I'm using 2.55, but it still appears broken.
Doesn't matter, was just wondering if it's me or the add-on.

I know the animations are packed in the .blend files, but i’m wondering if there’s a way to import an animation from an .anm file into a .blend.

Am i right in assuming the importer is currently broken?

It appears to do nothing, and throws an exception into Blender’s console.

Figured it out, and you're right. First time around, when i just exported a Bipedal Blob (TM) from Zbrush, it wasn't symmetrical. Second time around, when i thought i was being smart by eliminating Zbrush from the equation, by subdividing the mesh in Blender, Blender was creating quads from tris. Ta...

Just noticed there's an import/export addon for this in the Overgrowth BlenderScript folder...
Oh well.

My uneducated guess would be - somewhere in Data\Scripts\aschar.as

But i'm not sure it's adjustable, i think it's instakill.

Is the vertex count for a particular rig fixed or limited or something? When i import a mesh that has the same vertex count as the original bunny (e.g. take the original bunny and resculpt it) parent it to the rig, and export the OBJ and the PHXBN, everything’s fine. But when i import a completely n...

PS: It's not perfect, you might get crashes, errors, etc. But it does its job.

Having pre-packaged Blender as a modeling/rigging environment is nice and all, but... it's 2.55. The version of Blender that came just before a major API change, and before some add-ons were added as a standard. One of them being Corrective Shape Keys. Why would you need Corrective Shape Keys for ri...

Ah, gotcha.
Thanks for the info!

Thought something must've gone seriously wrong for the editor to change so much.
Too bad about the in-editor rigging tools, seeing the effects of the skeleton + animations on the mesh in-engine, in real time was kinda nice.

I’m sorry if this is a known/obvious thing (i haven’t been following Overgrowth’s development for more than a few years, and 1.0 caught me off guard), but when/how/why did the editor become ugly and lost a bunch of features? The ability to load and preview skeleton rigs has gone missing, as did in-e...
