UU3D for converting .x models to FBX

[xtreampb]

how well does UU3D convert different model types. I know that they are all plugins but how well do they work. I don't want to buy it if it doesn't work well. If someone can convert a model for me I would appreciate it greatly.

Some people have had a problem with fbx in uu3d.But it is a very usefull program. I just save to gmf and change extension to mdl.

I beeive blender works well with fbx.

UU3D works well in most cases, although sometimes it is doing some weird stuff. FragMotion or UU3D, either of them always works.

[xtreampb]

which one is cheaper and more reliable?

[cassius]

Well fragmotion can be used for animation. I only use uu3d for file conversion.

[xtreampb]

will UU3D convert animations?

[xtreampb]

ok so i'm using fragmotion. I got 15 different animations. I export as fbx and import it into LE. I see the model in LE and i have this as my script. I just want to make sure i'm doing this right.

 

import "Scripts/AnimationManager.lua"


function Script:Start()

self.animationmanager=AnimationManager:Create(self.entity)
self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(1,.02)

end



function Script:Draw()

self.animationmanager:Update()

end

 

I don't see the first or second or any animations. Am i doing this right cassius, or am i missing a step in my export/save process?

[cassius]

uu3d can handle animation files.

AFAIK Leadwerks does not support multiple-line animations.

@bandrewk

I did this exact same thing with a copy of the model. It seems like it is looking for an animation shader. Is this right?

 

also if leadwerks doesn't support multiple animations, then how does it differentiate between animaiton sequences. The animation manager doesn't use animation frame locations like LE 2.x did.
