Basic Animation help needed with 3ds max

woodelf · Aug 4, 2006

Using particle systems and a sphere I have a simple animation set up for my siege gun. It runs through the animation of firing a cannon ball with smoke billowing out fine and shows in a render shot, but I can't figure out to export the file and get both the .nif and .kfm files. :confused:

Am I missing something simple or is it harder than it looks?

To make my animation I used Autokey, moved the slider, changed the ball's location, ect from 0 to 100. Did I do something wrong?

HELP! My advancement to lvl3 depends on this!

Thanks for any help

No I thought lvl 4 depended on this.

If I get this to work I'll skip lvl3. Gladly!

I'm working on your Jeep next AC so wish me luck on this!

Here's a 3 second avi of the gun in action. It's all I can do until I figure how to export animations.

I like the animation, it's a great start. I'm looking forward to the jeep.

It would be sweet if you got the siege gun with its own animations. You know that you can still upload zips to civfanatics, just not attach them anymore.

I think I can help you with your problem but I can't explain it here in a few words. At the moment I'm making a railway gun unit with new animations and I'm writing a complete tutorial at the same time. It should be out middle of next week.
I guarantee you. After you read this you'll be ready for master lvl1 :cooool:

Thanks sharick, that's what I needed to hear. I eagerly await your Tut.

Basically I wanted to try it and see where I stood and now I know.

Now I can happily go back to simply models and wait for the animations to come at a later date.

Again, thanks for telling me exactly what I was hoping to hear.
