Lifeforms help
2 messages in this thread
I have the Lifeforms 1.0.1 software. I am having problems in exporting to
swivel 3D 2.0 Pro. Whenever I use the simple skeleton map supplied with the
product and I try to open the command file for the simple skeleton in the
swivel I get a "bad argument for FindObject" error. Any suggestions? Thanks
Mic.
Hi Michele,
Should be working fine together…do you have the same model(s) already
imported within Swivel? Are you able to import motion for any of the other
models?
The "bad argument for FindObject" error means that the SwivelScript has motion
instructions for a piece of geometry, such as "l_thigh_1", but that it isn't
finding any geometry by that name within the Swivel file. The joint map file
will convert the names of the LifeForms body parts into the body parts for the
particular model you're using.
I checked through the Swivel model using the "Find" command, and the names for
the Simple Skeleton model pieces match the names in the Joint Map, the
CommandScript, and also in the 3DWorks script. Does the error message tell you
which line the "findObject" command fails? Opening up the script in the text
editor can then tell us exactly where the problem is.
I think we can get this working…what exactly have you tried so far?
