Is keyframed shape animation supported for V2 meshes?

[knn217]

Hello, I follow "blender2ogre"'s guide here: https://github.com/corum/blender2ogre/b ... mations.md to try and export some cloth animation. The guide only had instruction for V1 meshes but when I exported V2 mesh, the shape animation seems to be supported too since it showed up in the exporter's log.

So how do I enable the shape animation? I've been looking at the morph animation sample but it seems to be different from what I need here

Hi!

The Morph sample should be what you need. Is there anything specifically that you think is not fit for your use case?

Thanks for the reply! I don't know if I've missed anything but the Morph sample is morphing meshes by changing the weight to their poses right?

In my case, I'm trying to import a mesh and load the shape animation I created when I exported that mesh, like in the link to blender2ogre that I provided.

I was expecting to be able to get some animation object from the scenenode of that mesh and then add frametime to it. I can't find the animation data in my object but the exporter did say that shape animation was exported, so the animation data probably is in there, I just don't know how to extract it. Here's the blender2ogre.log file:

The Morph sample seems to be creating an animation on the fly by changing the pose's weight to a sin function, not getting an existing shape animation and run it . Are these methods actually the same and I can achieve what I wanted with setPoseWeight? or is there another function for my use case?

Can you try exporting the mesh with OGREv1 and opening it in OgreMeshy to see if there is an issue with blender2ogre?

That is unless you want to share the model and I'll try that myself
