Wraith Archon - Broken Animations

Thread By: TrumpetPro2002
I'm having issues with animations for most games. COD IW and BO2 both have "broken" animations when exported. They play too quickly, and the speed changes as time goes on (or "speed-stutters"). Any help would be appreciated. Exported from Wraith Archon, imported following this ( http://phabricator.aviacreations.com/w/models_and_animation/importing_an_animation_for_call_of_duty/ ) tutorial.

You need to give more information. Examples of animations you're attempting to use, at the very least.

All of them have the same effect, but the ones I want most are the animations when you skydive in the beginning of IW.

By broken do you mean the mesh is being stretched?
Or another issue might be that IW and Bo3 use different bone structures for players (idk i never dealt with IW) and the anims aren't compatible.

When I say "broken", I'm referring to the speed issue. The movements themselves are fine, it just speeds up and slows down randomly, and isn't entirely consistent (the body might be at just above normal speed at one point, while the face is going haywire).

Check your playback settings, this sounds like a Maya issue, rather than a broken animation issue.

Oh OK. I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance (-:

I forgot about this other issue. All first-person models have the same effect when you import an animation. Could be a scale issue. Probably unrelated, but all the models import sideways (just dragged on the .ma file and the .mel script).

Here's some screenshots:

EDIT: Here's the same scene with Sipe's body model (wasn't expecting it to work):

EDIT 2: Turns out there's an updated SEAnim importer (using this one: https://github.com/dtzxporter/SETools )

EDIT 3: Didn't help. Anyway, the main issue now is the first person animation stretching. Happened with both the intro player (Wolf)'s arms, and the basic viewarms_iw7 rig.

EDIT 4: Should've been more clear. I'm not trying to port animations from IW to BO3, I'm trying to use IW animations in fan films, or recreations of scenes in other software. Not using a conversion rig because I need the original arms.
