How do I view animations and bones in 3ds Max?

[loopy1782]

Hi, I have manged to open a Sonic model in 3ds max, I exported the model as a .obj (with some animations and the bones from fragmotion). So, how do I view the animations and bones in 3ds Max?
And also, in 3ds max, why is sonic's shoes shiny.

Thanks.

Don't know for the shoes, but the exportation may have deleted bone ?

OBJ FORMAT DOES NOT SUPPORT BONE DATA OR WEIGHT DATA SO IT WONT WORK IF YOU EXPORT IT TO MAX. Caps lock so you can pay attention.

So, what do I have to do in order for the bones to be visible in 3ds Max?

...export as FBX?

OK, on the left is 3ds Max IMPORT, and on the right is Fragmotion EXPORT. So what do I export it as from fragmotion, then import it into 3ds max to see the bones and the animations I am working on?

Unless I can do it in blender, like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDLorofCGT8&feature=channel_video_title

Go find "SMDImport" for 3DS Max. It's one of the most reliable ones out there. Plus FragMotion also supports SMD formats. It's what I use for those TF2 Models.

But looking at yours, it seems like you don't have it... odd.

I do, I cropped it out by mistake while editing the photo.

And can you give me a link to the SMD importer, I don't want to get the wrong one.

Edit: When I export .SMD from FragMotion, what do I select, Mesh or Animation? s1182.photobucket.com/albums/x458/loopy1782/?action=view¤t=SMD.jpg

Mesh.

it gets screwed up in 3ds max 2012. the bones are much much larger than the mesh

[zankuujinmujinsho]

Which is why I use 2011. I find it the most stable.

Umm.........I imported into 3ds Max and this happened. Please help.

Read above 2 posts.

This is why "latest" doesn't always mean "best".




2011, used the exact same importer.

OK, can I export it as .whatever from fragmotion, and import it as .whatever in blender, to do something similar to this. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDLorofCGT8&feature=channel_video_title)

I'm not familiar with Blender, so I couldn't tell you.
