Haptek Player in Windows11, tutorial POC activex

[Drathian]

longtime lurker, but i have to keep registering cause i guess they think i'm spam lol.  So i just spent all last night reinstalling windows11 this time i'm maxing on version 22H2, cause the latest broke haptek player, all garbled video its really frustrating to me.  I've browsed many a virtual ai forum for quite some time. I periodically collect things i can find that are interesting. I may even have something you need.  I bought people putty back in windows xp, but when i installed it on vista it wouldn't register anymore, so i forsaw this issue so i made a backup vm with windows xp with peopleputty installed, so thats the only way i can make stuff anymore using a vm that makes me nervous as heck that its going to get corrupted one day.  I have really liked using this software for quite sometime.  I haven't really said anything on any of the forums other then guile's i think at some point mainly because i read and answer my own questions.

POC:

so a little known fact, is that microsoft actually still packs internet explorer (the version that accepts activex) even on windows 11 amazingly.   It is just inaccessible to the average user.  I was reading some forums for a solution to this issue and came across a vbs script that can launch internet explorer activex version temporarly.

I'd say use this for compatibility purposes but i'm sure there is some huge security risk involved in this method, don't go browsing bad websites with this or anything even still!  I can view old haptek websites if any are still up, or on archive.org or whatnot with this method.

I'll just post the code so you know its not a virus lol, It's quite simple too!

ie.vbs

Code: [Select]

Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Navigate "about:blank"
ie.Visible = 1

Only question I ever was unable to answer myself as far as haptek tweaking, is how do you remove the shoes on the full female htr, anyone know?

I love the fact that i was going to post this today anways, but the last weeks updates with windows 11 has broken a lot of things, security upgrade perhaps, but it breaks my thermal control for my laptop, bunch of gpuz kind things, don't even get me started about what HP and they did to those mixedreality headsets, anyway when it broke haptek it was the final straw, I installed the older 22H2 version that i know still works and locked it to never upgrading past that version.  I may have to do more then just using the group policy editor if microsoft gets more aggressive with their upgrade push. Any recommends?

Note this method has a lifespan:

Thank you for your support Dra
I re wrote the people putty player from scratch.
Its in here some where , it works well with H22. I havent done much in a while tho.
It uses the single core single processor theory.
I just released a goody though, for creating full body characters. Look in the work shop.
I will just post it here
Best regards

As to the account banning. Thers some new code in the forum that auto bans on spam related ip's, email addresses.
Robert has done some great work on the forum code, But its not without out bugs from time to time.

As far as I can tell that is just 3dmax 2023 with maybe? some extra addons.  I last used 3dmax 2010 so i'm not sure if i'm missing the script, or plugin somewhere, or what not, looked mostly standard vanilla to me, let me know if i misunderstood.

BTW, do you still have the single core hapaxplayer either?  I don't really need it too much but I am an archiver of niche things.

wait what, that simple, but not, awesome lol! ;P

Sorry for the longest time i still even used gmax and a complicated amount of toolbar menus and plugins, and scripts for rigging, so i was used to that omfg that is freaking awesome!

Most impressive!

Does it have a poly limit, or it autodownscales (something like that old thing what was it polychop) i'm going to test it rn?

Dra:


Select Your Character/Object: Make sure the rigged character or object you want to export motion data from is selected in your 3ds Max scene.
Access the Exporter: Go to the File menu in 3ds Max.
Choose Export: Select Export from the dropdown menu.
Select HTR Format: In the file dialog, find the "Files of type" dropdown and choose *Motion Analysis HTR (*.htr, .htr2) or a similar option.
Save the File: Give your file a name and choose a location, then click Save.
Configure ExportHTR Dialog: The specific dialog box for HTR export will appear with options:

    Options Group: Check boxes like "Export Animation" to include keyframes and "Include Root Object" for the main hierarchy.
    Time Options: Define the start and end frames for the animation you want to export (Slider/Range or From/To).

Finalize Export: Click OK or Export in the dialog to create your .HTR file.

This process exports the motion data in a format compatible with other motion analysis tools or Character Studio/CAT setups in 3ds Max.







You can even import .HTR

How to Import an HTR File:

    Go to the Motion Panel: In 3ds Max, navigate to the Motion panel.
    Select CATParent (if using CAT): In the Clip Manager rollout, choose the Clip mode.
    Load the File: Click the Load button and set the file type to "MotionAnalysis HTR (*.htr)" to select your file.
    Import/Capture: Choose whether to import the base pose only or the full animation, and use the Capture Animation tool to map it to your character rig (like a CATRig or Biped).

This process imports the motion data as a separate hierarchy that you then retarget to your actual animated character.
