Hey guys,

I need some help with Director 8.5. I'm trying to export a character animation I've done in Plasma. The character uses mesh deformation provided by the bones and the skin modifier. Is there any way to export from Plasma (or 3DS MAX...it's just the same) to Director 8.5, retaining information about mesh deforming, bones, animation, etc.?? I just can export basic animations (traslation, rotation, scaling)...

any help please??

tnx

This is based on my knowledge of 3dsmax, not plasma.

The most important thing to do (and this was not mentioned clearly, even though it is a vital point) is to group the bones and the model together. If you don't group the mesh and the bones, the deformation animation will not export.

Have fun!:D
