BVH Animation

[syamada37]

I noticed that when i try to animate a character object in Overgrowth, it doesn't work, please help!!!
I also noticed that you can drag and pick up any character object once they have a skeleton built on them. Is this only possible for the older alphas, or does this work on the latest alpha?

I now see that animation is disabled until further noticed, thx.

I merged your two topics, which is a better way to let people realize you found your solution, as opposed to two random threads.

Glad you found out about the animation system, it has disabled for over a year, and probably won't make a come back...

Thx Anton, can't wait to see the next episode!

I was going to ask the same question... why was it disabled? I joined the alpha one month ago so I never got to try it.

It never worked as well as they wanted, and they realized to make it work how it should would take a lot of extraneous time. At that point an update to Blender really made everything they wanted possible in a cross platform, free application. They figured it was better to use that instead. After a couple weeks, some other tech broke the animation system altogether, and they have no specific plans to re-implement it.

(There may be better thoughts from people on this topic, in particular Endoperez has put it very well, and in about 10 different threads if you search the SPF...)

I usually just link to the blog post where they first mention that they're moving to Blender, and tell pretty much the same things you just said.
