• 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.

Skinned animation problem

Hello everybody,
when i export my animated model from 3ds max (skin animation with bones, with linear rotation controller), everything seems to work, but then it has the rotational axis of the bones inverted or messed up.
Any hints?
 
i made a video to show how i try to make it:
EDIT: i forget to assign the material to the box, but that's not the problem.


Hope anyone can help me.

Hello,

I had the same issue while animating my retardant refill station firefighter.
MCX does not simulate skinned animations accurately. You have to test the model in FSX (or P3D) to check if the animation is fine.
 
Daaaaaamn before reading you i discovered myself that mcx doesnt support bones...... I just tried to fire it up p3d and everything was working.... - _-''
3 days wasted to understand.....
Thanks fir your answer bytheway!
 
Tonaz,

Just wondering why you were having to use MCX to export with? Why not doing it fully in Max or Blender?

I had issues with a pilot that drove me nuts. Exported fine, worked fine in Max, but in P3D, he turned into a giant pen cushion when animating. I think (theory) that he had too many polygons and vertices and it overwhelmed the system. Not sure. I worked hard and long to make that work and got no where and there seems to be no one that is a good source of information on this.
 
Also, remember that the 'material' is utterly important, and that when you export from Max, you 'must' tick the 'export skinned material' box. If you dont, your model will be missing the parts that make this happen.
