Blender - Babylon - Three Animated Object

[ian]

Ok I attach simple blender file which have 3 animated elevators. Each object(Elevator) have its own animation.

If I export it into babylon file positions of object is mixed (not currect positons of elevator).

What is Here a problem. Can't we export more than one animation (and use auto lounch animations) ?

I add actions suffix "-sAction" 

I have Quaternion animated Objects. Can not export this blender in babylon file. Some errors (Exporter ver 5.0.2)

Ver 4.6.1 exports without errors, but positions of each Elevator is same and in blender scene all Elevators get same postition. 

What is here a problem? 

Can anybody look this file.

I have reported the same issue here

For now, I use the following work-around:
- Make sure all animations start at frame 2.
- Add suffix to Actions
- in Babylon, iterate through all meshes in the scene and initiate animations from Frame1 to Frame2, like so:

 

for (var i = 0; i < meshes.length; i++) {
    var obj = meshes[i];
    if(obj.animations.length > 0) {
        scene.beginAnimation(obj, 1, 2);
    }

}

I do hope this gets fixed though as sometimes this creates weird jumps.

[ian]

no it doesn't work.
Export 4.6.1 mess up values in json data.

This work around doesn't work for me.

[ian]

too bugy for use.

I'll stop using animations until exporter and babylon will works as it should work.

There were quaternion issues in the multi-file, 5.0, code base.  I should probably set a mesh in one of my test scenes to it.  It exports now (not PR'ed yet).

Here was the log file:

Not all of your actions have mesh prefixes, so that might be an additional fix on your end.  Also, the auto animate property is not BJS animation range / Blender action specific.  It just runs all frames from the beginning.  Might be better to start your ranges yourself.  The order ranges get recorded is arbitrary (probably creation order), so there is no control.

@max123, you are not getting an actual exception being thrown (no question those are my problem).  Clearly it is not what you want, but I really do not have time determine if this is something the exporter does or there is problem in your scene.  Maybe, the first check if your geometry is coming through as expected with auto animate off.  @gryff, might you please vet this is a problem, and if you explain what it is.

Yes I think it's export problem.
I manualy edit babylon file (ok if range is exported out of 200 frames (this can be manualy repaired)

And all three animations works ok. BUT I HAVE TO MANUALY EDIT. IT IS TIME CONSUMING. I REALY DON'T KNOW WHY THERE MESS VALUES EXPORTED.

OK I'll test your latest exporter and see how it's working. But for now I will manually check babylon file and repair it.

But know things works well

I send blender file before I see I should add prefixes. But after I see about prefix, I add prefix but exporter 4.6.1 but nothing was better.
I'll wait for your new fix exporter 5.0.2. I need quaternion because of physcis (cannon).

 

We are on bonds

I attach manualy edited animations babylon file. You can see it on sandbox. This is what I want to achive with blender and exporter.

5.0.3 is out.  I consider this matter closed.

will give it a go tomorrow... too many beers tonight (it's bloody +32 in london!)

thanks for your efforts!

[JCPalmer]

max, I only fixed the quaternion exception being thrown. 

[gryff]

@JCPalmer : still want me to look at this?

@max123 : that be London Ontario as it was 32C here and will be 39C tomorrow afternoon. In which case we are neighbours mate

cheers, gryff

vau  
JCPalmer qul fix. It works. Yes JCPalmer thanx for your efforts.

Now values for locations (x,y,z) are correct.

My animations are from 1-200. I manually remove {"frame" which are greater than 200 (rotation, location, scale sections).
And remove ranges which are grater than 200. And repair "autoAnimateTo":1460 <-repare to 200,  And now animations are consistent.

All other things are OK,

Brilliant fix 
 

HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE (what I remove manually). I remove bolt text.

JCPalmer, Just Ask? 
It is difficult to find out for each object how many frames each object have for its animation? And correct ranges?

But still export-er 5.0.3 is much much better.
