#Bones and Blobs
5 messages in this thread
I've got a couple of problems:
Firstly I'm trying out the shareware version of the bones ipas routine. The
problem is when I try and use bones2.pxp in the 3D-Editor after I've used the
bones1.kxp in the keyframmer, 3D-Studio crashes with a memory protection fault
as soon as I click on the mesh object. I'm using release 3 at the moment but
will upgrade soon… Is it because I have a old version or is there a common
mistake which could be causing the problem? (The crash happens with every mesh
I try – even the Chevy example)
Secondly – Can anyone recomend any shareware blobby object creators? I've got
Blob Sculptor 2.0 which is good but the DXF files take ages to load in
3D-Studio and I was wondering if there are any alternatives..
Can anyone recommend any other shareware Ipas routines which are
available?

I had a similar problem and the creator downloaded an update, I think the
updated version is available. Also it is a little finicky with objects
consisting of multiple elements. If you are using the helper program to make
more precise boning, make sure all objects are clear of orignal bones settings.
Try simple objects first to see if it works, then try boning parts of your
meshes individually until the offending element causes it to crash, then
delete, recreate or boolean the element to the working mesh. THIS IS A GREAT
PROGRAM, REGISTER IT AND ENCOURAGE MORE DOGOODERS TO MAKE AFFORDABLE IPAS, AND
HOPEFULLY MAKE THE BIG GUYS PRICE THEIR STUFF MORE ACCESSIBLE.
Walter,
Thanks for the message, any idea what file is the update and where it
is?.. If I can get Bones working I'll certainly register, the example flc's
I've seen are extremely good and anyone willing to release good IPAS routines
CHEAPLY should be supported.

its there in the lib 3d files as bones2.zip im pretty sure that's it. The first
version worked kinda on my computer @ work but not @ all on my home one, the
fix helped but you still can run into crashes, save often @ remeber that if it
does crash ther is some kinda offending mesh object. I tried to bone a meshs of
a girl;) its a common mesh of a girl with boobs and hair kinda cartoonish like,
her eye brows and some seperate elements were causing it to crash once I
booleaned them together it worked. I'll be unemployed fri & plan to work on
3d studio like crazy to get samples to work in this field. So if you ever find
anything neat or figure soething out keep me in your file and keep in touch.
You want to see something neat, check out my varyani.zip file in animations i
didn't make the mesh but see what i did with it
once again, keep in touch, its good to know pwople in this area of work
