The tome of animation

[Statyk]

Where is the "track bar slider" apparently underneath the track bar? I can't find what you're talking about and i have one slide too much, which will leave an unnatural pause...
And how do you export the animation for use in the model editor? either you didn't add that step, or I'm doing something wrong >>

I've added a picture into the first post showing the track bar and the slider. As for exporting an animation:
1. Opencollada (see model guide)
2. Export options (see model guide) + tick the animation box
3. Have one file which is the model - idle animation/no animation
4. After opening that file (point 3) load the animation into it (all done in ModelView)

If people would like a section on working with the ModelEditor and adding animations I could add that to the guide :>

Model Editor.log, I'm not sure what to do with this.
I've done idle animation for monster and when I try to add animation to it, the editor crashes

I have never encountered this type of error (I think). If you would be willing to upload the model+animation I could take a look at it.

I'll pm the link when I'm uploaded them... The files are on my laptop. (I'm using desktop for a while)

In retrospect the most likely issue with the model is that I've overstepped the amount of vertices bound to a bone :>
