Hi, I have been trying to load a skeleton into RS3D (v4.5). This skeleton is described in a text file that lists relative x, y, z offsets between the joints in a tree structure. However, I get into trouble when I try to create skeletons with only one joint. Either I am doing something wrong, or this kind of skeletons are not allowed by RS3D. If they aren't allowed, how should I handle this kind of tree-like skeletons?
I attached a picture that shows a sample tree, the green lines are the various skeletons that my plugin creates. Skeleton 0 is the root skeleton, it has two sub-skeletons, number 1 and 5. Skeleton 1 has three sub-skeletons and skeleton 5 has two. Skeletons 0, 1 and 5 only have one joint each. The game engine uses the individual joint numbers, written in black, to manipulate the character model. Rotating joint 0 rotates the entire body, rotating joint 9 rotates the left arm and so on. As I understand it, when a skeleton reaches a joint with more than one branch, sub-skeletons has to be made, but what if the bone reaches such a joint immediately? Or is there some other way that I have missed? Regards, Fredrik Bergholtz
