sphere would have 1 animation under it (ie sphere rotation) but instead i get 2 animations under each object:
boxes animations - "boxes translation" and "boxes rotation"
sphere animations - "sphere translation" and "sphere rotation"[/list:u]
is this supposed 2 happen? i was hoping i cud specify which animation went with which group otherwise i'll end up giving the programmer an OSM with 20 animations under each entity with only 1 of the animations being relevant?
Am i setting the animations up wrong? is there a better way of achieving this result?
If any 1 can shed some light i'd be very grateful.
