Skykam Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hello all, I'm fairly new to AM and am trying to work through the examples from Animation Master A Complete Guide (2006 edition). In chapter six starting around page 250/251 it starts taking about character rigging and goes through an example referencing the Captain character. Looking on the CD I have found several model files which could be of the captain, but none of them seem to load, I get an error that reads: [/i]Invalid Model File D:/pathToModel/Captain_v19.mdl So I am obviously having trouble with the example since I can't put bones in a model I can't load. Hs anyone else had this problem? Was using AM v 12.0n+ on Windows XP. Tia, -- kammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Not sure what to suggest other than the version you are using isn't the latest. Try downloading the latest update of v12. I think the latest is 12.0w. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Isn't that book done in V13....a different model format? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchur Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Isn't that book done in V13....a different model format? Mike As Kamikaze already said... are you sure your book and the examples of it are for v12? V13 has a new file-format and you cant load v13-files into v12. There is for example a chapter which will handle OpenEXR-Images but v12 doesnt have this feature... Maybe the others doesnt have that too? Did have a look at the CD in your file-browser manually? Was there a *.mdl-model with that name? *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dogg Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I just did a quick check. That model is indeed a v13 model. It won't open at all in v12.0w but does open in v13.0j. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
