I'm having trouble reading this skeleton file. It's not like the files I've seen before in recent titles but often in older ps2 titles. Help would be appreciated.

I know you're a skeleton expert and I can't offer a solution but I'd like to pick up this opportunity to build some kind of "getting a skeleton" tutorial (sooner or later

).

First we have about 278 bones here, right?
Then there's 564 x 64 bytes blocks, with a 12 bytes FF sequence preceded by a word.
These blocks seem to contain position and rotation (square sum of first 3 components=1).

I'd apply the positions of the first 278 blocks to the bones and check how it looks in a 3D app.

This is the log of the 564 words (highest number is 0x7A):

Hello skeleton experts

This is what I'm getting from this file:

139 bones, hierarchy, rotations, positions, scales - all in the first segment called "amo".

First goes hierarchy, with parent bone linked as an offset to parent bone.
Next a table of references to data, which are all linear anyway.
Then goes actual data: 4 floats in line: rotations, positions, scales, and some more data probably not needed.

Then bone names, repeated 2 times.

The following segment (RPT) is probably something for his pants clothstate.
And the last segment (BND) is maybe childs list and rotation matrices which I didn't check because I don't think you need it.

Posted: **Tue Aug 09, 2016 4:48 pm**

Ok, looks like you don't need this skeleton anymore. You could at least confirm that you read this.

I have no idea what kind of script is this, it would be better if you just tell me what data you getting is wrong. Hierarchy? Positions/rotations?

This is maxscript. Thanks to shakotay2 I found the problem was the hierarchy and parent transformation. Had to start from scratch and got it working.

Updted scricpt for the interested.

i need help fixing the skeletons/bones for the models in Quantum Break, when imported into Unreal and trying to retarget animations for the skeleton.
Lets just say the model becomes messed up and distorted and enlarged 1000x.

Here's the script from the lovely vfolin viewtopic.php?p=118375#p118375
