Adding Outlines to Puni Models

[crude trail]

I was trying to add an outline to a model in Blender (4.5.11 LTS) using the Outline Helper, but lets say it's kinda solid, so it blocks the texturized model. It's slightly bigger, so I think the outline "it's" there
Maybe it's a stupid/easy to solve problem, but i'm struggling to get this to work

[crude trail]

Should I change Blender version or tool? btw S11 doesn't give me the option of adding outlines.

[crude trail]

okay, maybe I have a non-supported version for this, thank you!

[crude trail]

in github the latest release is 1.2.0, is there any other site with the 1.3 release?

@grizzled spruce

[grizzled spruce]

1.3 has not been released, you have to download the source code

[crude trail]

okey

[crude trail]

I added the outlines. but it doesn't appear in-game, how can I solve it?

I exported it as an Archive (xpck) and replaced it with the Blazion .xc

[crude trail]

Did I missed something?

[grizzled spruce]

Hi. Which outline method did you follow?

[crude trail]

Firstly, I tried the S11 method (v 1.3), I duplicated the selected mesh with the Studio eleven's button, then a message about duplicating around 650 faces its done, and when

exporting, in the outline section selected skin1, the one should have outlines

(sorry the message got cut)

When doing all this and replacing the blazion's .xc, it doesnt appear in game, so I re-tried the Outline Helper method

It worked in blender, because I was able to see the actual outline (the 2nd image), but when doing the replacement didn't change in game

[grizzled spruce]

Did you read the whole guide about Studio Eleven Outline? There are notes and tips in there. If your base model doesn't have the vertex color map in black, it'll never work.

About Outline Helper I can't help you. I don't use this stuff

[crude trail]

Oh, okay, I was following an explanation that someone did in the server, I think I'm missing this. I will read it all and re-try it, thank you!

[grizzled spruce]

Nah follow the official guide lol

[crude trail]

Okay thanks

Reading this a bit, I think it's normal it didn't work 😅 This is going to be really helpful

[crude trail]

Hey @grizzled spruce , I know it's too late, so i hope you can see this in the morning. I followed all the steps in the guide, but still nothing appeared, so I made this video to show you how I tried to do it, so you can tell me if I'm doing something wrong (video drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tLo6dHjJ8BO1l_e_qt-guCNCUQaMdieu/view?usp=sharing) Thnx for attending all my problems with patience

[grizzled spruce]

you locked the file

[crude trail]

Ups sorry

Now its unlocked

@grizzled spruce

[grizzled spruce]

you rush too much step

where is this step?

[grizzled spruce]

Next, if you look closely, I'm sure you'll see some outlines. You should take a screenshot instead of taking a picture of your computer with your phone, because it's pretty hard to see.

[crude trail]

I did the first method, the delete a face (when the model goes down, there is when I deleted the face)

The second I couldn't do it

I didn't find the Vertex Painting in the viewport shading

[grizzled spruce]

you have to select your mesh not the armature

and it's vertex paint

[crude trail]

I'm pretty sure there is no outline, I tried the same with bigger thickness and being all black

[grizzled spruce]

disable texture

[grizzled spruce]

bro???? there is outline

[crude trail]

I'll do the screenshot

[grizzled spruce]

The problem isn't the outlines, it's that you didn't understand

[crude trail]

Yes, it may be that

[crude trail]

But for the first steps I did something wrong? Before the deleting of the armature

[grizzled spruce]

no idea why you delete the armature

[crude trail]

it was to prove that the duplicated mesh appeared, I thought that was the thing I should delete (I'm very new in Blender)

[grizzled spruce]

wrong method

just select your mesh, turn to edit mode, face selection and delete one face

[grizzled spruce]

I wait

[crude trail]

here it is

[grizzled spruce]

export your model without to add outline properties (in xc exporter) and screen me

[crude trail]

This is without the add outline properties

[crude trail]

I think they look identical

[grizzled spruce]

send me your blend + your texture please I will test

[crude trail]

okey, give me a minute

[crude trail]

it's a puni puni model

[grizzled spruce]

thx

[grizzled spruce]

no outline

with outline

have fun

I have no idea why it's not working for you. I just deleted the OUTLINE material because I thought it looked weird, and then I exported it. Maybe it's because of your version of Blender. I've only tested the add-on on versions from 3.8 to 4.4.3

[crude trail]

Okey THANK YOU

[crude trail]

Specifically which you used for this?

I suppose 4.5.11 LTS just sucks
