Well, goddamnit, GODDAMNIT! Again, again!

Well, still can't get it right. The materials have been fixed, apparently, but only for some models. Others still have trouble??? (Saurosaur model has some trouble when it's subsurfaced, but I believe this is related to the matrix problem at hand)

At least this picture is a little less boring


Also, I have a feeling some people don't know what spinal curves are. Actually, if you have studied animation, you might understand these as "Action Lines" or "Line of Action" or whatever name you want to give them. In fact, if you build your skeleton correctly, you can draw these spinal curves, and it shows you the model's action pose, from which it is WAY easier to tweak that action line than it is to screw with posing bones. I hope that Blender integrates this posing system into it's bones, it would only require an additional flag and some simple bone-blending editing tricks. It's very helpful for bringing things to life. What good is this realtime though? It's helpful if you don't have shaders on your PC, so you can at least see the game sort of. It's also helpful for special effects, and some other 'interesting' deformations... he he.



I still need help with the exporter. It's not to my QC standards yet.
