Title: [QUESTION] [Leagion] -> [WotLk] WarGlaves Rotating
Post by: pallam on December 02, 2016, 10:22:39 pm

So, get a little question - how to create a two models of warglaves? For RightHand and for LeftHand?
We can get from Legion only RH model. I need to rotate it for LeftHand - what I need to use? (I don't wanna break a animations..)

Open it in a 3D editor, set its width scale to -1, export result back into M2. Use it as a left handed model for a left handed weapon. Simple to say, may be harder to do if weapon has particle effects and stuff like that.

Yup, Legion [Warglaves] has a particles system, and this do some problems

-Open your model in PyModelEditor (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=3846).
-Create a new global sequence (I usually make a sequence of "1234")
-Go to the base bone (bone0). Change the bone flag to "transformed".
-Go to rotation and create a new linear animation with the global sequence you just created:

Code: [Select]

0:{ 32767 , 32767 , -1 , -32767 }
1234:{ 32767 , 32767 , -1 , -32767 }
(Similar to what I did in THIS VIDEO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WRhMITtT48), but click on rotation instead of translation and put the rotation coords from above)

This method will keep particles and animations untouched.

Changes are not visible in pymodeleditor's viewport because it doesn't play animations. What you are doing is creating a rotation animation. If your model has multiple bones, bind all bones to the bone 0.

Just tested it, and works perfectly:

So... when i do it the items just get invisible ingame and i can't see them :(

Hi,
What does "bind all bones to the bone 0." mean ?
Should I put 'Parent:Bone0' on all other bones (bones 1+) ?
Because I'm having some issues... I rotated the model but my character does not hold it well in his hand :/ (see png)

Thanks
