The following message is the same as the previous message I send on the
twenty first of December... but with as X file listing. I decided to add
this listing to make it easier for you to perform the AnimationKey testing.
Hi
I'm currently learning X file data formatting. I created an animation frame
and mesh to be viewed by Directx mview.exe. Animations using Quaternion,
Scaling, and Positioning type keys work fine. But when I tried to animate
with the Transform key, nothing happens, it just ignore it. The following
AnimationKey is an exact of the data I used. I used random data in hopes to
see something changing. but nothing changed.
How do I get the Animated Transform Matrix to work?
Sincerely,
King
The following listing is a complete X file animator:
PS: don't forget to delete the HTML PRE tags. I'm hope this will preserve
white spaces.
