Reality Factory

Thank you for the replies everyone, they are appreciated. However, the export problem has nothing to do with the size or detail of the mesh, because as I said I can export it to BDY just fine as long as all vertices are assigned to any one joint. Therefore the mesh itself isn't freezing the process....

I have successfully exported several models from Milkshape as BDY files, and then converted them into ACT files through Actor Studio, and they have shown up correctly in Actor Viewer. I do it by having a mesh in Milkshape, then adding one single joint/bone, then using the joint tool to assign all ve...

Thank you very much for your reply and attempt to help. It is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, so far I am not having any luck. I don't even know how to "select the mesh". I *think* I have it selected since it is the only thing on the screen, and I hit select all, but I'm not sure. Next...

Number of meshes: 0!!!!!!!!! Number of meshes: 0!!!!!!!!! Number of meshes: 0!!!!!!!!! That's all I get, every time, no matter what I try!! NFO 2.0 Material List Number of Materials = 0 Bone List Number of Bones = 0 Node Transform Matrix List Number of Nodes = 0 Mesh List Number of meshes = 0 Every ...

Okay, at this point I don't think I should even worry about bones or vertices as I'm not trying to export an animation YET. I'd just be happy getting the script to even detect and acknowledge the existence of the model on screen, instead of saying "Number of meshes: 0" every time. My chara...

Okay, looks like I could use a little help with the conversion process. I have read all the docs, readme's and threads on this subject, but cannot figure it out. I am using Poser as my 3D modelling program. I got Poser to export the model as a 3ds file no problem, and imported that into Gmax just as...

EDIT: I moved my follow-up question here to the Modeller's Corner as it seemed to belong there more. I am having some difficulty using Gmax to export an .Act file.

Thank for your reply, and I'm glad to hear that I can probably accomplish what I'm after using RF. What you describe sounds right in terms of having a scripted character who pulls off moves/animations in response to keystrokes by the player. It's unfortunate for me that the scripting language seems ...

Hi, I'm completely new here and just learning Reality Factory. Most of the threads I've seen deal with using RF to create first person shooters or 3rd person action-adventure games, and combat is always discussed in terms of ranged weapons. I'm wondering though if it's possible to create a fighting-...
