Grande nestooooor! no tenés idea lo que aprendí con tus tutoriales. Si estoy con este laburo es gracias a vos y tu videito del Paraná lloviendo. (ya te vas a llevar la comisión ja)

BUEEEENO, me pase muchas horas leyendo en foros... ya cumplí mi cuota de lectura anual.

Les paso los retazos y avances a los que llegué y me voy a dormir que no doy más.

Les pido disculpas que está en inglés.

Acá te explica como funcionan los objetos animados de la galería, un quilombo

Nota a: Arthur es el ingeniero de sistemas de Lumion o algo asi
Nota b: Te expica todo para alguien que entiende, yo no entiendo nada! A algún intrépido animador que entienda esto le va a servir para fabricarnos nuestras personitas.

"Well, Artur's feasibility study of FBX point cache import is looking promising so far.

Disclaimer: this is no guarantee that it will be possible to import FBX point cache animations in future versions of Lumion, so please don't promise your clients anything just yet

A point cache is basically a file containing the positions of all the vertices of your object. When you animate the object, the point cache file will contain snapshots of the vertex positions for all the animation frames. The advantage is that any vertex animation can be saved, regardless of how it was made. So in 3DS Max, you could add any combination of bones and modifiers - all that matters to the point cache function is the position of the vertices of the object.

In Lumion, the point cache file is then imported and all the vertex positions are stored in a special texture (XYZ positions -> RGB).

That way you can animate the character using the GPU of the graphics card, and as far as I know, this is currently the fastest way to play vertex animations of low/medium-polygon objects (ie, much faster than conventional bone animations).

There are however some limitations.

Since the vertex positions for each frame of the animation are stored in the pixels of a texture, you could end up using a lot of graphics card memory if you import a model with many vertices and a lot of animation frames.

Example:
3D character with 5,000 vertices x 8 seconds animation x 25 frames
= 1,000,000 pixels on the texture

In other words, this animation would require almost the equivalent of a 1024x1024 texture of graphics card memory, in addition to the other texture(s) that the 3D character uses.

As you can see, this technique works best for short animations of low/medium-polygon models, but perhaps this would be sufficient for most purposes (although I think Poser users would really struggle unless there's a way to reduce the polygon count dramatically)."

Acá te explican cómo hacen ellos para hacer las animaciones. (Qué programas usan)

Hi A2Plus, the short answer is that you can't import animated 3D people in Lumion, but it should be possible to import static 3D people in various poses.

Axyz Design offer many Arabic 3D people, and you can also download demo models to verify that they will fit your workflow.

The long answer is that all of our animated 3D people/animals in Lumion rely on our very arcane in-house importer which requires a custom version of Quest3D and other software, e.g. PointOven. This procedure is rather complex and error-prone and for that reason it is not available to the public.

That being said, there is a somewhat labour-intensive workaround which might be an option for distant animated models (this requires 3DS Max and relies on simple move/rotate/scale animations):

PROBLEMA! ese link está caído... parece un chiste!

Supongo que ese método de animación se refiere a exportar cada alita del murciélago por separado, darle a cada uno un movimiento simple y hacer que en lumion vayan juntos... queda muy choto.

MIREN ESTO

MIRALO POSTA

Finalmente llegué a un chavón que lo logró. Hice el camino largo y difícil, todo por no mirar lo que me mandó nestor en el anterior post con velocidad. Hubiera sido más simple pero me hubiera quedado con varias dudas.

Este tipo que se llama Jérôme Gonsolin y en los foros de Lumion "Gonzohot" es un capo y es un garca. Eso de la inteligencia colectiva no lo entiende muy bien porque quiere COBRAR para transformarnos las animaciones y no revelar el "secreto". No estoy de acuerdo.

Conclusión si la hay:

Aparentemente hay 2 maneras. 1 la de convertir una animación de 3dmax en algo re loco (y que no se sabe cómo) que pesa un montón de espacio y se tarda mucho en hacer, además de pagar por plugins que no se consiguen "taringueados"
Terminás teniendo un muñequito haciendo lo que quieras, si le pagas 15 euros al garcón garzón gonzón.

Otra manera, es la que paso nestor ahí arriba. Para mí es la que se
