Hi
I've admired your new heli animation on takeoff and landing and wondered how its done properly.
I am able to build the animation into my models but what I need help with (please) is how to do the XML and where to attach it to in the model. On a specific part or the top level dummy or something else entirely.
I've tried going through the SDK and it is as clear as mud. I can code but I need a base to start learning from and the SDK is definitely not the place to be. Google and Bing have been searched to death and although they come up with code examples and bits of knowledge, they also assume I know the basics, which I freely admit at the moment, I do not.
How does the XML know where in the animation to start the effect? e.g. If the blades have started running and I want to lessen the blade droop?
Any help would be appreciated, preferably an idiots guide tutorial just to get me started. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssse.
(Please don't suggest reading the SDK as it hasn't helped )
Thanks
