MDP Monkey 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 Hello - can anyone explain how to create a simple blender object with 2 or more animations, for exporting to babylon? I can get a basic animation to work, but more than 1 is a mystery. I can't find any tutorials that explain this. I just want a really simple cube that moves sideways and up and down, as separate animations. Then I'll be able to understand how to setup multiple animations in blender, ready to be used in babylon. Thanks 1 JackFalcon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFalcon 200 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 It takes trial and error... there was one called 'minimum bone'. It wasn't easy. Ping back with questions after reading that. Pls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDP Monkey 1 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 Hi, thanks for the input. It looks like there are multiple bugs with the process, and it's a lot trickier than I expected. It also forces you to use armatures, which seems unnecessary if you're not using bones. It seems a lot easier to just setup 1 animation in blender, export it, and split it into multiple animations manually. I'll go to the "Blender to babylon" Github page and beg them to export animations separately from the NLA tracks. That would make things very quick and simple!

JCPalmer 724 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 The exporter supports multiple actions exporting to a single animation(which is all a that BJS can really handle). However, as it exports these multiple animations, it also exports the range each action occupies in a BABYLON.AnimationRange. Just start a AnimationRange instead of an Animation directly, and you will never need to care where which magic number frames are the start and stop. Also, for non-armature actions ONLY, you can eliminate frames with can be interpolated & greatly reduce your export file. E.g. If a mesh moves from 0,0,0 to 10,0,30 linearly, only the start and stop frame need be in the animation. This DOES NOT apply to bone, though. 1 JackFalcon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
