• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Reading skin and bone animations from glTF

In the latest development release of ModelConverterX I have added the functionality to read skin and bone animations from the glTF format as well. This means that ModelConverterX can now also visualise this kind of animations for glTF objects (either standard glTF or MSFS glTF).

There is one small catch in the current implementation. glTF files that have been processed by the MSFS package tool seem to apply some kind of optimization to the skin and bone animations. I partly understand how that differs from the glTF standard, but for some parts that have a skin and bone animation there are still displacements. I have added this issue to the todo list and hope to be able to fix this soon. If you see this issue on a simple test object, please let me know as that might help in understanding what kind of optimizations are done.

At the moment ModelConverterX can not yet write skin and bone animations to glTF file. So on export they are still ignored. That is one of the next items on the todo list to start working on.
