Add this one to the list...

[x2495iiii]

of stuff in Alice that doesn't work.

You know the list of accepted filetypes Alice has for things you can import? I was experimenting with .amc and .asf files to try to bring motion capture into an Alice world. It seemed promising enough at first: the asf imported and created a skeleton model made of small cubes, and the amc file opened a popup asking "Which model shall I animate?" I told it to animate the skeleton model, and, you guessed it, an "unknown error" occurred. Big surprise there, eh? Anyway, I tried it on a randomGuy2 model and it let me define each of his subparts as respective parts of the skeleton, which gave me new hope until I finished the task and it threw the same exception.

Well...that was almost cool.

Well, you got me happy. Then deprerssed me. Must you be a jerk.

Hey zone, would you be willing to look into why there's an importer for an unsupported filetype?

Sweet, i know what you mean. Awesome discovery...i mean "cheese". You will know what i mean if you watch Im in the Band but.....Great cant wait to see what you make!

No offense but I doubt anyone watches that.
A: No one really watches disney channel after they're 12.
B: That show doesn't even look funny, just anoying.
All, I watxh is well I watch alot so to long of a list.
I personaly think the skeletons could be a good discovery. Think about it. You could still animate it in alice and vehicle the coresponding parts of the body to it. Then you could just switch the vehicle and another character will walk with no problem.

I'll add it to the list. (Of things to do.)

Hmm. Never heard of the formats before. Send me some error messages and lists and I'll check out where the error is occurring. Also, give me some files to try.

Hey gabe, if CMU has a mocap lab, why doesn't the importer for amc files work?

[zonedabone]

Where's the amc file?

Alice imports AMC files?
