WOW This is great. Hopefully ill get some time to try this out asap.

Thank you all!!! My Students will be very grateful for this.

My Students are going to have it easy next year then. Thank you so much for everything. Really appreciate it all.

I know you can do it through Blender too, but i found it difficult getting the OGRE exporter working. It just didn't work for me from Blender.

It's a massive pity there are no other tutorials or help with this. OpenSpace3D is a brilliant program, but lacks these tutorials and help for anyone interested in it. Any tutorials on Youtube are really old too.

If you do find a work around please post it here, I'd appreciate that loads.

Hi Reberto,

I posted a solution that i found to work.
Here is my workflow if anyone else needs a helping hand.

This is for using Mixamo characters and the animations to OpenSpace3D - You can also rig your own Character in Mixamo and use the animations too.  My Students love it. Was almost going to give up on OpenSpace3D

01. Export a t-pose from mixamo (No naimations)
02. export animations from mixamo - With Skins (New Blank Project)
03. import t-pose to 3ds max - (New Blank Project)
04. export t-pose to fbx with embed media checked - To bake the textures
05. import animation from mixamo ( one at a time and in Animations Tab - Save Animation (New Blank Project)  )
06. save animation to new folder - do for all animations
07. import new baked fbx t-pose of the Character (New Blank Project)
08. Using motion mixer in 3Ds Max - add the exported animation files into the timeline
09. click the stopwatch in motion mixer to extend the timeline to fit all the animations
10. export as ogre
11. save to openspce3d folder
12. import as scene

I hope this helps others. Its great as you can use the Animation Switcher with multiple trigger images.
The only problem now is that Mixamo seems to  have some jumpy keyframes and the Character isn't really rooted. If that was fixed then this would be a perfect workflow for students using free software, as they get 3Ds Max free for as long as they are students.

Hi, and thanks for your reply.

I've emailed you a few times, not sure if they are getting through, but i can't see your email address and there is no option to attach a file.

We are just looking to create something similar to the Andy model with his accompanying aminations. My students were using Mixamo for this. Again any fbx we export from mixamo or even from blender just isn't working.

If there is a workflow for this we would greatly appreciate any help.
