Modeling c5_galaxy probelm with animations (moved parts of model to proxy)

[alexboy 11]

My model is too big for it all being in one .p3d file, there are too many vertices/points/faces, so i had to split it into 4 .p3d models.

problem is, i cant have all of the skeletons/bones i want to animate under one .p3d file, is there a way that the main model can inherit the animations/skeletons/bones a part of that model that was "moved to proxy"?

here is my coding, been trying to inherit the landing_gear to the c5_galaxy

my model.cfg code is in spoiler

been trying to mess around with the inherit and other things, hasn't really ended any where...

simple recommendation: reduce polycount 60k is pushing it quite a bit

keep all the animated parts in the main p3d and proxy on the non-animated stuff like the body, etc.

[franze 196]

Anything that has to be a proxy and animated must be it's own proxy. IE your left aileron must be an independent proxy, your cargo hatch has to be in it's own proxy, etc. In this way you can keep your bones and animations in one skeleton. There is a 256 bone limit per skeleton however.

so what your saying is put the top ramp with its in its own proxy, or all the ramp pieces in one proxy? , thanks ill test around.

and when i put the proxy in the skeleton, do i type like == > proxy:C:\Users\Alexander\Desktop\inprogress c-5 galaxy\c5_galaxy\left_aileron","", ? in that proxy is the left aileron with an axis. or what, how do i call that proxy..?

[franze 196]

You don't put the proxy in the skeleton, you make a named selection bound to the proxy like any other part/bone. If you have "proxy:alexboy_c5\prox\leftaileron.p3d" then you need an additional selection bound to that proxy named "leftaileron" or whatever you want the bone to be named. That then becomes the bone you use in the config.

[alexboy 11]

thanks soo much franze, it works!!! im almost done with the plane now, just testing angles and everything.

Thanks for your quick and detailed replies. helped a lot
