Serithi Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Hell, put the M+F rigs to use for my second one. Some issues with floating and such since i wasn't sure where the "floor" was exactly, but hey. http://www.loverslab.com/topic/18461-post-your-sex-screenshots/page-480?do=findComment&comment=1267293 There's a storm on the horizon. A very lewd storm. c: Gotta say, it's kinda awesome being able to do this now. No need to MacGuyver something halfway together with unrelated poses, i can just go "no, fuck you, imma make the poses i need myself" and actually get that done.
pornphile Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Hmm.. you mean floor in 3ds Max? You can press 'G' to toggle the grid floor. And some prefer to use perspective view instead of ortho.
Serithi Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Hm. How would i go about duplicating the female rig so i can have a F+F rig? Would make lining certain animations up a lot easier . Is it literally just "clone the female rig and good to go", or is it gonna take some fiddling around?

Is it literally just "clone the female rig and good to go", or is it gonna take some fiddling around? Could work. Max will rename the skeleton and controllers upon cloning. The skeleton would need to be renamed back prior to exporting. Removing the suffix with the rename tool should be enough.
TDA Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Yes, but the camera of the second actor will be rotated 180 degrees (will be problems with a first-person view)
pornphile Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks made my first animation! mt_idle.7z Grats!
Jimcarry Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks for the tutorial. Here is a sneak peek at my first sexlab animation. https://streamable.com/l4is
fallwish Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I just wonder the havok tools possible work with 3dmax 2013??
Jimcarry Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I don't know if somebody has posted this before, but this really helped me with moving parts in animation. Pink crosses are the IK (Inverse Kinematics) controllers. To change the movement (i.e make the movement smoother), first click on one, and then to the right you will see a tab, with lots of buttons. Click on the modify button (rainbow button), look down and you will see a tab called "Custom attributes", underneath this tab it tab has a modifier for the IK/FK blend. You can change this to allow movement or make movement smoother for your skeleton part. The Green controllers are the FK (Forward Kinematics) controllers. These control the joints and such directly. You can change the movement by doing what was said above about that IK controllers. FK controllers means you rotate everything manually, which can be kinda slow and fiddly IK controllers are the crosses, you just move them and the respective limbs move around with it as per their constraints - Blarrgh
llabsky Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 So I've been trying to make female/creature animations and everything works until I test them in game. I've only testing using the idle animations and the female works fine, but the giant flips out with his idle animation. What I've done (I use 3ds max 2012) 1. open a blank file and import the female skeleton rig, then import the meshes on top of it, then save to a .max file and exit 2. open a blank file and import giant skeleton from the meshes.bsa (meshes>actors>giant>character assets>skeleton.nif), then the meshes from more nasty critters, giant_nude.nif. save and exit 3. open the giant file first (the skeleton and meshes are on the same layer, if they are on different layers the next step screws everything up) then using reference>xref scene I import the female .max file. Also If I open the female file first then import the giant using the xref it doesn't work 4. make the animation 5. skip 4:00 - 6:40 of your video tutorial 6. save and exit 7. open the file from step 6 and delete the giant layer, then copy everything you do from 6:40 till the end of the tutorial 8. open the file from step 6 again and delete everything except for the giant layer 9. After opening havoc content tools the only thing I change is under "Create Skeletons" > "Build rig" because I can't use the female rig for the giant, right? Other than that I followed it exactly. I changed http://i.imgur.com/7yUM0EW.jpg to http://i.imgur.com/giVUzoL.jpg After I replaced their idle animations, the female idle follows the animation I did in 3ds max but the giants body warps and goes all mental when play it's idle. Anyone got an idea? Thanks

Anyone got an idea? Thanks Do you get any errors when you run configuration? You may need to supply your own bone rig.txt. Use hkxcmd.exe and put the giant skeleton.hkx in the same directory then run: hkxcmd.exe dumplist skeleton.hkx This will output more hkx files. Rename their extensions to txt. One of them should be a bones list. Plug this into HCT in place of XPMS RIG 1.6c Full Bone.txt I've only tested on canines and the workflow is the same as normal. Maybe there's something peculiar about other creatures. http://gfycat.com/SpectacularInfatuatedBufeo Also ask someone who's successfully exported giant animations.
llabsky Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Using the txt file from the dumplist helped a bit. The animation looks normal but the fingers go mental.

Re-run configuration and look at the warnings again. You may be able to select multiple bones and Reset Stretch/Scale all at once.

Maybe you can add a dummy node and rename it 'Weapon' so HCT doesn't complain. Might export just fine without it. I don't know.
fallwish Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 anyone have issue in window 10 when try to export with havok content tools, it just loading long time... I don't have this problems when using win7.. I try remove and reinstall everything, but havok content tools still need long time to load...

I've been playing around with the and it seems to be working in regards to getting rid of the errors. But in game they are still warped but don't flicker. Its frustrating because the fixing one finger breaks another. When I open up the skeleton and use the edit bone mode on all bones it fixes all the errors in HCT (except the weapon). After i animate, back to the bone problems again. I got all of the left hand fingers to co-operate, but the right hand seems to be a problem, which is where the "weapon" is. I made a dummy called weapon... but now I don't know how I did it... uped the bone count to 80 but it had an error that said something like "Bone has replicated root" or "2 bone have a root". I don't remember exactly what it said. I didn't copy/paste the message... Found it, it says; Gathering Filter Changes for Footstep Analysis Create Skeletons [0xabba44f4] Warning : Skeleton "NPC Root [Root]" has multiple roots.

Apparently Falmer and Draugr have the same problems but I haven't tested them myself. BOOM! http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/8-13-2015/onD8ys.gif Thank you pornphine, I would have never figured any of that out on my own. The bone tool works but it is very annoying to use, as fixing one thing breaks another. I figured out where the dummy tool was then linked it to the root bone which made HCT show no more errors. Linking from the bone to the dummy does not work, it just creates more problems. I also had to create a new layer underneath the layer with all of the bones or else it says you must put weapon under the root. No idea why the jaw fixed itself, but hopefully I won't run into that problem again... is there a way to test the files (idle.xml or idle.hkx) without having to replace their in game idles, re run fnis, and load up the game?
Jimcarry Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Running in with a problem with the final step. Using windows 10 and 3ds max 2012. Edit: Found out what was wrong.. Here is my failed animation if any body wants to check it out... the fingers did not reach close enough to the nose, so I have to make the nose lower and longer. http://streamable.com/mq06

jackblackdaz Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Hi and thanks for all of this you have here for us. In a nutshell. I go through every step as described and just fine with no issues, im not new to 3ds max and modding skyrim with my own creations. But in regards to animating i am, but its not hard for me to pick on things so its not a learning curve. the issue is no matter how i follow your steps/or leito's since i have Max 2012 i end up in a t pose in skyrim I tried a loop animation and then a static pose and still the same results. My question is this, can this be due to me using your files, max scence, rig etc and me having a different skeleton in game? I use the latest XPMSE HDT skeleton. is that the issue? that the bones from the rig are maybe not the same as the skeleton i use? Any reply is welcomed, thanks.

Okay so that was something else i was worried about, specifically when i export I SHIFT RIGHT CLICK on the folder that contains hktcnv.exe since i cant get it to work through the method you show in your vid. When I SHIFT RIGHT CLICK i choose "OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE" and then proceed to enter the syntax as seen in your vid. it does convert to HKX, and as I see now from what your converted the way I did it is at a lower compression. So thats how i did it, not sure how it impacts it all in the end though.
