[Closed] How to make vertexanimation from multiple files?

Jan 07, 2005 9:15 am

I have need to export the animation from poser 5 to max 6. I can export the animation from poser 5 as multiple dxf/obj files. for every frame one complete mesh. Is there a possibility to import all files in max and to make a vertex animation from it, so that i have only one mesh with the complete animation on it?

thanks for your help

Yes there is. Load all of the files into Max, this may end up being pretty slow. You may want to write a small script to load the files and give each loaded object a unique name.

As for transposing the animated verts you can do the following:


fn TransAnimation dest src = 
 
 
 


(iNumVerts = meshop.getNumverts src

 
for i = 1 to iNumVerts do
(
 

[indent]meshop.setvert dest i (meshop.getvert src i)
)
[/indent]) 

sampleRate = 5 --[i]the number of frames between each exported frame of the animation[/i]
frameMeshes = #($frame02, $frame03, ...etc..., $frame20) 
 
slidertime = sampleRate
 
for fm in frameMeshes do
 


(with animate on[indent]TransAnimation $frame01 fm 


slidertime += sampleRate[/indent]

) 
 
delete frameMeshes -- delete all the unwanted meshes

I suggest you improve upon this code however. This is just a rough example of where to start.
