Custom characters t posing

[casigus]

built some custom characters. they keep randomly going to t-poses when I click off them, and in testing they remain in the pose.

Then you havent imported correctly it seems

It's imported absolutely fine, it's built on the character template that comes with ggmax. Its animations working with the animations system, attacks, walks, patrols ect, this has absolutely nothing to do with how it was imported. Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

The problem is an exported character will have the embedded animations from the rig (they have to be cleared). Do this procedure:

1. Export from Blender or whatever application
2. Import the model into Max , or reimport the existing dbo into Max.
3. Press the Clear Animation button to clear any animations (shown or not)
4. Load an animation file select from the ones found in the Max in the \charactercreatorplus\animations folder eg: soldierfemale-pistol.txt
5. It will load in the animations list (add any extra you want manually)
6. Ensure you select the animation in the animation list for the one you wish to have as the default (usually 'idle'). Do this just prior to pressing Import. (This selected animation will be the default anim in the editor and game start, doing this will stop the T-posing)
7. Save imported model
8. Ensure the resulting character FPE has: - ischaracter = 1 and and any other setting you wish.

Done

oh heck forgot aboot this.

its happening with characters ive built in ggmax character creator and then reimported too. wanted to change the textures for characters to re-imported them and t-posing. ill have a look at your response and let you know what happens.

[casigus]

thanks for the response.

[casigus]

i mean setting the animations changed his shape, butttttttttt I actually really like the change aha!

still having some issues with the t-posing or the characters just not doing anything.. I'll keep digging.

Ensure you select the animation in the animation list for the one you wish to have as the default (usually 'idle'). Do not leave it on "All". Do this just prior to pressing Import. (This selected animation will be the default anim in the editor and game start, doing this will stop the T-posing)
