• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Issues exporting skinned mesh object with P3D exporter

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with the Blender2P3D exporter when exporting skinned mesh.
I followed the tutorial on exporting skinned mesh using the Blender2FSX toolkit and assumed it would be the same as in the Blender2P3d toolkit.
Can someone tell me what the issue is? The attached blender file is the part that is bugging me...

HI F747fly!

The major problem that I can see is that you have 3 "Armature" modifiers applied to this object. Two of them do not tell the modifier it's parent. (See image below.)

That is my observation at just looking at your Blender file.

Also remember that you have to check the "Skinned Mesh" box in the exporter window. (See Image Below)

Thanks, Kris
 
That is pretty odd. The way I usually assign armatures is by doing empty weight parenting. It exports now but just when I thought I could sigh of relief the anim seems to be different in MCX than it is in Blender...o_O
EDIT: to be more precice, the export of the zip attached to the previous post does export the way it should but the one on my aircraft does not... Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I parent the armature to an object?
