This is wrong place to ask.

Motionstudio is not Caligari product. Primitive Itch has website and forum where this question would be answered by developer of Motionstudio proper.

As a note, V-Ray renders from the new data structures in tS7, which are most likely not being updated by Motion Studio (written by third party developer, Primitive Itch, before trueSpace7 existed).


You would need to convert Motion Studio animation into regular tS animation in some way - ie generate regular keyframes on the old data structures, which could then be converted by trueSpace7 over to the new data structures. However trueSpace7 won't be able to convert from Motion Studio's own format into the new data structures by itself, and that means the Motion Studio animations will not appear in V-Ray renders (or in the new real-time view).


There is nothing Caligari can do regarding this, as we cannot develop or support third party applications. Primitive Itch has pretty much closed down, but you can try and contact them and see if there is any plan to update Motion Studio for trueSpace7.


Of course the plan is that the animation capabilities in trueSpace7.5 will make external plugins unnecessary anyway. That's where our focus is going, on making our new trueSpace7.5 tools so good that you won't need or even want to be using Motion Studio anyway :)


HTH!

Tom


EDIT - PS that is not because Motion Studio is not a good plugin, which it is; just that we plan on elevating the in-built tools to such a level that they would definitely equal what people were using Motion Studio to do.

Hi all..


Norm: I know its not a develop from Caligari team.. but first Primitive Itch stop developing ts plugins. Now are totaly free, and thinking Ts are loosing several plugin developers and its a good idea try to support it on this new version of TS.. I know caligari cant edit the source code of motion studio.. but yes can do something to support it over vray, because over lightworks works excelent.. Or maybe we must wait Ts7.5 to make animation characters like Motion studio. ;)


TomG: thanks for the info... ;)


Frank: Thanks you very much... im gonna try.. i think its only past the moves to ts keyframes... :D
