blender files needed

[smokey13]

as the title says I need blender files (preferably made with blender 2.63-2.66), to be more specific I need files for a weapon with animations and a character with animations. you see I have discovered a work around for blenders FBX exporter, I have tested it with 2 vehicles, 1 of the vehicles has animations containing both rotation and translation and they worked perfectly.

so if anyone has any spare files they don't mind sharing I would appreciate it.

oh and it doesn't matter if the models aren't good or don't have textures, I only need them for testing the work around to see if it works on weapons and characters.

thanks

Here you can download a weapon with ironsight animations (Zoom, Fire, Equip,...) http://rapidshare.com/files/1304864260/m14.blend

thanks fighter5347 that's a big help, I will test it to see if the workaround works.

now all I need is to do is find a character with anims to test with

I've got that one character from blendswap and blendercookie rigging tutorial working with a poor walk/run cycle, will upload later on today.

What kind of workaround is this? I rotated my skeletal mesh to 'lay on its side' right before .fbx export and it did import with correct axis orientations in UDK.

I just tested the weapon and it worked fine, so that's 2 vehicles and 1 weapon both with animations tested and they seem to work fine. witch is good

just in case anyone is interested, the work around I was testing that seems to work is to check the box for the "XNA rotate animation hack" in the fbx export settings as well as using the commented lines for the armature and using the "TOA ref pose" when importing. the XNA hack disables global rotation on export (basically locking the bones in place).

well I didn't get round to testing a character but it does work for weapons and vehicles, needs to be tested a few more times.
