Leadwerks model editor improvements

[bandrewk]

Hello,

I think the following points would make a good improvement to the model editor:

 

• Show bones
  

This is an major feature missing. I always have to switch to another tool to check where the bones are actually located. An option to show bones would be nice.

 

• "Extract Animation Sequence"
  

The tab order is broken in this window. This gets annoying when extracting multiple animation sequences.

In my opinion, the tab order should be: First Frame -> Last Frame -> OK -> Cancel

.

 

• "Resize Model"
  

When resizing a model to fit a specified size, it would be nice to see the resulting scaling from the original size in percentage.

 

• Model editor window
  

Having the model editor and Leadwerks stick together when minimizing is annoying. I would like to be able to minimize Leadwerks independently of the model editor.

 

• Animation sequences
  

The drop down list is good for a few sequences, once you start using 20-30+ this is pain. I would suggest a list for it, just as the bones are shown. Another thing missing here is re-ordering sequences.

+1 for visible bones and names, so much missing.

How can we parent something to a bone? (I would like to attach weapons to a model "attachment" bone) Is there a way to quickly check the names of the bones?

@Clavet Yes, entity:FindChild("bone_name") would be how you get a bone name and SetParent() would be how you attach things to bones.
