Should I have any problems attaching a model mesh such as this with bones for animation in TS. Should be in a .obj format I believe as I will be exporting from Hexagon 2 to use in TS. Took me three hours to make this... yeesh. (By the way Hex 2 is proving to be a usefull learning tool for me since I've never modeled before now and don't have access to a computer decent enough to run TS over here. Can't wait to combine these tools.:jumpy: ) Second question is when I finally do get to my TS again. I have a slight problem when running it and getting some hang ups or general slow functioning in TS7. I am going to call it as my Graphics card... Nvidia Geforce 5950...drivers version i forget its like 81.2x i think. At any rate my poor little card is getting a little old and I believe it may be causeing overall slugishness do to the players reliance on the Vid card now. That is actually another matter. The QUESTION is can I simply use TS6.6 right now and alleviate a lot of this slowness until I have the opportunity to update the card. __>>> Other hardware specs for reference: AMD Athlon 64 FX 51 cpu,(Old now.. getting a FX60 later:) ),2Gigs of ram 3200 DDR,Vid card see Above^,all drivers current as of implimentation of TS7. Anyway lets see if I can attach the little pictures..... Post by frootee // Jun 6, 2006, 3:26pm frootee Total Posts: 2667 hey there freaky42. Looks cool. I got hexagon2 during that 1.99 special awhile back but have not used it yet. But, if you want a killer price on a killer video card, check out newegg.com. I have gotten a couple excellent cards from them in the past year, really cheap. For example, I got an ATI X1600 Pro, with 256 MB memory, for $115, plus $4 shipping and handling. Not too bad. They are probably cheaper by now. The other card was a nvidia 6600. Works okay, but the ATI X1600 Pro works better with ts7. HTH!

Can't remember if there were any issues though... it's been a while. It should work in 6.6, but unless I'm misreading the photos the poly count looks pretty heavy, so you might find feedback a little slow while manipulating. Best bet: try it out. Post by Shike // Jun 7, 2006, 12:38am Shike Total Posts: 511 Have to agree with rotcorp that it looks like a heavy mesh, especially if you intend to animate it...how many polygons do you have in that arm? :confused: Ah, unless you've put the bones and animation on a low-poly mesh and this is the higher subdivision levels... In my current project I have a 500'000 polygon object which I can swing around smoothly with textures and normal maps in the player....not sure how well it would animate though. :rolleyes:
