animation in lightwave~

#1

Hi guys,
Does anyone knows how to edit messiah’s animation with lightwave, have tried linking my animation with lightwave thru messiah’s displace, but cant find the way to edit the motion or to bake the animation using motion mixer in lightwave…thanks~

there no way to edit messiah animation in LW in a rig type way
just load up Messiah again if you have it

BUT i do remember watching a Video from the point oven site that let you edit/add endomorphs type deformation to MDD files with a timeline control thing…

( i watch it before he updated,…maybe 12 -18 months ago not Sure if it’s still there ? )

I never needed or used this or even checked this features look odd from the video But

what did you need to do ?

Hi T4D,
Thanks for sharing, at first i’ve import an object from lightwave into messiah and try animate it, after the animation was done up, i linked it to lightwave to do a walk cycle of my animation using motion mixer, but i cant bake the motion…do you have any other solutions? thanks~

ok you have lost me ?:shrug:

if you animate in messiah there’s no real way to uses Lightwave motion mixer ??
I can’t see how you can mix mdd files in LW ??

Messiah has it’s own nonlinear editor ( in the compose tab ) like all thing it’s much nicer then Standard LW. once complete you bake that out in mdd for Lightwave to load and uses as normal .
