Are you for real? What’s next? Burning books and non-compliant citizens, huh? Please describe Kant’s categoric imperative or Virginia Woolf’s stream of consciousness by way of an animation, and more effectively so. Good luck with that.

You can export Rhino models in OBJ, STL, or FBX format to Blender and animate the models in Blender. Blender is free. Example of Blender animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN0zPOpADL4

Also a great example of the power of the Cycles engine used in the Rhino 6 Raytraced viewport mode :slight_smile:

Character Creator is part of iClone 7 animation program, which costs only $119: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0PbNMZqG30

Can Bongo 3 match the price and performance of iClone 7?

An other funny question from me - will iClone 7 match the performance of Bongo 2? :wink:
iClone and Bongo are totally different things. Interesting would be to import animated character FBX to Bongo.

33

Bongo doesn’t support FBX animations.

34

I mean it as a wish for Bongo 3. :wink:

35

That’s on the list as BO-2220.

36

@wim that issue just gives me a 404 page. Which is very disappointing, since lack of support for skeletons+animation export makes Bongo feel deeply incomplete.

37

The link works fine for me.
Try https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/BO-2220

38

Hi Sam - it gives you a 404 because it’s marked to be visible to developers only. I’ll ask around if that can be opened to the public.

39

I think I fixed it.:thinking:

Thanks for opening that ticket up @wim & @Luc. I don’t suppose there is a matching one for “export” of skeleton & animation data. I noticed that that ticket is for reading FBX and getting the data in from other programs. While this will be great, I’m more concerned with the Rhino -> Bongo -> Something Else workflow, is that a separate ticket or an undocumented aspect of reading (since writing and reading a format do tend to go hand in hand :wink: )

Hi @sam5 - exporting Bongo animation information is on the list:

Thanks!
