Call of Duty bo3: ZM FX anim

What you need

• Tutorial used Maya 2018.3 x64bits - it may work with other version, untested
• CODTOOLS 1.0 from DTZxPorter (latest version [https://wiki.modme.co/wiki/apps/CODTools-(Autodesk-Maya-Exporter).html HERE)
• SeTools v4.0.0 from DTZxPorter
• Greyhound / Wraith from DTZxPorter/Scobalula

Rip Assets

• Rip the assets you need with Greyhound / Wraith: you need the smod Model in Maya format (example p7_fxanim_zm_island_mirg_trap_spores_mod_LOD0.ma) and you need the Fxanim(s), usually same name but _anim in Seanim format (Example: p7_fxanim_zm_island_mirg_trap_spores_1_anim.seanim)

Maya

• After installing SeTools + CODTools, open the Model .MA file in Maya
• Drag the .MEL to bind the model
• Select Joints + Mesh Root > Select > Select Hierarchy
• File > Export Selection > Select COD XMODEL_BIN > save file in correct BO3 folder after naming it as it was in .MA format
• Import first anim using SETools > Animation > Import SeAnim File
• Select Joints > Select Hierarchy
• File > Export Selection > Select CoD Siege Anim Source > save file in correct BO3 folder after naming it as it was in .seanim format
• Repeat last step if more anim but use SeTools > Clear scene in between importing animation

APE

• Create a new GDT or use existing one, create new Asset Xmodel
• Xmodel should be Rigid, select the .BIN you exported earlier
• Create the missing MTL & images (use Hydrax here for ease)
• Create a new Assets sanim
• Input the anim file .SIEGE_ANIM_SOURCE you exported earlier
• Input the Siege Model you created previously
• Set Loop if required
• Test to see if sanim now plays in APE Preview (this is the asset you drop in Radiant)

You are done!
