I'm having an issue using the XSI mod tool to export VTA files from the male_06 reference model. I've followed the valve wiki (at least as far as I can tell) to export the vta file. The steps are:
1) Select mesh to export (i've tried selecting the entire male_06 mesh as well as the individual animated face clusters)
2) Select ValveBiped hierarchy
3) Click 'export VTA'
It generates a vta file that has bone animation sequences (ie time 0 through 35) which is fine. However the "vertexanimation" section is empty. There should be a list of vertex animation values in this section!
Note that I'm doing this with the Male_06 reference model in the source sdk and *not* a custom model. Shouldn't this work properly? There is an included vta file for this reference model in the source sdk that has the correct vertex animation points... but I need to be able to export this file myself.
If anyone has done this successfully can you let me know the exact steps to export the file? Thanks in advance!
