Importing animation files in 3DS Max

[Teutonic Fury]

I am having a problem attempting to import animation files, as discussed in
the following thread...

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=53728&highlight=Rendering+in+3DS+Max

I have followed the above-referenced guide very carefully,
but when I attempt to open an animation file (using 3DS Max ver. 9),
I receive the following ERROR MESSAGE:

"Cannot import animation without the Scene Root bone. Verify it exists."

Any help is appreciated!

I imagine you are trying to import the animation without any model imported, beforehand? The scene bone root is in the unit model, so if the bone root is absent I imagine the unit would be, as well.

Thank you, Publius.

Because of your help, I was able to sort the problem out!
