View Full Version : Endomorph Motion Mixer Problem

I've created an endomorph animated sequence in layout (character walking). The endomorph is based on 15 seperate lwo files. The sequence works and animates as normal without any issues.

This is where my problems begin, I save the endomorph in layout, then save the current object/base object with a new name. I create a new scene and import the saved endomorphed object back into layout, under the object proporties tab, I select motionmixer, but for some reason the motion mixer slider only allows a limited portion of the original endomorph animation, instead of the 20 full steps of the walk cycle, it only scrubs back 2-3 steps of the walk cycle. The problem continues despite the slider set at 100% - 200%

If anyone can help with this thanks a million!!

I don´t quite understand the situation because you seem to be mixing different concepts which don´t make so much sense.

I can get an animation based on 15 separated lwo files, or an animation based on endomorphs. Now, 15 different .lwo joined on an endormorph don´t make much sense unless you saved each file as a different endomorph, hence you would end up with 15 different morphs to play with, at morph mixer...a real mess.

The best way to create an animation based on different files in my opinion, is to save the whole thing as an .mdd file which you would load for the base model. I´ve done this previously for object sequences exported from other packages and it´s an easy workflow which works right.

Maybe I´m not properly understanding your issue, but at least half of the problem seems to be you not getting properly the endomorph concept.
