enfusion_model

[twin robin]

I have an issue when I port the 3d model to xob , the current 3d model spawns backwards, I mean, the front part goes at the back and the back goes at the front
anyone know to solve it?

[dim gate]

so if your model is around the torso of a character, the painting will only be applied with torso bones

[tacit eagle]

thats the type of explanation i like to hear and that really helps

i will need that skeleton to import and see

so i put my model over body

get the bones that are inside of model

and now what 😂

[dim gate]

i could try to make a vid tutorial, but my internet is absolute shit for upload
hell uploading my mod for arma 3 was already making me shit myself fearing a connection drop or something

[tacit eagle]

haha, is there a possible way to get into call

i can share screen

so you can do a short explanation

[dim gate]

can't i have to go get my pizza
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7piAUK9AQs4

2.8 / 3.0 shouldn't change a lot

[tacit eagle]

yup

will check once we have a skeleton

and god help me, hahaha i was doing this only in maya and unity to rig character, and thats easy so much, blender was always killing me for some reason

thanks again man

[terse star]

looks better yes !

[daring condor]

what type of rock is this supposed to be, basalt?

[swift anvil]

coal

[daring condor]

oh right

graphite

for coal you should up the metallicity

without going into the specifics of it, coal kinda acts like a metal in regards to light

buut the surface is usually wethered so its hard to see on deposits

you would see it on a fresh cleavage tho

[swift anvil]

Oh yeah I didn't know

[daring condor]

but dont make it too metallic

getting minerals right is hard

cuz you need an actualy specimen to see it

and charcoal looks way different from anthracite

[mortal sentinel]

anyone else has extremely slow render speed in blender? Like I have 1 sample per second for cycles render engine

gtx 1070

wtf nvm

i already have gpu selected in preferences, but I found another setting under render engine

damn my donut lookin juicy

[primal perch]

for enfusion, if we want to animate the bolt. Do we have to apply that animation within blender?

[hot pumice]

has geometry become harder to make than arma 3?
this collider thing confuses me
are we forced to only use primitives?

[knotty cedar]

Nope you can use simple convex (UCX) meshes as well as complexer triangular meshes (UTM). A lot became easier, for example you won't have to make shadowlod anymore :)

Check pinned image regarding collider shapes too

[hot pumice]

oh so as long as its not concave I can still make complex mesh
thanks for the clarification

willdo

[tacit eagle]

@astral oar u got that fixed skellet ?

or anyone of you guys, got a fixed skellet for us to paint models

[hot pumice]

hold up that teacup seems concave, can UTM be non convex?
if so I assume at a considerable performance cost?

[knotty cedar]

Correct sir

[hot pumice]

this is the best day of my life
I'm gonna cry for a few hours

[daring condor]

have you enabled GPU rendering?

[mortal sentinel]

yes, everything's ok now, had to enable in two places

[knotty cedar]

I bet :) Hey how do you think I felt when I got accustomed to Enfusion and I had to go back to A3 tech as artist for Arma 3 Art of War

[tacit eagle]

Hey Sasha, i was informed, that skeleton of character sample for blender is broken, and there is a new one that is fixed, still not uploaded to GitHub, info got from someone with Bohemia.net tag. So do you, by any chance have that file?

[hot pumice]

do you by chance know if the lod size limit has also been removed?
some of my main grudges with rv was the convex geos and having to split large structures in multiple pieces to fit roadway/geo limits

[tacit eagle]

okay so whats the point of having these two characters, big and small one

i got model made, textured everything i only need to fix this problem

i got info, it is being fixed by weighting

you see

there is a small guy down

haha

[knotty cedar]

I'm not sure on that one

[tacit eagle]

my model doesnt have a single bone

i just import pure model from samples

yeah, try to import this one

you will see

it gives you one big guy and a small guy between his legs

thats what i am looking for 😄

so i can use this boy

give me sec

this boy with mix of Headgear example

yeah

how much free time you got, can you jump in VC for a short questions on my screen than

ah , okay than chat

let me try to merge it and i will ss

is this fine now?

[round orbit]

Ok so I have my vest working, How do I change the vest's name, description and thumbnail? https://gyazo.com/87f767e7e9636eb06270a4e6b4e94168
https://gyazo.com/f903258ab8888b710b2eaaf40102f053

[tacit eagle]

any possibility to help me, by short explanation how you did a weighting 😂

[round orbit]

I grabbed the weight from the character_example fbx file, I transfered the weight of the character to my vest. I then port my vest to the headgear_example fbx

[tacit eagle]

HeadGear_Sample or?

like i got tons of them , and tried merging like this

still doesnt work, probably i am doing something wrong

i tried exporting, but it says 0 bones in enfusion

[round orbit]

ok go here

check those 3 misc boxes and reimport

[tacit eagle]

😦

[round orbit]

what does your blend file look like?

[tacit eagle]

fbx

[round orbit]

ok open it

[tacit eagle]

into blender or?

[round orbit]

Yes

[lament solar]

You need to check the export skinning and reimport

[tacit eagle]

haha moment

imported

on same character

[round orbit]

https://gyazo.com/9c777862d16e06bc24b74708ad53da0e This is what my blend hierarchy looks like

[tacit eagle]

this is mine

the vest actualy got all vertex groups

but still not working some reason

this weighting thing is gonna kill me 😂

okay got my Hierarchy to be same as yours

model to be into the other collection

[dim gate]

click on arrow, select "delete all empty"

just checked ,it's not here anymore
fucking blender

[tacit eagle]

hahah

my model actualy not responding to bones

god damn

YEAH BABY

i got it working

thanks goes to Mr. @round orbit

that was huh

hahaha

[dim gate]

to check your model on blender, you need to parent the model into the armature

so have an armature ( bones ), drag your model in it it while holding shift to parent it and then select the armature to move it around

and just checked again, blender is not working like the hold time

god damnit, imagine having all the function working in the easiest way possible just to trash it because you can't add anything new in your spaghetti code
god

[tacit eagle]

yeah, i was using maya all the time

on university

and everything, in theory i know how modelling works

but blender is killing me hahah

but after maya, blender is best known editor i know

[round orbit]

Anyone know how I can change the item preview in the inventory?

[tacit eagle]

ah c'mon

same problem still

i am gonna kill myself hahah

even with bones

what now

anyone have a clue?

Im trying to import an .fbx but get this error: https://imgur.com/zzDBDJk

[dull elk]

sorry, probably dumb question

[tacit eagle]

Anyone have a clue what might be causing it?

Console does not show any additional information

[dull elk]

is there a way to "edit" data from the game? To be more clear, I just want to change some variables in some animations, for example, can I export them to edit them somehow?

[tacit eagle]

in blender or Enfusion?

[wheat bay]

With the Sample Weapon, does anybody else get the issue of the gun moving to the wrong position when sprinting?

[dull elk]

....am dumb nvm

[tacit eagle]

thats enfusion

delete it?

but everything is under armature

huh

so again go back to blender and do it there?

this?

[wheat bay]

Would anybody know how to fix this?

Specifically the arm being inside my body lol

[tacit eagle]

if I delete that, it deletes everything

all bones

[tropic hollow]

how do you make a prefab of a model you imported

[tacit eagle]

huh, where can i get the ingame one?

the proper one

[round orbit]

Anyone know how to change the preview picture in the inventory?

[tacit eagle]

no bones on them

the ona that i was replacing with mine

has no bones

okay got it now

i will need to match this

right?

now blender is cutting me in half

idk how to move bones in hierarchy

xd

okay, i think i know whats the problem and i will wait

one guy will send me proper fixed skellet

so i dont need to play around with hierarchy

[pure kayak]

so im trying to work out weapon importation, do i need to make moving parts different objects? like the fire selector or bolt thingy

[dim gate]

i don't know but i did

bolt, safety and trigger are all sepparate

also i think the weapon bone samples are bugged like for the character sample

there's one armature that i can't remove for some reason

[pure kayak]

ahh

[drifting wave]

What unit settings do you use for MD? mm or cm?

[pure kayak]

uhh, im not sure

i think i use mm?

but i use autoscale when possible as i do stuff in blender

[drifting wave]

Aight, I plan on mostly doing a MD > zbrush > blender workflow, so hopefully things work out.

[pure kayak]

ah okay

yeah i cant afford both MD and zbrush so i make do with blender

[drifting wave]

MD be like: Due to insufficient memory space (less than 10GB) the file can be damaged. Do you want to proceed?

https://i.gyazo.com/c0a2d7b7b59cce633b9c66e2c7056083.png

'Scuse you?

[pure kayak]

lol

[drifting wave]

No, we meant video memory!!1!

Ok? https://gyazo.com/71a34fc1c23ff1ec5e098bf8f2277d76

For the record, it's MD using the 4.9 lol

[pure kayak]

@dim gate dont suppose you'd know how those different objects "combine" into one on import do you?

[dim gate]

as long they are part of the same LOD, they combine
all my parts are into LOD0, so the import auto consider them in the same group

[pure kayak]

Ohh

okay i get it

thanks!

[dim gate]

np

[wheat bay]

What is the Purpose of Snap_Hand_Right when doing weapons? I haven't actually seen it do anything, but I'm guessing it is where your hand is placed for the grip?

[dim gate]

if it's like for arma 3, it force the right hand to stay at this location during animations to make sure it doesn't move around
this was also defined in a config file, you could even delete a part of the animation to smoothen it in that same config

[pure kayak]

okay so, i crash everytime i try import my weapon

[dim gate]

weird

what weapon are you importing ?

[pure kayak]

the A2 fal that i edited

it seems to just crash after importing the fbx

before making them into anything, i tried verifying the files of the tools

i also had crashes importing a a heightmap earlier

[dim gate]

🤔 what the fuck ?

[pure kayak]

gonna wipe my addons folder and reinstall

okay what the fuck

a complete wipe of my tools and it still crashes, its gotta be the model

[swift goblet]

i was trying to import a vehicle and i got this error

https://imgur.com/LMBfaBf

this means my vehicle has too much faces and/or vertex?

[daring condor]

Did you clear mats?

[pure kayak]

just trying that

Yep it was the material name

[magic dragon]

How many tris does your model have?

[swift goblet]

500k

thats what blender says

[magic dragon]

Stress testing?

[pure kayak]

thats

a highpoly model

[swift goblet]

yep

[magic dragon]

Most likely a lack of memory, yes. You can navigate to the file it mentions and check line 613 for the assert

And you will likely have your answer as to what actually happened

[swift goblet]

of course i can make it less faces and vertex, but i wanted to know if thats the cause

[hidden yarrow]

I tested a model with 400k and it worked

[magic dragon]

enf_memory.cpp line 613

[hidden yarrow]

just took a while to load into the tools

[swift goblet]

how much ram do you have?

[hidden yarrow]

16gb

[swift goblet]

i have 8gb

maybe thats the cause

[dim gate]

500k
😂

[swift goblet]

i will test now with 265k

[hidden yarrow]

Took me like 20min to import tho lol

[swift goblet]

and it works well ingame? or laggy?

[magic dragon]

@swift goblet For ideal performance, try to keep the face count for vehicles in the 10-20k range

[swift goblet]

ok ty

[magic dragon]

No, wait

[swift goblet]

i have a version of 19k faces, im gonna use it

[magic dragon]

I was reading that wrong

[patent flower]

10-20k? seems awfully low for a modern engine

[magic dragon]

Nah it is

The BTR-70 in full is around 100K tris

[swift goblet]

how much do you think?

i have several versions

[hidden yarrow]

220k* with the turret

[swift goblet]

mine with all parts is over 2 million faces

[dim gate]

isn't the turret a separate entity ?

[magic dragon]

Good lookin' out

[hidden yarrow]

yeah

[patent flower]

in arma 3 standards i aimed for at least 50 - 70 k

[pure kayak]

maybe 40k at most

hm

[patent flower]

depending on what i was doing

[hidden yarrow]

turret was 60k hull 160k on base game BTR

[dim gate]

40k is good enough for a gun

[patent flower]

if ur doing a gun thats 40k ur doing it wrong

[dim gate]

no not really

you don't have to make all details in 3D, that's just unnecessary bloating

some elements like screw can stay in 2D with normal mapping on it

[patent flower]

im well aware still 40k is is taking the piss

[magic dragon]

Base AK-74 without magazine is around 35k faces. It's sufficient geometric detail to make a decent weapon

That gun has modeled rivets, even

[dim gate]

depend on the gun really, a complex one can reach it, but it has to be complex
Mk46 in arma 2 is 20k

keep in mind, more tris on a model isn't going to make a good game, it's only going to make it bloated in size and piss off everyone

[magic dragon]

Precisely

Like, this is plenty to work with

[dim gate]

jesus H fucking christ

why

[patent flower]

^^

[dim gate]

this is just like crysis 2 ultra high poly water

[magic dragon]

Ask the Bohemia devs - it's their gun

For a top-level LOD it's not too bad

[hidden yarrow]

Probably to show what the engine can do

[radiant temple]

whats the rest of the model like? not unusual to have denser polygons closesest to the camera

[dim gate]

nah, they just hired a bunch of artist that never worked on video games and told them what they want

[magic dragon]

It's fairly dense. 35K faces in total

For comparison: Reskinned A2 AKS-74U

6000 faces

about 6 times less complexity. It shows its age in some places, though.

[patent flower]

i felt guilty at 12k for my L85A2/3

[dim gate]

dude what is this optimization you are talking about
just buy a 3080 lmao

modern game dev in general

[patent flower]

granted it was for A3

[dim gate]

eh, 12k is alright imo, as i've said Mk46 for A2 was 20k

[magic dragon]

Barrel is noticeably low-poly. But with some sprucing up these models can be performant and look about 80% as good as the Reforger weapons

[radiant temple]

My guess

1. time constraints
2. probably everyone had to transition to blender. Some with no previous experience

[patent flower]

im dreading the blender part

too used to 3dsmax

[magic dragon]

FWIW, the topology is pretty clean

[radiant temple]

ye

[magic dragon]

Better than anything I could do for sure

[daring condor]

That ak-74 is obscene

[daring condor]

I'd make the muzzle booster a separate part for use with attachments

[radiant temple]

thats the A2 version

[magic dragon]

Good idea, actually. I have the muzzle rigged and a snap-point. Didn't separate it off though

It's fully rigged from scratch

Selector, bolt, trigger, mag release

[daring condor]

I am aware, you can still cut it apart

[dim gate]

surely the later, arma 3 tools had option to import 3dsmax files, my guess is they eventually ran out of budget at some point and had to stop renewing the 3DS liscence they got and "release" arma reforger has last stand option

ence why nothing is ready for it

[daring condor]

I'd have taken the A2 mesh and done some tweaks

[magic dragon]

Was basically necessary just to get it properly set up, since these old meshes have their magazines modeled on

[daring condor]

Muzzle booster could do with the cutouts

[magic dragon]

As well as unloaded LODs

[jagged smelt]

Lol! And here I'm trying to not use more than 5k polys :v

[daring condor]

Good

[magic dragon]

I want to, maybe, subdivide the barrel and dust cover to make it a little prettier

[daring condor]

Lower poly is better

Well, as low as possible

[jagged smelt]

True, always doing things the lower possible ❤️

[radiant temple]

Makes it difficult to document blender tools if you dont use it

[daring condor]

I dont lol

I try to fit as much into geo as I can justify

I try to keep it reasonable tho

But I don't like working with normals too much

I'm salty over them dropping specularity

Specgloss > metrough

[zinc crow]

i think you are the only one

[daring condor]

They could have done both, afaik that's what cod does

There's pbr specgloss too

Pbr and metrough are not synonymous

[daring condor]

I don't miss Arma specularity, I miss spec in general

It's more flexible than metalness

And can be used to make some neat grime

[patent flower]

personally i seen the change coming and for the last year worked in metal roughness and converted back over

produced better results for me

[dim gate]

imo PBR make everything look either plastic, covered in slime or made with play-doh
there's no inbetween

or anything else for that matter

[grim crypt]

anyone got any idea why th my parts rotate 180 and go on the outside of the model?? inheriting from the SVD

[daring condor]

Again pbr != Metrough

There is also Pbr specgloss

[dim gate]

ah yeah i forgot about that

[daring condor]

Yeah, I'd have just wished they used both shaders, or had option's for them

[dim gate]

mine just go outside, check your bone hierarchy and compare it to a vanilla one

[daring condor]

I don't mind metrough too much

[dim gate]

mine has an issue just like the character bone and i don't know how to fix it

[forest rapids]

That's a weird thing to say about PBR as it stands for Physically-Based Rendering and is a relatively close approximation of how most common materials interact with light

[daring condor]

But it pains me to have met at anything other than 1 or 0

[daring condor]

Pbr metrough is very limited in regards to anything non metal

[forest rapids]

@daring condor most things -should- be 0 or 1 metalness though? Most pure metals are dielectric and do no absorb photons.

[daring condor]

Im aware

[forest rapids]

And most of everything else does not act like a metal in any way

[daring condor]

That's why it pains me

Sometimes you kinda have to

Like I said

I miss spec

It's way more flexible

I'll just have to get used to it

[dim gate]

nobody said you have to stop working with it

[pure kayak]

@magic dragon i gave it my best shot

[dim gate]

i still use spec

[pure kayak]

and yes that is a 74 mag

[dry gazelle]

rad

[dim gate]

nice

[pure kayak]

its the Arma 2 FAL redone for PBR

[dry gazelle]

gotta work with what you got ig

[pure kayak]

as a test mainly

[daring condor]

Yeah I know, but fuck it. Might as well

So the way turrets work

Is that they are modular?

[dim gate]

yeah

[daring condor]

Bi pls release tow and gavin

[dim gate]

wait 3 years for them lol

[daring condor]

Lol

I have an itv turret for Arma 3

Want a can opener gavin

[astral oar]

This is the skeleton that quebec gave out that was fixed for exporting FBXs for blender^^^^^

@twin robin

@tacit eagle

[thorn topaz]

it wasn't just a case of leaf bones?

[dim gate]

just make a gavin on wheels
The Forbidden Gavin

[astral oar]

i dunno people just kept asking for his fix skele

[magic dragon]

@pure kayak Looks great! I see maybe some AO artifacts but otherwise pretty good look for it

[pure kayak]

its the armatures name too

[thorn topaz]

I see, thank you

[pure kayak]

the very first one i believe

[astral oar]

whatcha been up to jomie

[pure kayak]

just tryna learn the tools still

i got that fal sorta working above

[astral oar]

lit

[drifting wave]

Does anyone know where to get the full character from without any clothes or gears attached? Trying to get something I can throw into marvelous.

[pure kayak]

samples

[astral oar]

^

here is the base

[pure kayak]

i'd recommend merging verts too so if you smooth the avatar it doesn't split apart

[astral oar]

@drifting wave

This should be a naked body

[drifting wave]

Yeah, I looked in the samples new character folder, the blender file I can't seem to separate all the bones from, so I can't actually do anything with the underlying mesh (I've never actually dealt with a fully rigged character before so I might just be missing a step), the fbx files are missing the upper chest and head so it's kind of useless.

I'll try that file tho.

[astral oar]

yeah that one is using clothing

the template should be the full body without clothes

[mortal sentinel]

I made a thing in blender, is there a tutorial on how to import that as a prop in enfusion?

[drifting wave]

That's missing too much to be useful

[thorn topaz]

is something happening if you try to separate the bones?

[astral oar]

i have no clue what your looking for then

that's the non clothed body

[drifting wave]

https://i.gyazo.com/7d630dd31f8b2b6044ca445c1aeea9cf.png

[astral oar]

weird

just go download the sample assets mine might need fixing then

[dim gate]

just download the sample files from github

[drifting wave]

I did

[astral oar]

the head should be the same as the head template as well

[drifting wave]

It's the same as the one widow uploaded

[astral oar]

just combine both fbxs

[sick shard]

anyone know why the scene_root is in the middle of the model and not at the w_root?

[drifting wave]

That works I suppose

[dim gate]

nope

[astral oar]

combined both

[dim gate]

head template is separate from body

just import the head into charater example and merge them

pretty much what widow did

[drifting wave]

Yeah I imported the head one too, deleting all the unnecessary bits and exporting so I can use it in MD

[astral oar]

👌

[drifting wave]

I never know in these cases if it's just something I'm just doing wrong or not as I've never actually gotten to the whole rigging part yet, best I've done so far is a rough draft jacket using one of the default avatars in MD.

[mortal sentinel]

guys pls, how do I move a thing I made in blender to a prop in enfusion?

[thorn topaz]

do you have the enfusion tool set up?

[mortal sentinel]

I have the tool, I have the enfusion addon installed in blender if that's needed

just not sure what now

[drifting wave]

I guess I just select all the basebody and head lod 0's and merge by distance?

[daring condor]

Do that or make them both convex and Boolean union

[thorn topaz]

it's needed. You create a mesh to act as a collider, this will do a variety of things but for the sake of simplicity lets say collision and fire geometry. You'll need to name the collision mesh something specific depending on the shape though.

Again for simplicity, you can start with a triangulated cube and name it UTM_namegoeshere

[drifting wave]

Anyone elses sample character got broken ankles?

[thorn topaz]

@mortal sentinel from there you would click the "Colliders Setup" in the enfusion tool, if it says "select collider mesh first!" then click the Sort Objects button, navigate to the mesh and try again.

[daring condor]

[mortal sentinel]

ok I exported my item from blender as fbx, imported in enfusion workbench, but I'm missing stuff + I have no texture and colors, it's white

[magic dragon]

Dev suggested a while back about using the amphibious vehicle component for boats

Pretty crafty, hah

[hidden yarrow]

Whats up with prop sizes?

[thorn topaz]

whenever you export anything make sure you tick the Custom Properties box, otherwise the collider material and layer presets will be lost.

as for it being white, you can drag the texture files into the program to auto convert them, then put them into the correct channels in the material file in workbench

[astral oar]

i swear i have no clue what causes issues with new arsenal items

sometimes they show sometimes they don't lord have mercy

[quasi sedge]

anyone touched backpacks yet?

[astral oar]

A little bit

Also if any of the reforge devs could answer if there is a capped storage limit on the arsenal

[quasi sedge]

I have no idea what i'm doing here in regards to getting one imported. I've got it in but its all fucky.

Just trying to find a helping hand since there are no samples lol

https://i.imgur.com/wgF9RTE.jpeg

this being the problem I run into lol, no matter what vertex groups are assigned its all fugged

[wanton vigil]

Scene_Root is always in 0.0.0 coordinates of the model. So you probably need to reposition the whole model with w_root bone to make it match

[sick shard]

I think I found the issue so I used Maya to rig the model and I just checked blender and found the armature so I believe you just need to rename it Scene_Root since the example model was setup like that and mine was just set to armature

I'll let you know if this fixes it or if you need to add anything just going to try it now and see if it's fixed

[astral oar]

So i have a custom arsenal config

It should have both my vests

but it's only showing one

I've added them both to my override config

[sick shard]

yea didn't fix it haha

just created a new armature for some reason

in the bones sections

[astral oar]

Is this beacuse it's using the same worn model - The only difference is one has a slot system setup to add mags and a radio to the model

[shut bloom]

M15 AT Mine

[mortal sentinel]

nice

did you create it in blender?

[shut bloom]

Blender,Zbrush,Marmoset4, and Substance Painter

[mortal sentinel]

my item is not exporting from blender as fbx with textures, I already tried some stuff as per tutorials

it imports into enfusion as completely white, but when I open in windows it has colors but not the right ones

why so many tools btw? Couldn't that be made just with blender?

[quasi sedge]

marmo to bake, substance to paint, z brush for details, blender for modelling

some people have different work flows

[mortal sentinel]

interesting,I'll probably check them out if I get to making something more serious

[tacit eagle]

I have a vest I made in blender, it has weight paints, do I need to export the armature with the model?

[quasi sedge]

yes

wait, what armature, do you have the fixed blend?

[tacit eagle]

No

[pure kayak]

Woo

FAL sights finally working mostly

[tacit eagle]

Where can I find this?

[sick shard]

Sorry I just seen my issue haha it's just a little rotated in maya it's nothing todo with the root or anything lol

[mortal sentinel]

the problem is that they're actually not textures, I simply have colored objects and these colors are not appearing in workbench, everything's white

[thorn topaz]

In that case, in workbench, open the XOB file and you'll see your materials. From there you can change the color and other material properties. presently materials may not transfer from blender to workbench

[thorn topaz]

congrats! Lookin great

[mortal sentinel]

dang

[wanton vigil]

I just checked the weapon example model we released on GitHub and the rig seems a bit funky to me from the little I know about weapons. So I ll rather check on Monday with someone who should know better than me if it is really ok...because I am not exactly strong in rigging actually 🙂

Just be patient pls 🙂 ...most of the devs are just now getting to write/polish/release of documentations and examples and there might be errors here and there along the way. Also the docs will get better over time for sure.

[sick shard]

No worries at all I'm used to the old tools Object builder so I'm learning everything from scratch

[drifting wave]

@pure kayak Have you tried to get the reforger body into marvelous yet? When I export the model as selection only in .dae format, and after merging it, MD throws the following error:

No Body Skin Controller Failed to load the Avatar.

Nvm I'm just fucking stupid

[pure kayak]

welp

[drifting wave]

I tried importing it as an avatar instead of importing as mesh.

[thorn topaz]

is there a specific layer preset that applies physics to objects?

[wanton vigil]

Enfusion is not getting from FBX any settings regarding visual materials. Not colors or textures paths, as a lot of the shaders/materials in Enf. have totally different structure so it is safer to rather transfer nothing for now.

Yet in future versions of the Enfusion Blender tools we would love to change that. But no promises yet 😄

[mortal sentinel]

but how do I make mods then? I'm currently watching some tutorial on blender, one guess is that I have to "bake" these colors/textures so they can be imported together with fbx, but I dunno

or I have to do things differently? Create object in blender, color it elsewhere? Then import colors separately, not sure

[wanton vigil]

Register/import textures in enfusion as sepparate files. Then go into the material in enfusion and load the texture there....at least I guess you are reffereing with "colors" to textures (*.tiff, *.png, etc.) right?

The docs. on that topic is in progress.... importing textures with correct naming conventions and properties ....also on how to load them in the materials properly and so on

[mortal sentinel]

I don't have the colors as separate texture files, they seem to be just "materials" in blender, and they're made up of some nodes in the shading tool thing

[hidden yarrow]

Well

You need to make texture files

[mortal sentinel]

trying to figure that out atm, so far I've found that I need to "bake" whatever is made in blender, into texture files

[hidden yarrow]

Yeah idk if its possible to make nodes and material into a png(it probably is somehow) i just make my textures in substance which would be alot easier

[mortal sentinel]

do you also make stuff in blender, color them in substance and then add to enfusion?

I can try doing that for next item, just trying to import the current one that I already textured, if possible

[hidden yarrow]

Yeah i build the model in blender and then bake and texture in substance painter

Substance painter also has export settings made for enfusion that someone here made

[mortal sentinel]

oh nice

[sweet hill]

I've rigged a model in blender + textured, do i need to create some animations for it too before importing it to enfusion?

[calm rune]

You guys have been more then active just interacting and helping us in discord while we wait for documentation. We really have nothing to complain about. If anything thank you to you all.

[astral oar]

Finally fixed the arsenal issue to have more then one in the config file

[gusty sage]

How can I chance .xob file to .et file ?

[pure kayak]

xobs are model files

you dont change those to ET

[tacit eagle]

ET phone home

[pure kayak]

et's are prefabs, you can duplicate vanilla ones and replace models of it with your models

[tacit eagle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/819714264922062868/977217503531008040/ezgif.com-gif-maker_3.gif

[gusty sage]

ok thank

[thorny galleon]

Did sort object first but still it says no collider collection, do i need to manually make a new collection?

[knotty cedar]

if I understand correctly, Sort Objects finds the colliders (by searching for models with collider shape prefixes) and then turns them into collection but I am not 100% sure

[thorny galleon]

before - after

[tacit eagle]

i have my model proper weighted to this in blender but ingame its turned around. i havent edited the skeleton at all

[astral oar]

how many bones?

[tacit eagle]

the head bone? its just a helmet

[astral oar]

When you reinport

import how many bones

[tacit eagle]

OH

give me a second

0+0 which is clearly the issue but im not sure what i did, i exported with armature

[astral oar]

you gotta reskin

[tacit eagle]

is that in blender?

[astral oar]

no

in the engine gimme asec

[patent knoll]

anyone here working on trees? Could use them on my terrain

need more mediterranean/california trees

[timid tartan]

Hey guys, this might be a dumb question but I'm totally new in making model / blender.
So, i wanna ask that where can i find the human model or bone model that fit the character in arma reforger

[tacit eagle]

any update on where the option is lol

[tacit eagle]

[thorny galleon]

anyone know why the bones is like that?

[gusty sage]

what vertex group I need to add for Vest ? Or setup ?

[tacit eagle]

when you imported the skeleton into blender did you rotate it?

if so thats why

[astral oar]

perfect

[tacit eagle]

it works perfect now

[astral oar]

geat

[thorny galleon]

well this is what the models looks like, kinda not sure if this is right or not.

[thorn topaz]

not sure how it works but it works, was neat to watch it list and nosedive into the seabed earlier.

[knotty cedar]

Cool! What ship is this? My art graduation project years ago was a dutch 17th century eastindiaman ship rendered as game environment in Unreal. Exciting to see this stuff in Enfusion 😅

[tacit eagle]

one final thing, how do i make it not show up in first person

[thorn topaz]

@knotty cedar Oh? Do you have a portfolio or some public images of it? Would love to see!
I'm afraid it's not based on any particular ship, more of a generic Spanish Galleon design, just a testbed but I'd love to pursue something like the Batavia or a ship of the line.

I'm hoping next to learn how to socket some rigging in place and climb it as a ladder.

[wheat bay]

Anybody figure out how to change the Magazine Well on a Weapon Prefab?

[tidal latch]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation#Setting_zeroing_adjustments

[thorn topaz]

drat, applied to prefab and now it's back to being static, back to the drawing board

or not, dropped a BTR on it and the ship woke up, so it needs.. something to activate it

[knotty cedar]

Sorry going off topic 😅

[thorn topaz]

Ah yes, well I cannot let it pass without compliment, the detail of the rigging and tackle running across the ship looks great! I'll stop the deviation now, thank you for sharing ^^

[wheat bay]

When I try and change the Magazine Well Class, after I apply it to prefab, it reverts back to the whatever it was before.

[tidal latch]

Try using inheritance tree maybe?

[wheat bay]

?

[tidal latch]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding#Method_2:_Use_Inheritance_Tree

[wheat bay]

Managed to fix it. But created a new prefab and it seemed to fix it.

[odd granite]

anyone know how to have my new ammo and weapon show up in the armory? cant find the documentation any help would be appreciated

[astral oar]

#enfusion_resources

I have a small video showing how to

[odd granite]

ty

[wheat bay]

Is there a way to change Hand Positions on a gun?

Last thing I need to do and I will have successfully brought a Tompson into the game

[wanton vigil]

Ok so when you have just plain color assigned in Blender (or any other 3D suit) material, there is now really no way to transfere the color to enfusion.

[dense plover]

Anyone got a good idea on max amount of Tris a LOD 0 weapon model should have?

[wanton vigil]

Yeah this is actually very common workflow. It will be more obvious when we release docs on the texture formats

[pure kayak]

quick question about launchers

im trying to set up a disposible launcher, do i need two models to do the "unfolding" of the launcher?

[wanton vigil]

As low as possible while looking good 😀, I guess check the vanilla weapons

[kind pawn]

Hey, all! Working on a Hat, all works fine however I can see the Hat from First-Person... Any thoughts on what I've missed? Thanks!

[mental onyx]

Has anyone been able to Configure variable zoom for binocular? I Just cant get it to work whatever I try.

[bitter quartz]

Do I have to make a new model for each attachment variant a weapon has?

[pure kayak]

pretty sure its a no to that patrick

[bitter quartz]

Ahh but I have to do a prefab for each, right?

[neat canopy]

Hey, I can´t find the "Collision layers page" wich to is refered in the FBX Import Wiki Page, where it say´s all the colliders "usage parameters" are listed? Like "FireGeo" Where can I find them?

[delicate condor]

Since this was left a bit open, yes you can bake node materials into textures out of blender which pretty much is same as making textures in substance painter. SB is more dedicated tool for it so it has more ready tools and less manual setup.

@hidden yarrow for you too

[eager hill]

You have to make a prefab for each attachment and on weapon you need to set attachment slots on position of memory points. Look up how m16 is made in game.

[pure kayak]

so i got the RPG 18 from arma 2 and im trying to test it, but i cant work out how to copy the LAW prefab

i cnat seem to change the 'loaded" model

[astral oar]

lets go

[bitter quartz]

How would I show a dynamic value e.g. "Range" in a scope?

[mortal sentinel]

thank you, now I will know. I'll probably try exporting the default blender cube, add some texture in substance and see if that works then

[digital vector]

Hello everyone, I don't understand why the bones are not exported from blender?.

https://gyazo.com/38e4d037a9c5b62c70542a66b134eada

[tidal latch]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation#Skeleton_.26_hierarchy

[bitter quartz]

any clues on that?

[mortal sentinel]

guys, when you import fbx from blender to enfusion tool, do you have your items combined all into one or they're separate like in blender?

for some reason I have two combined into one, when I have it in enfusion

[tidal latch]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Import_process_in_the_Workbench keep in mind that turning it off is bad for optimization

[digital vector]

That's exactly what I do

https://gyazo.com/834ac47d7d6d0df896942f9da9c94cf4

[mortal sentinel]

ok if I rename one of the parts to LOD1, it's now separate, but not rendering

[tidal latch]

can you show your import settings in workbench?

[mortal sentinel]

I can't attach anything

I'm missing a role?

[bitter quartz]

gotta upload the image somewhere and post the link

e.g. Imgur or Gyazo

oh and I can upload directly too

[mortal sentinel]

dam son

arma is getting tactical

[ancient chasm]

Hi guys, when i import the fbx form into the enfusion, there aren’t shown any bone there. Do you have any same?

[mortal sentinel]

is there something special I have to do to apply normal mapping texture to my object and then the color? I added two textures, but it shows only one

[last hill]

Check to make sure you enabled export skinning on the xob import options

[mortal sentinel]

or maybe it's not the right place where I'm putting them, I put under bcr map

[last hill]

The textures are applied using the material editor on the engine itself, they combine together via material layers, if that isn't what you mean, sorry

[ancient chasm]

Ok i would check

[mortal sentinel]

uh lemme see. I simply imported my object into workbench and thought I could apply textures there as well

here I mean

dude this is confusing

[atomic musk]

bread

🍞

[mortal sentinel]

ye man, I'm trying to import my first ever creation, I need this juicer in arma

[atomic musk]

By God...

[mortal sentinel]

bite it

[sly bridge]

easy on the self promotion. Also 70k verts is a bit much

[mortal sentinel]

what's confusing is how are things imported into enfusion. Pretty much I have three parts - the bread, the icing, the sprinkles. Something to do with the LOD suffixes?

I have none atm

[atomic musk]

70k?

God damn.

[sly bridge]

i am reading what you have posted 69 tris 74 verts

[zinc crow]

"game ready" "70k verts" 😄

[last hill]

I'm dropping the verts. That is 70k with all of the components enabled, but anyway, I didn't actually realise one post for folk to learn, my apologies

[zinc crow]

and then people complain about garbage performance in games 😄

[tulip sail]

70k aint that bad for modern games for hero items.

[nimble sonnet]

70k should be okay

[sly bridge]

the garbage performance is due to people not actually making their own content

[zinc crow]

it can work well with one or two characters, but then on a mp server you suddenly have 30 people in your view

[sly bridge]

it isn't a hero item though, you have multiple characters on screen most of the times

[atomic musk]

try harderder

[mortal sentinel]

pls, what did I do wrong on my blender export/enfusion import? I have two meshes under one material, but one of the meshes is not rendering

in blender I have Donut_LOD0, Icing_LOD1, sprinkles have no suffix

[atomic musk]

Someone help this man, it's important.

[mortal sentinel]

nope, there was no definition..

[hidden yarrow]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/LOD

[dry gazelle]

LOD = level of detail

[hidden yarrow]

Same stuff basically

[mortal sentinel]

oh

then it's not what I need I guess

[atomic musk]

Not me thinking LOD stood for Line of Duty Death.

[dry gazelle]

sometimes it does

[mortal sentinel]

but then if I don't need LOD suffixes, I'm confuzzled about how to properly import my meshes as separate items so I can apply texture separately

in enfusion?

yea for some reason it imports into enfusion as two objects, instead of three wtf

enfusion says I have 2 meshes and 2 materials, but really should be 3

[dim gate]

anyone has any idea how to fix this ?
i used New weapon sample as a template

the animation works, but the model parts for each are misplaced

so far, i tried to delete and put back the bone selection, except it only bug them out

[mortal sentinel]

ok if I untick "Merge meshes" in enfusion, then I have everything separated, but that wasn't recommended for performance?

doesn't help me apply texture separately anyway I guess

[daring condor]

Consider that in Arma specifically you tend to have lots and lots of the same assets in a scene

[daring condor]

My favourite thing is people not using any LODs, at some point I was checking out some gun mod for a3, not only did the author leave the mlod in, it also had around 30k tris. No LODs and the lod0 as shadow lod

[zinc crow]

yeah, that happens all the time

[mental onyx]

Yeah and yet the mod has 0 performance impact. I have done this, altough with a sniper rifle used for my unit. And whenever the sniper is used by our recon team, you cannot notice a performance decrease at all. Possibly because its only 1 of that asset spawned in at once.

But Even in trainings where we had several of the same gun actively used you couldnt notice any decrease in fps

Obviously im not trying to argue that its not a bad modding practice. It definitely is, but it doesnt have such a major performance impact some people claim.

[daring condor]

very bad practice

what you are doing is making other, properly made assets, look worse

because the higher polycount forces other assets into higher lods

the game will compensate for your lack of lods by bumping other models up

[round orbit]

Anyone have tips for fitting clothing to a model?

[mental onyx]

I actually didnt know about this, cant say I have noticed this either tbh. Never have I ever seen other models degrade when we have used those Rifles a lot. But yeah like I said, im not arguing against it being a terrible practice. Ofc it is

[daring condor]

lattice modifiers

[dense fossil]

u could use this blender plug in --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwdYLrIrWJ8

nice job Lewd, good to see u in here 🙂

[daring condor]

would destroy the mesh since it basically just shrinkwraps it

[dense fossil]

yeah very true, scratch that lol

[round orbit]

Lattice is working good :D

Fifth day doing mods, not too bad

[mortal sentinel]

look at this dripping juicer

[calm rune]

Let me post this in here and pray for a fix 🤣 HELP PLEASE!

[dim gate]

i remember somebody talking about it

god this is why we need a subforum for reforger in BIS forums

[sweet hill]

Any ideas why im only getting one material in workbench? Im using 3 different materials for different areas for the textures of my model

[mental onyx]

Why remove that? Immersion 😂

[calm rune]

Because it’s really buggy 🤣 when you look up and ADS the weapon clips through the bib of the hat LOL. Also when you are prone the bib and even helmet covers 70% of your FOV including the rifle haha

Literally the only thing hold me back from publishing.. so annoying lol

[dim gate]

remind me of the army, fucking helmet with shit strap kept going in front of my sight when i was prone lol

[mortal sentinel]

I had the same issue, you have to rename the materials in blender. Mine were Material.001, Material.002 etc. and were combined into one, when imported into workbench

[sweet hill]

ohh i see

tyvm

probably should have chosen a smaller weapon other than the SIG SPEAR for my first modded gun 😂

[sly bridge]

@sweet hillnais, do you have such a sig spear already modelled?

[willow sage]

I applied skeleton in blender for the shirt and after import to enfusion there is no bones for that model

[sweet hill]

in the rough revisions atm 😛

[balmy hemlock]

Is there any guides for getting a gun into the game? I've made a simple low poly rifle for testing but I find the official weapon creation guide pretty confusing

[zenith quartz]

Nice! I'm planning to make one soon too :D

[sweet hill]

Ayy cant wait to see them start popping up haha, such a cool weapon

[patent knoll]

I am once again asking about vegetation and buildings in what I hope is the right channel

[sweet hill]

im still learning too, found it very useful to go over the sample weapon and compare it to the wiki guide

[proven igloo]

Yeay created my first object for Reforger. Its super simple.

[sweet hill]

everon life? 👀

[mortal sentinel]

exile mod lets gooo

[calm rune]

After importing did you go to import settings on the right and select "Export Skinning" then "Reimport Resource"?

[bright raft]

So after creating weapon and attachments prefabs, how to I add it to arsenal and publish it?

[calm rune]

#enfusion_resources message

[bright raft]

Thanks, And later just publish it?

[willow sage]

Will try now, thanks!

[calm rune]

Yup!

[willow sage]

Still zero bones 😭

[calm rune]

Are you using the proper skeleton?

[bitter quartz]

Does an item need a hitbox to be picked up?

[willow sage]

I belive so, its form arma character smaples

[calm rune]

That one is bugged as far as I know. Here is the current fixed one.

[willow sage]

Omg, thanks very much!

[calm rune]

np!

[calm rune]

When exporting "un-check" leaf bones and Set smoothing to "edge".

[bitter quartz]

How exactly do i export colliders from blender into enfusion?

[calm rune]

Need to have the Blender enfusion tool addon.

[bitter quartz]

Do you have a link by any chance?

[calm rune]

It’s already in your Arma reforager folder

[bitter quartz]

Oh its within the Tools directory, found it 👍

Thanks

[crystal zodiac]

Hello, im trying to import a car into Arma Reforger, but i got the Problem that i cant create new Bones for the driver getin actions etc. Anyone got a idea ?

[bitter quartz]

Theres this image in the documentation, but I cant seem to find where this is in blender: https://community.bistudio.com/wikidata/images/0/0f/armareforger-fbx-layers-blender-2.png

[calm rune]

When you installed the addon push “N” and it will bring up a side menu on the right. Then click where it says enfusion tools

[bitter quartz]

Do I have to name a layer a certain way?
https://imgur.com/a/finCDrU

[tacit eagle]

sort first

the option right above

[bitter quartz]

Ohh, thank you

[spring pond]

does anyone know which components or parts of soldier prefab contain fields that would allow me to modify highlighted elements?

[fathom bolt]

i have a problem with my scope the scope is not in the weapon but in the bottom

like this : https://imgur.com/a/MOlvnP7

[bright raft]

So i published as private, now how do I load it ingame?

[spring pond]

in that same window where u publish you will have an ioption to bundle that and iirc when you press that then it will create 'loacal' version which you have to enable every time when you start the game

[mortal sentinel]

any tips for making a pistol for reforger? Probably slider and trigger should be separate objects, but do I need to add animations for them in blender?

[spring pond]

check weapon prefab to see how it works and whats its made out of and additionally there is artile on wiki about modding and iirc adding new weapon

[bright raft]

I had to bundle it before publishing, but no luck . Does Working Dir parameter matter?

[nimble sonnet]

Yes.

[spring pond]

dont think so as mine looks simmilar to yours and ir works but make sure that mod folder is in Documents\my games\ArmaReforger\addons

[calm rune]

when you publish as private just go to your "downloaded" its already there for you.

[mortal sentinel]

alright, I'll check it

[bright raft]

It is there, And publish folder is in Documents\My games\ArmaReforger\publish and there is my bundle
However addons folder contains only downloaded files

[bright raft]

Unfortunately, no luck

[spring pond]

for me its in Documents\my games\ArmaReforger\addons\Wz 93 Pantera (where 'wz 93...' is that mod) but maybe you created your mod outside of this folder but i dont think thats gonna be a problem as i was moving this folder in and out (with close workbench) few times

so maybe copy your mod folder to addons folder

if you dont know where your mod is loacated then in workbench go to anny asset that you created/modded and RMB->"show in explorer" as that should open that folder for you

[bright raft]

Ohhh that might be an issue

I created my project in different directiory. Did not know that project = mod

[sweet hill]

definitely messed up the scale of my model lmao, anyway to edit the scale in the workbench? Or do i need to scale it in blender and re-import

[fathom bolt]

nobody for this problem ?

[spring pond]

check in your prefab where is positon for that weapon or scope

[fathom bolt]

position is good it's only change when i look inside

[willow sage]

Thanks, i will follow that.
Just to be clear, there is no need to export skeleton also ?

[spring pond]

then check scope prefab and there is probably a component that is responsible for actions or some scope functionality (in world editor -> edit prefab)

[bright raft]

Any idea why attachments do not appear in the Arsenal Box?

[calm rune]

skeleton yes, vanilla model no.

[willow sage]

This is not vanilla model

I just making sure 😄

[calm rune]

Oh okay then yes the skeleton has to also be exported 🤣

[willow sage]

Thanks!

[fathom bolt]

@mental onyx I have the same problem for the scope

did you find a solution ?

[willow sage]

Every piece of gear independently with a skeleton ?

[calm rune]

Yup!

[willow sage]

Need to aplly modifiers ?

[calm rune]

no!

[mental onyx]

Your sightpicture is also under the scope?

[fathom bolt]

yes

[mental onyx]

Was never able to fix it properly. But you can offset it using the camera point in the scope Prefab. But I have no clue why it does this...

[bright raft]

In SCR_SomethingPIP there is camera position point

You can move the gizmo inside the prefab

[mental onyx]

Yes but the thing is, in order for the scope to have the sightpicture proper I had to take that camera point and offset it far above the scope.

That doesnt make sense to me, and definitely isnt how it should be done

[spring pond]

iirc there is already a mod that adds rifle optic so you can downlaod that and open it with workbench to see how its setup for that scope

nvm there is already an optic in game

[bright raft]

On private mod there are no screenshots, right?

[fathom bolt]

https://imgur.com/a/Y79ELSj

https://imgur.com/a/g1j0W56

doesnt work

[mental onyx]

Yes and If I keep my camera point just like that one has, my sight picture is waaay below the gun

https://imgur.com/8qgpkJ2

What you're seeing there in the top of the sight is the suppressor on the rifle..

Makes no sense

[bitter quartz]

How do i export memory points as Bones or Pivots from blender? https://imgur.com/a/b95DABz

[calm rune]

Damn. One of the mods on the workshop is almost 200mb for just a gun, helmet and mags LOL

[bitter quartz]

Ok idk what I did, but it seems to work now. Maybe it was also including "Custom Properties" or reimporting the model

[astral oar]

Yeah even a small mod is around 13 or so

Since most mods are using prefabs of base game stuff

[bitter quartz]

Can someone help me with this?: #enfusion_scripting message

[willow sage]

lol

I bet it 156 bones in total was fine

[astral oar]

It has to be

163

[calm rune]

Did you transfer weights?

[astral oar]

Weights aren’t a issue

[willow sage]

Yes automatic

[astral oar]

The bones are I’m pretty sure

Your missing bones somewhere

Every mod I’ve helped that has that issue is because the total bone count is not 163

[bitter quartz]

How can i update a model and update every prefab using it?

[astral oar]

In terms of a workshop release?

[bitter quartz]

nope in terms of workbench

[astral oar]

Think you can override instead of duplicating it

Try that

[bitter quartz]

"Reimport resources" doesnt really reimport the FBX

it seems

[calm rune]

did you export with the settings I showed you in the picture above?

settings from workbench and blender export?

[willow sage]

Yes, for every item independently

[digital vector]

Do you have to do something in particular to have an addaction on an object?

https://gyazo.com/51085a909b4509263a7b651c9646c0fc

[willow sage]

its showing me there is 155 bones

[astral oar]

Okay

Try this skeleton

[astral oar]

^

[bitter quartz]

How do i actually get the PIP Material into a scope model?

[willow sage]

On it!

[calm rune]

I gave him the same exact one.

Works for all of my exports.

[willow sage]

Maybe i'm not choosing something very important on scene

[calm rune]

I'd need to actually see what your doing to make sure. Text isn't easy.

[astral oar]

Sometimes blender is wacky

[willow sage]

This Widow's one is also

[astral oar]

hmm

lemme go check some stuff real quick

[willow sage]

no need to hurry bro

[astral oar]

should work

okay when you export

do this

Make sure this is checked

and this is unchecked

[willow sage]

Yeah, what in case when i need to export 3 objects

One FBX will handle it ?

[astral oar]

yeah

when i do any of the mods i've put out

i only have one object connected to the skele

[willow sage]

So its better to have one object even on scene

[astral oar]

yeah

since your doing a jacket

this is how i set mine up

[willow sage]

Vergy, Widow thanks i will try it asap.

[astral oar]

old tanker jacket i had working in game

i only have one fbx/object connected to the root

[willow sage]

okay

[bitter quartz]

And the Material
https://imgur.com/a/lbsGv3K

[astral oar]

at least he bones are setup right

[willow sage]

automatic weights 😄

[astral oar]

now you just gotta weight it lol

[willow sage]

yup

[astral oar]

have fun lol

[willow sage]

Thanks!

[astral oar]

that neck will be toxic even after fixing weighting

clips a lot

[willow sage]

I don't know if I can pm you Widow, but I bet these weights shouldn't be like this.

[bitter quartz]

Any clues on why my PIP Scope is upside down? https://imgur.com/a/3vOkHz9

Uhm, how do I do that?

Within blender or enfusion

[primal swallow]

I hope someone makes a model of woman soldiers? 😄

[astral oar]

I will be in vc in a little and will show you how I get mine to look good

[willow sage]

Okay, waiting.

[bitter quartz]

I've unwrapped the UV, what do you mean by "scale to bounds" exactly?

https://imgur.com/a/GPRktSi

[sly bridge]

it needs to be in the UV 0-1 space

[bitter quartz]

Where do I find the "Project from View" window?

Ahhhh

And then just save when I've unwrapped it?

[mortal sentinel]

what should be an easier item to create and add to the game - a pistol or some type of gear? Scope?

[bitter quartz]

Thanks @tacit eagle , it works now 👍

[mortal sentinel]

like a hat maybe? Is adding a scope difficult? Other than creating the model first

[kind pawn]

Did you get a fix?

[calm rune]

Nope

[astral oar]

Gotta add headclipping material to the opac map

As well as enabling both alphas

[kind pawn]

@calm rune Yes, like Widow said^ https://i.imgur.com/lxaE1hN.png

[calm rune]

Thanks to you both. Now I just need to figure out how to make an opac map 🤣

[astral oar]

don't have to

the game has the headclipping texture already in it

[kind pawn]

^ https://i.imgur.com/rTF1wO8.png

[astral oar]

Just click that button and look it up

[calm rune]

THANK YOU.

[mortal sentinel]

is it possible to take an existing original weapon and export it so I can edit the model in blender and import back into enfusion?

[mental onyx]

Not legally no

[mortal sentinel]

oh

[digital vector]

Do you have any idea why my door is turning but not in the axis I want?

https://gyazo.com/3ec217005a68fbaa3016b8ab4303d897

[bitter quartz]

How can I improve the vignette thingy, the PIP is only visible at the right angle https://imgur.com/a/rCdv6cw

[eager hill]

Why sometimes object can't be picked up? I get something like this

[bitter quartz]

Try to add RplComponent to the Prefab

[eager hill]

Works perfectly

[bitter quartz]

Should the eye bone be fairly close to the optics or further away, if it makes a difference?

I have it like this atm https://imgur.com/a/1jMzJP5

Which direction is the correct "front" in blender?

[calm rune]

Well thanks too the help I only have 2 game breaking bugs before TFC Alpha release 0.1

• When detaching a sight and re-attaching it does not sit in its proper location on the rail
• When dropping clothing it disappears

If anyone has Ideas on how to fix both, it would be greatly appreciated.

[bitter quartz]

Does your clothing have a hitbox? It might be falling trough the map

[calm rune]

It may not.. god damnit lol

[opaque yarrow]

y+

[eager hill]

Any idea what may be causing this? I tried to move optics_front memory point forward but it changed exactly nothing

[lone ocean]

hi can i import mods from arma 3 tools on steam to consoles yet on arma

[dim gate]

you can import P3D files only by using blender with the bugged Reforge tool, using the bugged samples and finally using the bugged reforger tool to make it into a mod

[mortal sentinel]

someone really needs to make a full tutorial for new weapons, with info about scopes, animations, hand placement etc

[dim gate]

animation
hand placement
you can already forget about it, the txa export from blender is bugged and won't work, getting new animation is close to impossible atm

somebody in the animation tab explained how to do it but apparently it work only when it desire and it's a pain in the ass to do it

[mortal sentinel]

that's a bummer

so I guess adding bolt action rifles is a nope

[dim gate]

atm yes

[lone ocean]

i have arma reforger free trial does anyone have giveaway code for full version of arma for xbox consoles

[dim gate]

until BI get their shit together and fix it

[mortal sentinel]

ok

anyway, I'll probably start with a pistol, at least it won't need different hand placement etc

[dim gate]

honestly i prefer that they fix the server issue first and then deal with the tools

making mods is great but nobody can use them is pretty much useless

[mortal sentinel]

oh yea, I would like to play multiplayer, haven't done that since I bought it

[dim gate]

lol same

[lone ocean]

i have arma reforger free trial does anyone have giveaway code for full version of arma for xbox consoles

[dim gate]

beg one more time and you can say goodbye forever

animation is not possible atm, bugged txa export tool
for position i've done it by moving the object in blender

so in your case you just have to change its position slightly forward so it matches the hand of the character

[eager hill]

For anyone wondering how to make scopes. Point from which PiP camera takes image is not defined by memory points, but by Camera Point property in 2DSights setting. It doesn't matter that you're creating Picture-In-Picture and don't give a fuck about 2D scopes, you have to set it there.

Also what's important. It's not enough to place this point directly in front of lens. It has to be higher. For instance I had to place it like this to make it work correctly

[eager hill]

in case of my scope it was 0.173, but it's not correct. Give me a minute and I'll explain how to set it properly

Tip of the day. You can move camera behind the scope. Using default reticle from ARTII scope, you can place it in center of the scope you're trying to add. After you're done with setting the height, just move it in Z axis so it is in front of the scope

[valid apex]

i import my fbx its all one mesh and the uv are fine but once i get it into the engine this weird texture comes on it has does anyone know how to fix this

[violet smelt]

Does anyone know how to get a texture file in reforger?

[eager hill]

if you mean importing, then you can just drag it into resource browser

[violet smelt]

.edds file extension

[eager hill]

it should create automatically for you

[violet smelt]

Create from what?

A png?

[eager hill]

from .png or whatever you throw at it

[violet smelt]

I can't even set the map if it's not a .edds

[round orbit]

What are you guys using to wrap clothing around the body? Lattice?

[valid apex]

i dont think so i have no idea where to look for that

[round orbit]

Who are you talking to lewd?

[valid apex]

no i got it off of sketchfab i took it though blender to and fix the textures in photoshop

that work, thanks for the help

[round orbit]

What's the best way to make my clothing fit the body?

[sly bridge]

make your own?

[round orbit]

Solid answer thanks

[dim gate]

lattice modifier in blender

[loud glacier]

Would anyone be able to tell me why my custom model isn't replacing the duplicated prefabs original model? It does show that the mesh object is the custom model but in the view port its the regular vest

[dim gate]

there's two models for clothing and gear, one that is an item you'll see on the ground, one you'll see when you wear it

did you checked both ? maybe you are seeing the vanilla item and not the custom model one because you don't wear it

[loud glacier]

I completely forgot that you have to switch the worn model so thanks for that, but that still doesn't didn't do much, I did notice that when I switch the entity instance with that drop down menu and disable the meshobject for all the instance including the base game instances, the vest model still appears in the viewport, normally when I would disable the meshobject, the mesh would disappear as it should, but not with this

Oh wait nvm i figured how the issue lol, turns out the problem was that i forgot to change the worn model thanks!

[dim gate]

ah nice

i haven't touched clothing yet, but i eventually have to

[blazing agate]

hello! you guys know if theres a tutorial for making asset collision?

[dim gate]

should just be a simple geometry LOD, nothing too complex

you need to give it a proper name in blender tho

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

here you go, that should tell you everything about collider

[blazing agate]

oh thanks a lot!

[summer spade]

Hey, how complicated is it to get in new character models that are animated and suhc?

[digital vector]

Good evening, so is there a way to move the root scene from this central position?

[sick shard]

Not that I'm aware of I've tried with no luck but I did find that my bones positions are slightly rotated making the bolt and such go on an angle

[calm rune]

That moderator tag means a couple things you do is keep the peace and help others. Not respond to someone's question with a rude response. Fitting the model to the character and making your own are two completely different things. This behavior will just make people want to not ask over fear of being talked down on.

[thorny galleon]

Anyone know by any chance on how to disable my headgear from appearing when going into first person?

[daring blade]

Any good tutorials for turning my model into a wearable object? https://i.imgur.com/5nkL5Us.png

[rain wadi]

is it your model?

[calm rune]

It's not his. Looks like one ive seen on CG trader. Doesn't matter thought.

[thorny galleon]

Cheers broda

[rain wadi]

Better question then: does he have the rights for this model? I can help him but I won't help if he's just stealing stuff.

[digital vector]

Ok, I can't find either because my animation uses the wrong bone... https://gyazo.com/693bab6e868d0a7e3b177c1bd4cfdb98
And it uses the scene root and not the other
