enfusion_model

[sand pagoda]

i have no idea how it determines when to emit light and when to not, but, this "magic" is not explained on wiki at all

[turbid moss]

Yeah, no idea, its black magic 😄

[digital basin]

is there a way to make a rgba file without using substance? It doesnt seem like photoshop is able to do an alpha channel

[sand pagoda]

well, i think i got it now

[shell hedge]

It can, just save as something that isnt PNG

[digital basin]

ahh okay ill try that thanks

ahh i think I got it to work. Thanks Bacon.

[hoary gazelle]

Got to crounch a little updated on addons today, with now the ability to add a custom bone on weapon and vehicle addon, as well as some bug fix with socket creation. Now you can just click on Edit , click on a face and add a socket to that point as in the video(on both addons ofc). Also added everyone to one place on github: https://github.com/steffenbk/Arma-Reforger-Addons/tree/main

[flint ivy]

Awesome work!

[sonic violet]

I'm trying to import this model into the engine, is it possible to convert GLBfiles to Enfusions native file format for this?
https://www.fab.com/listings/d5a58638-8f14-4a08-b9b7-e093b79a4d79

[stray bridge]

glb import into blender, export as fbx, imlort fbx into reforger tools

[sonic violet]

Mint, gotcha, thank you!

[stray bridge]

size will probably be totally off tho

rescale it in blender if needed

[sonic violet]

Alright, noted.

RQ

The preview sphere is supposed to show the material right?

And not just a white/grey sphere?

Oh wait, if I preview the material it shows, just not on the sphere in the editor.

FYI, I am a huge newbie to Blender and modeling

Oh

Material preview Wasn't on

HAHAHA

Okay, I went ahead and got the material to apply in Blender, exported and imported as FBX but the material was still blank in Enfusion

[remote palm]

I can confirm that this is a terrible attempt of increasing poly count since well… you dint have any sharp edges and most importantly it will not have the UV unwrap anymore :I
It looked so promising 🥲

[remote palm]

Yes, that is normal. You have to import the texture files into your “Data” folder and assign the corresponding texture files to your material.
You have to create a “BCR” and “NMO” texture.
BC = Base Color
R = Roughness

NM = Normal
O = Occlusion?

But the Arma DC has a specific channel for texture help - #enfusion_texture

[sonic violet]

Ohh, okay. I'll go on over there then

[steel hare]

Hej guys quick question
Would you prefer going for trim sheets when texturing larger assets (buidlings) or go for unique uv mapped textures?

[shell hedge]

I prefer doing like vanilla buildings

[compact scarab]

Yes it's occlusion

[steel hare]

Can you maybe elaborate? 🙂

[shell hedge]

Open vanilla building in workbench and check how the model and textures are setup

[steel hare]

it seems like they use a mixture of both? For buildings e.g. the brick texture ResourceManager/~ArmaReforger:Assets/_SharedData/Brick/ST_Bricks_Bare_01_BCR.edds is only a tileable brick texture as it seems (1k texture). No trimsheet or anything

[shell hedge]

The multi material is super fun

[last parcel]

indeed

[fossil crater]

@sonic violet NMO => Normal, Metalness and Occlusion. (RG, B, A respectively).

[remote palm]

Oh, sorry! I thought it was like Normal Map and Occlusion

[sly bridge]

the info is available on wiki, the direct link is pinned to #enfusion_texture channel

[remote palm]

Ik - i was just pulling it from my head - but after not touching stuff for about a month, some stuff gets lost.

[hybrid mountain]

My mesh is having issues with LODs, higher levels of LOD materials are being shown at larger distances, I have tried various overrides of LOD factors and it is still bugging out. I'm assuming 1.3 is forcing MIP level based on object complexity so I'm probably forced to decrease complexity of a mesh which is the size of two and a half LAVs?

[sonic violet]

😄

[sonic violet]

Thank you.

[remote palm]

Nice 🙂

[elder rune]

why mesh's can be so darknest

[elder rune]

resolve:

export like obj,

import in new scene, export to enfusion like fbx

Thanks for @tall swift (hell of the dayz is helping us future)

[tacit eagle]

what category does the farmhouse prefab fall into? It's in a prefab>structures but is it an object, composition, item, system?

[strange flint]

Hello everyone, kinda noobie question but do i need to manually create the view LODs in my modeling software or can i make then in enfusion? The wiki mentions an automatic method, that left me a bit confused

[wicked jasper]

You need to create them yourself. The engine handles the switch between the lods

[strange flint]

ahh ok thanks

[livid belfry]

Why does the USP prefix in blender tools not allow me to assign collider metadata to it?

Have mesh object named "USP_Ball"

Colliders Setup button is disabled for this object. If I rename it UCS for a capsule collider it allows me?

[livid belfry]

Figured it out. Create it first as UCS_thing, then rename to USP_thing and it imported fine.

[hoary gazelle]

completed my other addon for blender today. So now its very easy to make destructible parts for buildings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GqnsPzh5H8

Now you can make destructible parts for buildings like this

[nova granite]

wonder how performant this is at scale, since each client would have to sync each buildings individual wall/room state.

[hoary gazelle]

Every wall is its own prefab. Its more or less its own "building" in a sense. But when its gone, or destroyed its added as just an empty prefab

[remote palm]

Jesus thats really cool 😄
Can you also replace the "empty" prefab with a damaged version of the part that got destroyed? So it does´nt just dissapear 😄

[hoary gazelle]

yes its just to change the destruction prefab, i have it in the tutorial on how to change it

[hybrid mountain]

I have never seen this before. When I move the camera towards the back direction in the editor and in the world, my model disappears. Is this a 1.3 bug or something I can fix somehow...

[remote palm]

Check your face orientation in blender - thats probably your issue

[hybrid mountain]

It should still be visible based on camera angle, it's almost like the game is culling the entire mesh based on camera position. It's a lot to ask if someone can replicate this or just take a look at my fbx haha, it's a simple mesh plane probably 5inx5in in size

just, bloop

[steady halo]

anyone knows how to enable backface culling?

[neat canopy]

In the material settings there is this to change

[steady halo]

thanks!!

[neat canopy]

Do you have LOD´s in place?

[elder rune]

what's problem can be? Thank's in advance

RESOURCES (E): BSP mesh is not valid 'BSP_mdl'

[neat canopy]

Have you done all of these things like in the wiki?

[sand pagoda]

not triangulated, non planar faces, not closed geo, internal faces, non manifolds

[steady halo]

why is the model not overriding the material here?

[hybrid mountain]

Yep, still the same thing, not that LODs matter because it is literally a 2 polygon model

It is literally the most efficient model I have the capability of importing into the software. Wish I had a copy of 1.2 to test there.

Turning off cull fixes it but I would have to guess that there is something seriously wrong with the render pipeline post update

[mighty bronze]

Damn that's a fine lookin model.

[fluid fern]

Hi there, with the update I added the SCR_destructiblebuildingComponent for destruction.
So on this point no problem my building is well destroyed however my windows remain, with the help of Wolf we had fun to modify the interior property Query Bounding Boxes by putting a completely lunar scale but my windows still remain.
Do you have any idea? it's very strange!

[elder rune]

Does anyone know anything about the checkbox? -"Force Create Portals". When i turn off the param, i have 3 not working portals, other is working good. But when i turn on the checkbox, all portals working...

P.S. Sry for my english

[neat canopy]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Portals

Take a look here

[neat canopy]

So maybe you are missing a BSP?

[sand pagoda]

if some portals are working, and some are not, this is probably bsp problem, or maybe lack of other portals

[elder rune]

Nope, i have... But mb really bsp problem's, i will testing. Thanks

[elder rune]

Thank yo too

[neat canopy]

There should be some BSP error messages in the console that help. When you reimport the mesh

[hoary gazelle]

updated the destruction a bit when i found a new prefab had a lot more detailed setup than i expected. So can make holes in walls now soon 😉

[elder rune]

As i understand my problem is that vertical's (in screen)... But i can't optimize some more...

[neat canopy]

What does the Error Message say? Also triangulate your BSP mesh

[elder rune]

yeah when im import. im triangulate... This's video is my problem. Console say some warning

 RESOURCES (W): ExtractConvexEnvelope(): AreaPortal 'PRT_18' (3) doesn't have vertices assigned! Check the model, it's leaking.
 RESOURCES (W): ProcessAreasAndPortals(): AreaPortal 'PRT_18' (3) doesn't have reachable areas assigned!
 RESOURCES (W): ExtractConvexEnvelope(): AreaPortal 'PRT_12' (7) is larger than input data! Check the model, it's leaking.
 RESOURCES (W): ExtractConvexEnvelope(): AreaPortal 'PRT_14' (10) doesn't have vertices assigned! Check the model, it's leaking.
 RESOURCES (W): ProcessAreasAndPortals(): AreaPortal 'PRT_14' (10) doesn't have reachable areas assigned!
 RESOURCES (W): ExtractConvexEnvelope(): AreaPortal 'PRT_15' (11) doesn't have vertices assigned! Check the model, it's leaking.
 RESOURCES (W): ProcessAreasAndPortals(): AreaPortal 'PRT_15' (11) doesn't have reachable areas assigned!

But it's not that room portal's

[fluid fern]

Nobody had this problem?

[neat canopy]

The thing in the video is sometimes a Bug in the workbench preview, so try to check it out in the Worldeditor with a spawned player.
The Warnings are important and you should try to fix them to have proper portals in the end. Have you added Portals to the interrior doorways as well?

Also keep in mind that the Portals always should be a little bigger then the BSP windows holes or doorways.
If not, this would lead to the „it’s leaking“ warning

[elder rune]

it's video in world editor, when im character, it's working similar

[neat canopy]

Okay, but still try to remove the warnings first, maybe this fixes the problem in the end 🙂
I‘ll go to sleep now. Wish you the best. Hope you get it fixed. 👍

[elder rune]

Thank you very much, you safe my time, but i have just one last problem

[elder rune]

If you know some about that ) So sorry for concern

[elder rune]

And good night, pleasant dreams 😅

[neat canopy]

Do you mean the shadow on the joint of the walls?

[elder rune]

yeah

[neat canopy]

Could be a problem with a the portal volume in that room.

If it ends directly flat with the wall it can maybe cause such issues. But not 100% sure

Try to let it overlap a bit more if not allready

[elder rune]

Already,, but im will test ) Thank u very much

[steel hare]

really cool stuff you got there! Do you have a documentation for your tool somewhere?

[hoary gazelle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GqnsPzh5H8&feature=youtu.be

This is the basics, but making another video soon on how to do it as i did in the video above

[tidal latch]

what class are your windows?

GenericEntity?

StaticModelEntity is ignored by the system for instance

[fluid fern]

Its vanilla Windows

These Windows are in a prefab in generic entity my_building_furniture

[tidal latch]

why do you have windows in furniture prefab?

[fluid fern]

Because I've grouped everything together, would you advise me to put them directly in the building's prefab instead?

[tidal latch]

yes, like in vanilla assets

there is a tool which would snap windows to sockets based on their name

[fluid fern]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[last parcel]

Wait are you handplacing them ?

[fluid fern]

Euhhhh yes 😅 What's the magic tool?

[last parcel]

you place one of these where the windows axis point is and then do it like the vanilla buildings do.

[fluid fern]

Oh yes, all my buildings have sockets, and when I import the fbx they're clearly visible, but on enfusion I don't know the tool that automatically places windows and doors.

[last parcel]

under slot bone mapping

[fluid fern]

Hummmmmmmm okay, I'll have to go over all my prefab s again, but thanks for the info I didn't know.

[steel hare]

What the? How should one figure this out? Thanks a lot for sharing!
I read BI's tutorials but this somehow is not mentioned anywhere 😄 And after a few days this information will also disappear in the infinite vastness of this discord channel 😄

[last parcel]

well you just take a look at the prefabs from the game and p3d in the editor and just use reasoning in want it correspends to thats what i did atleast.

[crimson sail]

Does anyone have a good workflow video for Reforger uniforms > Substance > back to Reforger? Documents work as well. Not sure if I'd have to send the models to Blender first

[fluid fern]

Its work fine now, thanks you

[compact scarab]

Is there any way to adjust things like this while in game mode so I can see where it's being positioned?

[grand imp]

Should i make a Sig P320 or an HK P30L?

[grand imp]

I really don't know bud, i usually do it while in blender

[surreal ore]

The origin of the pistol should be where the hand is gonna be

[mighty bronze]

I just had a stooped idea
What if you took the animation rig, used the asset library animation, copy transforms and then edit there so if fits the hands.
Then transfer it back, everything should be normal just without copy transforms.

[compact scarab]

@grand imp sent me a blender template to line it up with that worked awesome.

Need to learn animation workflow now so I can make him hold it with 1 hand and new reload animation pulling back the hammer.

[compact scarab]

And I moved the origin per zeliks suggestion

[hoary gazelle]

Fine tuned the workflow for destruction of walls etc now. Can easy setup this now

[compact scarab]

Sweet. Care to share your workflow for it? I haven't touched the destruction yet.

I got my weapon creation workflow down though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjV2lzWSiuw

[hoary gazelle]

yes working on a video

[compact scarab]

Nice!

[solar heron]

I have a Problem with using UDIMs i want to make this wall and roof with udims to spread multiple textures over the whole Wall/Roof but if i load in the model i don't know how i setup everything. How i tell Enfusion that the Walls have Multiple UDIM Tiles? In The Picture 2 you see that its messed up...because enfusion uses just one material instead of 5 ... the 3rd Picture is in Substance were everything is fine. Some Ideas?

[sly bridge]

afaik Reforger doesn't use UDIMs

hency why multimats

[calm rune]

Do you have the scaling right?

[compact scarab]

Idk it's a bought model. The handle fits right but the rest looks a bit big. I'll measure it some time and see.

its 15.5" in real life

[solar heron]

Did someone were i can find the wiki where its writen how i setup buildings in Blender? Cant find this anymore...was somewhere in the bitstudio site i think. But this website is totaly weird to me.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation/Asset_Preparation

There was something like this.. But for buildings

[vestal quarry]

Not sure if this is what you saw previously, I don't do buildings but I know a few things regarding them are mentioned in here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import

[solar heron]

Thanks man. Thats it 👍🏻

[cold vector]

Anyone know why my guy doesn't seem to be holding the L85A3 I'm so thoughtfully modding in for him? Lol

I've been using the weapon creation tutorial on the wiki

[vestal quarry]

damn that's quite rude of him. What did you use as your base prefab?

[cold vector]

Rifle_Base.et

I think the issue is I'm testing too early? Maybe?

I haven't done animations yet

[cerulean patio]

When I export a vest to Reforger, it comes with 1-230 bones and not 1-229. Do u guys know how to solve this?

[vestal quarry]

It's probably that. The WeaponAnimationComponent is empty by default https://i.imgur.com/gA5Uj3r.png but you can plug in some vanilla stuff temporarily if you want to. https://i.imgur.com/6OHAfiA.png

[cold vector]

It doesn't seem to like me much

although...

is the tutorial outdated?

^ the tutorial shows the gun being off to the side

once added to the rig

[grand imp]

Hey there bud, make sure your weight are where they're supposed to be

[grand imp]

And you gotta check if your EntityPosition object is parented to the Armature as a bone

[grand imp]

Are you looking to make an idle pose for the rifle?

If so:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Animation/Basic_Tutorial

Take a look at "Adding Weapon to Scene"

Pretty much explains the basics of the animations, and btw make sure to parent absolutely everything to the Armature on the "Object" properties.

[crimson sail]

Alright boys, so I've made a uniform patch in Blender. It was then textured in Substance Painter. I'm completely lost as to what to do now. How do I put this in game?

https://i.gyazo.com/e2eb25501e781c21721137cdc5d6f8a2.png

[spiral hedge]

Guys, how i can prevent light coming into a room? My Model does not have any Portals (complete close BSP and PRTVOL). I disabled Sky, Terrian, Ocean in the EnvProbe, but there is still light inside the room.

[shell hedge]

Not possible since the engine doesnt simulate light realistically

You need probe volume with fake darkness like vanilla buildings

[spiral hedge]

even, when i turn down all sliders, its much to bright

[honest pine]

#enfusion_model message check this and message above it could help

[honest pine]

ctrl+shift+E to export your textre, choose arma reforger profile (BCR+NMO) if you don't have it download the profile from here https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Misc/tree/main/Art/Substance Export Profiles(drag and drop the files into resource window in painter)

next you import your png texture into workbench and you assign them to a new material

[tidal latch]

can you show all bones that you have in game?

[wooden wolf]

Im stuck, i made this billboard and i have uploaded it to workshop thinking it will show up as placeable item in GM, but its not showing, any help to make this show up in GM would be greatly appreciated

[stray bridge]

[solar heron]

Since 1.3 i get this error in Blendertools. i want to make a collider setup...if i click on the button this error apears in console. any workarounds? or is there a update for blendertools?

[spiral hedge]

What can be wrong if MaterialOverride of a CLoth item is not working? I have 9 times the same shirt with different Materials (Colors) 8 of them working fine but the 9th will not accept the override. If i check it in the world, it always shows the Default Material, if i than change the Override, it shows the correct one. But after Restarting workbench or Testing in Playmode its again the Default one. This drives me crazy for 4 hours now and i did nothing different than the other 8 shirts.

btw. i also tryed to give the Material and also the "BaseLoadoutClothComponent" a new GUID and reimport. But this also does not change anything

[spiral hedge]

Install the new Version from your Steam directory

[polar dew]

Is it possible to bake Mlods for vanilla models? If I understand correctly you would normally import the model into blender for that, which is impossible because it's a vanilla object. I have some vanilla object where I changed the materials and I now want to change the mlod to reflect that.
Otherwise I will just have to paint the texture myself.

[surreal ore]

I thought I seen a plugin for that somewhere.

[polar dew]

There is a "Bake MLod" plugin in the worldEditor, but it does nothing on it's own. It's just a tool window with text. No Button to do something. 🤔

[surreal ore]

You probably have to have a prefab opened. Not a world

[wicked dirge]

in your MeshComponent do you have a .xob or a .et? There was a bug related to this when using xobs, while you can also make a very simple prefab and put that in. See vanilla cloth

[spiral hedge]

Mesh:

Its exactly like the 8 other shirts

But this will always spawn in default Blue

[wicked dirge]

check vanilla

its random

it will work on some, then randomly be bad on others

but basically in the object field you dont have to link a xob, you link another simple prefab instead

[shell hedge]

.et works 100% of the time, .xob/material overrides work depending on the weather

[wicked dirge]

indeed, but inspect whats in vanilla, as the target .et is not a full fledged one, just some simple dummy

that one is actually pointing to the xob

[spiral hedge]

Original also using XOB

[spiral hedge]

Dont ask me, but after 4 restarts of workbench its now working...

[spiral hedge]

Lets move to the next problem 😄

Is this a problem of BSP ? PORTALS or BOXVOL ? I use the regular EnvProbe from Airfield_Bunker

[bitter grove]

How’re you guys modeling your clothes in blender? Using shrink wrap or cloth sewing… what’s the best way do you think

[wraith sundial]

<@&105621371547045888> could any of you help clear up the use of model sources, as long as I use the listed license correctly I am fine to use it right?

[delicate condor]

what kind of sources?

[wraith sundial]

There's a market on FAB called vigilante as well as the usuals, like sketchfab and cgtrader

[delicate condor]

well there is frankly a lot of ripped models on those sites

so if you buy ripped stuff and it ends up being found out

you bear the consequences

[wraith sundial]

But there's no way for me to find that out so as long as I prove I didn't know and had no mal intentions then it wouldn't be right, legally that's on the seller/poster for stealing the model?

[delicate condor]

no you are repsonsible

[wraith sundial]

Legally or just from your guys' perspective/ bi

[delicate condor]

legally

when you upload stuff to workshop you agree you have rights to what you upload

so you have to be sure you have rights to it

[wraith sundial]

Yes and as far as I would know I have the rights because I'm using the posted license on whatever site I get it from, I'm not violating the oc's eula/ license as I didn't steal it the poster did

[delicate condor]

but if it ends up being ripped the license you have bought is void

you might avoid being banned.

but it will get removed

and you lose your money

and all the work that went into the mod

you dont get to keep stolen car you buy either

[wraith sundial]

Ok I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't like strike/ ban me from posting on workshop, I understand that risk of buying models it's just I don't want to be kept from posting in the future if I didn't know the model was stolen

[delicate condor]

you can always ask around here for opinions on stuff you want to buy and what kind of reputation sellers have

cheap game ready models are very often taken from somewhere

the scam relies on sale volume

and that even if people find out they dont talk about it or care because it was not much money

[sly bridge]

vigilante studios provides the assets for unreal only. Their license prohibits extraction of files

from the provided packages

[mighty bronze]

Oof

[gusty hatch]

Hi all, is mesh reimport not working for anyone else? When I reimport it's not importing the updated mesh.

having to delete a mesh and import fresh isn't great. It was working before the last update.

[wispy summit]

Same for me

[fleet robin]

hi there! is there any way to import reforger model to blender for learning reason? im not going to share it or use in projects, i just wanted about mesh decisions and proportions of some things

im sorry for such basic question

[mighty bronze]

Quick answer, no you can't, encrypted models.

Long answer, no you can't, encrypted models.
But there is a animation rig that uses the US army man (I believe sample character) and sample weapon creation has a model of the grommet rifle from arma contact dlc

https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/Arma-Reforger-Samples

[fleet robin]

aww :( well i needed ural since im making one of its ussr modifications

can i see mesh somewhere at least?

but thank you!

[mighty bronze]

The workbench does give you to view all models in game
including things like rocket pods in the first exp 1.2 branch

I do not have access to my computer, but I think the base model Ural is not the assembled truck so you can view and or attach stuff to it

[mighty bronze]

Out of curiosity what kind of ural?

[fleet robin]

Ural 5920

[mighty bronze]

Diet object 279

[uneven vessel]

How are people organising their blend files for vehicles? With all the separate VehParts there's about 20 different .fbx exports- are people making separate blend files for each light/door/etc.?

[fleet robin]

Why would you need separate blend files?

You can export selected objects as fbx instead of transporting selected object to separate blend and only then export it

I have like hundred of objects in same blend file

[mighty bronze]

Collections are in option as well
Tldr in software folders for your models
Ie group up your doors in a collection called doors, then you can export via active/visible collection

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/scene_layout/collections/collections.html

[tidal latch]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Character_Gear_Creation/Vest/Asset_Preparation#Batch_FBX_Export try this perhaps

[uneven vessel]

aha thank you all, very useful 🙏

[mighty bronze]

Lol I never viewed this tutorial before glad I'm somewhat on point tho

[uneven vessel]

great minds think alike

[mighty bronze]

Nah i consider it more of sharing the one braincell

[fleet robin]

like currently im working on interior and i would like to compare proportions to arma ural to know if im making it correctly

[burnt temple]

Trying to export trees from Speedtree to Enfusion. In Speedtree it looks normal. But when imported into enfusion it looks like shit. Any idea what went wrong?

[turbid moss]

Change emat class to matpbrtreecrown?

[burnt temple]

same. But it's moving with the wind now though

[turbid moss]

Do you have opacity map

[burnt temple]

nope

I haven't figured that part out yet

😭

what is opacity map look like? R,G,B channel all the same and Alpha nothing?

[spiral hedge]

Anyone?

[turbid moss]

Only red channel black/white mask
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Textures

[burnt temple]

OK. thanks

[last parcel]

could be the Boxvol not importing correctly any errors/warnings in the log ?

[spiral hedge]

No nothing, also Portals look fine

[last parcel]

the thing is that it looks almost like the boxvol is either damaged somehow, almost like due it not being perfectly aligned making it not import correctly

[spiral hedge]

my BOXVOL is just a simple box 😄 Does it need any special setup?

[cold vector]

Anyone know why on a custom gun I can't seem to reload at all? I have the magazine config set up on my prefab, it just does nothing when I hit R

[mighty bronze]

Made sure that the magazine wells match?

[cold vector]

Yeah, like the game recognizes I have more magazines in my inventory (i.e. it shows "4" next to the mag icon), it just does nothing when I go to reload

[mighty bronze]

Hmmmmm

Ngl I just got in bed after a 3rd shift and I'm tired af
Idk if I can help rn

[cold vector]

I wonder if it's because of missing player anims... I thought I did them all, but

This gun is a bullpup, so actually that would make sense

[mighty bronze]

You set up all the animations in rhe animation editor right?

[cold vector]

Yeah, I may be missing a player reload anim though

[mighty bronze]

Should be a green circle next to the reloads on the sheet in your workspace.
If they're Grey they're missing
Also if you did custom animations they sont have any events (like attach/detach/spawn/despawn magazine)

[cold vector]

player or weapon animations?

[mighty bronze]

Player animations
Weapon animations only sync with player

[cold vector]

alright

there's an animation but it does nothing seemingly

[mighty bronze]

Ye child models will not play animations
Select the l85 model and if should play
(Under preview models)

[cold vector]

Another issue I have is that when I go to lean side to side, I seem to rock back and forth?

[last parcel]

well it needs the dummyvolume material. that should be all just make sure there is not any rotation on it and that it covers the entire room/building completly + abit more into it.

[cold vector]

Here's a video of the issue. When the mag just disappears that's when I hit R

[mighty bronze]

You should like send. Picture of you'd weaponanimatipn component

[mighty bronze]

Okay after skill issuing my way out of not getting out of bed
Check always active and try again

And follow up if that don't work
Are you able to see the player animations in the animation editor?

[cold vector]

It didn't work sadly

[mighty bronze]

Damn I'm a failure ;(

[cold vector]

Also here's the player animation set

Still broken 😦

[mighty bronze]

So I know why

[mighty bronze]

You ain't got no player animations

[cold vector]

Fun

[mighty bronze]

Grey circle = no anim assigned

This'll be a great one to try and do then

[cold vector]

Yeah but specifically for the player reload animations

There's only a tutorial for the IK offset

[mighty bronze]

The video actually goes over nla editor to make bullpulp anims for the grommet

[cold vector]

Oh useful, okay

[mighty bronze]

Honestly I stopped at the nla so idk how much detail they go into
Because their ain't no anim that is close to a gustaf

[cold vector]

I'll go through the tutorial and hopefully it fixes my issues 🙂

Thanks Star, appreciate it

[mighty bronze]

Also I think the wiki tut uses the ak74 work space which has no bolt release animation setup, I'd use the m16 workspace if you want bolt release AND slide animations

Idk what voodoo magic causes but sometimes the m16 uses the bolt slide (instead of bolt release button) animation is why I mention it

[spiral hedge]

Than i did all correctly.

[last parcel]

have you tried a diffrent ENV probe ? like the base one,

[burnt temple]

OK. Tree is working now. Here is another issue. Why LOD0 shows no leaves but LOD2 shows it. I though LOD2 is a rougher version of LOD 0

[spiral hedge]

Yeah, but all settings i try will not change the overbright. It looks like the inside of the room is fully under control of the sun.

[last parcel]

have you checked to see if the boxvol is inversed

[burnt temple]

Problem solved. Turned out to be a SpeedTree bug.😅

[spiral hedge]

Yes. if i select the probe, the box will be selected and also the size locks fine

[last parcel]

No i mean, if it not accidently like this that the normals are going to the inside instead of out

an other problem could be there is a giant hole somewhere that you havent spotted yet 😛

[spiral hedge]

Uhh normals need to inside?

[last parcel]

No the picture shows if it looked like that its setup wrong.

[spiral hedge]

ok, normals are on the outside.

Could it be a problem, that i do not have outside walls?

So, my walls are just plains

[last parcel]

Oh yes that be the issue

[spiral hedge]

Argh, was thinking i can make it as two parts

ok, then let me add some walls

[last parcel]

just tried on a quick example and yes that is most likely going to be the issue you are having,

[spiral hedge]

i now created some outside walls, but still the same 😦

[last parcel]

hmm, then I don't know what could be the issue.

[mighty bronze]

Ignore that ping I just woke up

[grand notch]

What is your problem

[spiral hedge]

All Prefabs (Character) inside the room glowing

#enfusion_model message

[grand notch]

Holy fuck

I thought you were just trying to import but I’ve never seen that before

[grand notch]

DM?

[spiral hedge]

DM?

[burnt temple]

The model looks a bit blown out than in the prefab editor. How to make them match?

[mighty bronze]

Model viewer is a Grey world with no specular map
So either the sun is making your mesh brighter or your material is very shiny

[burnt temple]

Thank you!

[latent silo]

Anyone know of any good guides on modeling for enfusion? I want to make buildings for reforger but havent done anything for this engine before

[whole epoch]

I added a "MatTerrianObject" around my building and now grass grows on the side of the building (way above the plane). Any ideas?

[spiral hedge]

@tidal latch Hi, who can i ask about this problem? Because no one here seems to know a solution. Thanks

[hexed sandal]

From what you can see you have badly cast the meshes that collide the light to generate shadows.

The problem seems to be more in the building than in the soldier.

[spiral hedge]

The BSP is as simple as i can make it. And if i check the Debug ingame, also the Volumes are created correctly

[faint viper]

For building i would say is the easiest thing, you just build them inside blender or whatever you want, make colliders and thats it, you make the doors separate since they will have an animation and a different prefab with components

[hexed sandal]

Have you checked that the normal ones are correct?
I don't know about now, but in my day we couldn't make angles greater than 180º. We solved that scenario by creating cubes to make all the walls independent.

is a rather complex model for generating the collisions of light rays.

[spiral hedge]

Its a prison with cells. And i dont think i can split the BSP into different meshes. Normals are fine and all is 90°

[spiral hedge]

i already removed 50 verts, but did not changed anything

i just dont like to have any sunlight in the room. i will light it up with Entitys. But currently the full sun is bright up all prefabs in the room. i already removed the diffuse from the Materials, otherwise also the Walls are tinted (depending on the outside weather and sun angle)

[hexed sandal]

Maybe you do not have well closed entrances with gates and some of the outside environment enters and it is not an airtight place.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Portals

Note that the portal is slightly larger than the BSP and passes through it (I assume to ensure that it is completely closed).

[spiral hedge]

Portal:

[hexed sandal]

Well, if you meet all the BSP standards, I can't think of any other.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#BSP_Geometry

[spiral hedge]

i was on that page the last 4 days

[hexed sandal]

It is difficult without seeing your model, understand...

[spiral hedge]

i can send you a scetch if you like to help

[hexed sandal]

send me the XOB that is binarized to preserve the original.

[spiral hedge]

You cannot see BSP/BOXVOL in XOB

[tidal latch]

There is better documentation coming for BOXVOL and portal but I don't know the ETA when it will be available on Wiki

In some upcoming version of Workbench, there should be also tools to debug boxvol inside of workbench (like, see it in xob)

[hexed sandal]

visible using Diag_Menu*(Win+Alt)*->Render->Light_portals->BSP diag enabled
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Diag_Menu#BSP_diag

yes it is possible...

[latent silo]

Alright sweet thank you

[hazy path]

go into top ortho view and paint default terrain mat underneath your structure

[hexed sandal]

When I look at the other buildings, the BSPs are more squares separated by portals.
I think your building is too complicated. maybe you should put portals in each cell and optionally a portal between the first and second floor...

[spiral hedge]

i will try.. im so bored from this

[spiral hedge]

i now added a Portal for each cell, but on import i get the following message:

 RESOURCES    : r_BuildBspTree(): Found 58 faces that were incident with selected split plane!
    Check model, it possibly has many almost coplanar faces producing too many similar split planes.
 RESOURCES    : Build successful
PROFILING    : Rebuilding took: 1005.132000 ms

If i debug, each cell have a different color box.

[solar heron]

I build some Concrete Road and Ground Prefabs for my Rocketbase. But now i have the Problem that vehicles don't drive on it. i went with a car on it and get stuck. what is to do to tell the engine that i can drive on this model?...walking, collision and fire view works fine.

[solar heron]

So i need the colliders also as a FireGeo? 👍🏻

[spiral hedge]

This are the original colliders from a bridge. make sure to use the same layers (also Static, Navmesh...)

Two Colliders: 1x Building 1x FireView

[solar heron]

How i can add these interaction layers?

[spiral hedge]

You can set the layers in Blender Material Tools or on the import settings of your model

[solar heron]

Hmm i will try tomorrow. So i can choose multiple things for one collider?

[spiral hedge]

Nope you need two colliders

[solar heron]

Yes.. But in the picture is in one collider: static, navmesh, navmesh vehicle
And in the other one is: FireGeometry and ViewGeometry

[spiral hedge]

If you use "Building" it will be used for "Static, Navmesh and NavmeshVehicle"... FireView will be use "ViewGeo and FireGeo"

[solar heron]

Aaahh..now the little switch in my brain is switched on. 👍🏻

[spiral hedge]

Viel Spaß

[solar heron]

Danke dir... Werd es morgen mal testen

[turbid moss]

Why not buildingfireview?

[spiral hedge]

Dont know if this will also use Navmesh

Just checked original bridge

[turbid moss]

I have very simple bridge and it work ok.

[solar heron]

So i just copy the colliders and put the other settings in this...why they used trimesh...isnt this expensive?

I have multiple UBX Colliders. And for the ramp UCX...

[compact scarab]

Utm is mesh collider so yeah expensive but still not going to affect anything unless you have a ton of them

I guess relatively expensive but engines can handle tons of polygons or triangle these days. As long as the physics aren't "active" shouldn't be a problem

[solar heron]

Okay. So for this Road thing its okay...i dont have a huge amount of polygons...max 200 or so for the straight

[compact scarab]

I use them for a lot of things and my performance is fine still. Right now most of my colliders are UTM still getting 60 FPS

200 polygons is absolutely negligible

The engine can probably handle a million polygons Or more. Maybe not quite that many but a ton anyway

Another thing you can do is get a plug-in that uses the algorithm/library I forget the name of it. But it estimates a mesh collider with a series of simple colliders automatically.

https://blender-addons.org/collider-tools/

That's one. I think it's free on his GitHub also

[solar heron]

@compact scarab cool that plugin looks nice. i will put this on my list for tomorrow 👍🏻

[compact scarab]

I had one that used the same library for unity I used it all the time.

[spiral hedge]

Maybe there is another idiot like me and have such problem in the future... do not try to fix your model / bsp / boxvol... first check if "cast shadows" on MeshObject is turned on. 😦

[hollow hornet]

is something like this @ 25k poly count fine for LOD0? (3d modeling newbie)

[sullen charm]

That’s a bit much for a rifle, a lot of that count is coming from fine details which can be baked onto a lower poly model

[hollow hornet]

dually noted, thanks

[last parcel]

that is not much. even the ak74 is 41k in polycount so you are more then fine with 25k.

[wicked dirge]

if you open a vasnilla rifle xob in Workbench you can inspect how many poligons it has, this shuold give you a good idea. Forxample we saw in BIS models after 1.2 with addition of new weapons, the polycount doubled from the ones that cae with the game from the start

[hollow hornet]

great, thanks a lot wolf and assassin!

[bleak depot]

okay thx. i have recreate the emat and delete old file. worked too 🙂

Anybody know where to adjust offset for worn model of a backpack?

[gusty hatch]

If you need to do it for that backpack in general you can do it via offset in the models import options

[compact scarab]

That is great to know also, but I think it might not work because I only need it for the model when it is being worn.

That might mess with the pickup version of it I'm thinking.

I guess I could just duplicate the model huh

[gusty hatch]

pickup version should be a different item model. If you are using the same model for item just duplicate the worn model, rename it with _item to use as item, then reimport on the original

[magic bear]

I'm hoping to find someone here that can help point me to the answer I'm looking for. I have some CAD design experience but thought my question was for textures but they said to come here. The question is how to create the entity that I need to make a decal just like the one on the helicopter. The one that says "United States Army" on the tail/boom of the helicopter. As well as to place it on the model where I would like it to be at. Thanks!

[light sphinx]

how do you add sandbags, camo net, etc to vanilla vehicles?

[surreal ore]

All clothing items need a "ground model" and a "worn model" the worn model must be rigged and share the same skeleton as the character.

From what I've seen, you're using an unrigged model as the worn model and expecting to adjust it's offset. And that's not how that works.

[compact scarab]

Okay yeah I know they need to be rigged but I didn't know that the offset was related I was just learning the other part of setup until they get rigged. I just ended up adjusting it in blender and got it kind of where I wanted it on worn variant. I'll wait till it's rigged to do it right

[surreal ore]

It takes 2 seconds in Blender lol

Just rig the backpack ffs

Hello everyone, I'm asking for your help.
I'm new to 3D modelling, and to do this I first want to import a pre-made model into Arma Reforger.
However, my model being imported, when I use it in-game, I notice that in first person it hides my visibility (photo attached).
I've tried looking in the settings, but I can't find the solution. Can anyone help me?

[surreal ore]

Inherit from the helmet base prefab

Duplicate one of the vanilla worn helmet materials

use the duplicated material for your worn item

Otherwise you'll have to create a material with the correct settings and create a prefab with the correct settings and add a ParametricMaterialInstanceComponent and give it the correct settings.

[elfin epoch]

Okay thx, I'm trying that

[surreal ore]

Also not sure why you didn't bother reading the wiki

@small apex

[small apex]

Lol i said fuck it n moved on ill comeback to it later now im working on a phone

[mighty bronze]

new model on that right
god why do normal map baking have to be so painful

I'm using blender
Cage with setting at 0.1 meter, reset normal vectors, cleared custom data in vertex settings.
Trying to bake from subdivided down to low poly and I get two different results on these two rounds (the roughness and color of the base layer texture is the same in substance)

I'm also using 32 bit depth so artifacts shouldn't be happening(which doesn't seem to br the case just specular normal mapping being wonky)

[wicked dirge]

you need to respect the rules of shading to improve the results. First make sure you introduce sharp edges correctly on the Low poly. Then make sure that the UV island borders correspond to the sharp edges. This is a fundamental rule of baking correctly.

[mighty bronze]

Clarification I mean in the right
Those are two different models with different looking specular (from Nirmal maps)

I'm getting back on to look into it more

[wicked dirge]

Normal map does not do anything about specularity, that is handled by metalness and roughness, but indeed if the shading is incorrect, you might start seeing specular reflections where you shouldnt

[mighty bronze]

when you state sharp edges you mean the mark sharp like this right? (I know the seam is off)

[wicked dirge]

yes

and everywhere you have a sharp edge you should have a UV border

[mighty bronze]

k attempt #69

[mighty bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/parks-and-rec-parks-and-recreation-tom-haverford-tom-i've-looked-at-this-for-5-hours-now-gif-7085967451429741151

I might need to reduce those ridges, they're barely noticable in pictures of the real round
but holy shit

you don't know how much I want to cry right now because no guide or help forum I found mentioned making sure the sharps matched seams
I've been having trouble with this on and off for probably years now

oops I forgot to reimport the texture for the heat round guess that's why the band was so noticable

[gleaming totem]

isn't that what it does ? change the angle of the specular reflections

[wicked dirge]

angle yes, strength no

[wicked dirge]

yeah it rather strange that this is not point number one in every baking tutorial and basically produces the right result every time. In fact this is really the ONLY strict rule to follow! So much so that most 3D software alows you to auto unwrap your model by sharp edges. So my typical flow is: finish model, ensure the sharp edges are defined properly (a lot of time you can select edges by angle and do mark sharp and 80% is done, then just cleanup). then automatically unwrap (make seam first, then unwrap) by sharp edges, again for 80% this works fine. Come back and add seams where appropriate for things like cylinders (on smooth edges you can put a uv seam wherever you like!!!!) and then just pack everything nicely. You are ready to bake.

I tried asking a couple times in textures, yesterday, which I thought was the right place. But I'm gonna try here too. Here's a copy and paste of my question there:
Hey, I'm new to this side of things, so be gentle 😉 is there a good tutorial for the export, import, and editing of the EDDS image files? my goal is I'm trying to put together a arsenal of modded weapons and I want to make a few green and yellow EDDS files for the overlay of battle use and damage. I'm not a huge fan that most modded weapons looks like some Chad just bought it at Cabela's 15 minutes ago. I want to Export a BI EDDS(probably the one for the M16 suppressor), for a reference start point and edit/resize it to match what I want. I Don't have the option to Duplicate to my folder so I know it's a different process, but I'm unclear on my next steps. Please and thank you

[stray bridge]

you cannot export base game textures

import is just drag and drop .tif or .png files into ur mod

[fresh lion]

So if I wanted to make an image that was like the green and yellow one they use for the nicks, marks, and wear, where would I learn to do that specifically. Im not a fan that a lot of modded weapons look like some Chad just bought it at Cabela's 15 minutes ago. These are supposed to be tools used by virtual "soldiers". I'd like my stuff to look battle tested rather than brand new

[stray bridge]

you can use eg substance painter to do ur texturing work.
But this is only possible for custom weapons, for proper texturing you need the mesh / the uv maps. Which you dont get from the base game weapons. You cant export those

[fresh lion]

These are modded weapons. I've been swapping the base image and playing with settings and I'm pretty happy with my results. Except they look brand new. The original modded weapons and my version look like they've seen little to no action. One of the images in the EMAT for the vanilla, 5.56, sand stripe suppressor is a green and yellow image that contains the knurled, diamond pattern, stamped writing, and nicks and wear. I could integrate this kind of image easily because the weapons mod I use doesn't use or have the camo section in their EMAT. If I make a EMAT with the section I can make a pretty decent asset skin. But I'm lacking knowledge of the making the image for damage and wear with transparent parts and wear to add to my assets. If you know of, or think of any resources to go pick this apart and learn, Id be appreciative, I'm a fairly quick learner

[stray bridge]

google and youtube

[fresh lion]

I've tried. EDDS doesn't pertain to a specific file type. And as for the yellow and green image that hides certain parts of a background image, no idea what a proper name is for the image or if it's even yellow and green in other editors. Hard to use Google a lot when you're so new and know so little. Thanks though. I appreciate you, homie

Hi everyone, i need some help😭... I make some dev for 3D models and it's my first time on enfusion workbench . i want to upload a rules panel in my serv, so i make panel (3d model )with blender but when i go in the workbench i can't put my edds in my texture. The defaut is "creating new material to replace the place holder"
"Ressources : failed to retrieve relative path"
"Defaut : failed to create new material".
I'm french but i can speak in english.
if people can help me please 😭😭😭😭thank you

what are these GEO_skin/noSkin bones used for on the UH1H Huey model?

[fallow osprey]

got the model done

but what do i do next?

whoops wrong game area

[mortal marsh]

Anybody having collider setup issues with the Blender tools for Enfusion today?

[mortal marsh]

I also had this issue yesterday and after checking my face orientation about 300 times I still had issues

Now I think about it, I wonder if there Blender addon has been updated and I havent updated it?

[bitter grove]

I think I remember someone saying there was an update for the blender addon. I would check that first

[mortal marsh]

Aye, im praying to god its that haha

Pulling my hair out today!

[mortal marsh]

How big is the size limit for objects? Ive created this HQ building in Blender but the colliders dont work if I import it all in one

By size limit, I mean specifically distance wise, not vertices or faces - Thats already way beneath the required limit

[compact scarab]

Can anybody give me an overview basic workflow of how to rig a new piece of clothing in blender with auto rig Pro for enfusion?

[stray bridge]

nothing the console tells you on import?

also if we talking about colliders, would be good you show them

[mortal marsh]

@stray bridge Yeah fair enough, my bad!

Nothing in the log 😦

Heres the collider and its associated stats in Blender

[last parcel]

Split that building up and then reattach it with diffrent Prefabs in the editor instead, as having that many Colliders + that high of a polycount with just Colliders is only going to lead to performance issues, + you are going to have alot of more problems when creating the BSP for the building, with the Lightportals and Portal Volumes.

[mortal marsh]

Thanks for the advice mate 🙂 How did you manage it with your School Building? Seems thats a single xob?

[last parcel]

it had alot of less colliders then you have currently + lower in polygon LOD 0 is like 28k polygons, and the highest counted on my collider is 11k in total all around.as i think the max polycount for colliders is at 25k

also i took a hot min to import it when adding the BSP stuff.

[mortal marsh]

Good to know! Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated 🙏

[mortal marsh]

Hundreds of hours in Blender over the past few months and Ive only just learned you can 'walk' through your model 😐

[shell hedge]

The what

[hexed sandal]

Sorry if I get confused @mortal marsh, wouldn't it be easier since the buildings are repeated, make them separate and at the end create a composition?

[mighty bronze]

Are you talking fpv camera mode?

[mortal marsh]

Probably, sort of wish I had began with that in mind!

[mortal marsh]

Yeah, I didnt realise you can use the camera like you might a freecam to get the 'first person' effect without having to scroll in to zoom

https://streamable.com/7xvstm

[stray bridge]

press tab and you can actually „walk“ too

[mortal marsh]

I eventually found the problem with this - Thought I'd post incase anybody ever searches for something similar.

So I was able to import the collider eventually as a single UTM (however inadvisable this might be)

The issue, it turns out, was that in using boolean modifiers to create doors & windows it had created a small amount of non-manifold areas, these were causing the collider to fail upon import (although the log wasnt stating this)

I fixed the issue by creating a new, very simple collider, comprised entirely of cubes with no knife projects or booleans used 🙂

[ornate walrus]

Hey so im trying to add a custom fire hydrant model and i can walk right through it , I have a collider I've tried UBX and UTM with no success any tips?

[turbid moss]

Add rigidbody component?

[ornate walrus]

I have these so far

so if i select static it works but my bullets go right through it

[turbid moss]

What collider layer u used in model?

[ornate walrus]

you mean type ?

[turbid moss]

y

[chilly dragon]

Like the collider preset. Eg propfireview

[turbid moss]

Both static and geometry enabled?

[ornate walrus]

oh i used firegeo

lemme double check

[ornate walrus]

what should i use in this case?

[turbid moss]

propfireview should be ok

[shell hedge]

You could save a lot of time by simply comparing your thing to a vanilla thing... check what colliders vanilla props use, what layers they use, and do your props like vanilla...

[tidal latch]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Prop_Creation#Creating_prefab also here is more info

[ornate walrus]

@turbid moss @chilly dragon Thanks boys got it to work!

[compact scarab]

Anybody willing to remote into my PC and rig one piece of clothing in blender for me to show me how to do it.

I should be doing it on the Character_Weights_Template yes?

[tidal latch]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Character_Gear_Creation take a look here

youtube also have quite a lot tutorials about transfering weights and rigging by hand

[compact scarab]

Thanks I had seen the helmet one but missed the vest one somehow

[compact scarab]

Yay breakthrough.

[compact scarab]

Is there a list of submeshes / body parts to hide somewhere?

Whats torso called? I tried torso and chest and not hiding it

[shell hedge]

Yeah in the vanilla character model

And in the identity config of the... faction or character I forget

[compact scarab]

nice ty

I looked on the import settings of the base character mesh but not on the prefab

[shell hedge]

Why import settings? Look at the mesh list

[compact scarab]

Thats what I meant. I didnt see submeshes on it but its early maybe i overlooked it

[shell hedge]

All meshes of all mesh assets should be listed there

[compact scarab]

Oh its in the LOD section thats why

ty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bAzpBjlLLE

Is this where reference pose comes into play? Do I need to match it to the clothing?

[shell hedge]

I always rig in the default A pose

[compact scarab]

Ah yes im dumb

ty

[halcyon dew]

I am trying to import a new car model. Unfortunately all textures seem to be one sided? Exported the model from Blender.

[compact scarab]

There's an option for it on the material

Its called culling or something and you have to disable it for it to be double-sided

[halcyon dew]

Got it, thanks!

[young wind]

I have collider but no colision when player steps on nor hits

[young wind]

hm wtf in diag it dosnt have any collision

[shell hedge]

gm_flatgrass

[last parcel]

becuse you haven't clicked on Model Geometry in the rigidbody.

[young wind]

Yep that was the issue, thought it was for using the mesh geometry itself, weird naming

[last parcel]

well there is a wiki for a reason to help with this sort of stuff.

[young wind]

Anyone knows if there option to import fbx that have vertex paint without it effecting the model textures?

[compact scarab]

Anybody know how this happens so I can fix it?

exported from blender 4.2

gotta be some kind of record

[tidal latch]

you can open txo in txt file and see what is generating so much data

[shell hedge]

to be fair

what is txo for?

and wat is xob for

[tidal latch]

xob is binary form of txo

[shell hedge]

okie

so why do you need both

[tidal latch]

I'm not at work today but I remember this question being asked on Slack few times. I might check it in 2 weeks

[cold rune]

Might be a dumb question but how do i set my custom LODs?

[stray bridge]

look how base game did it, always a good idea to check that first

[wicked dirge]

check the wiki

[dim nimbus]

i would like to know how mine ingame gets triggered.

Attaching MT colliders (car wheel collision for example)to something onto character does not trigger mine when "smaking" mine with the thing.

Are these particular checks excluded with playable cahracters and only computed when vehicle goes over mines?

[rancid cape]

Is there a way to adjust how a plate carrier sits on a character in enfusion or does that need to be done in blender?

[compact scarab]

What bone to use for pivot id for a tshirt?

[faint viper]

Blender when you link it to the armature

[dark aspen]

From my understanding it’s completely automatic depending on one’s graphics settings. Though you can change it manually according to the wiki

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Level_Of_Detail

[dark aspen]

^

[paper mantle]

Could you elaborate on how to use the decal entity?

[bitter grove]

what have i done wrong. i feel like i followed the wiki pretty well. i re did it and got the same result

[livid hull]

set the parent to the armature

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Character_Gear_Creation/Headgear/Asset_Preparation#Setting_relations:_Using_Make_Parent

this is for the collider but you get the general idea from here

make sure this is setup too: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Character_Gear_Creation/Headgear/Asset_Preparation#Armature_modifier

[bitter grove]

my collider one should be set up correct and you mean in relations set my LOD0 one to parent armature?

@livid hull

i do that and it scales up and floats far away

[livid hull]

ill send you some instructions on DM

[spiral hedge]

Hi guys. i have a small question to LODs. If i place Vanilla Characters, they get rendered up to 700m. On 800m i can only see the arms, but no more cloth items. If i now place a character with my cloth, the pants will not be rendered on 600m, so it looks like the char does not have legs 😄 The pants have 4 LODs. Do i need to add more LODs or is there a setting for this? Thanks and have a nice weekend

[shell hedge]

Do they have same amount of LODs as characters?

It might be switching LOD based on parent

[sand pagoda]

can be pixel size

[spiral hedge]

is there any info to this?

[sand pagoda]

basically, treat it as multiplier of asset size in viewport, bigger pixel size, lower (LOD0 instead of LOD1, etc) LOD is loaded, also changes culling

[spiral hedge]

Thanks, will check this

[buoyant depot]

Hello, good day. I’m having an issue with a vehicle when importing the skeleton. When I import it, the vehicle in the prefab gets lifted (the wheels don't make contact with the ground). I’ve tried several things in Blender but haven’t been able to fix it. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

[leaden chasm]

What may cause the objects to wobble and not settle down for a long time? These are vanilla with "static" unchecked, but i've also tried just making simple box model and it wobbles too. Tried some different layer presets, different rigid body settings, only thing which helps a little bit is setting linear and angular threshold to max, but that is unwanted and object still wobbles before becoming inactive. While say tree debris seem to not wobble at all.

[shell hedge]

does this happen on arland or everon or only on mptest?

[wary inlet]

tree debris has a damping I think, so that may be reason

[leaden chasm]

Tried parameter within rigidbody, tried as a separate component, same effect

[leaden chasm]

Tried on mptest and arland

[shell hedge]

I have the same issue with my tonk

#enfusion_configuration message

No clue

[leaden chasm]

dayum

Actually just rechecked Arland and now it's fine, no wobble

Maybe it has something to do with default terrain surface material in mptest, or idk

[leaden chasm]

your tank also does that on arland and everon?

[shell hedge]

omg ur right it's fine on arland

yippee

NO WAIT

[leaden chasm]

i'm almost sure that it was not fine before but wtf really

[shell hedge]

it still wobbles but less

I have to get in close to see it

[leaden chasm]

have you tried messing up with these? on arland it feels like it respects these settings more than on mptest

[shell hedge]

No because the wreck model I based mine on was set to static

[leaden chasm]

how is that even possible

what's your layerpreset on the wreck?

[shell hedge]

its exactly the same as BTR70_wreck prefab with swapped mesh

[leaden chasm]

do you have colliders in your swapped mesh?

i believe so, because otherwise it wouldn't be able to wobble

so what layerpreset is on your wreck collider?

[shell hedge]

Yeah idk I tried matching it to btr

I'll go over it in a few hours again

[leaden chasm]

Ok, i'll go through world and terrain entities for arland and mptest and see if they have any different settings

HMMMMM, maybe that's the freaking issue?

Created simple terrain with 0 0 0 -- still wobble
Replaced default surface with Grass_02 -- still wobble

[shell hedge]

Mine wobbles on arland so its an issue in my mesh probably

[leaden chasm]

This is ridiculous how inconsistent it is

It is definitely has something to do with terrain, or combination of something in terrain and collider

[shell hedge]

BTR70 vanilla xob doesnt have this issue so I think I will just redo my collider later, dedicated wreck model maybe

[valid pendant]

does anyone know how to fix the error that the crosshair is no longer displayed in the sight? i have followed the modding instructions but somehow it doesn't work

[leaden chasm]

Ok, i think i've found a pattern. At least for my case. So basically it wobbles when heightmap is perfectly flat (or unedited, or combination of both), if i make a hill even next to the area where tvs are falling they seem to stop wobbling

[shell hedge]

Strange that the BTR70 wreck doesnt wobble tho

[leaden chasm]

But on arland i did test on the airstrip and it also doesn't wobble. Maybe it has something to do with terrain grid/tile/size/whatever

[leaden chasm]

So your wreck wobbles on both MPTest and Arland/Everon? If so where exactly did you test, in which area? I'll go drop some TVs in there.

[shell hedge]

Airfield, flat

[leaden chasm]

ok, before you redo your wreck, can i get the model, just the collider part, i'll test it

[remote palm]

"no longer"? or is it just not displaying?
I think i had a similar issue once

[sleek forum]

Anyone knows why are my fractured pieces not falling once I destroy a prop?

I inherited vanilla asset and just replaced spawned objects and main object mesh

[remote palm]

do you have proper geometries added? And did you reimport them once you have imported your asset?

[sleek forum]

what do u mean? my main object has collider if u mean that

[remote palm]

Yeah, mb 🙂

[sleek forum]

but when I destroy a prop, then spawned broken parts just stay in the air

[sleek forum]

nwm... I figured it out

[untold meadow]

is there a size limit of objects to have geo lods?, asking since switching from arma 3 and objects cant be beyond ~70m and still have collision

[mint hollow]

Yes MPTest terrain surface and very small flat terrain is not the best for physics test

[livid hull]

iirc for this in your clothes you can enable inherit visibility on the meshobject and that will use the same sizing distance as the character model

[spiral hedge]

Hey, is it possible to have two separated $rendertargets on the same model?

[midnight path]

why?

[rancid cape]

Just curious is it possible to make plate carriers that shape to the body or clothes? dosent the vanilla chest rigs stretch at certain points when wearing armor under?

[midnight path]

i have a few 200m X 200m terrain objects and they work fine with collision

i even tested a 800 x 800m one and it worked fine

[bitter grove]

inventory item not popping up after added it to inventoryitemcomponent, what am i missing?

also colliders are set up the same on these two( fire geo and metal 5mm) but the one on the left doesnt sound or look the same after shooting it

also no marks on these guys after headshots

[granite marsh]

I'm current working on this building, I'm trying to set up everything similar to the buildings in-game can anyone explain to me how the UV set work, both UV set 1 and 2 are different.

[fading wren]

Heey heey, I kinda need some expert 😄 I am very new with blender and the Enfusion engine, but I managed to create my first object, HOWEVER, it is a POSTER, but the borders arent transparent what did I miss to make it work properly?

To extra clarify I am talking about the blue ish windowish thing arounmd the poster

Original poster

[wary inlet]

is that done on plane mesh? if it is poster your better off running decal

[fading wren]

Yeah I used a plane mesh. Oo, so I need to place a decal instead of a plane mesh? 😄

[wary inlet]

yeah, I think there is a decal specific material, when you are in world editor just throw in a generic decal entity

if weird things continue to show up it could be a matter of your material textures, ensure you have opacity map and alpha in BCR is approximate roughnes value

[fading wren]

Not sure what you ment with that last thing

Do you mean this?

[fading wren]

In blender it works fine, in Arma reforger it keeps filling in the transparant gaps. Did I miss something?

[fading wren]

Oke I have 0 clue how to fix this.
If anyone knows a solution that I am missing, please let me know! 🙂

[red sinew]

Kick me if I’m wrong, but your plane has a UV map, and part of that UV map is untextured. You can try remeshing your plane to the outline of the poster in orthographic view, UV > UV project > Smart unwrap, export and try again

[midnight path]

opacity map

[midnight path]

put that into the opacity area in the material

[fading wren]

O thanks man! 😄 How do I make such an Opacity map for other posters and graffity I am porting? 🙂 Because I plan to export custom graffity and posters to increase the overal quality of my terrain

[fading wren]

I will see if that also works, thank you for the tip! 🙂 I am very new in porting objects and working in blender so every bit of help is much appreaciated! 🙂

[midnight path]

in the opacity map, white is visible, black is transparent

so just bring in your bcr to photoshop and edit it to make a opacity map

the value of white in each pixel 0-255 equals the amount of opacity

[dusty ember]

Hello what is the problem, can someone help me

[stray crater]

What exactly do you want to know about UV sets ?

[fading wren]

Thanks for the tip, the poster works now (almost) as intended!
From a distance it looks good, but when you get closer you can see some greenish lines around it.

So I am almost there :D. I never used photoshop, I will instal photoshop tomorrow! 🙂

[midnight path]

cool 🙂 almost any modern image editing program will work, it doesnt have to be photoshop

[fading wren]

Man man, I am learning so much the last few days and since I want to expand on that.
But holy moly there are a lot of bumps in the learning cycle.

[midnight path]

the learning curve is steep but once you memorize a few things it gets alot easier

[fading wren]

Good to know! Was already affraid that is like a lifelong uphill battle xD.
Cheers for the help tho, I am now trying to recreate the Opacity map of the poster (like you did).

[fading wren]

I think I did it! 😄 I think I remade it!

@midnight path , why does your Opacity have those extra details in it? (the scratches) mine looks way to clean compared to yours

[keen canyon]

Where is this found? Is it important to do when placing Signs?
Reason I’m asking is I just made my own sign from Blender and once I publish to Workshop, they are no longer found in the map.

[keen canyon]

I tried adding some components to make it act like metal but bullets go right through it.

[mighty bronze]

Okay
Who the hell keeps using that funny polish name for all the AI

[fallow pond]

its standard polish name

nothing funny about it

[amber totem]

Hello everyone, I am currently working on getting custom player models into my mod. But the new model doesn't exactly align with the provided bones from the Reforger Armature.
When I (using Blender) adjust the position (in Edit Mode) of the armature bones that need changing, they get snapped back at the very end in the Enfusion Tools when I have my prefab ready. (I already guessed this would probably happen)
Does anyone know how to adjust the default bone positions, without screwing over animations etc.?
I have a feeling I need to override an animation skeleton defined somewhere in the files, but I have no clue as to where.

[calm karma]

How does the WaterErase material work. Is there some extra step I need to do besides making a sealed box where water shouldn't go and applying the material to it?

[amber totem]

Usually works like that in games yeah. Can't confirm though. But game engines check which area the volume fills, and creates a mask based on it

[calm karma]

Does the mesh have to be inside out?

Never mind. Just tried flipping the normals and it works now

[granite marsh]

Is this something I set up in blender when I'm UV unwrapping, do I even need to have 2 UV set?

[stray crater]

You must have made the mistake and set two UV sets I guess. On the paper, you don’t NEED it, but it’s a real plus if you learn how to use it on Reforger

[last parcel]

You do need it for buildings that uses the maskmap system...

[stray crater]

That’s the real plus I was talking about 🙂

[deep dagger]

Hii, could you please point me into the direction of importing buildings to reforger? Thanks!

Hello just wondering how do you make it where you can place a custom sign in game master

[stray bridge]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Asset_Browser_Mod_Integration

[dawn cargo]

Ok when i place it i can't move it do you know how to fix that?

[midnight ore]

If anyone could point me in the right direction for sorting this, it’d be appreciated.

[amber totem]

There could be a few things wrong here, but it's difficult to determine without seeing all details:

• Did you move one of the bones from the Armature? (You are not allowed to, this breaks things 😦 )
• Did you make sure to Apply the transforms of your object BEFORE adding the modifier link to the Armature?
• Are the weights painted to right bones? Judging the type of mask, I think you could easily get away by Weight painting/assigning it all to the Head bone

[midnight ore]

Not touched armature , Selected mask & armature - applied transforms too , transfered weights from sample to new mesh model

[amber totem]

I haven't done weight transfers myself yet, but only manual skinning. Could you try that?
I am also happy to hop into a call with you to try and figure things out with you sharing your screen

[midnight ore]

I popped you a dm

[compact scarab]

https://youtu.be/Uk9bgj5lr5Y

I've got the clothing rigging figured out in blender, but trying to figure out how to get it working in enfusion properly. If anybody can point me in the right direction would be awesome.

And just curious why is the sample character template not in A pose by default?

[compact scarab]

And if I put the character in A pose and then parent the shirt to the armature it does this.

Where am I screwing up

[rancid cape]

How many polys is to many polys when it comes to vehicles in arma reforger, what range should i be in to where it still looks good and not dated?

[midnight path]

i keep mine under 300k

the sample car is like 40k

high detail vehicle usually 250-350k

[rancid cape]

So my origin in blender is set to center-ish mass of my object, why is it that in the workbench moving and rotating it is way offset? How do i fix it?

[last parcel]

But the object in blender is not.

[stray bridge]

Think of the virtual "floor" in blender (0,0,0) as of the floor in reforger, so place it just on 0

[rancid cape]

Aaaaha thanks!!

[glossy prairie]

How do I open an empty map in Infusion?

[dawn cargo]

Does anyone know how to make it where you can move your sign bc when i place it its just stuck can't move it or delete it

[quiet ledge]

MP_TESt is a good flat testing map

[surreal ore]

https://vimeo.com/1080682263?share=copy

[errant girder]

can somebody help me with this? as soon as i add a amature to this, its going crazy in enfusion engine, i tryed everything i could think off
every other part on this gun works perfectly

[surreal ore]

Apply transforms

[mighty bronze]

In object mode you effectively wanna make sure everything shows up as 0 location, 0 rotation, and 1 scale

[compact scarab]

Thank you very much man appreciate it.

[errant girder]

thats actually the case, also for all other parts

[rancid cape]

How do i hide the names on the bones?

[errant girder]

go to object mode first

[rancid cape]

Hmm that tab aint there for me

[errant girder]

select a bone in object mode, then this tab should be visible

[rancid cape]

Aaah thanks!

[rancid cape]

Where the hell did i go wrong? It as if its not connected to the skeleton, i have armature set up like it showed on the biki and i weight painted using the samples from the biki, i exported and imported also following the biki and the prefab was made duplicating the RHS JPC swapping out the needed .xobs

[surreal ore]

#enfusion_model message

[sage zodiac]

Did you ever fix this?

[lucid aspen]

any reason why my lvl 9000 material isn't working with helmets? all my colliders are set up right and configs just lost here ant ideas?

[surreal ore]

Your colliders can't be set up right if they aren't working correctly.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=Arma_Reforger:Character_Gear_Creation/Headgear/Asset_Preparation&useskin=DarkVector

[lucid aspen]

here's the colliders wroking

here is the config with the OP material applied to the helmet importing body armour is easy so helmets should be the same thing, i even have a opscore manable and ess crossbow glasses working with the op material but the helmet is the only thing that doesn't work for some reason

so 100mm concrete stops everything on the helmet so fixed i guess

[bitter grove]

In theory, if you but a box over a helmet and scale it down to the rough size, label it UBX_whatever… would that have issues with collision?

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import?useskin=DarkVector#Collider_shape

[surreal ore]

You don't wanna use a box for an organic shaped object

You'll have floating impact particles

[bitter grove]

So you’d want to use a trimesh?

[lucid aspen]

yes

it's alot better and faster that way

[bitter grove]

Do you make your trimeshes by duplicating and decimating?

[lucid aspen]

i'll do a fast video

it's pretty easy you can do that for body armour and any addition armour for helmets

[surreal ore]

No, preferably you'd want to use a primitive

[bitter grove]

So a sphere would be best? For a helmet at least

[bitter grove]

Is that a free addon? Simple colliders?

[lucid aspen]

if you use a sphere you'd not be able to head eyes someone

yes

just follow them steps there all under 150 faces so you'll be fine

[bitter grove]

Not able to delete the bottom have of sphere and add a face to it? Or would that ruin the integrity of the collider

Half

[lucid aspen]

i mean you could do it like that but i'm not sure tbh

[surreal ore]

UCX is the best bet

You wanna use the simplest collider possible

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Performance

I had it backwards actually. Apparently sphere is the best performance wise

[lucid aspen]

it's really up to him the default helmet collider has more faces then the one i just did

[bitter grove]

Where in enfusion can I enable the collider view like that

Does doing multiple clothes in the same blender project work do you know? I got one setup working but trying a 2nd garment in the same blender project can't seem to get working. Just curious if you know if that causes issues.

[surreal ore]

As long as you're doing everything correctly it doesn't matter.

[compact scarab]

Cool ty

[surreal ore]

The only thing that matters is the exported fbx

[bitter grove]

why would this be doing this on game? seems low enough poly and everything's even

seems like its only at the front too. happens on another helm model too

[rocky sedge]

Check the weights, Parts of it might be tied to the face bones

[gusty hatch]

yes. I use a single file with a single soldier dummy and armateur for a entire factions kit

to clarify, it's fine. You don't need to duplicate the armateur for each item you export. You only need the basebody to copy weights and shouldn't be exporting it anyway, unless I'm misunderstanding what you are doing.

[compact scarab]

Nice thanks appreciate it.

Hello I was wondering if anyone knows how find this #AR-Backpack_IIFS_FieldPack_Name I would like to create own

[olive fern]

Hi, I have a problem with collision on my custom props.
I followed the tutorial from piano man about creating a foxhole, everything worked well but everytime I close and reopen my project, my foxhole looses its collision and idk why.
foxholes which are placed whilst the workbench was running are working fine in the playtest mode but as soon as I close the project and reopen it again and then try to playtest it, they have no collision no more.
and yes I turned them into a prefab with rigid body component and I added the layers like shown in the video

[bitter grove]

yeah im not sure why this is happening

[rocky sedge]

Go trough all the weights and see if anything else but head has weight on the main part of the helmet.

[bitter grove]

I did and then deleted everything and reimported/ created a new prefab and it fixed it. thankyoui for your help!

[flint smelt]

Im really new to blender I need help on adding collisions is there anybody that wants to give me a step-by-step guide on how to add collisions to a model

[olive fern]

copy mesh -> decimate it a bit -> rename it with UTM_ infront and export everything together

[flint smelt]

I dont know if I did the mesh right but I did the collider setup and I got this error is there any way I can shoot this model out to someone to add Collision on to it

[faint viper]

as ulup said thats the best and easiest way to do it. You dont need the addon to export it, even if u do it normally it will recognize it and work

[shell hedge]

But decimate it properly. I've seen mods that add static props that have UTM colliders with 10000 faces and walking over them/touching them reduces my FPS every time.

I think more colliders that are simple is better than fewer that are more expensive The other way around. Fewer complex is better than more simple

Will double check

[olive fern]

Hi, I have a problem with the consistency of my custom model.
I decided to follow pianoman's foxhole tutorial and everything went fine but when restarting my workbench and going back into playtest mode my custom props have lost their collision.
Interestingly, prefabs placed in the same instance the workbench was started, HAVE COLLISION, like .. WHAT?!
https://prnt.sc/_O0Qazg-8xoq

the same problem applies to a few more models I made after this one aswell.

[next crown]

can anyone help me out with vehicles i have 2 models i've made but not sure where to go from there when modding in a new vehicle do i have to have a duplicate bone rig like base arma vehicle or can i duplicate and replace the xob and make it work like that as of now i duplicated a humv and and replaced the xob with my vehicle and got the truck to turn on but it will not drive

[astral hull]

@midnight path

[midnight path]

best way is to make your own rig but with the same names vanilla vehicles use

and build the vehicle with a vehicle_base, swapping the .xob has never worked correctly for me and is a headache

[next crown]

Roger so better to build my own bone rig to the names of armas bone rig

[loud mist]

made a backpack but it has no physics at all wondering how do i add bones to it so it can get physics is there like a certain file i can download and apply it in blender or is it something else

[burnt temple]

How to turn off this wind animation preview when editing this asset?

[stray bridge]

set the material to this basetree material or whatever, top right a bit the the left change class button.
If thats done scroll alsmost all the way down there is settings like stiffness

[sick shard]

I'd follow BI examples as there a lot better also I'd get two addons for blender called simple collider and LOD generator very good and simple tools that's makes it easy and faster to import less messing around todo only thing with simple collider you need todo is in it's settings under trimesh add UTM and that's about it

[strong burrow]

Is there a way to export a texture map from an XOB?

so i have a template?

[stray bridge]

no

[young wolf]

When I drop my model weapon it goes through the map but it doesn't do that in my test map? I have 2 colliders a weapon and a fire geometry

[remote palm]

Have you reimported your model so that your colliders are actually registered?

[glossy prairie]

How the download this?

[stray bridge]

no need to download it

[compact scarab]

How are LOD's handled when rigging / skinning ? Do I need to parent each lod to skeleton in blender? And copy weights?

[glossy prairie]

Thx

[glossy prairie]

Thx

[glossy prairie]

Why is this happening?

[astral hull]

Yes

[remote palm]

Is your magazine at 0,0,0? show it pls

[young wolf]

@remote palm found what it was, one of the colliders was registered as a fire geometry instead of fire view

[compact scarab]

Ty

[cold rune]

Yes the bones can be downloaded off the wiki page, use the model to transfer weights.

[loud mist]

I done that added the bones and transferred the weight but I am still getting no physics on the bag

[loud mist]

Most likely where ur magazine is positioned u can tweak it to fit how u like

[cold rune]

Have you tried to shift drag the bag into the armature layer? That worked for me.

[loud mist]

like the model itself on blender

[cold rune]

Yea

[loud mist]

wait how just drag it under armature

[cold rune]

There should be a layer called armature, find you bag in the layers tab and left shift click and drag the bag layer into the armature layer in blender

I'm at work rn so could include screenshots later

[loud mist]

done that exported it to arma went to reimport so i could get the bones working now my arma tools crashes everytime i boot it

[cold rune]

That's odd, never had that problem

[loud mist]

cant even get back into my mod now

keeps crashing

went and deleted the model fbx through my actual files on file explorer but its still doing it

[glossy prairie]

Thx

[remote palm]

Was it the fix? 😄

[glossy prairie]

Yes, I made the magazine positions zero and it fixed it

Thank you so much

[cold rune]

is the way i got it to work in game as you see my vest is in the same layer as armature after it was painted then i exported it and ticked export skinning befor reimporting

idk why you tools would be crashing

[loud mist]

its weird

[loud mist]

as soon as i clicked re import for skinning

[summer sierra]

hey is there any sample weapon to show where mags on Guns and pistol are suppose to align in blender?

[wooden wolf]

Anyone know how I can fix these invisible arms?

[stray bridge]

thats most likely the setting of „meshes to hide“ here „arms“ or whatever its called. Probably L_Arm and R_Arm. Somewhere in a component, begin with the clothcomponent

*baseclothcomponent

[calm rune]

I wouldn’t work on those clothing items. RHS will soon put out an update and none of the clothing I created will be in it.

[burnt temple]

can you check the tris count for trees that come with the game?

I'm making custom trees but wonder what would be good tris number

[solar heron]

I have a problem with my destructible model ... i used the original mailbox prefab for this and switched the models witch mine. but when the mailbox gets destructed only the pole is spawned... the other 2 elements are not laying around. whats the problem here? i used trymeshes for the collision

[stuck kraken]

Have you seen the destruction? For example on traffice signs if you shoot on them they fall off and then disapear after a few seconds.

[solar heron]

I tried with a grenade and via lightning strike.... no parts to see. i also changed the lifetime to 10 seconds minimum. Its a little weird because i have a verge post model wich i working more or less correct.

[stuck kraken]

You want a destruction more like a warning sign where the part on the pole is falling off. on the original postofficebox the model is changed against a destructed one. In opposite to that look for example on a warning sign (SignAheadOnly_01_pole.et). Here the et consists of a pole and a dedicated sign (SignAheadOnly_01.et)

[solar heron]

i found out what was wrong... i need to put the models inside the red SCR_Destructible Entity and not in SCR_DestructionMultiphaseComponent

[calm rune]

If you are making trees for the game then I assume you own it. If you own it just load up the work bench and look for the tree model lol
