Head is Missing

[AGP]

I'm exporting a model whose head is separate from its body (but, naturally, in the same file). The following code is apparently not adding the head to the AnimatedGroup, because my model is imported headless. What gives?

Code Select Expand


     /** calculates and returns whole bounding box of skinned group */
     protected float[] calcBoundingBox() {
float[] box = null;

for (Animated3D skin : animatedGroup) {
float[] skinBB = skin.getMesh().getBoundingBox();

if (box == null) {
box = skinBB;
} else {
// x
box[0] = Math.min(box[0], skinBB[0]);
box[1] = Math.max(box[1], skinBB[1]);
// y
box[2] = Math.min(box[2], skinBB[2]);
box[3] = Math.max(box[3], skinBB[3]);
// z
box[4] = Math.min(box[4], skinBB[4]);
box[5] = Math.max(box[5], skinBB[5]);
}
}
return box;
     }
     protected AnimatedGroup createAnimatedGroup() throws Exception {
// we only specify the mesh file, skeleton file automatically loaded, and should be in same directory. 
URL ninjaUrl = new File(objectFileName).toURI().toURL();

com.jmex.model.ogrexml.OgreLoader loader = new com.jmex.model.ogrexml.OgreLoader();
OgreEntityNode node = loader.loadModel(ninjaUrl);

// data in ogre file is upside down, so rotate around x axis
AnimatedGroup animatedGroup = BonesImporter.importOgre(node, 2f, new Quaternion().rotateX((float)Math.PI));

Texture texture = new Texture(objectFileName.substring(0, objectFileName.lastIndexOf("."))+".jpg");
TextureManager.getInstance().addTexture("ninja", texture);

for (Animated3D o : animatedGroup) {
     o.setTexture("ninja");
     o.build();
     o.discardMeshData();
}
return animatedGroup;
     }
      protected SkeletonDebugger createSkeletonDebugger() throws Exception {
// in this file, root joint always remain in origin which doesn't look so good.
// so we tell debugger to ignore root joint (0)
int[] ignore = new int[animatedGroup.get(0).getSkeleton().getNumberOfJoints() - 20];
for (int i = 0; i < ignore.length; i++) {
     ignore[i] = i+20;
}
return new SkeletonDebugger(animatedGroup.get(0).getSkeletonPose(), 10f, 0.2f, 0);
      }
      protected void initialize() throws Exception {
this.animatedGroup = createAnimatedGroup();

this.skinClipSequence = animatedGroup.getSkinClipSequence();
this.poseClipSequence = animatedGroup.getPoseClipSequence();

this.hasSkinAnimation = (skinClipSequence != null) && (skinClipSequence.getSize() != 0);
this.hasPoseAnimation = (poseClipSequence != null) && (poseClipSequence.getSize() != 0);

this.skinAnim = hasSkinAnimation;
this.animationSequence = hasSkinAnimation ? -1 : 0;

animatedGroup.addToWorld(theWorld);

// all SkinnedObject3D share the same pose
this.currentPose = animatedGroup.get(0).getSkeletonPose();

this.skeletonDebugger = createSkeletonDebugger();
if (skeletonDebugger != null) {
skeletonDebugger.addToWorld(theWorld);
skeletonDebugger.setVisibility(showSkeleton);
}

        float[] bb = calcBoundingBox();
        float height = bb[3] - bb[2];
        Config.farPlane = Math.max(height * 100, Config.farPlane);

for (Animated3D o : animatedGroup) {
     o.setVisibility(showMesh);
}

        update(0); // update once to reflect changes visible in first scene
      }

first check the mesh.xml file to see if head is actually there. if so check Animated3D count in group to make sure head is not actually in group. it may be either not exported or somehow misplaced / misanimated.

The parts are losing their Max names (I'm not sure if that's normal for OgreMax), but the files does seem to have the right number of them:

    <submeshnames>
        <submeshname name="submesh0" index="0" />
        <submeshname name="submesh1" index="1" />
        <submeshname name="submesh2" index="2" />
        <submeshname name="submesh3" index="3" />
        <submeshname name="submesh4" index="4" />
    </submeshnames>

ok, what about AnimatedGroup size?

[AGP]

System.out.println("Size: "+animatedGroup.getSize()) prints 5.

ok, your head is there. but possibly because of a bad animation frame its vertices are gone to some weird location.

did you try your model with my sample application? if not, try with it and enable wireframe drawing, maybe you can see the head at somewhere
