WIP: Mikoto animation to TRLE animation

Version: 1.0
Status: Released



In my series of posts about animating with Mikoto I created the following animation from a .bvh file.



I was finally able to convert a Mikoto Motion file (*.mkm) to Wadmerger Animation Editor’s *.trw format.



The key steps were:

• to convert each quaternion in the .mkm so they were relative to an initial pose as discussed previously. [link]
• convert the quaternion to Euler angles in YXZ order (rotating axes)
• Negate the X and Y angles
• convert the angles to range 0 to 1024
• order the bones to match the mesh order of the TRLE model

And the program:

You must create a motion for the default pose in Mikoto.
The initial pose must be the first keyframe in that motion.
