Converting MMD anims to TS3?

[blakegriplingph]

Can it be done? I'd like to have an LMFAO dance mod for the game, but so far the anims I wanted are only available for Skyrim and MMD.

[BloomsBase]

Most games use diffrent rigs and converting them is difficult i think.
So, not possible.

[umpa]

Please use queue to share

Sorry. But what' is the Queue ? (I have problem with english)

But my file is only for testing.

This is only a video for Sims 3 Custom Dance. Yes is possible.

Is that a MMD animation???
Can you show the original and explain how you converted the skeleton/bones?

[umpa]

Yes is from MMD

I can only with short animation (Blender need too time for Bake contrainst long Dance)

Original.

I make this with blender and Max

Miku VMD ->Oblivion Kf Animation file->Max with Anim Transfer Tool script->export in SMD,,,

I'm sorry to hijack this thread, but if I'm understanding correctly, you imported the original MMD animation into blender to convert to Sims 3? How were you able to keep the Sims 3 body for distorting? Do you mind making an idiot's guide tutorial on the steps for how to do this?

Sorry for all the questions, but I would love to learn how to do this. :bunny:

[blakegriplingph]

I actually attempted to convert the Skyrim port of that MMD dance mod with Niftools and some Havok utilities, but I found it a little too difficult since it does involve renaming bones and stuff. Oh, and can you do that for children and teenagers, too?

Anyway, here's one of them Party Rock videos in Skyrim:

It was also ported from the original MMD anim by MorososAp, which is why I asked as to the possibility of a TS3 version.

EDIT: There's a children's skeleton for Skyrim that you might use as a base, idk.

[BloomsBase]

That is very cool! :)

[blakegriplingph]

Yep, ditto with that. I'm also considering on having it converted to GTA-format .ifp animations, too.

[BloomsBase]

i have a awsome animation of a girl out Vietnam(Wargame) and was hoping to extract and convert it one day...

I'm sure everyone has the Sims 3 .blend files that cmomoney has made for us, but I will place them here for easy access:

There has yet to be a child .blend file, but there is a child base for Milkshape. Seeing that umpa has converted the MMD dance animations to Sims 3, I think it's very possible. :)

Also, everything about pmd to blender is on this thread:

I am so sorry, OM. Thank you so much for the link. :bunny:

[blakegriplingph]

Tested the anims on Molly - so far this is what I end up with:
http://i40.tinypic.com/1iodwi.jpg

I think it is quite possible to adapt this to a different age group, given that the original Skyrim dance anims work equally well on all ages as long as they use the same bone naming.

EDIT: Is this the anim transfer script that you're talking about, Umpa?
http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1746

[umpa]

Yes Is a modified version of this script but works only with Mocap and not MMD. (I not have permission to distribuite this version - Ask to author)

For animate the teen I need 3ds Max Body.

Sims 3 not support Long Animation and long MMD not work. I think

Example I have the Thriller but animation (2 minutes ) stop early and not complete the Loop.

You mean a Sims 3 skeleton/body? The dance works for teens with no major issues, it's just that a children's version is needed.

IDK if this is what you're asking, but here, go check it out:

[umpa]

What tool are you using to put this in-game?

The Animator Player by cmomoney

Animation stop at 1:30 but I'm not Sure.

In Smd Animation is 2:40 minutes.

I can share Thriller Smd if you want. Milkshape load this in a VERY long time..

Some MMD animation are 3 or 4 Minutes.. :faceslap:

Yes I need the Sims 3 skeleton/body for 3ds max Because when import from Smd I have BIG BONES and I can't do anithing.

Sorry my english :rofl:

[cmomoney]

The Animator Player by cmomoney

Animation stop at 1:30 but I'm not Sure.

In Smd Animation is 2:40 minutes.

It might need to be split up into parts and played as a sequence in the player.

[umpa]

It might need to be split up into parts and played as a sequence in the player.

This is a idea but I need to find the exact Time for cut the animation.

If Someone want to try here is the Thriller Smd (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23236174/Sims3/Sims3_Adult_Thriller_smd.7z)

Milkshape load this very Slow....

[blakegriplingph]

Can you try running this tool?
http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=452314

For some reason I can't get this bloody tool to run: http://chii.modthesims.info/getfile.php?file=1226052
Tried putting the .ms file on startup but nothing happens. I'm using 3DS Max 2010 x64.

Disregard the post above; I managed to export the ms3d as an FBX so that Max can open it. I did get some warnings, but the dance anims still worked when I shoved the LMFAO smd on it:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r70a3b9mphp4b5p

I'm no animator, so sorry if there are some eff-ups in what I tried to do.

[umpa]

There is problem with some bones in your file and animation transfer with error.

I have max 2010 and the script you linked not work ( I think is for 2011)

Ouch. Anyway, do you have any instant messenger accounts, like MSN, Skype or even Facebook? Might want to contact you from there.

EDIT: Have you tried the Blender version? http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=464646

For some reason I couldn't port the file into Max properly; while I did manage to import the FBX I made out of the blend file, the mesh in the FBX file had bad joint assignments.

EDIT2: Tried exporting the .blend project file as an OpenCOLLADA .dae, dunno if this one's alright for you since it doesn't look like it's properly scaled and oriented when I open it in Milkshape:

I have same problem with bone when I import Smd exported from Blender in Max

Yep, and they're not oriented correctly, too. Hey, can you contact me on Skype? I'll PM you my address if you want to so that we can sort this mess up.

[birdyfly]

blakegriplingph,

if you figure it out, do you mind updating this thread and letting us know how? I'm very interested in learning how to do this as well. :)

Umpa told me on Steam that he might upload the Max files he used for converting the sequences. A friend of his gave it to him, if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT: Yep, after a chat with him yesterday he finally managed to make a port for children:

I've been asking Umpa about this, but idk if he'll be making a tutorial some time.

That's OK. It might take a while for him to do so if he does, being that he's not that fluent in English.

[simzfreek89]

Count me in as someone who would love to know how to convert MMD files for Sims 3. I'm just starting in MMD and have an animation I'd love to try (as well as a machinima series I'm planning on making, so knowing how to do it would be extraordinary. :)

I'll be patiently (as much as I can at least) waiting. XD

[natsuko641]

Wait, so how do you import the VMD into Blender?

[BloomsBase]

Do you happen to know how to convert *.WAD files(GTA4) ?

[blakegriplingph]

Do you happen to know how to convert *.WAD files(GTA4) ?

Not at the moment. The guys at GTAForums especially haven't done much with animating GTA IV yet. .IFPs from San Andreas and earlier seem trivial enough, but they lack animated fingers.

[Kunai_TenTen]

This is beyond awesome, I have a lot of MMD dance files I'd like to try out, so hopefully someone can make a tutorial someday, instead of us just dumping all our requests on one person XDDD
