Hi I am searching someone who knows structures of x files and is familiar with skinned animations in directx. I am familiar too quite well (I even wrote directx exporter to x file for blender), however I have the problem which I completely don't understand. I have mesh and move only one bone. And in...

I see bug in blender interface:
http://www.blender.org/documentation/bl ... ertexGroup

There is none way to get to know how much vertices are in this vertex group.

I found what is wrong. IK constraints cannot be in some distance from the FK bonesl. I removed all IK constraints which were in distance from affected bones (elbowIK, kneeIK and armIK) and extrude them once again and apply as IKs and now rest pose is the same as default pose position.

It seems that armIK and elbowIK constraints make that pose position is not the same as rest position. However I still want to have armIK and elbowIK constraints so I don't know what to do.

Sometimes we would like to change a bit shape of our mesh. It happens especially when we apply armature to our mesh and then our mesh is a little deformed even if armature is in default position.

Hi I have animation in which only two bones are changed. Here are their keyframes coordinates: armIK_l frame 0: x: 4.13115 Y: -1.54321 Z: -3.46038 frame 12: X: 3.81950 Y: 1.00969 Z: -3.46038 frame 18 (center of animation): X: 4.11237 Y: 0.46628 Z: -3.46038 frame 30: X: 3.46946 Y: -2.37290 Z: -3.4603...

Is any chance to disable for a moment (just for test/debug purposes) keyframe of the particular bone? My current workaround is to save file, then remove all keyframes which belongs to the particular bone and in this way I am able to check how animation looks like. Then I have to reload file in order...

I have opened 3d view window and DopeSheet window (in which action editor is chosen). When I select bone in 3d view window then this bone is selected also in action editor (name of bone name is highlighted). However when I do in other way - select bone in action editor - it isn't selected in 3d view...

I have cube which has 3 uv layer maps. There are vertices which participate in only one uv layer map, 2 or even all 3. I pinned my uv map vertices. When I execute the below code I get output: LayerAmount = [] LayerCurrentNr = [] for index in range(len(Mesh.vertices)): LayerAmount.append(0) LayerCurr...

Hi, As we know for example a cube consists of 8 vertices. However if we don't do any optimization when we export our model to .x file we will have 36 vertices instead of 8. So I wrote a program (modify some script) which let us to optimize this and has 8 vertex instead of 36. However the problem is ...

something like this
bpy.ops.object.vertex_group_limit_total(limit=4, all_deform_weights=False)

I checked and it doesn't work. There are still some not removed bones weights with weight = 0.

How to make in weight painting mode that when vertex: - belongs to 4 vertex groups and have weight > 0 in those 4 groups do not color it. I suppose that I have to write some python code and put it into current default code of modify color action. However how can I get to know which function is invok...

I would like to have max 4 bone influences per vertex. That is why I would like to get rid of weights which don't belong to 4 max weights. I wrote some python script which change all weights which aren't max 4 ones to 0. It works well. However now I have a problem because I would like to remove vert...
