Animation Exporting Thread

Hello there, So I had a bit of a dilemma and was hoping someone in the lovely ModDB community may be able to help. I have a few animations that I have to export from Maya 2008 as SMDs. Well to make a long story short, it doesn’t work. I usually get a message such as, “Bone A is under an invalid bone,” So I’ve checked the rig, done this and that, still nothing. I checked out a few tutorials, but the mostly refer to model and texture exporting, and usually start with a sentence that says something along the lines of, “SMDs suck.” So any helpful info would be appreciated: A Tidbit, a link, anything at this point would be cool with me.

Thanks for the help,

If you use the Prall exporter. Then just go into the animations tab and write in the frames of the animations. Then when you export the Model, the animations are exported as separate animation SMDs.
