The original code was written primarily for physical simulation, and not primarily for motion Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:31:30 GMT Joel Horne http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/219 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/219 Well the problem is that without this axis information, the bone rotation is too global. This may just be a design decision but for me it is inconvenient.

However, the data should convert Tue, 09 Jun 2009 10:43:05 GMT Joel Horne http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/217 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/217 Hi Ari, I appreciate that it is difficult for you to provide full support. I'm continuing to try to automatically create a properly setup character based on an Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:43:44 GMT shapiroari http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/216 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/216 Hi Joel, Thanks for the code fixes. These days I work full time for a visual effects company (Rhythm & Hues) and can only work on DANCE outside of work when I Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:50:45 GMT Joel Horne http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/215 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/215 Hi Ari, I am currently evaluating DANCE to see if I can use it for my research project, so I'm looking for more permanent solutions. It certainly has a lot of Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:36:37 GMT shapiroari http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/214 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/214 For the problem with cube orientation, you can try selecting the particular piece of geometry (which is named the same as the bone) and then use 'Rotate X/Y/Z' Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:29:22 GMT Joel Horne http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/213 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/213 Hello, I am interested in using dance to create controllers that track MoCap data. To do this, I want to generate geometry for the character based on the MoCap Tue, 12 May 2009 21:59:58 GMT Ari Shapiro http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/212 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/212 Hi Muniraj, The physics simulator is from the Open Dynamics Engine - you can read about the algorithm and its implementation on www.ode.org. Joint limits are Sun, 10 May 2009 14:42:20 GMT Muniraj http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/211 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/211 can u please tell me the Technique or algorithm used in the ragdoll simulation. Is featherstone's algorithm used in the simulation of ragdoll? can u give me Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:55:24 GMT Ari Shapiro http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/210 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/210 ...

I am trying to export a model (which has complex bone structures so very difficult to bind to bones by manual translation) with weights from Maya and Thu, 23 Apr 2009 04:20:06 GMT yejink76 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/208 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/208 Is "identify -list format" a python command? Anyway, this happens for all other file formats including .jpg and .png. It seems ImageMagick is having a Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:21:38 GMT Ari Shapiro http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/207 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dancedev/message/207 When you enter the command: identify -list format do you see GIF as a valid format? Does this only happen for .gif files or for others as well? (say, .jpg)
