SetupMachine problems with V10 model

#1

Has anyone else had trouble with the setup machine not reading a v.10 model? It says it’s loading the model but never really finishes.

#2

Have you downloaded the V10 update from Anzovin?

I think I may have figured out the issue. It looks like my model’s bone names got messed up somehow. I never renamed the bones that came with the setupmachine but somehow when I imported the skeleton into my model the names of the bones all were altered (the number “3” was added to all of them) from what the Setup Machine recognizes.

Since I didn’t rename any of the bones I never really gave it much thought until I was really carefully thinking everything through and went back over the SetupMachine documentation. After realizing that this is what probably was doing it I smacked myself on the forehead.

Now I’m in the process of altering the AMWeights data file so that the weighting will work with the model. After I changed all the bone names to remove the “3” from the names AMWeights stopped recognizing those bones. I’m using Notepad to find and replace the names of the bones so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

All of this is a lesson learned: Make sure you pay attention to your naming conventions, even if you are using a supplied or often used model/skeleton.
