You don't get all the bells and whistles, but it works I guess ;p


BTW: I had to encrypt the scripts as it contains some functions that aren't supposed to be public yet. You still run them like normal (MAXScript -> Run Script).

Did he say max 2008? I've been waiting so long, +rep.

I'm curious. It lists the names of the animations for a gun; does it automatically create those for you, or do you still have to do those by hand?

I'm perfectly fine with blitzkrieg, but I think I'll dl anyways.

Best proof for the fact that 90% of the people that download this have no clue.

I forgot that Blitzkrieg had IK support...:rolleyes:

[CtrlAltDestroy]

This is mainly for people who animate in gmax, or max 9 and 2008. (Blitzkrieg supports IK if you set it up correctly btw)

It lists the names of the max scene files you have queued. It saves animations based on those names as well.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Yes, if the IK rig is linked correctly which makes all the bones individual frames. I don't really call that an IK rig anymore. ;)

I'm sorry, animations aren't my specialty, can you explain exactly what this does differently than exporting each animation through Blitzkrieg?

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Nothing. But as I said, these scripts were mainly intended for use in versions of max where blitzkrieg is not compatible.

[SMASH]

Gotcha, well thanks cause that does include me since I use MAX 2008 but since I haven't done animations in a while I totally forgot there's no way to export them, lol. I got some to do coming up so this is great. Thanks.

I have been waiting for one of these for a very long time!
THANK YOU!
