I have an animated armature in blender that I want to export to Unreal Engine in FBX format. I know the axis are different between the two, but I cant seem to find a combination of axis in either transformation or armature to make it work. When imported, the animation is always horizontal, when it should be vertical. I've tried googling an answer and trying random combinations.

I have gltf model with rig and animation sequences (with .bin), exported from video game League of Legends. After mport into Blender, everything looks fine (almost, but that's not important for rig), but after exporting into other format (I export as .smd to use in Source Filmmaker, but also tried othe formats) and importing into Blender exported model armature mirrors along global Y. Here's how animation has to look
And here is what comes after export-import:
import mesh with armature, but without animation
and what comes with adding animation
(for this after previous screenshot I flipped mesh in edit mode along Y global).
I tried to mirror before/after export-import both armature and mesh. Nothing helped before. On last screenshot everything is flipped along global X. One day I fixed it, but her weapon (circle thing) is always behind her after export-import when it must be ahead of her.
We're trying to do tiling textures for AR Quick Look (iOS in USDZ (pixar) format), but issuing a problem.
What we have:
Project in the blender, where we use scaling texture via mapping (screen below) and everything looks fine like it is tiled properly.
When I do export in GLTF 2.0 you can see, that texture is not scaled (scale should be 100, 100) and that is why it looks bad. Doing not tiled textures for (for example) roads, is bad idea, so, that is why i'm using it.
The same goes to usdz.But i think that it is because of GLTF format
Not sure if while exporting from blender to gltf i should do something correctly
This question might be better suited for Blender SE, not here.
The glTF exporter is looking for a shader node called "UV Map" instead of that "Texture Coordinate" node you have there. I realize the names are almost synonymous, but the "UV Map" node has a chooser for which UV Map, and that's what the exporter wants to find. (For more detail, there is documentation.)
Also I don't know if glTF export supports that little splitter node you have in your graph there. Try drawing individual lines from the "mapping" box to each of the image textures.
I am having a persistent issue when exporting glb and gltf models from blender (2.79) that have armature applied.
I am using this exporter.
Exporting the model with an armature NOT applied gives me the expected result (ie it appears as it does in Blender) but as soon as I apply an armature (before I have even added any animation) the model exports with all the shapes rotated.
There is at least some consistency to the problem in that it appears as though all the shapes are rotated through 90 degrees on the X axis (although some are positive and some are negative).
To compare I have exported a glb with no armature, a glb with armature, and an obj with armature just to check that there is no issue with my original file. (I have done the same with gltf just in case. You can see a screenshot of that comparison below brought into a-frame.
Here is a side view for ease of comparison. You can see how the individual shapes are flipped 90 on the x axis.
Here as well is a link to that aframe scene
And here is a link to a zip of the blender file
I have looked at many similar issues that suggest applying all rotation/scale etc. tidying up the model etc. I have done all that and tidied up my model as much as I know how. It seems as though the model and armature is ok as the obj export works fine.
I have seen similar questions such as this one but they are mostly to do with distortion of models once animated. I have worked backwards to understand the root of the problem and it does seem that simply applying the armature is what explodes the model in this way.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there an export setting I am missing?
Any help greatly appreciated as ever. And if any more info is needed, please let me know.
I've been searching around the web about how to do this and I know that it needs to be done with OpenCV. The problem is that all the tutorials and examples that I find are for separated shapes detection or template matching.
What I need is a way to detect the contents between 3 circles (which can be a photo or something else). From what I searched, its not to difficult to find the circles with the camera using contours but, how do I extract what is between them? The circles work like a pattern on the image to grab what is "inside the pattern".
Do I need to use the contours of each circle and measure the distance between them to grab my contents? If so, what if the image is a bit rotated/distorted on the camera?
I'm using Xamarin.iOS for this but from what I already saw, I believe I need to go native for this and any Objective C example is welcome too.
EDIT
Imagining that the image captured by the camera is this:
What I want is to match the 3 circles and get the following part of the image as result:
Since the images come from the camera, they can be rotated or scaled up/down.
The warpAffine function will let you map the desired area of the source image to a destination image, performing cropping, rotation and scaling in a single go.
Talking about rotation and scaling seem to indicate that you want to extract a rectangle of a given aspect ratio, hence perform a similarity transform. To define such a transform, three points are too much, two suffice. The construction of the affine matrix is a little tricky.
I'm completely new to ArcGIS and ArcMap, but someone suggested this program to me for a project I'm working on.
I would like to animate individual entities on a map, and was wondering if it is possible to do so in ArcMap. I asked this earlier here and a member directed me to a tutorial on animating in ArcGIS. The animation in the guide was over a map spread (ie. each pixel on the map displays, say, a different color to indicate population data in the area). However I realized that if I zoom in a lot, eventually the image will degenerate into pixels, which is why I need an actual object to mark a certain point. I checked some online tutorials and it seems like we can place markers on the map. Can someone tell me if it is possible to animate these markers (for example via a for-loop)? And if so, could you point me in a direction where to start?
Thanks in advance!
You can animate layers in ArcMap is the short answer. Its not as simple as using the timeline feature in Google Earth for example though. But then ArcMap is much more than just a visualization tool.
This help page on the ESRI web help looks like a good place to start.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the image degenerates into pixels. Are you saying that the markers were single points in the layer. Unlike Google Earth you are not confined to simply plotting points on the map. You can draw completely arbitrary shapes in ArcMap, which can be defined to cover actual areas of the map, so when you zoom-in the shape gets larger.
The way you need to load data into ArcMap to produce an animation isn't too simple. There might be other ways to do this, but the way I know of is to generate a NetCDF file. This file contains a 3D matrix of layer data, where each layer is separated through time. Because you generate a matrix, you are effectively placing a raster image over the map. Thus if you want to cover a large area, each matrix becomes large, and you multiply that by the number of time slices you wish to animate over.
Once you have a NetCDF file with your data in however, getting ArcMap to animate it and produce say a .avi file is pretty simple.
You could try just loading some of the example NetCDF datasets into ArcMap to see how/if they will work to get you started.
Hope that helps.
The upcoming v10 will have better time-aware capabilities, which will allow for animation.
