animation merger

Post by Bahlswede »

Has anyone designed an animation merger. I like to work on my animtions in seperate files. It would be really nice to have a tool that can merge multiple .skel files or better yet merge the xml file before converting to skel. Is this even possible?

New here, but I can take a stab at this one.

Bahl,

It looks to me like you can just open the skel XML files in any XML editor and drag the Animation nodes into a single file. Assuming of course that your bone structure doesn't change at all -- which would really mess things up I imagine.

I tried this with a simple mesh I created this week and it worked just fine. I think I am starting to see why the XML is a nice intermediary step. Great engine guys! I can't wait to get my demo running.
