PuFu 4600 Posted January 14, 2011 importing your weights from Maya is not possible atm (3ds/obj doesn't save that information). You will need to re-weight it in O2 (something i am not accustomed to unfortunately) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PuFu 4600 Posted January 15, 2011 right i understand what you mean now. I actually never tried that, so i am not sure what it takes to make it work. AFAIK, the lads using maya to create 3d content are not that many in this community, so i doubt you'll get your answers. Anyhow, would be good if you would post the error you got on trying to export the said weight script. PS: THIS is something that would be needed, but i doubt it will ever become available for BIS games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max power 21 Posted January 16, 2011 Okay, let me get this straight... you asked for a tutorial on how to use the weight scripts, necessitating someone to take the time to answer if they knew... now you are that person, and you're not posting the answers? Could you please take the time to write out what you have found, and contribute to the community knowledge base so future people like you can just use the search function to find the answer?

PuFu 4600 Posted January 25, 2011 is there a weight painting tutorial for oxygen 2? no there is not, unfortunately. _____ You can find the the same information (a bit clean up and restructured for easier read), as well as the download link for Reikso Maya Skeleton over at: ArmaStack.info all credits go towards the original OP.

STALKERGB 6 Posted January 28, 2011 is there a weight painting tutorial for oxygen 2? I'm gonna make a tutorial to go over the basic elements in painting weights in O2 at some point. Just highlighting the main areas and what they all do. Maunally weighting isn't fast but there is a few things you can do to speed it up so I'll probably stick that in too.
