does anyone have a working skeleton the only one i can find is Quebec's and it has 337 bones

#

Hey does anyone know how i need to make the interior of a building? what props do i use? Reforger props or my own? and how do i even import props from reforger into blender?

#

Also i am making a building in Blender, is there anything special i need to do with the Enfusion tool? or just make my model and afterwards use the enfusion tool?

How do i take props from arma and put them into blender for more precise refrencing? Also, is it possible to put my building into arma just to test it already?

#

Also, how do i put stairs and and other stuff into the blender?

it actually kind of auto updates from fbx

random bough
#

Where do i Export my model to? what file, if that matters

final urchin
#

Export it anywhere as an FBX, hit Import in the workbench with your project's folder selected and hit "as model" when importing.

random bough
#

Thanks!

raven rune
#

It's actually better to export directly to your addon. That way when you make changes to your model and overwrite the model it will be "auto" reimported

stuck kraken
raven rune
#

Your addon is just a folder on your computer. If you export a model directly to your addons asset folder then right click in workbench and import it. Anytime you make changes to said fbx. I.E. alter in blender and overwrite, if you have workbench opened the fbx will be reimported. Updating the xob.

Ask in the relevant channel and give people time to answer.

#

I created the model (FBX) how to add materials / colliders? I don't understand how the material tools in blender work?

raven rune
#

If that isn't enough info then you should get more familiar with Blender, Workbench and their terminologies.

i don't understand how to set up collider either, and not how to get the right materials, it doesn't realy show me

RESOURCES (W): Trimesh collider exceeded maximal number of vertices/faces
What is the maximum number?

raven rune
#

If you're getting that error then your models isn't optimized for video game usage

random bough
#

Okay, thanks, so reducing the number should work right?

#

I can make it even less but im testing right now and it looks like it works

#

i can at least go to 40k i geusse but just testing now

balmy patrol
#

i assume it is for a building. If you have a collision mesh that is 40K, i would say you are doing it wrong. The lower the better. Have a look over BI's buildings, collision meshes are as less detailed as possible

random bough
#

You know what, i just found another tool for blender, i can for sure go down even more whitout losing too much detail

random bough
#

Anyone knows what this bug means?

Whenevr i place my custom building, When i go into play mode (in world editor) this message apears. If i press retry, i can play anyway whitout any problems, but what does this message mean?

I'm reviewing a model in Blender which I had previously successfully imported into Enfusion. In Blender when I click on Enfusions Tools -> Colliders Setup I get the Blender error "Communication error with Workbench app". I have Workbench open. I checked that API is enabled in Workbench. This worked fine previously. Anyone got some tips on what might be going wrong here?
Edit: I just updated to Blender 3.6.9 and re-installed the Enfusion Blender Tools (to version 1.0.0). Still getting the same "Communication error with Workbench app" error. I would really appreciate any help on this!

Trying to export.txa in Blender tools with the experimental workbench doing API throws me an error. Even if you have both stable and experimental workbench open, the experimental needs to be closed, otherwise just errors and nothing else. Stable on it's own works fine. Anyone else ?

I just imported an action from the m16 safety blend file from reforger misc then tried to export txa

#

no idea what I did to fix it tho

mighty bone
#

sometimes txa exporter exports unchecked exports

languid hornet
#

it exports things which are also not visible (show export hidden). Are you sure your action had an user?

#

Can you perhaps send me blend file?

#

in any case, this thing with exporting not visible actions should be fixed in next EBT version. Here is also small sneak peak of TXA export interface upgrade

You will have to recreate the armature, but you can use this for converting memory points to empties for use with Reforger.

import bpy

# Get the "Memory Points" collection
collection_name = "Memory Points"
collection = bpy.data.collections.get(collection_name)

if collection is not None:
    # Create a list to hold objects for deletion

    # Iterate over each object in the collection
    for obj in collection.objects:
        # Check if the object is a mesh
        if obj.type == 'MESH':
            # Go to object mode and select the object
            bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
            bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = obj

            for vert in obj.data.vertices:
                # Create new empty and link to the collection
                empty = bpy.data.objects.new(f'{obj.name}_{vert.index}', None)

I havent launched reforger yet so i might even update any mods on there if thats causing issues in the workbench because i have dependancies on the project im trying to import to

One moment may have fixed it, looks like whatever changed in the update changed a bunch of naming stuff causing errors. A new project seems to have fixed the issue in blender, but all the progress causing script errors in workbench is a rip :/

Hi all, I remember reading that blender tools were not compatible with Blender latest versions. With yesterday update has the compatibility been extended? Will I be able to update blender and tools to their latest version without issues? Or am I totally off track and there is no issue whatsoever regardless of the version?

the tools were made for 3.6 LTS

Re-posting a problem here with the Blender Enfusion Tools always failing to connect to Workbench. Every time I try to use the "Colliders Setup" button in Blender Enfusion Tools add-on I get the error "Communication error with Workbench app". Workbench is running and "Enable Net API" checkbox is ticked. I've tried turning off firewall Windows Firewall Defender. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Blender Enfusion Tools, Blender and Enfusion. No difference. Blender version is 3.6, tools add-on version is 1.1.0, Workbench version is 1.1.0.34. It was working fine for me up to Dec 2023, but has not worked since Jan 2024. Any help would be seriously appreciated!

Anyone know where I can find the character blender model?

languid hornet
# ionic wadi So to confirm, you mean the Workbench log when I press Collider Setup in Blender...

After some investigation it seems culprit of "Communication error with Workbench app" was found. If some other app is using 5700 port, then communication with Blender with fail. In case of PowderedToastMan it was Dell software ( SupportAssistAgent.exe) which was also listening on same port.
You can verify which apps are listening on ports by typing following things in Windows CMD
netstat -aof | findstr :5700
And then finding PID of the process in i.e. Task Manager

#

Maybe there will be option in the future to change port in Workbench but that is something TBD

ionic wadi
#

Thanks Reyhard. All good now. For future reference, anyone experiencing "Communication error with Workbench app" error who has a Dell computer, may find that the service Dell Support Assist is the problem. To solve this, disable "Dell SupportAssist" service to prevent it starting up

You may find vehiclefire is the wrong one, or it may not work with UTM, or something similar to that.

Try a different layer preset, or change it on the workbench import options, down the bottom under mesh properties or whatever it is called.

How do i get the enfusion Tools for blender?

#

i can only export this as fbx but it doesnt have a texture

#

in the workbench

#

Enfusion tools are not in the blender Addons list

#

plugin has an error on install

#

Doesnt work after restarting blender multiple times. removing and installing addon over and over. Reinstalling Reforger tools on steam

knotty pagoda
#

exporting as a fbx still doesnt give any textures in the workbench

raven rune
knotty pagoda
#

It's 3.6 right?

#

I have that. Managed to install the addon

#

But now when I save the fbx and open it in the workbench it doesn't have any textures

raven rune
#

I don't think the blend tools export your textures for you, but I could be wrong.

#

I know they added material stuff to the tools the last time it was updated but I don't really care about that functionality, so I'm not sure exactly how it works.

knotty pagoda
#

Okay yeah I don't know how to get an emat either

#

I didn't know retexturing stuff for arma is so horrible

raven rune
knotty pagoda
#

True, I rather spend my time doing something else

fringe willow
#

@knotty pagoda I guess you haven't assigned enfusion type material that's provided with the addon

#

they should be in your assets, if they are not you can append them from the library file

image.png
#

aka C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger Tools\Blender

#

when you assign "Enfusion Type" material you will be able to use custom material interface in the material panel to assign textures, and work on from there

raven rune
tawny dagger
raven rune
#

As long as the texture exists on the server and client then yes

#

Not sure if it would work with Xbox as I never tested but I was able to create new materials at runtime and set an objects material to the newly created material. You could get the emat as a base container and alter it that way but, that would change all instances of that material (I.E. anything using that material would be updated to the new texture)

languid hornet
#

You could also use ref in emat like collimator is doing for swapping sight variants

raven rune
#

not sure if that's what the collimator is doing or not

languid hornet
#

Yes, that what I'm talking about

#

And then use ref to switch to texture variant of your choice

I'd rather not test lol

balmy patrol
#

considering previous blender LTS releases, a new version is bound to be released and set as LTS in june - july

shell spear
balmy patrol
# shell spear I'm not mad or anything like that but that sucks. specially for me that likes to...

For all intents and purposes, at least when it comes to reforger, there is nothing in newer blender versions (4.0 and 4.1) that you would really need for creating game assets.
Latest update for blender LTS is dated 16.04.2024 -> blender version 3.6.11

There are several commercial plugins that are updating only for LTS just as well, so BI not doing for their modding tools, especially since it runs just fine on the LTS is surely not a big deal. Most if not all commercial entities that are using blender as their main 3d package are using the LTS version

languid hornet
# shell spear I'm not mad or anything like that but that sucks. specially for me that likes to...

that is common thing in projects to use single version of software so you don't have to chase the rabbit constantly. Blender brought already 2 plugin breaking changes where it is impossible to support both 3.6 LTS & 4.1+ without making a lot of if statements.
Next LTS version of Blender is 4.2 and this should be released in June iirc. Once it is released, EBT will move to support this version

Thanks for sharing.
yeah i got the plugin from there. I also do have the latest version of the tools and the API enabled
When i run the export script in Enfusion it does open blender, the 3.6.11 even.

i get the error because of the missing ValidateResources.exe file, which im not sure how to get. Ive tried verifying the tools already.

Could you maybe check if you have the file?
Its in Arma Reforger tools>Workbench>ValidateResource.exe

keep in mind that Enfusion uses vertex colors and they will influence whatever you have in texture

Not fully sure if this is the right channel, but I've got my model built in Blender and need to find out how to port it over to enfusion. One way that I've seen is texture baking everything and bringing it over. I am very much struggling with baking (consistently getting back black images), is there another way?

Thank you bro

I’ve been looking everywhere for this information

When I import my model from blender it doesn’t give me the textures / materials. I did the textures / materials in blender and I can’t seem to find a fix, from my understanding most people use Substance for their model’s textures however since i don’t have that I’ve resulted in doing the textures in the blender shader tab, would anyone know how to export the textures from blender into Arma tools? Or should I just not even bother and just buy substance

#

I’ve tried to follow the The forms with no luck

If I understood correctly, you've created the look you wanted in blender using shaders. Next step would be to bake those textures to external files, preferably in TIFF format, then map them to "Enfusion type materials" that come with EBT addon. And use export FBX/export material functionality of the EBT addon.

#

You must use provided materials for the IO to work properly, any other custom materials made in blender are not supported in the workbench.

#

So, in short, what you can do is bake the resulting look to textures, replace the custom materials you have with the one provided by the addon, map the textures to new materials and then use export functionality.

Hey, sorry for the Noob question but couldn't really find any answers on the wiki. How do I import the Reforger sample human model into blender? I remember seeing someone had a sample human model they could use for reference. It looked different than the human model you see in Prefabs/characters though.

Can we use existing assets in Reforger Tools as reference? or is this not allowed.

I have the enfusion plug in all set up and rolled back my blender version already.

So what i'm trying to do is make some gloves, but it would be easier if I had a Reforger hand model for reference, instead of just a stock hand model.

I have a question, is there any way to make the Blender tools work with version 4.1? The problem is if I reroll my Blender version to 3.6 it breaks my entire model

#

and even if I go back to 4.0 which worked for me in the past my model looses all it's parenting and smooth properties

you also don't really need blender (it isn't mandatory for anything but character animations), you could just export that as FBX just fine

I need to set up my collisions for a vehicle mod

for some reason it removes smooth shade

I suppose this is more of a general PC question but it relates to a odd occasional issue I'm having with the tools. I use a folder on my desktop as my file storage location for my anim files, export profiles, etc. But frequently the tools plugin seems to lose the location of my export profiles folder.

I was just wondering if it is due to the location of the files or if its an issue that just happens with the EBTs?

# waxen karma Im new to blender with the intention on implementing a model into enfusion. Just...

that is a completely and different question altogether. As far as i know, the game needs to register and convert all the files on import, so (as max user, not blender user) i would say setting up each texture for each slot needs to happen directly in workbench - the name of the material files, the parts of the mesh with different mats etc will be kept. Any updates will be kept and auto transferred on export - considering the naming of the exported FBX and TXA is not changed

blissful flame
glacial quartz
#

the animation exporter is a seperate thing you need to install

#

or if you already have that then there's a little trick I found in some comment here, when you select the save location you need to turn off the relative path box

I do have the export profiles installed.

so try turning off the checkbox for relative path, that fixed it for me on a similar problem

it's on the pop up when you are selecting the save path

what addons do you y'all use internally? I was just looking at blender market for some stuff to make life easier and can't decide on what to get if anything - a recommendation from in here would make things easier or DM if you don't want say publicly

#

assuming y'all are using anything from blender market anyway

#

I was just about ask what people are using for materials anyway since there isn't really a better spot on this discord to ask about blender itself and improving the workflow to get to enfusion - specifically i was looking at extreme pbr nexus and fluent materializer so a recommendation one way or the other would be appreciated

balmy patrol
glacial quartz
#

I know, but there are a few addons on blender market to make that easier with either premade nodes or interfaces and painting layers etc so I was just asking if anyone had experience with any of those addons

#

I've tried armor paint and didn't like it and for what I'm doing I don't need or want to pay for substance or 3dcoat

#

extreme pbr for example just has a huge collection of pbr textures to start with and a new interface to manipulate those and layer them to create something to bake down

#

I tried grungeit which is a free little addon that will add grunge and dirt masks automatically for you but it just wasn't agreeing with my models or maybe UVs for some reason so it wasn't the solution I was looking for

Have the tools been updated to Blender 4.2 LTS finally? and if not is there any way to get informed on when it happens?

vital meteor

or is it even planned

I think theye mentioned they are updating to 4.2 in the latest devlog about face bones?

#

I could be wrong

languid hornet
#

Enfusion Blender Tools distributed in experimental branch of Arma Reforger Workbench are already targeting 4.2 version. Since it is not possible to maintain compatibility with 3.6 LTS, 4.2 LTS will be the only version which you will be able to use with EBT

Same process for shirts etc, You would just have to go in and clean the weights which any blender tutorial can teach you

I have a question regarding the skelleton updater.
Once I run the script all the contact points sink below the origin. I'm guessing the plug in applies all transforms to the armature which usually produces that error.

Captura_de_pantalla_2024-11-04_183627.png
#

While the contact points could be copied and pasted from the original armature this would add more steps to the different items update which naturally wouldn't be ideal. I'd appreciate any pointers, thanks!

I am using sample items and I get exactly the same... So no idea.

#

How are you also importing model into blender? I get 1.0 scale when I import sample helmet fbx into blender

#

are you sure you are not using some addon? Which Blender version are you using?

strange ingot
#

I am using indeed the updated blend file with the hot fix, on Blender 4.2 LTS.
I am importing manually through blenders menus...

#

Anyway I've been playing around for sometime and the "Character_Weights_Template.blend" has the right scale of 1.0 and thus the problem doesn't arise.
Now... "Character_Template.fbx" has the armature scale at 0.010.

I tried updating assets made several months ago and some presented the problems and some didn't. I fear many models were parented to the "FBX version" and not necessarily the "blend version". So I guess there's not much to be done but manually replacing the skeleton in those cases notlikemeowcry

languid hornet
#

Character_Template.fbx
this model exported straight from 3Ds Max and all of them have such property

#

anyway, just to be sure, you are checking scale of armature or of IK objects?

armature

It totally might be a me problem.. But I do wonder if anyone else might face the same issue

# languid hornet https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation/Asset_Preparat...

In Blender realms, this means that any object which Armature modifier, must be fully skinned to some existing bone through vertex groups. In this case it means that all faces, beside those which belongs to w_bolt vertex group, on body_02_LOD0 object has to be skinned to w_root bone. In this case it was done by selecting faces belonging to w_bolt and then inverting the selection via the Ctrl + I shortcut. After that, new vertex group called w_root was created and current selection was assigned to it via Assign button. For clarification, this means everything that is not in the w-bolt group needs to be added to w_root group? does this also include my other objects already assigned to other groups?

languid hornet
#

if its a one single object - yes

#

if bolt is separate object then no

wind moon
languid hornet
#

what group?

#

vertex groups are not working for colliders

wind moon
languid hornet
#

what group?

wind moon
#

Im probably messing up the terminology. Ill send screen shots.

#

So I have my trigger assigned to the w_trigger. My question is do I need to assign my UTM_Trigger to the w_trigger as well or do I even need to have a UTM trigger at all?

languid hornet
#

you shouldn't have such complex fire geometry in first place

#

in any case, I would probably just delete trigger from fire geo. Take a look at vanilla fire geometries for some inspiration

#

I would only probably animate stock if you intend to animate collapsing it but that's it

wind moon
#

So am I better off just deleting the colliders for the trigger, bolt, selector, and charging handles? Yeah. I hope to add the ability to fold it to the side eventually.

languid hornet
#

probably yes, keep it simple otherwise game will struggle when your weapon will be present in game world

#

Ok. I imported the new fbx w the bones installed but I still have no reload sounds. Any idea what might be causing that? Its a duplicate of an already made gun so all the sound files are the same.

Im not sure if its EBT directly or Workbench itself, but it seems exporting IK poses no longer actively updates the pose in a previewed world.

Is it possible to enable this again somehow? It was a massive timesaver for adjusting origin points and general pose tweaking.

How to set material in Blender to FireGeo?

I try set "Glass laminated 4mm" to "FireGeo" layer and export FBX.
Result: Gamemat Error in console, .meta file contains {536BF67B2052B869}material/metal.gamemat, however .XOB collider contains "code|default.gamemat" in WB.

I loaded SampleCar front windscreen and i see different way in FireGeo material:
its "None" material in "FireGeo" layer but i see Common\Materials\Game\Glass_laminated_4mm in material list.
How can i use this way? I tried copy but error when use \ or /.

i tried this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Enfusion_Blender_Tools:_Materials_Library but not see game materials there.

rare wharf
#

if i edit gamemat in import settings manually works fine, do i need it on all .xobs or possible set in Blender too?

languid hornet
#

Whenever you wanna changed Game material on any collider, first reset Geometry Parameters in Import Settings for an asset (.xob), otherwise new .gamemat won't be assigned and you will still see the old one.

This can be done in two ways:

By clicking with Right Mouse Button on Geometry Params property and selecting Reset do default value option
By clicking on arrow on the right side of Geometry Params property

Once that is done, Reimport resource button can be pressed. After resource was reimported, proper Layer Presets should be visible in the Geometry Params array.

It is only working on prefabs where source FBX are available - that means, you cannot use this function to edit read-only assets like Arma Reforger or downloaded mods.

Hello, I have a question as a total beginner with modding, etc.
Where can I find "Custom Properties" in Blender? I was following some tutorial https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Car_Creation/Asset_Preparation#Preparing_mesh I'm now at layer presets moment, and I don't really know where I can find that option. Also, I don't know if I made the collision geometry right, but I'll see later if it will work by any chance in-game 😅
Thanks in advance guys!

P.s BTW maybe I installed the Enfusion addon wrong because I only used the plugin zip, because I didn't know where I should put the data zip 😐

It’s a good page but for me personally it’s not intuitive when you are sat in blender and reading it the flow does not lead to a good import to enfusion its nothing big Just some kind of disassociating between print and actual . I will make another object and video it and see if the reason is personal or general

limber badge
#

It was usefull. One thing the FBX Import page fails to mention however is that you are required to create a prefab to get collisions working.
I do also think @winged lichen is right. The pages are bit jaring but i remember Arma 3 BIKI being a hot mess in first few years of release so not surprising xD

languid hornet
limber badge
#

Ok But how do you place a RigidGeometry component by itself? Every method i've seen used it is attached to a GenericEntity which i don't see as being that different from a prefab. It seems enfusion works kind of similarly to Unreal engine in its layout + structures hierachy.
