Anim8or Community

For general game design I like PHP. It's easy to program and has a really powerful dictionary data type that makes game graph design easy. Since the syntax is basically C, the programs can be ported if necessary, although that's some work because the data class doesn't exist in C. Still, I have done it, written a game in PHP and moved it to C++.

To anyone wondering why I want to be able to export and import to Anim8or: I am new to this application and I don't know all it's capabilities and features but I am pretty sure it doesn't do everything I want to do. Imagine a figure of some sort, a stick person, a robot or some other character that I want to move around in a natural looking way. I think this application will create the 3D character but I want to add the 4th dimension so I want to export the character to my own program that understands kinematics, spacial movements, joint flexure and such. For example to move an arm I must know where the shoulder joint is. That determines the position of the elbow which determines the position of the wrist, etc. I don't want to manually compute all the movements, I want a program to compute a complete sequence. Does this explain why I want to export objects to g++?

Okay, I just tried this and the compile failed with "excess elements in aggregate initializer" on the g++ compiler. The problem appears to be an extra field in the .c file not defined in Anim8orExport.h. There seem to be two errors here, one is a field in Anim8orMaterial called Environment Texture, of type char * and there's another at the aggregate level I haven't found yet. Clearly the .h file does not reflect the same version as the .c.
