XSI Exporter Question

Post by **Wolfmanfx** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 12:53 am

Are in XSI exporter options for the Vertex animations? Is there somewhere tutorial about Facial Animation for XSI? I mean the head model in the demo how the vertex animations applied?

help and hint are welcome

You'll need the Dagon version of the exporter (and OGRE), which you'll have to build yourself, to use vertex animations. The ReadMe that comes with it explains the issues - they are picked up from the Mixer.

Oh sry i just saw that i have not set XSISDK_ROOT to the XSI SDK path.

[EDIT]

That's a Wix tool for building a setup file, you don't need it.

XSI comes with a shortcut which sets up all the required paths for you and starts a console, I normally make my own shortcut which uses that plus launches VC right afterwards so I can build the exporter for XSI 4.x and 5.x just by firing up different command shortcuts.
