i doubt it as most of the 3p anims are dealt via the pawns animtree

Landwalker link broken
Hi Geodav,
May I ask you to put that link (or its content) UP again ? (http://www.gamefront.com/files/22336351/LandWalker_rar)
I would like to complete your LandWalker tutorial and I would like to start with the model used for the tutorial.
I also have some questions (hope it will not be too timeconsuming):
- My project is to port a HL2 Strider model into UT3 (as a pilotable vehicle). What do you think about that ? Do you think it is a reasonable/faisable project ?
I already have imported the model, textures, bones, animations, etc... into 3DSMAX and then into the UT3 engine. I also tried with Blender, which I love, but it was some time ago and export/import scripts where not so effective. (there is a big chance that I was the main problem and maybe not Blender or its scripts)
I also got the Strider animated... but as a kind of animated staticmesh with a loop walking animation
My last result was: strider imported and spawned as a vehicle into a test map. But lot of "orientation" problems... (strider's legs under the ground, or upside down...). I guess I need to complete your walker tutorial first
May I ask your help if I get stuck with some problems ? I certainly will create a new topic for that project.
Finaly, I want you to know that I'm impressed by your UDK skills as I am for your "pedagogical skills".
Thanks a lot for helping people creating things.
PS: sorry for my "so French English"
Best regards

Hi Tux sorry for the late reply must have missed your post some how. sorry again it seems gamefront is clearing everything out so i've emptied my dropbox and add the rar file which has all the content but not the videos
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34288586/LandWalker.rar
it takes a lot of tweaking to get the legs/feet right just make sure the bones are lined up as i show in my video's, if you get stuck just give me a shout here and i'll see how i can help

if you need actorx for newer versions of max then try here http://www.gildor.org/smf/index.php?topic=1221.0
not tried anything like that in blender, solong as the body and feet bones are aligned correctly then it should work, remember to use the udk tools to export from blender as the fbx export for skeletalmeshes doesn't work right

Hi Geodav,
I'm slowy making my way
My strider has spawned from its factory which I have compiled into UDK (by using udk.com make).
The problem I'm facing is that the vehicle is lying on its back. (yes he is right, time to go to bed ...). I think that certainly is a rotation problem in the Factory isn't it ? My Skeletal Mesh is aligned front along the X axis and the Y axis is along its right side.
But the orientation of the main body bone (root bone), is different: Z axis to the front and X axis to the left side.
Will I have to re-orientate the bones into Max ? Is there a way to do that into UDK ?
Thanks you by advance.
Have a good night.

Hi Geodav,
Thanks for the reply. how can I verrify the bones pivot point ?
I have checked into the AnimSet and the root bone orientaiton is orientated like this: Z = front; X = left side; Y = down. I guess it is not good because UT3 is orentated lthix way: X = front; Z = UP. Is it what you want me to check ?
It would be realy complicated for me to change bones orientation into 3DSMAX. I'm not a max pro.
do you know how to do that. I guess only the root bone has to be orientated, isn't it ?
If I knew hot to: unlink the root bone and the mesh + rotate the root bone / re-link the root bone and the mesh; into 3DSMAX, maybe it would work.
Regards
Tux
