#EXPORTING FBX FROM 3DS MAX 8 TO BLENDER ZIP#

For the start of our animation we need to set the rotation of our helper to be at 0 (zero) degrees.

Select the b.r.main helper if not already selected.

You should be able to correct that by reloading the textures within Blender.

If the sphere is a pink/purple colour then that means Blender can't find the material textures. Open the ex1_example.blend Blender source file in Blender 2.8.The config.txt is complete but you will need to change the asset kuid to be one of your own.

The source file is in zip format so extract it into the project folder.

Download the source files from here: File:Ex1 export.zip.

On your computer, create a project folder called "anim_example_1" or whatever name suits you.

Your task is add the animation helper, add the rotation animation, export to FBX and import into Trainz. The sphere has a PBR material and a simple UV map. The Blender file consists of a sphere located at grid centre and at elevation 2 (metres). This example is a very basic animation of a sphere using an empty as the animation helper. Each example is provided with source files but only the first example is fully explained.

Lattices cannot be used since FBX doesn't recognise them. In Trainz you cannot see the animated bones but you can see the mesh.Īnimation helpers in Blender can be armatures or empties. When the parent bone moves in 3D space, the child mesh moves with it. Meshes are attached to bones in a parent-child relationship where the child is the mesh. A bone, for Trainz purposes, is an animated helper object using a "b.r." notation.

Trainz only recognises animation helper objects that it calls bones. In Blender you can animate meshes but that animation is not recognised by Trainz. This tutorial is for Trainz Build 4.6 and Blender 2.80. You should be familiar with Blender FBX export as described here HowTo/Export from Blender using FBX It is intended for new content creators or those more experienced who need to migrate from older versions of Blender and Trainz animation. This page describes a process for exporting animated meshes from Blender to the FBX file format.
