rtm_import for Blender 2.80

Blender Addon for importing Arma 2/3 RTM files

meant to be used with:

• Macser's ArmaRig for Blender
• Alwarren's Arma Toolbox for Blender

Features

• import of RTM files in RTM_0101 format
• for each RTM frame a keyframe is added for every animated bone
• if Arma Toolbox is installed, allow import of the motion vector
• (optionally) create a new action for every imported RTM - automatically name it based on its filename (without extension)
• allow importing of multiple RTM files (only when using the 'Create Action' option)

Known Issues

• all bone constraints get disabled for now
• therefore IK and other control bones won't work
• no support for binary RTMs

please report any other issue at https://github.com/4d4a5852/rtm_import/issues

Installation

Blender:

• 'Edit' -> 'Preferences'
• select the 'Add-ons' tab
• 'Install...'
• navigate to the 'rtm_import.py' file and select it
• install it by pressing 'Install Add-on from File...'
• enable the addon by setting the checkmark in front of it

Usage

Blender:

• open the ArmaRig
• 'File' -> 'Import' -> 'Arma 2/3 RTM (.rtm)'
• select the RTM file to be imported
• set the import options:
  • 'Start Frame': frame in timeline where the RTM frames will be imported to (starting with this frame existing keyframes will be OVERWRITTEN for the bones animated in the RTM
  • 'Set Frame Range': select to set the frame range to the newly imported keyframes
  • 'Disable Bone Constraints': needs to be set to get valid imports (for now)
  • 'Import motion vector': Import motion vector from RTM (for export with Arma Toolbox)
  • 'Create Action': Create new action and switch to it - name is based on the filename
  • 'Import to @': Experimental option to import the RTM bone data to the Blender bones named with a prepended '@', e.g. RTM bone 'LeftHand' will be imported onto Blender bone '@LeftHand' - an appropriately set up Blender rig is required
• 'Import RTM'
• import will start - its progress will be shown at the mouse cursor
