Exporting animation sequence from 3DSMAX
by Navin Kumar · in Artist Corner · 02/01/2005 (11:50 pm) · 16 replies
Hi,
We have problem exporting character animation sequence from 3DSMAX 6. the animation is based on CS biped. when we export .dsq, the exporter says, exported successfully, but the exported file is empty.
Even we tried exporting the animation from Maya 6, but we were not successful.
Do we need a .cs or .cfg file associated to it, while exporting?
If yes, what kind of script needs to be written into these files?
What is the actual procedure to be followed to export the animation?
Please help us in this process.
Thank you

Hmm... Do you have a sequence node that has keyframes set for the range you want to export? That got me the first time I exported a DSQ.

in the opening part of your dump file.
that's for my land sequence, but you get the idea.

Yes if you had a sequence node set up you'd see something likeQuote:

Sequence land found.

that's for my land sequence, but you get the idea.

yes, I missed to create the sequence node.
After creating the sequence node I could export the animation successfully but no animation found when checked with "Torque Show tool".
I'm providing all the files at the following link. Can someone Please check the files and let me know what was wrong?

Can't tell much from the files. The DTS loads, the DSQ is empty and the dump file seems truncated. I would need to see the Max file to see if it is set up properly. If you can (NDA's and all that) you could email me the max file and I can take a look.

i have successfully export my model with .dts and .dsq. after that, i put in inside the Torque show tool to test the animation.
After that, there have show out the animation.
But when i put the .dts n .dsq inside the game, it no show me any animation. Is it when i export i had skip one step already???please help me solve this problem...thanks.

I'm having the same problem too. The DSQ animations play fine in the ShowTool but they won't play in the game when I try to play the threads in my .cs file. Any help with this? Thanks

We are having an exporting problem (not with V12 engine) and the problem seems to be with the "Particle View 01" object which isn't actually in the scene. I'm not sure what this object is but it shouldn't be in the max scene and only appears in the exported file. I searched google for it and found a few related problems all containing this unknown particle view 01 object.
This was in Kevin's post
Processing Node Particle View 01 with parent Scene Root
Found subtree starting at Node "Particle View 01"
I'm thinking its a wierd max bug. If anyone knows what this object is and why max includes it in scenes, I would love to know.
Thanks

To get rid of the object just open the maxscript listener and type delete $'Particle View 01'

It's no bug. The object is automatically created when you open the particle view window. The easy solution is to simply never open it. =)To get rid of the object just open the maxscript listener and type delete $'Particle View 01'

you don't have to have a .cs or a .cfg in order to get a dsq to export. you have to have your hierarchy set up correctly, you have to have an dts sequence helper in there, you have to have the begin and end keyframes set for that sequence helper and...I'm sure there's other stuff too I'm not thinking of right now... the dmp file should tell you what went wrong.
