Blender exporter (v71) multiple skinning animations to json three.js

[j3zusla]

Hello,

I've spent hrs trying to get 2 skinning animations(actions) to export without success. The animations get overwitten one with the other. From my understanding when I select the mesh in blender prior exporting, blender thinks I want to use the mesh in the action and create a user for it, which overwrite all poses with the last pose. The end result is a json file that contains the same animation with 2 different names. I am using export v71 and blender v2.74 (also tested with v2.73)

Please help,

To do multiple exports of unique animations. The rig must be in "Rest" pose AND you must select "Rest" for skeletal animations on the export UI.

Has been working fine for me.

Good, I have it working using your method! I had to recreate the poses to make it work. I was using the in dev v71 that did not need that extra step of switching to Rest pose. Then, I migrated to the prod version exporter v71 to get the opacity to transparency warning off and got that issue.

I have to let you know that it is not intuitive to switch to Rest pose on blender and on the exporter, especially when you want the action poses. Without your help I would never have it figured out!

Thank you very much for all and more,
J3zusla

dev v71 that did not need that extra step

The r71 dev version you are referring to may have been an early build because throughout r71 dev there was massive amount of commits and changes just to the animation logic . r70 prod was released using Rest only export logic, which was merged from r66 and earlier exporter logic. r67 - r69 was switched to use Pose only, this "fix" broke exports for other users (based on how their scenes were setup). r71 prod included a massive change to allow those different users to use either Pose or Rest based exports.

not intuitive to switch to Rest pose on blender and on the exporter

No it isn't and isn't like that because we thought it would fun to annoy people. Blender animation exports is an ugly topic that we don't have figured out. What works for some doesn't work for others. And then there are those that neither of the 2 export options work for. This is a contributing factor to why I don't smile in my profile pictures.

By no mean I was trying to negate the hard work you are putting into this project. I was just trying to bring info from a user perspective, which I believe to be the ultimate goal of any app: to save time while using it!

If that stuff doesn't make you smile why are you doing it?

Haha!

The JSON Blender exporter has been removed with R93 (#14117).
