OFP-Anim v0.98 by Dschulle for AEF-KAMPAGNE
-------------------------------------------


After you started the program, first load "mc tankistae2.p3d"(under \Demo Data). A tank crew soldier should be visible. Now go to "Settings" and select a color-file. To make parts of the model visible or to hide them click on the eye in the left tree view. The same is valid for the proxys. Now load your first animation "bezkoURI.rtm". Before you view it by pressing play, you might want to reduce the speed at which the animation can be previewed. Change the time to 30sec. (Attention: The time for the final animation is stored in the config later, the setting here is for preview only!)

If you plan to make a new person animation, I suggest that you first load the static state, which you want to start from, like the "bezstanisTAT.rtm" (under \Demo Data\static) for the normal Stand-position. Now change the animation and finally save it under a different name.

If you plan to create a new object-interacting Anim, like a new Driver position, go on like this:
First load a person p3d (like "mc tankistae2.p3d"), now go to the file menu and select "load Environment...". As example select "zsu.p3d", now you are asked which position you want the work on, select <proxy:zsucommanderout.01>. Finally you can load an existing anim you might want to change, like "zsucommanderoutsmrt.rtm".


General Hints:
**************

- No Modell visible: Modells are only correct displayed if either no animation or an animation which works with the modell is loaded. 
- Total Move: In this field you can enter how far the modell moves in x,y,z direction while animation is displayed. If [0,0,0] is entered, the modell will stay at one position. By clicking on the triangle you can activate and deactivate the Total Move effect for preview. (important to see if a looped animation is smooth)
- Allways think about the ground level. If no animation is loaded the modell is "burried" half in ground. So allways start to position the first frame on the ground or as mentioned before load a static anim at beginning.

I hope to finish a tut soon.
