Hello, I'm super interested in exporting animated models from SFM to Blender, but the positioning is always at 0 instead of walking around as it was animated in SFM. -

In Source Filmmaker, every model is given an extra "root bone" called "rootTransform". The Blender equivalent would be the armature object's position.

If you want to make a "quick and dirty" workaround, you could either...
- In Blender, add a new bone at 0,0,0 called "rootTransform" and parent the pelvis/other root bone to it before importing the animation, or...
- In Source Filmmaker, lock the pelvis/other root bone, use the procedural "Playhead" preset on the "rootTransform" bone to "transfer" its animation to the pelvis/other root bone (because that it's locked and won't be affected by the "rootTransform"'s motion being deleted), then unlock the pelvis/other root bone before exporting the animation.

Hey it seems to to not work that easily. Probably cause I'm using CS2 demos in S2FM. While writing this I exported DMX as ASCII and there seem to be no rootTransform keyframes.
