Importing MOUL ages into Blender

[GPNMilano]

Unfortunately alot of Dummy physicals would have to be imported. After Checking through the old prp, and the converted one. A good majority of the physicals appear to be missing.

[Chacal]

Well we could always go to the Drizzle project site and try to fix Drizzle itself.

[Tsar Hoikas]

I think drizzle refuses to convert some physical objects when it encounters a strange flag or a mix-match of some sort. I remember seeing something to that effect in the log files.

Which reminds me, I have some additions to drizzle that I should probably commit :\

Tsar, After sucessfully getting the two most import PRPs I wanted to import

(Dereno and Negilahn Exterior)

I was wondering, on the Devs side, if any progress has been made on the animation front. Like, looking at dereno, i noticed that all those fish, actually have two layers of animation. One, are all the emptys for the bones, that give them themselves movement. Then there are emptys outside the bones that control the direction in which some swim and some don't. Alot going on there.

[D'Lanor]

Looks like they are pretty close.

Since the news is somewhat out, yes, we (Nadnerb) are making progress in that area. It's all pretty rough and untest right now, and some major changes are coming through before the next PyPRP release, so I wouldn't exactly urge the average user to try the trunk at this point... (Catch my drift?)

[GPNMilano]

Would the drift be "don't use the trunk cause it may break your ages"

[Trylon]

Essentially: Spot on!

Though people who understand pyprp's inner workings will probably be able to use it with quite some effort.

[GPNMilano]

Lucky for me I don't play around with stuff in the trunk. I just wait for official releases. And since age creation has gotten me into a funk. (can't see wavesets till I get a new graphics card). I decided to tackle the import function of pyprp, since its not gonna be worked on by the devs. So I took the most stable import release available and finally got it to import MOUL ages. Now I just need to get the physicals in drizzle to correctly compile to the Uru CC format, which is a can of another worms.

[Chacal]

I have a confession: I find this much more interesting than making Ages.
I'll join you in the week-end if I'm still alive and show you how to create the dummy physicals.
