While talking to one of the Dev's I asked for a simple piece of paper with any of the Dev's autographs. I kind of thought maybe a page from a note book or a napkin.

This is what I got.

I offered to cover any cost for the shipping and such but Ioan never asked for that.
I'm keeping the shipping label also.

Very nice....now forward it on :cool:

I think you and Kpt. may be fighting over this.
:haha:

:hmmm:
It's also a poster I've never seen before. Did I miss this somewhere?

Only if it were a U-boat :)

That was super nice they sent you a signed poster! :yeah:

Oh yes it's possible!.. but I know the format and how to export/import.
I can also see exporting the animations from SH5 to SH4 to save time.
(Yes I do have some basic code to export the animations from SH5 in the works)

This is excellent news! :up:

It imports and exports the dae format as it is now and you can view things with it.
So a bit of work in Python would be all it takes.

;Yep. Noesis a good tool.

Once, a bit faced with the COLLADA models (.DAE)... and been useful to me one software (Assimp):
http://assimp.sourceforge.net/index.html

the product is notable for the fact that is written in C++, its structure is open for reading and flexible... In General, in documentations all detail written.
just look, maybe as a "addition in a box of tools"...
:salute:

Yes. Assimp is a great platform to work with.
:up:

I prefer Noesis as a prototype Tool though.
It doesn't require doing a build to see if you've got your ducks in the proper row.
:D

Being it's python scripting, once a basic plug-in is created anyone can edit it to improve it.

Yes. I dug it up again. For good reasons and some good news.
A 3Ds Max script that builds the exact biped SH4 uses will soon be released.
Animations for Secondary characters can be changed or new ones created.
Following close behind that? An export of new animations to an S3D importable MaxScript.
It's taken me, working alone, nearly 1 1/2 years to figure it all out.
:yep:

Interesting stuff, hex editing isn't very "user friendly" but it does a lot more than S3D. Wish I could learn more.

Thanks Jeff for continuing this work!

Is there any results?

Windows 10 decided to whack my early work for some odd reason.
I went back to Windows 7 and installed software to avoid the Windows 10's malware.

So mostly I'm starting from scratch.
It did give me time to learn some new software that can be used to adjust SH4 animations.

Watch for a simple example release soon.

The third year we watch closely... But there is still no clarity: exists or not to exists in our Universe the software that can be used to adjust the SH4 animation. :06:
