I'm trying to import keyframes from a MD2 (or MD3) file. Currently, when I load any more than 100 absolute keyframes through python they all pile up at the 100 mark. Is there anyway to keep this from happening, or resorting all my keyframes so that they are evenly spaced out? If this is a code issue, who should I drop a line to see about getting it resolved.

Cheers,

Bob

I'm not aware of this problem (haven't python-ed in a long while).

I'd maybe consult the python mailing list:

I ran into this problem while working on the topix cloth python code. The only solution I found was to add the vertex keys as relative and then have the user change them to absolute after I added them.

Its not too difficult to do, although it isn't as good of a solution as I wanted. It was pretty simple to include a small set of instructions to guide the user to do the conversion from relative to absolute.

You can get a link to the topix cloth implementation from the news article here and grab the code to see how I handled it if that helps.

I found a work around for the 100 keyframe limit. I changed the speed ipo curve so that it was a straight line after I made it and the keyframes didn't all pile up at 100. Here's my code:

Code:

#hack to evenly space out the vertex keyframes on the IPO chart          #it does-Happy Dance!       if i==1:          #after an IPO curve is created, make it a strait line so it          #doesn't peak out inserted frames position at 100          #get the IPO for the model, it's ugly, but it works          ob=Blender.Ipo.Get("KeyIpo")                       #get the curve for the IPO, again ugly          ipo=ob.getCurves()          #make the first (and only) curve straight          ipo[0].setExtrapolation("Extrapolation")                       #recalculate it          ipo[0].Recalc()

Cheers,

Bob
