Me sword be crooked

#1 Isn't this the orientation of your Pivot Point in your modeling application?

I'm pretty sure that is what the doc's say.
right?

#2 I didn't create it. I bought it.
Why would they put the pivot point going that way?

and this one works fine (from same pack)


odd.

#3 I would just say that you should open it in a 3d package of some kind and check the rotation. It could have been simply a miscalculation on their part, or maybe they wanted the sword positioned like that on purpose. whatever the reason, it is a quick fix to open it up in any 3d program and roatate it until you are satisfied.

#4 Ok fixed it with the help of Shaper.


now i have another question.

do you see where his hand is on the sword?

Is there a way to move it up next to the pommel?

Is that the mount point on the Player, or is it a point on the sword?

Thanks again.

#5 It's the mount point on the sword. Make it higher on the hilt.

#6 And thats adjustable in the modeling program? (Shaper for me)

#7 Just change the mount point to one that fits your needs.

#8 Where is the mount point, I opened it up, (in shaper) but don't see anything that says mount point.

Or is it in a .cs file somewhere?

#9 Are you using TGE 1.4? That by default comes with Torque ShowTool Pro which will let you view mount points under a tab called "Mount" I believe

#10 There's no mount points in the medival weapons pack if I remember correctly, but if there's no mount point the origin will be used so just grab the sword in your 3d software and move it down a bit. I remember having to do quite a lot of changing to these models for Minions of Mirth (both moving, rotating and scaling them).

#11 Just add your own mount point. I am not sure with Shaper but with Milkshape 3d you can do it with joint and rename the joint to _mountpoint. In Gamespace 1.6 just add small cube, move it where you want weapon to mount and name the cube to _mountpoint. I hope this helps.

#12 Ok trying suggestions, thanks again.

#13 Fixed, thanks all for help.

#14 Dont forget there is moutOffset also.

#15 Congrats, I am glad you got it all to work correctly!!

#16 Also, eyeOffset is how it looks in first person. You can change the offset to 0 0 0 and it will be seen where it really is on the model in first person. Sometimes this is good, sometimes not.

EDIT: Sorry, got mountOffset and eyeOffset confused. :P
