We know how animations work, we're capable of creating them. There just isn't anyone willing to try to transfer the 20+ classes into Python and make it line up with Blender's internal animation API.

Oh my, that video is from centuries ago.. :o Wasn't this moo's work?

You don't mind if I shed a tear out of frustration here? :)
Seriously, now that we have sound working (at least for the most part) the only fundamental thing we are missing is object animation..
(well, that and texture animations, but that's for another topic). Is there anyway we can help you have this working? I really don't know how, but if there's anything that doesn't involve actualy coding but that can still help you..

Also, I know before I ask that this is a profane question, but: would there be anyway to go through small incremental steps, one feature at a time? First implement basic translations, then rotations, then whatever, then skeletal animation etc.. ?

[edit] I can't type..

It was made by MercAngel.

It was made to run on UU so I don't know if it will run on CC properly.


Yes, it does. I once converted it to CC with PRPTool and everything worked ok. It really is a shame that PRPTool is now read only.

Yeah, sorry about that... PrpTool 0.2 was kind of a temporary project which I never got around to adding write support for, but some people were still interested enough in it that I decided to release it anyway... I think Paradox and I are going to start another project up to replace older tools like PrpExplorer and PrpTool with something that both reads AND writes things *correctly* (using the Plasma library I've been working on for quite a while now), instead of that AgeMaker program I kept talking about and putting off ;)

We're just now getting features that other tools had three years ago?

O.o

Seriously, there are some NICE animations in that video. Not like those crappy Python-controlled animations we've used so far. :P

That other tool was never released though, so nobody ever actually got to use it or look at the code for it.
