Add-on Information

A Blender add-on to import and export Rise of Nations BigHuge3D mesh, UVs, skeleton, and BigHugeAnimation files.

In order to best use this add-on, you'll neeed to keep these tips in mind:

• Bones are connected to vertices through vertex groups.
• Each vertex can only be controlled by one bone (no blending).
• When animating, it is best to use 30 FPS.
• Bones should be animated using quaternion rotation.
• The file format does not support bone scaling.
• To export a mesh, select the object containing the mesh, and use the export BH3 function from the File menu.
• To import/export an animation, select the object containing the armature, then use the import/export BHA function from the File menu.
• Animations can only be applied to armatures with the same exact skeleton hierarchy as in the animation file.
