Auto cad animations

THOR2010 · 08-12-10, 00:12

can they be imported into wad merger's animation editor for Lara?

I somehow doubt it. Maybe you have to convert it to another file format first. I don't really know.

And off-topic, but isn't autocad for realistic projects and not the media/games?

i know autocad
and i think u cannot animate in autocad

u need to learn 3dsmax or something like blender
if u want to animated for videogames etc

You can animate in auto cad. My graphic communication class did it at high school. It was very basic level though lol

i know that
u have to create each and every frame
move the parts then save the frame
the u have to write a script for executing each frame
so its better to say it doesn't have it

but u can't create complex animations like for eg. human characters
but u can create simple one's like move object from pt A to pt B
no idea how it will be imported in to tr level
