I'm trying to export a character but when I compile the legs shins feet ect are all rotated 90 degrees but the chest head arms etc are normal. The animations are the standard male_shared and ive tried it with the combine animations aswell.

this is my qc:

refering to the phymodel.smd? I'm using the phymodel from the decompiled combine model and the rotations and everything are fine.

any ideas?
 
I did search and I saw that thread but at the end of it you conclude it by saying check remove top level bone and it should work perfectly. Thats what I am doing though but still have errors. It seems very odd that you should need to use the decompiled skeleton to export characters and the rig that loads in xsi doesnt work.
 
XSI's exporter is the problem.
 
Ok. i still dont see what that has to do with the link you posted about importing vertex weights.
 
did you decompiled another model from hl2 and grabbed out his rig and used it ?
 
yeah I've done that now and it worked. Its difficult to adjsut the weights in this fashion though I seem to remember It used to work fine with older versions of xsi. Thanks for the tip anyhow.
 
well this solution was also written in my other post :p next time read better

I just export the weightmap of another character from the same rig and import in onto my custom character ^^, editting some in the weightmaps and woalla :D
