AnimControl – one for many objects

Ok i get that you want to switch parts of the model. So I made a small test case to demonstrate what I mean. I think you are over complicating something that is already fairly complicated… [java] package mygame; import com.jme3.animation.AnimChannel; import com.jme3.animation.AnimControl; import com.jme3.animation.LoopMode; import com.jme3.animation.SkeletonControl; import com.jme3.app.SimpleApplication; import com.jme3.input.KeyInput; import com.jme3.input.controls.A…

How to attach the object to a character?

Hi The usual way is : If you want cloth to blend with movement of body parts then yes you need to rig and animate cloth. For doing this you need to attach cloth to character rig and do “weight_paint” on cloth in your 3D Editor so that the cloth will follow the movement of the character rig.(Blender has an auto weight paint option which will lessen the painful work of weight painting ) there is an other ugly way you can cut and separate the cloth for each bone ex: for pants you need to…

getAttachmentNode() attach multiple spatials to a skeleton

There are 2 things to not mistake here. you can attach a geometry to a bone by getting the attachement node on this bone and attach the geometry to it. The effect is that the geometry’s transforms will “copy” the bone transforms. That’s convenient for a sword attached to a hand or even a helmet to a head. Now, for parts like legs and chest the rig has to deform the mesh not only transform it. When you export from ogre a rigged character sub-graph is made of a node on which all the character g…

Animations for same skeleton, different objects, blender question

Hi, The following question is about workflow in blender and jme3. The problem is this. I have a game character. The character is rigged and has animations on it. The character will be able to wear many different clothes. Now I can create a file have single Armature and parent to it the character and all the clothes. But this is not sufficient solution. What I would want is to have each piece of clothing to be in a separate file. Now, I can do this by creating the clothing in the file with char…

Wieldable weapons/equipable armors

I feel pretty dumb for asking this, but if you wanna have weapons and armors and clothing. Should they be done as models that you attach to the node of your character model, or are they textures that you apply in UV wrapping?

Swapping Equipment - Big Newbie!

Hi David There was a post a little while ago about customisable faces, which might be helpful http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/jmeforum/index.php?topic=4312.0 For equipment, a common method is to have a placeholder or attachment point on the models, with a special name or some other way of finding it when the model is loaded. For example, planes in my game have gun0, gun1 etc. to show where to attach guns, and the same system is used for propellers, smoke effects, collision …

[SOLVED] Attaching spatial to bone through controls

Hey @domas, I quickly wrote a test app for you. It just shall show you how to place your gun to the players hand. It might be that you have to adjust your gun with an extra node, so that the gun fits perfectly into the hands. Here the TestApp: public class Main extends SimpleApplication { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Main app = new Main(); app.start(); } @Override public void simpleInitApp() { cam.setLocation(Vector3f.UNIT_Z); Spatial player = asse…
