League of Legends .SKN, .SKL, .ANM

Post by Nazaroff »

League of Legends (LoL :) ) is a 3D game with character models in SKN file format, SKL is skeletal format and ANM is animation file format. I saw some tools for this game for importing models, but without animation. For example, script for Blender for import of SKN, or you can see SKN in 3D Object Convertr. And no tools for import model with animation for 3ds max.

Here rendered screen with converted to OBJ SKN-models.

Can anybody make tool (script for MAX or plugin) to import animation? Here models from screen:

I hope this old tool to import animation from old format of this game could be useful - http://www.multiupload.com/B5MZ844TKB

While a Noesis plugin for the format would be fun, the format is already fully supported in Maya 2010/2011/2012 courtesy of ThiSpawn: http://forum.leaguecraft.com/index.php? ... 12-x86x64/

It imports the models with skeletal rigging intact you can also import the animations etc. Just use Maya and then transfer to 3DS Max if you need to.

If you can find it, there's an older tool for maya by renticletape, and he released it with the source. Then you can convert it into maxscript, like I did, but I didn't do bones or animation because I don't know how to yet.

I'm not sure if the format has change since I last made the script, which was near the start of this year.

Code: Select all

   for i = 1 to fixedLen do

Alright thanks. I will use your script for reference :)

EDIT: works for the provided samples. Guess I'll have to get the client to test some more.

Maybe I should actually start doing something about bones.

When I last downloaded and installed LoL, the champions,etc. was in "C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\game\HeroPak_client.zip".

They don't use zips anymore?

Hmm don't know all I see is a RADS folder with a bunch of different releases. Though, no zip archives.
Maybe I downloaded something different. I got it from

Hmm who knows I just went to their official forums to look around and found this

ttp://76.73.13.30/Files/League%20of%20Legends/Game/

Maybe I missed a step or something lol

I also just downloaded the "maps" files, which seems to contain map assets (.SCB files). Sort of looks like there might be something there though it's not the most obvious.

Now...no items? lol

Update 2014-11-28:

League of Legends importer for Blender version 249 and Python 26:
It supports:
- skn files - skinned meshes ( version 2 and 4 )
- anm files - animation files ( with header r3d2anmd version 3, 4 and 5 and without header r3d2anmd )

files with header "r3d2canm" are not. For it use viewtopic.php?p=101066#p101066
