i tried to set the texture by Animated3D index instead of name, seems work.

Code: [Select]

animatedGroup.get(0).setTexture("head");
animatedGroup.get(1).setTexture("headTop");
animatedGroup.get(2).setTexture("head");
...


nice

video not appearing part may also related to a thread synchronization issue. in particular if you dont consume a video frame new update never arrives (as far as I remember)

?? you are answering my qestion?

nope, sorry, wrong thread, have no idea how this happened

you cannot I believe. materials and texture information is not passed to Bones during export-import process. texture coordinates are passed though.

in this case, you can for example bake the materials into a texture and assign that texture to your Animated3D's

well, the error is descriptive I suppose there are multiple skeletons. maybe you are exporting multiple models with separate skeletons?

you can have multiple models and all should be attached to a single skeleton

what is facial landmarks?

Bones only support skeleton animation in Collada files (yet dont know if other type of animation exist in Collada files, anyway) for sure you need a skeleton rigged to your model for that.

facial animations are generally pose animations (although not a strict rule), Bones only support it via Ogre3D not via Collada. have a look at FacialAnimationSample for that

yes, Bones' binary format should be faster and more important it has no runtime dependency other then Bones and jPCT. remember when loading Collada or Ogre3D format, Ardor3D's or jME's loader / parser is used, then converted to Bones format.

this has nothing to do with .obj format. just a binary representation of Bones animation model.

you can use the scripts in the /scripts folder to convert to Bones' binary format. they should provide help with -help switch

hey!

nope, not possible with current state of api. you can change the code or use reflection to add a joint to skeleton. however I'm not sure math will follow what you intend to do.

I will suggest attaching your movable object to skeleton at blender and export the male body and object as a group, separate objects but both are linked to same skeleton. at run time you can show/hide your object. (not sure if possible with blender exporter, but anyway)

see the ninja demo, it's exported as a group and ninja holds a sword at his hand which can be shown/hidden but follows ninja's animation.

I'd still need the very first one, for the model itself, right?

sorry?

We're still talking about my JSON-serialized format, you see.

in that case you shouldnt care about vertex count or unique vertex count in jPCT. your exporter from 3dsMax and importer to jPCT should agree on that.
