Weird Up and Down Movement

[AGP]

It seems that when I export the Cubix Studio male model (biped) with OgreMax it moves erratically up and down and the only solution that I could find is erasing the keyframes of the COM object. This way it stays still, but it looks wrong. I think that Bones is exaggerating the movements of the COM object, (say, if the COM moves up 0,5m Bones moves like 50m).

how does it look on OgreMax viewer?

[AGP]

Sorry for the delay, but I hate OgreMax WinViewer (for one thing, it forces me to export the model in binary). Maybe I'm doing something wrong in it, but it lists all my animations, seems to play them (counts the frames up), but I see no movement in OgreMax WinViewer.

[raft]

then possibly there is something wrong with your exporting

[AGP]

I was doing something wrong: I was setting the animations to active. But OgreMax WinViewer is such a ridiculously lame viewer that I've no (proper) control over its camera. When the walk animation played, the character was translated down and I couldn't get near enough to see it (but it did move, and apparently not up and down).

[AGP]

I meant I was doing something wrong IN OGREMAX WINVIEWER. Bones is playing my animations wrong.

PS: I've sent you the model by e-mail for your inspection. I'll appreciate any help you may give me.

well first make sure the model and animation looks correct in OgreMax viewer.

btw I'm away from my computer for a few days

[AGP]

I did and it looks right. Bones is doing something wrong.

I'll have a look when I return the city

[raft]

btw, r u sure you are using the last version? -at least I think so- I've fixed a similar problem

[AGP]

I wasn't using the latest version before, but I am now. Still broken.

I need the mesh.xml and skeleton.xml files, not the max file

[AGP]

That's very odd, seeing as how you have to have OgreMax, but I'll send them to you.

[raft]

Yes, I have OgreMax. But what is odd? if you had a problem with some exported Obj file, would you send Obj file or max file?

[AGP]

I sent you the max files because the more complete test is before the export. Since we don't know exactly the problem, starting at the beginning makes sense, right? Nevertheless, I have just sent you the files. Thanks in advance.
