This Tool allows you to extract compressed and compiled animations from Call Of Duty’s proprietary binary file format.
The GUI interface allows you to drag and drop the animations displaying useful information about the file.
The GUI can also export the animation to my own binary format that stores the animation in a uncompressed manner and in such a way that is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit.
This intermediate format can then be loaded into Maya via my plug-in which I have made 32-bit and 64-bit plug-ins for (6.0 – 8.5 – 9.0 – 2011 – 2012). Which will then interpret the data and create animation curves for joints in the scene.

Later additions to the plugin may come in the form of a automatic animation control rigger.
Which will create controls for the model then transfer the bone animation data on to the controls making it easy to edit the animation.
Hey Tom i’d like to know when “lemon” or bo2 xanim will be released,thanks for your time and keep it up.
2-3 Weeks
Its been 9 weeks and 2 days π
well I worked on mw2 support plus other things π
As I said my plans often change π
yeh
So then whats the current ETA seeing as you said it was about 95% complete in another comment?
Tom you already have a date set for the release of the lemon?
Progress on most things have been set back about a week, since I have not had use of my pc for 8 days.
Is that going to be released with Black Ops 1 support from the start?
Hi Tom, I have successfully imported the animation and geometry into maya. So how can I transfer it to 3ds max? I tried .fbx format, but if the fbx format includes geometry, max will crash. If I delete the geometry, the animation only includes 100 frame. Please help me
SED just download modtools for black ops anims…
I’m looking for animations that aren’t in the Black Ops mod tools (Which I already have).
Thanks for the update
Your tools open a new frontier in CoD modding, Tom. ItΒ΄s really amazing.
Do you plan to release BO1 anims exporter?
As SED says, a lot of SP anims are not in the mod tools.
Is there any chance that this, and/or the new tool, will support – xanim_export ?
@tom, is there any update for maya 2014 ?
as the older plugins from 2011/2012 are not working.
There is no Maya 2014 plugin, and loading a plugin made for a older Maya is not going to work it’s why there is a plugin file for each version I support.
I currently don’t support Maya 2013 / 2014 as the API changed quite a lot from the older version of Maya’s so compiling the code for Maya 2012 / 2013 almost requires a re-write and it’s about 3k of c++ so I’m not rly that inclined to do it currently.

Help please T_T
Thanks in advance;)
The cod plugin is not loaded.
make sure you have Maya 8.5 32 bit and that the plugin is loaded (check via plugin manger)
Thanks Tom! Fixed.
(Solved*) xD
Is Lemon actually coming out or have I missed something?
Hi Tom. I would like to know if there is some method to export the original anims of BO2.
Thanks in advance. π
Will this eventually be updated to support MW2, MW3, BO2, and Ghosts?
Hey tom, just wanted to know how long until lemon is released, love ur cod tools man, they are the best π
Hey Tom,
thanks for this awesome tool. I just gave it a shot and it works brilliantly until I drag my animations into maya. I exported some viewmodel_hands form cod4 and a viewmodel_m16. I applied their exported binding, joined the weapon to the hands and everything look good so far if i randomly drag bones arround.
When I import an Animation now, everything looks some kind a weird. I don’t know if it may has anything to do with the fact that all the exported models form cod4 have switched axis?
Please help me with this one.
Thanks in Advance.
Marten
All cod’s are Z-axis up.
I suggest you take some pics or even a video and post them in a support topic on the fourm (link in menu above).
Tom.
so i take it lemon is no longer available?
They will be just trying to resolve false positive issues with a few antivirus software.
