Resident Evil 5 animations (test tool)
Usage: Re5Anims <LMT name> <MOD name>
Or you can just drop LMT file onto the tool. If you do that, or use only 1 parameter, it will search for file named model.mod for a model. Incorrect model will produce broken animations.
To attach animations to model, it must have bones named like bone0, bone1, etc. I used latest NOESIS export to FBX. You must create IK constraints connecting right toe to "atarget1" bone, left toe to "atarget2", with chain length 3, both position and rotation. So IK chain includes: toe, heel, knee. No idea how its done in maya or max, but hopefully the same as in blender.
Consider it a test tool, because not optimized, just interpolates all keys to all frames (which leads to bigger files), also many things are not supported:
- no scale. Some animations use scales, maybe muscle work, some monster fx, etc
- only one type of IK (legs). Some anims have hands IK, these will NOT work correctly, but I've only seen this is static poses
- no tag bones exported. These are for weapons or some other purposes.
I was also thinking about an option to export all motions as separate files. Let me know if will be useful.

Re: Resident Evil animations
This is on my Noesis todo list, but it's way down there below the Souls games under the "other people already did it" category. It's been on there for years, though, and I don't remember at all what gave me the notion that it was already done, and there are no format specs in my usual storage places. Do post the specs if you find them somewhere. (I don't have a valid Max license anymore myself, so can't test the above tool)

Note that these specs don't exactly corresppond to what I see in RE5 .lmt files. MotionInfo is different, and some types too.Gh0stBlade wrote:PMed

Re: Resident Evil animations
DMC4Motion works, BUT its not doing bone retarget. Model is exported from Noesis.
I tested it on DMC4 (original one), models with only one bone works fine.
I also tested it on Lost Planet but it seems Lost Planet have some new block types, so its not working, didn't tested it for RE5 yet.

Re: Resident Evil animations
When I use Dmc4Motion on Mod2Max it works.
Dmc4Motion also converts ONLY some blocks from LMT.

Re: Resident Evil animations
I wouldn't count on dmc4motion, program was still in development, but it never got into some usefull stage.
Generated scripts are missing some vital parts, especially positions, global transformations and maybye more.
To successfully do the thing, first you need to import model script (it can take quite long, depends on size of generated ms), and then only ONE animation.

Re: Resident Evil animations
You need to use Mod2Max.exe to get propper model for animations to work.

What is different more specifically? That's strange cause those structs were directly obtained from the RE5 debugging symbols and is exactly what Capcom used. I also wrote a tool to read the animations based off this information which is where I quickly pulled them from. I "may" have made some small alterations but I'll get round to dumping the unaltered structs again.
Cheers.

Correct.PredatorCZ wrote:You mean like .pdb files? Becouse I know only theese files have those informations.Gh0stBlade wrote: RE5 debugging symbols
Anyway, it looks like I did alter the structs slightly and/or mixed up the facial anim structs with non-face anim structs. It looks like Capcom have two separate animation formats. One for face.lmt the rest for the remaining animations. I'll re-send out the unaltered structs.
Cheers.
