Hello,

I have searched the Mod Forum over with a fine toothed comb and I have not been able to find an answer to my question, so please don't flame me if this has been asked before. Listen

Anyway. I have been tinkering around with the models in Renegade, and I have been able to bone a character correctly. My question is:

How do I make the character use an animation inside gmax/3dsmax?

An example would be making the chem warrior use one of the idle animations. I have been able to import the animations into gmax, but I have not been able to link the two together in order to get the chem-warrior to use the animations bones. I am not particularly interested in exporting the animation with the character on it. My intent is to use them for animations for SHP's (old school cnc editing.)

Any insight?

you can't import animations afaik. but if you succeded then you should try the steps from boning a character but with the imported animation instead

Well, I have been able to import the animations in and they work fine. I havn't tried to connect the mesh to the skeleton, but I assume it will work. The only problem is, you would have to attach the mesh to the skeleton in a non-base pose, which I don't know how well that would work. Huh
