Would be nice if someone test the exporter because I don't use those popular 3d editing software (like maya and max), so I only test stuff on C4D and Blender. The link to the repo is here: https://github.com/gdkchan/SPICA.

The DAE exporter also exports skeletal animations, but it have... issues. The scale is actually pretty problematic, because on Sun/Moon models the scales aren't inherited, but since dae uses local space matrices to store each bone transform, they are multiplied according to the bone hierarchy and the result is that the scale is inherited... resulting in issues. I belive that some softwares have an option to "fix" this (scale compensation?), but I can't try this. DAE also supports storing each bone transform as translate/rotate/scale, I don't know if it would work through, since I didn't tried and dunno if its even worth the effort to implement it.

Anyway in case of problems anyone can open a Issue on the repo. I'm also looking for contributors, because a lot of features are still missing, and the more people working on it, the better!

I don't know if the sleeve uses scales but I'm pretty sure that the fingers does use it... A scale of -1.15 on the X axis iirc, and 1.15 on Y/Z (something like this), and the negative scale have the effect of flipping one axis of the finger.

You can try right clicking the SPICA.WinForms project, clicking in build and see if anything shows up on the Output window. You'll also need references do OpenTK.dll and OpenTK.GLControl.dll (lastest versions).

Using 3DS Max 2k11 and the 2k10 importer from this website:
http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm
You can import both the model and SMD animations to export to other usable formats.
For those of you who use Unity or other left handed coordinate solutions, this is a quick and fast solution.
For those of you who use right handed coordinate solutions, you will have to figure it out how to make it upright yourself.

First, you import the SMD model itself.
Next, you import 1 animation of your choice.
Press play, and enjoy the show.

As for exporting these animations out, I have not progressed that far. I am assuming I can import the animation only and export it that way, but I have yet to try.
