Misc Blender ksanim/knh exporter 0.4

See the edits on my original post, I got it working by following the proper parent/child hierarchy.

Its good to know that I can also export them as FBX though, never tried unchecking the options myself.

I'm learning Blender (2.92.100.0) and animations, and so far I cannot get this to work, so I can only assume I'm doing something horribly wrong.

This is my blender project:

These are my export settings:

The steer.ksanim is only 6kb, and there is no requested driver_base_pos.knh generated, so I'm guessing the export script is not picking up the driver objects, but I'm not sure how to fix that. CM Showroom will show me the driver, but it doesn't move, and if I try to load an AC hotlapping session it errors out complaining about no driver model.

Can someone please point me in the proper direction for a resolution?

Thanks,

The 'export driver_base_pos' checkbox means it only creates that file using the current frame, no animation export.

 

[Esotic]

Thank you for the clarification. Any ideas why this is happening?

When I try moving the driver around in CM Showroom I get an error similar to one earlier in this thread:

EDIT: After starting over things are looking a bit more promising, but I'm pretty sure I'll find a way to screw it up.

same problem as everyone else, impossible to move the driver with CM, error message, is there any way to fix this?

Hi @Stereo , i'm trying to do a new animation for the driver's shifting using your rigged driver, i've done the 20 frames animation in blender (0 to 10 to reach shift lever and 10 to 20 to move it) and then i'm exporting the animation of those 20 frames selecting the full armature and in the exporter "Selected objects" and "fix driver:driver" but the animation looks wrong, from 0 to 10 is ok but then it's like 10 to 20 is somehow ultrafast or just broken and the hand just stay in the same spot and then comes back on the wheel... is there something i'm missing?

(i tried to select only the bones in pose mode and then in the exporter use "selected bones" but that will result in a completely broken animation, even for the steering, which instead comes out well if i select the full armature and then "selected objects")

Thanks!

(using Blender 3.0.1)

There's also timing in the driver3d.ini, I'm not sure exactly how it works offhand but it sets how quickly the hand goes from wheel to shifter and then time to do the shift and return (also rpm at which to pre-empt the first part of the movement).

yes i've tried tweaking those also but got no success....

I've also found out that now Blender can export the FBX with objects/meshes named like DRIVERRIVER, don't know if this can be useful.

Yeah, 2.80 changed that, so that setting's not as necessary.

so using your rigged driver what needs to be changed from "_" to ":" ? is there a reference to check?

 

[Stereo]

Everything that's DRIVER_DRIVER should be DRIVER:DRIVER

Why when I export something it's is it turned up 90 degrees?

I get this error when exporting the bone steering animation with these settings:

This makes the addon unusable.

 

[Stereo]

I haven't tested it on more current ones than 2.82, it's probably just Blender's api changing again.

 

[Stereo]

Actually looking at it, you're in Object Mode, "selected bones" probably only works in Pose Mode.

This seems to have fixed it, but I still have some problems with the driver being in the wrong position. I probably did something wrong, I'll figure it out on my own.

hi, I need help cause i installed the plugin and the export .ksanim isnt there, i tried at least 5 blender versions but didnt work

Hi @Stereo thank you for the great plugin, it worked great for the driver.
For some reason though, the animation for suspensions will result rotated 90 degrees forward over the X global axis. I don't really understand why it happens, I'm trying to rotate stuff but without any effect (and I wonder how is that even possible to be honest). With the FBX method it exports correctly, but I cannot animate more than one mesh with the same ksanim file.

My script doesn't account for the rotation that the fbx exporter does at the root level. The part that's set as "forward: -z forward. up: y up". Cause I would have to copy that entire section of the fbx exporter's settings, and then users would need to manually match them anyway.

Instead it just can't be used on top level objects. Anything animated needs a parent. Doing this (any convenient rotation on the parent) will work.
