QUESTION Skinned / Animated model in a track

[CPPMeister]

Hi there,

Is there a way to import FBX that are skinned and play their animation in a track? Like people waving, or birds.
I know about the shader for flags and the AC_POBJECT prefix for physical objects, but that's not what I'm looking for obviously.

So, are keyframed animation or poses supported ?

Thanks you guys for any hints!

Good question ...

RTB has several models (guy with a flag) that have several positions, and it must be posible to animate them !!!

No, unfortunately AC doesn't support track animations of any kind.
The only thing it has #recently introduced is sort of a random translation movement one would use for a ballon, for example.

Iirc, they used that for the ufo on the Black Cat County ? Not sure.

It would be so amazing if we could add a little bit of life in our tracks.

The Donington Park track has a flying aircraft, and i believe the clouds also move

You're definitly right! It seems like there's a way to move objects programmatically.
I'm having a look to the files of the track you pointed out, and I've found this in one of the models.ini files:

[DYNAMIC_OBJECT_0]
PROBABILITY=100
MULT=1,1
FILE=350.kn5
POS_MODE=RANDOM
RND_POS_CENTER=2000,3500,-10000
RND_POS_RANGE=0,0,0
VEL_MODE=RANDOM
RND_VEL_BASE=50,0,240
RND_VEL_RANGE=0,0,0

It might be linked to the moving airplanes... I'll look into the target kn5 file as soon I've the time to do so.

The plane at Donington is just a 'dynamic object' that flies off into oblivion. It is the same as the blimp on my Riverside. All they can do is go in a straight line. The direction and location can be randomized some but in the end once the session has started they only move a single direction.

So essentially we could have a bunch of "cloud sprites" moving across the track during a session.

Kunos animated track features are non existent, they won't even provide a simple animated image sequence feature, I asked about this years ago and nothing has improved, dynamic object or flag shader and that's it.

In Nordschleife TouristFARTen there's a bunch of .csv files in the data folder with co-ordinates, haven't a clue what they control tho, thought it was a helicopter as they are named heli1, heli2, heli3 etc.

They are used for cameras.
