Yeah sure, I know you use 3ds. But 3d is 3d, so if you saw a tutorial that you think is very good for game assets, then that is still relevant 😄

@shut bloom I feel like half the people here could use some tie feedback

[eager hill]

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three

I was bored

and it works like a grenade should

[shut bloom]

tie feedback?

[eager hill]

are there any rabbits on everon?

[bitter tendon]

not anymore

[thorn topaz]

o lord bless this thy holy hand grenade, that with it thyst may blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy

[shut bloom]

I have no clue what you are trying to tell me.

[daring condor]

Ah fair enough, I thought I remembered you being active on the blender discord

Probably confused you for someone

Disregard

@sly bridge how does moderation staff feel about linking to external servers, like the blender community one

[mortal sentinel]

this NEEDS the halleluyah sound

[daring condor]

I think it could be useful and better suited for people wanting to learn that specific software than this place

[mortal sentinel]

there was a mod in dayz for such grenade

[kindred thistle]

Hey guys, I made textures for this gun from scratch using substance, and used color IDs. Can I get rid of the color IDs in the Workbench?

[hidden yarrow]

put the textures over it?

[kindred thistle]

They are

I guess

[thorn topaz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ashgP4YMdJw

[hidden yarrow]

oh just remove the color id from blender then?

[thorn topaz]

gotta go to the source

[hidden yarrow]

i dont think so

where are the texture files

[kindred thistle]

in the data folder seen in the screenshot. I also made a .emat for it

The textures are visible below the color IDs

[hidden yarrow]

inthat case just remove the color id in blender?

[kindred thistle]

okay

Hoped there was a way to do it in the workbench

[hidden yarrow]

probably is i just dont know how sorry

maybe pufu does

[sly bridge]

no issue, but blender & discord user are already aware of it

[sly bridge]

have a look over the xob i guess

[mortal sentinel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj05NwAzkIk&ab_channel=ChamferZone this is a very sexy gun

arimus is a great guy to learn stuff from

[mortal sentinel]

angry cube owl grenade, that could be a thing in arma

I'll probably drop dead before I watch all of these videos, but I'll watch some and make some stuff

maybe better that way instead of going from donut to a gun

[mental onyx]

Ive watched a lot of his videos, I agree they are great

[spring pond]

idk if you managed to solve this issue but now i see my flag post in the game but for some reason when i try to search for it by name it wont showup but its there and it works

[mental onyx]

I also like https://youtu.be/xOiVIeOxrMU this guy, has some paid courses but some really good free ones as well

[terse star]

I followed the documentation, still doesn't show up

[sly bridge]

what i am trying to say is that out of the entire bunch, the self entitled blender guru is one of the worst

[spring pond]

(i did not XD) i have to verify to make sure that i know why it works but ill let u know what i did to make it work

[terse star]

On my side i did what's in the doc that just been released

MP me when you know :)

[round orbit]

Anyone have good art reference websites? Like side, front, top views of weapons or cars?

[fathom bolt]

https://www.artstation.com/

you can find some good art here but u need to search for reference in google, on video, forum ...

[spring pond]

ive checked and it seems like it might have been working for me from the beginning but since it wasnt showing up when i was searching (by name - even tho that name is displayed in the zeus 'spawning menu') for it i assumed that it wasnt there but...

1. Override prefab of existing flag pole (from PrefabsEditable/Auto/Structures/Military/Flags/E_FlagPole_02_V1_US.et - notice that its one from "PrefabsEDITABLE" instead of just "Prefabs")
2. Inherit from that 'override'
3. changed what i needed - model, texutres etc
4. save
5. override config/editor/placeableEntities/objects/Structures_Military.conf
6. added to overriding version of Structures_Military.conf my new prefab
   and thats it 😮 (the suspect that the issue with searching comes down to the fact that i didnt use proper localisation string in prefab name - in SCR_PrefabEditableComponent - and just placed what i wanted to see in game in that place)

[terse star]

I did all of that already when I posted my stuff

[minor crystal]

what are your export settings in Substance?

it should never really output the colorID map unless you tell it to lol

[terse star]

I just missed that Editor/Modes/... that is in the doc

but still doesn't work lol

[minor crystal]

josh is amazing, love him

[spring pond]

but did you went through and manually checked every page in zeus asset spawning menu to see if its no there

cuz that was the problem for me

[kindred thistle]

Not sure, but now I downloaded a spexp for reforger exports, it seems to be much better

[terse star]

I did couples times xD

[spring pond]

ok then idk 😄

[minor crystal]

you probably used a bad export preset then for sure

[mental onyx]

Yeah I agree

[minor crystal]

kinda looks like the metallic/roughness is missing

[kindred thistle]

yeah, need to tweak exports and such

[minor crystal]

i think the normals are doing a bit of weirdness too? idk looks off to me

i can send you what i export as

[kindred thistle]

yeah pls

[minor crystal]

also did this on release night, haven't really had the time to work on it since

[dense plover]

Large

[kindred thistle]

Damn

[minor crystal]

beeg dmr

[dense plover]

The Reach DMR is the best one

[minor crystal]

i love it so much, i spend so much time on recreating it but worth it

still my favorite work

[dense plover]

You did a very good job

[minor crystal]

thanks^^

[minor crystal]

go ahead and create an export preset and set it up like this:

with these set to red and green respectively

the Blue is metallic in the NMO and Alpha in BCR is roughness

oh and alpha on NMO is mixedAO

[kindred thistle]

alright, thx!

[eager hill]

Or just use this preset

[minor crystal]

or that yea

[eager hill]

it's the same, but you won't have to learn it. Although I recommend you to find out how to do it

[minor crystal]

although i don't think it'd hurt to know how to set them up yourself either, in general for other games n use cases n such

exactly

[tulip sail]

how come when i drop my item from wearing it. it floats?

before i pick it up.

after i drop it again

nm fixed it 😄

[eager hill]

Is it possible to add proper holo sights? Reticle in them should be focused at some point ahead of weapon and I haven't seen any option for this

[astral oar]

pot

[willow sage]

Guys how to remove this effect ?

[tulip sail]

add opacity texture to it. like on the other helmets.

[willow sage]

on it!

[willow sage]

Picked vanilla one, didn't helped 😦

[slender steeple]

Hello guys I've a question ,if a buy a 3d model from CGtrader ,how hard it is to put it in the game ,I've no experience what so ever in modding

[minor crystal]

its not so hard however make sure the model you buy allows you to re-distribute it as a free mod

[slender steeple]

Yeahhh , forgot about this ,ty

[south hornet]

When importing an FBX from blender with vertex colors set, it looks like the in-game model is tinted by the vertex colors. Is there any way to get rid of that short of removing the vertex colors from the original model (which I need for ID masking in Substance painter) ?

[unique current]

any reason my material is not showing on my model after import, even though texture is applied to material (see top right)? in fact, background of screen is gray

[modest horizon]

anyone got an documention on making new compositions

[unique current]

figured it out for anybody wondering-- model was scaled too big and apparently that prevents it from having the texture applied. why? idk...

[plucky rover]

It's fucking huge lol

Look at the little tiny grid i love it

[unique current]

i get that a lot

[plucky rover]

Uh huh sure

[opal moat]

interested in potentially making uniforms/weapons in Enfusion. I am still learning Blender but I have some experience. How much time and frustration should I expect to make decent quality mods as a newbie?

(Posted this in the wrong channel before)

[plucky rover]

Since you have access to all of the game objects and assets in reforger you could potentially have something working in a few hours

[sharp mist]

Hello, does anyone know why my memory points might not be seen by arma tools? In a vehicle model.

[plucky rover]

Import settings, make sure youre importing scene hierarchy

[sharp mist]

could you show me an example of how it should be set up?

[willow sage]

Hero!
BTW nice canadian stuff ;)
2kres ?

[calm rune]

Yes 2k! Everything was 4k but it was just way to big in file size. So I asked what BI used and Sasha said 2k so I switched.

[willow sage]

It looks nice, i downgraded all uniforms to 2k too

[calm rune]

switching from 4k too 2k made the size go from 360mb to 109mb.

[willow sage]

How many items ?

[daring condor]

You putting an entire uniform per texture?

Or one piece

[willow sage]

Piece by piece

[calm rune]

No it is split piece by piece.

[daring condor]

Ah yeah, fair

[analog zenith]

where are you planning on posting videos on those?, if you will make videos on them that is.

[daring condor]

I should get around to try something with reforger

But the lack of actual editor makes me not that enthusiastic

[calm rune]

what do you mean actual editor?

[willow sage]

Me neither, always f***ing up something.

[daring condor]

I hope they put the actual 3den editor from a3 in it

And allow us to make missions easier

Basically

I just want full a4 lol

But yes I know

I gotta wait

I'll finish some stuff for a3 then see if I make some tests for refrogger

[calm rune]

Does anyone know how to make multiple camo variants for the same uniform? I hope I dont need to make multiple prefabs of the same model.

[willow sage]

Yes

Bro, I just turn PC off

[willow sage]

But actually yes, you need to duplicate prefab.

[plucky rover]

you should have a collection in your blender file called memory points

Place all empties in there

Then make all empties children of the w_root bone (if you don't know how to do that i can't help you.)

[sharp mist]

I'll try that, thanks

[opal moat]

I’m really intimidated by texturing. Can someone link some good resources for learning that worked for them?

[hidden yarrow]

Depends on what you are wanting to do and what kind of program you plan on using

[opal moat]

Plan on using blender. I will mainly be focusing on weapons and uniforms for the time being.

[plucky rover]

blender by itself is not very powerful for texturing work, it'll let you brush some colors onto a texture but anything more complex will probably require an actual image editor like gimp or photoshop

Or you could use substance or quixel

[hidden yarrow]

Do you also plan on texturing in blender? If so id recommend Substance Painter

It will be alot easier

[plucky rover]

Substance gives you a free trial for 30 days i think

After that you can just buy it for like 150

[hidden yarrow]

https://youtu.be/umDB-Eq7MJI with this video you can kind of get an idea on whats what with Substance Painter

[astral oar]

Couldn’t today probably tomorrow if I have time

[hidden yarrow]

The answer to your question is yes btw id love a tutorial for all of it

[astral oar]

❤️

[analog zenith]

awesome, no hurry ofc

[astral oar]

might do something tonight probs

[wheat bay]

How do you set the class of a Scope for attachment?

Found it

[worthy citrus]

How do I make a new prefab based on building_base? when I duplicate it doest save when I edit it

nvm had to reopen the tools, also when I add a door to a socket its sideways, is there a way to fix that without it flipping over when I open it?

[dim gate]

yearly payment, right ?

[plucky rover]

substance is on steam for a flat price, idk if it gets updates tho

[round orbit]

Can we not have more than 1 material per xob? I have a shirt and gloves, both having seperate materials. The shirt displays the correct texture but the gloves only display the normal.

[plucky rover]

you can have as many materials as you want usually

there might be an issue with your material export

[plucky rover]

It's messed up on both gloves i assume?

[round orbit]

Yeah it's wierd

[plucky rover]

Kind of a long shot but I'm not exactly sober buuut is your normals facing the correct direction in blender

[round orbit]

yeah

[plucky rover]

k

i only asked cause the mechanix text on the glove appears to be backwards

[plucky rover]

I'm going to go on a whim and assume the object naming is not your problem but honestly i wouldn't be surprised if it was

[dim gate]

i was about to say that

object naming matters

[round orbit]

even if I only keep the gloves it still does it

[plucky rover]

Are you getting any errors at all in your log

[round orbit]

None, I really don't understand

[plucky rover]

I'm pretty new to the modding scene for arma games but i can't say I've ever seen anybody use normal edit before

[astral oar]

made a 20 minute video

on how to add and do helmets

[round orbit]

Clearly it's my gloves because I can export my vest in the same FBX as my shirt and gloves but the texture works

[plucky rover]

What're you using the normal edit modifier for?

[round orbit]

I am not, It was just to try and test if my normal was inverted

[plucky rover]

There's an easier and frankly better way to do that

[round orbit]

I wouldn't know, I am new to 3D modeling

[plucky rover]

There's a viewport overlay that shows you the direction of your face normals

[plucky rover]

Alright normals are good then

[analog zenith]

where will you post it

[plucky rover]

I'm all out of ideas

[astral oar]

#enfusion_resources in a little bit

[round orbit]

All good I appreciate the help, I'll look into it tomorrow

[analog zenith]

awesome

[plucky rover]

It's probably some stupid thing making it not work

Some ridiculously minor discrepancy

[round orbit]

#armababy

[plucky rover]

By the way, idk if you just didn't change the names or what but BCR is base color plus roughness and NMO is normal metallic and occlusion, not just normal information

Those textures are either exported improperly or you are REALLY bad at naming things

[round orbit]

Still learning, Thanks

[plucky rover]

alr

dunno what you're exporting out of so i can't give you any specific direction

You'll figure it out

It's all trial and error

[sick shard]

shift+r normally fixes stuff

but good tutorial 😄

[sick shard]

Anyone know how to adjust the models position on the character
this is my next issue lol is it done in blender or is there away I can adjust this in the prefab?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/967086550980632576/978190130147913798/unknown.png

[wheat bay]

I've done it in Blender. Not sure if there is an offset

Plus it's probably best to fix it in blender because the offset would be a temp fix, but will probably lead to other issues.

[sick shard]

I'll give it a shot lol see what happens

[spring pond]

does anyone know how to add localization for object? as without it (when name for eg. is changed to 'simple' string) will not showup when searched in gmae master entity browser

[tidal latch]

non localized strings are also working in game master search

[spring pond]

not for me

[tidal latch]

maybe its case sensitive?

[spring pond]

nope

[spring pond]

im pretty much sure that its working only for localized strings as i tested it with soldiers and when i made it as "PL #AR-Role_MachineGunner" then it stopped working but when i left it as "#AR-Role_MachineGunner" it works

[tidal latch]

ok, then it might be bug

documentation for adding localized strings should appear today so I hope you can couple more hours

[spring pond]

then ill wait for that, thx

[spring pond]

sorry to bother you about that but is there a way to create a proper bug report instead of using 'Feedback' function in game?

so weird tbh

[spring pond]

any idea why preview image of my prefab in workbench looks good but it is so washed out in actual game? i imported DDS file with default settings from gimp

[dim gate]

i think you can change the picture settings in devtool, no ?

[tidal latch]

check import settings of the texture

you might need to change color space to sRGB

[spring pond]

it worked 😄 thank you! for others this is what i had to change

[digital vector]

Can we modify the Properties object?

https://gyazo.com/0c297e1f6ef13a441ab17904bde0e9f2

[fathom bolt]

For what ?

And what object ?

[tacit eagle]

Do sight attachments need a separate skeleton or can you just use an empty as attachment point? My sight spawns correct (setup with empty) but it does not follow the weapon moement

[normal quail]

With regards to Vehicle modelling, I thought I was to rig the car in Blender, however reading the vehicle creation wiki, this is not mentioned but points to using workbench for memory points. Am I right in thinking that's the case?

[spark marlin]

Any recommendations for tutorials/sources of information on modeling new guns? I'm working on a Finnish RK62, but I have no previous experience of making the model compatible with Arma. I got the sample project and got some elements from there, but a complete tutorial with more in-depth explanation on what to do and why

[south hornet]

Make sure you apply transformations before exporting (CTRL+A and apply all)

[digital vector]

house

[opal moat]

Do I make weapon animations in blender or is that something I do with enfusion tools?

[fathom bolt]

Check on prefab but im not sure

[white plover]

any way to move the hands on a weapon as its a smg the hands just dont fit even if moved in blender

[leaden chasm]

just some photogrammetried house model piece

[wise karma]

God damn those look great

[daring condor]

Nice, what software you use for that?

[serene halo]

This was the first idea when I saw the new arma's engine, put scanned models in there.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/782728628358086677/976605272409788436/unknown.png

[leaden chasm]

well, most photogrammetry soft can do that, this is metashape

[daring condor]

Ah okay, neat

Im cheap so I stick with meshroom

Slow, but it works

Looks lovely

[serene halo]

Try metashape or reality capture. Metashape have a good chank's system.

[daring condor]

Counterpoint, meshroom is foss

[leaden chasm]

noice

[wise karma]

Does meshroom work with amd cards now? I remember it didn't used to, then saw some talk of getting it to 'somewhat' work

[shut bloom]

so iam kinda stuck idk, if I did something wrong while setting up the Armature or something. but the bones are in a different positions in Engine than in Blender.

[daring condor]

No clue

[tacit eagle]

I think you are missing vertex groups on the bones that appears red

or an armature modifier

i would start to check those atleast

[round orbit]

anyone have an idea why my gloves textures are not showing up in enfusion but are well set in blender?

[eager hill]

are you sure you have correct BCR and NMO maps?

[round orbit]

if i didn't have the correct ones, why can i see it applied in blender?

[eager hill]

how does your material setup look like in blender?

[eager hill]

That's why it doesn't work. In Blender as you can see you have Base Color, Roughness, Metalness and Normal Map. All of them are needed for PBR material.

Enfusion uses BCR and NMO, which stand for BaseColor/Roughness and NormalMap/Metalness/Occlusion

[round orbit]

And how do I get myself my BCR and NMO bud?

[eager hill]

BCR texture is basically Base Color in RGB channels and Roughness in alpha channel

What software do you use for creating textures?

[round orbit]

These are purchased assets from CGTrader

[sly bridge]

@round orbitlink please

[round orbit]

All other assets from the author work except the gloves

[round orbit]

https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/military-character/military-game-ready-crye-g3-uniform-clone

[eager hill]

Then the only way is to add Roughness into alpha channel. The problem you have is caused by lack of Roughness map and because you have Z coordinates of normal map in place of metalness map

[round orbit]

These are the textures that i have

[sly bridge]

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

[delicate condor]

you will need to manually combine them to fit the engines needs

[round orbit]

In enfusion or with an external software?

[eager hill]

external software. Photoshop, GIMP or whatever you're using

[round orbit]

It's weird that all the other assets work fine

[eager hill]

No idea whether it is possible in blender

[sly bridge]

it isn't afaik, not an image editor

[delicate condor]

one could bake them out

but Id say image editing is faster in dedicated tools

[hidden yarrow]

If you have substance painter you can add a fill layer then add all of the textures you got and then export in the reforger preset

That’s really easy if you have substance

[delicate condor]

Id dare say image editing is still simpler

[round orbit]

I don't, I purchased my first pack so I can get used to enfusion and how things work. All my other models have been working fine but the gloves aren't which is weird because I have been using the same process. This is my first 3D project, I am getting into it.

[delicate condor]

buying models is not really a shortcut

[hidden yarrow]

In that case id just do what horriblegoat said idk how to but he probably does

[delicate condor]

well as you can see, it is not as you still have to learn the "basics"

I can appreaciate your life having other priorities than this

[round orbit]

Right, and I am ok with that. I'd love to model my own stuff. I just thought I could support an artist in the process

[delicate condor]

yeh no problem with that.

[round orbit]

Ok so I will look into how to make my files with GIMP. Thanks everyone

[delicate condor]

bought assets just usually are not compatible with various engine quirks so they need the tweaking

gimp should be able to handle the compiling just fine

and it has quite a lot of guides on the web

[round orbit]

So I'll look for BCR and NMO creation with GIMP

Blackburn — Today at 10:59 AM
That's why it doesn't work. In Blender as you can see you have Base Color, Roughness, Metalness and Normal Map. All of them are needed for PBR material.
Enfusion uses BCR and NMO, which stand for BaseColor/Roughness and NormalMap/Metalness/Occlusion

[sly bridge]

This is my first 3D project, I am getting into it.
this isn't a 3d project, it's an importing process, not the same thing. it's a hobby, no need to force yourself to do something you don't really like/wanna do it

[round orbit]

I'll learn, that's why I ask questions here on the daily

[spring ferry]

any idea how to make my bones export as bones and not memorypoints?

settings

[shut bloom]

turn off leaf bones

[spring ferry]

that doesn't help

[shut bloom]

iam not sure if thats gonna fix it but just dont use it

do your bones have skinning ?

[spring ferry]

if I uncheck it - the export has no memorypoints in it

skinning?

[shut bloom]

are the bones skinned/weight painted to a mesh

[spring ferry]

yes

[shut bloom]

are they in their correct Collection ?

[shut bloom]

then idk have you reimported with skinning etc activated inside Enfusion

[spring ferry]

I see some issue - the bones are in "Pose" instead of "Scene_Root" armature

yeah I do have the skinning export thing in import settings - otherwise it doesn't import the memorypoints

ah it's only when I'm in pose mode

[shut bloom]

try naming the the root bone w_mauser etc

[blazing agate]

Hey, you guys know wich config files needs a static object to appear on Game master and be used, so it can be placed etc... and also what components appart form RigidBody??

[shut bloom]

did you find the error or did my suggestion fix it ?

[tidal latch]

How is your lod0 looking like?

[surreal ore]

@round orbit Do you have photoshop?

@spring ferry

These are my export setting and everything works as it should

[round orbit]

@hidden yarrow helped me fix my issue, thank you though!

[plucky rover]

Import hierarchy

And skinning

[surreal ore]

@round orbit Im working on a photoshop script right now that i should have released by the end of the day.

[plucky rover]

That happens when you enter pose mode, they don't export under pose in any circumstance.

[surreal ore]

No need for manual creation if i can make an automation for people to use

[plucky rover]

Unless your script accommodates for all possible edge cases you're going to have to do some stuff manually

[surreal ore]

If you have all the required textures then it can be automated, I did the exact same thing for DayZ texture types

[plucky rover]

That's assuming a conversion from one type to a different one where the input is always the same, is it a conversion for like, older arma stuff?

[normal quail]

Are we allowed to model using the Arma 2 assets?

[round orbit]

Thank you for supporting the community I appreciate it

[fathom bolt]

[misty cave]

bing chilling

[sick shard]

in the xob go to import settings and click export skinning and click the reimport button

[mortal sentinel]

dafuq is that? I can guess it's a scope, seeing the buttons, but I don't see the scope 😄

[astral oar]

It’s a holo it looks like

[tacit eagle]

holo sight

[inland oar]

it's an Eotech EXPS

[eager hill]

EOTech XPS3

[inland oar]

Lookin' good 👀

[mortal sentinel]

ah, now I see

nice

btw why is it red? I saw pufu post a gun in red color, is it easier to work with if the default color is not grey?

[eager hill]

it's called a matcap. It's easier to see interaction of surface and light thanks to it

[mortal sentinel]

interesting

[wheat bay]

Would you be interested in helping out with a Ammo mod to make ammo that isn't in Reforger yet?

Okay! No problemo. Thank's

[coarse needle]

is there a way to re-skin assets currently in game or do i have to make my own stuff from new

[odd granite]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Modding#Retexturing_asset

[coarse needle]

ah ok thanks

[eager hill]

There is a great tutorial by Tim Bergholz about it. He shows how to model an artillery shell, but it's basically the same as normal cartridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2U0MiZSV9A

[wheat bay]

Oh, I can model! I just need help because a lot of bullets exist IRL

[coarse needle]

do i have to create the texture out of enfusion or what? not sure how id pull the original uniform texture to modify

[wheat bay]

I want to make a mod to add all new bullets in code so modders can use new ammo without creating their own

[odd granite]

I screen cap and resize the texture in photoshop to the originals dimensions

[wheat bay]

Thanks though!

[eager hill]

good luck with that

[odd granite]

unsure if there's a way to officially export the texture

[winter current]

how are people fixing the extra armature bone with blender? i just can't find a proper way to do it -.-

[coarse needle]

sorry for constant tags, but this just shows like an AK, i want to reskin the pants, how do i do that?

[odd granite]

no worries glad to help 🙂 in the original prefabs .emat after you duplicate it click change class and add the MatPBRCamo

[coarse needle]

wait i think i found a vidya

tysm

so like im trying to get the full version of the jacket to retexture, but it wont let me duplicate that to my project

only the folded up version

me rn

sorry im new to all this

thanks for your help

so i just screenshot this and edit in photoshop?

wait no .ewhatever

[odd granite]

yeah 2048x2048

[coarse needle]

what file do i save this as in photoshop

[odd granite]

ive only used jpg but itll import it as .edds

[coarse needle]

ok and now how do i kinda

replace thje texture

:o

so thats unworn

[fast notch]

I made a collision at the building in the blender, called "name_LOD", but it does not work in the game what could be the problem?

[coarse needle]

honestly i dont know where to find the worn one

[hot pumice]

lil WIP

[odd granite]

collision or model? collisions dont use LOD

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

[coarse needle]

it wont let me save this as its read only @tacit eagle ... wat i fuck up?

currently here.. sorry idk how to set an override

ok ive done this

im not sure what you mean by "clothing component"

[odd granite]

override changes the original prefab. duplicate makes a new item

[coarse needle]

ok idk how tf i did it but now the texture is back to original

[odd granite]

put your modified .emat in overwrite prefab ^

its in the prefabs MeshObject

[fast notch]

thanks!

[coarse needle]

honestly this is all just confusing me

do you think you could write out a step by step as if you were teaching it to a 5 year old lol

[tacit eagle]

MAN HX60 WIP, soon to have interior

[dusk fjord]

Is there a way to make an ironsight to go down as an sight is placed on the weapon?

[plucky rover]

I really wish we had the ability to natively create meshes in the xob format

i have to set all my bones at a weird angle

[modest parcel]

Anyone know how to create geometry for a mesh (I'm super new to blender)

[plucky rover]

all my bones point towards the y axis in blender and that ends up being the upward axis in enfusion

since bones are z dominant

[slender steeple]

@shadow karma did tactical flava have a public discord?

[plain citrus]

Some people work on french camo ?

[slender steeple]

Probably

[dim gate]

depend, if i use stuff from my arma 3 mods i can do CCE, Daguet and Alegrian lizard "type D" ( which was mostly used for tents and not uniforms )

for more 80s stuff related to the current game, i do think about making something but i don't have the propper french lizard camo

[plain citrus]

Nice, i'm talking about recent camo

[dim gate]

ah yeah, that's CCE / Daguet

[plain citrus]

y

[dim gate]

eh, for now i'd rather just stay in the 80s timeline so i can use it along vanilla content

modern stuff will wait, beside that, i still can't even play multiplayer at all, so making mods for the game is kinda ... meh

eventually by the time the server issue is solved, i will have plenty of stuff ready

[plain citrus]

yes I understand

[sick shard]

I have this same issue with Maya lol but I was able to fix it in blender and import it I'm not to sure why it would be flipping the axis on import that's really odd

[plucky rover]

As far as i can tell it's because of the difference in primary axis between both programs

Unfortunately I'm not using the vanilla blender exporter so I can't match up the export settings, I really need to change over to using it.

Normally you would just change the bone axis and it should be fine

[swift goblet]

why when importing the character fbx from the new character sample, it looks like this?

[hidden yarrow]

If I remember there were some problems with the samples rig

Idk if its that problem

[thorny galleon]

Go to your enfusion blender tools and sort object

[swift goblet]

ty

[swift goblet]

still the size is incorrect

the armature is giant compared to the model

[opal moat]

Noob question, how do I rotate an object that I have added to the scene using numbers to ensure it is exactly 90 degrees instead of having to eyeball it with the mouse?

^ Blender

[rocky sedge]

N to open side menu and under transform should be rotation. or press r and press the key to what axis you want to rotate and type 90

[opal moat]

Thank you

[tulip sail]

So whats the point in the prefabs library? if u just have ur prefabs in the prefab folder anyway?

[opal moat]

Not super sure about this stock. Any opinions?

[delicate condor]

is there any real life reference you use or is it your own design?

[opal moat]

My own design

[delicate condor]

is there anything that feels off to you?

using real life weapons for reference can be useful even for fictional designs

also if you want it to be functional loooking you can mock up the internal mechanism to make sure everything fits in

[opal moat]

Idk it just feels off for some reason, I'm wondering if I'm missing something, using the stock of an M16A2 as a base then building a bullpup around it.

[opal moat]

Have done this

[dim gate]

don't make the whole thing held together, separate the parts

i did this when building my first gun a daewoo K2

no need to make the entire trigger group either or small parts, that's useless

[delicate condor]

well the side faces ho a little odd perhaps

[opal moat]

Yeah I'm planning on that, almost done with the general shape of the reciever. Just need to figure out how to make separate parts.

[delicate condor]

this might shade oddly

[dim gate]

but lower, upper, stock, grip, barrel handguard ... all of that separate

you should have made them separate at first

[opal moat]

oooooooooof

Well it was good practice, back to learning.

[dim gate]

haha don't worry, i do the same sometimes

spend 1 hour making something
eh, i fucked up at some point and now it's no good
welp, time to erase and redo the whole thing

[opal moat]

Maybe starting with building a gun from scratch as my first modding project isnt the greatest of ideas.

[dim gate]

not really, the only limit is your mind

you have all the tools available to succeed, it's only up to you to use them as intended

[opal moat]

How about I start by modeling a *donut first lol.

[delicate condor]

main thing is to keep doing stuff

modeling is something you learn only by doing it

and making mistakes will be part of that process

and making stuff again after you have learned more

[dim gate]

the donut teach you how to handle blender and use basic tool, which you already did by making that stock

also what goat said, mistakes are a natural process

[opal moat]

Thanks guys

[prime echo]

Ummm... Is there any possibility of developing a gun custom on Arma?

[cedar osprey]

well for one there topology has no flow, its just all over the place

try to have your loops running vertically with an equal amount of space between them

something more like this

[opal moat]

👍

[cedar osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lip59doQQRk

[opal moat]

Thank you, I'll check it out

[cedar osprey]

I'd also recommend practicing with modelling smaller and less complex objects until you get the hang of the theory before doing something big and complex like a gun

[lime comet]

on the M35 truck import, I try to get the wheels turning. I went into the blend file and separated the wheels from the UTM_Object and named them UTM_Wheel_L1 to R3. Now when I import the fbx I only get UTM_Object as Collider detected, and the wheels not. Custom Properties upon FBX export is toggled. Any pointers?

is it a problem of not separating the objects completely in blender? I used L and P->selection, but all the split objects share the same Vertex Groups

[tidal latch]

Merge tri meshes option probably, refer to fbx import page

[lime comet]

Thanks, 7 Colliders now! Awesome

Is my next step to isolate/P the wheels from the LOD0 to LOD5 meshes and somehow assign them to the wheel bones?

[tidal latch]

you would need to assign vertex groups to wheels - they don't have to be in separate objects

[lime comet]

ah, I have them from a3, named Wheel_1_L and so forth. Unclear what the next step for a turning wheel is, sorry 😦

[tidal latch]

vertex groups & armature modifier is necessary at least

imagine that vertex groups are named selections and armature modifier is equivalent of saying in model.cfg skeletonName = "something"

[lime comet]

is the armature bone to be connected to the wheel's vertex group?

[tidal latch]

I would say, the other way around

have you checked sample car from github perhaps?

[lime comet]

yes, but I didn't understand it, I guess for my lack of Blender knowledge

I see there below Armature the UTM_FG_Wheel's definition and also wheels_LOD0

[tidal latch]

look for modifiers instead

wheels are using Relations->Parent without Armature modifier because they are colliders https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Vehicle_Creation#Setting_skeleton_.26_rigging_mesh

in wheels_LOD0 you have Armature modifier and four vertex groups

in edit mode, you can assign or remove vertex groups. Creating new vertex groups is done by clicking on plus

double clicking on the vertex group will let you modify the name of VG

[lime comet]

the vertex groups are named Wheel_1_L and so forth, they exist

[tidal latch]

are they named same as bone?

[lime comet]

no, bones are named after the sample car, v_wheel_l01 and so forth. Shall I rename the Vertex Groups?

[tidal latch]

yes

vertex group = named selection, armature bones = skeleton definition in model cfg

they need to have matching names obviously

[lime comet]

do I need to set this wheels_LOD0 up under Armature and link to the bones?

[tidal latch]

did you added armature modifier?

in that modifier select your skeleton

[lime comet]

sorry, I don't know how and where to add

[tidal latch]

no problem 🙂 this is for older version but interface more or less matches latest version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KelTx1ZYyuE

[simple meteor]

Oh wiki for car is out, so nice

[lime comet]

Thanks, something is turning now. Seems my defs of axis and such are off though, lol

[tidal latch]

it is not complete - I had to remove temporarily some of the elements which were outdated (or at least I thought they could be misleading)

[tidal latch]

can you show us you skeleton?

[simple meteor]

👍

[tidal latch]

position and rotation of bones is used as reference, so you no longer have to make two vertexes to define axis like in RV

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Weapon_Creation#Adding_slots.2Fsnap_points in dummy (empty) objects are working in exactly same way as bones when it comes to transformation

[lime comet]

I guess the third axle is missing, as it was not in the sample car. and I need to move the 2nd axle forward for the the middle wheels and figure out how to get 3rd axle going

[tidal latch]

indeed, you might start looking for videos on youtube about adding new bones to Armature 😉

[tidal latch]

although one thing more - are you using some existing vehicle animations ?

[simple meteor]

is there a size limit for objects in enfusion?

[lime comet]

yes, the default for the original Reforger truck

[simple meteor]

Like the 60m in rv

[lime comet]

should I disable them?

[tidal latch]

In VehicleAnimationComponent? I'm afraid you won't be able to use it. M923 truck has different skeleton (positions) and as result, your animation will get screwed

[lime comet]

oh, makes a lot of sense!

ah, bummer, it doesn't drive now

[tidal latch]

you need some really bare bone (but not empty!) animation workspace for it

[lime comet]

haven't touched animations yet, must be done another morning 😄 Thanks for all the help and advice!

[wheat bay]

Has anybody figured out what Snap_Hand_Right does for weapon making?

[last hill]

I am thinking it is where the engine snaps the right hand bone on the character skeleton to for animation purposes? Just a guess

[wheat bay]

That's what I thought, but it doesn't quite seem to do anything from what I've tested.

I've moved that point before to random places to see, and it didn't really move the hand

[bright raft]

Maybe it snaps hand to after the animation? Like magazine snap

[shell hedge]

does the license allow modifying ingame assets like if I wanted to add snow onto a tree?

[dim gate]

no it doesn't allow it

[quasi thistle]

so, I have basic modelling and texturing skills. the wiki page about importing however completely overwhelmed be because I don't have any idea how to do lods or whats lods exactly are and how to do colliders. is there any guide on that?

[lofty hull]

Where can You buy good vehicle models that will be combatible with reforger?

[lean spruce]

Pretty much any model that is exportable as .fbx is usable in Reforger.
Problem is the creation of a rigid body es well as the joints/bones and animations.

[lean spruce]

When getting a 3d model from anywhere, you need to be very careful with the license, since by uploading to the workshop you share that 3d model with others to do as they want, and that is not something compatible with most licenses, except creative commons.

Even Creative Commons licenses usually require you to give credit to the creator of the model, so do so in your mod description.

[lofty hull]

Any one here want to partner up if I buy the models and someone convert it

@lean spruce Thankyou for the info

how to do debug menu for vehicle creation?

[spark marlin]

Does anyone know why does this happen? My other helmet works just fine and I followed the exact same process

[spring pond]

i have hard time wrapping my brain around this but in order to get veiw like this i had to rotate on Y (green) axis by **-**45

[eager hill]

X is horizontal axis, Y is vertical and Z is horizontal but in depth direction. Your object is rotated around vertical axis by 45 degrees.

done a bit more

[crystal zodiac]

Hello together, i got the Problem when i import my car in to the Reforger Tools with the Colliders, the Wheels are all together in one Selection (Wheel_L01) But in Blender i got all 4 separately and they also have the right names (L01,L02 etc). Does anyone have an Idea ?

[tidal latch]

Uncheck merge tri meshes option https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:FBX_Import#Collider_usage

[spark marlin]

Solved it. I forgot to add armature modifier to the model in blender, reimported in workbench and now it works

[crystal zodiac]

Thanks it worked 👌🏼

[queen pike]

I would like to see the wireframe on the lowpoly model 🙂

[eager hill]

could be better, but isn't terrible

I've seen worse

[eager hill]

And it pretty much doesn't matter how verts are placed as long as they create a flat planar surface.

[plucky rover]

Topology is mostly relevant for deformation

You want good surface geometry whenever your mesh is going to be intricately textured or deformed, that way your mesh bends well

plus texels so yk

[fast notch]

it seems like I set the right names, but the character walks through the cube. what's the problem?

Does anyone know how damage works in reforger yet?

Mostly interested in infantry damage not vehicles.

[spark marlin]

I made an uniform model and used the M88 jacket prefab, is there a way to get rid of that god damn belt?

[merry gale]

Hello guys, I'm trying to create some optics for my weapons and I'm facing a problem, does anyone know why the optic view is inverted?

[spark marlin]

Got around it using the M70 as prefab instead

[thorn topaz]

does it have anything to do with a UV map, are empties or other axis oriented objects used for scopes and if so is it facing the correct direction or inverted?

[eager hill]

Bit more progress on that eotech

[winter valve]

Try scaling the uv of the screen to -1 on the x axis

that would flip it prolly

[bright raft]

That's a high poly tho, right?

[eager hill]

Of course. If I remember correctly at this point it was around 4 millions verts.

[fathom bolt]

4 millions ??

[bright raft]

Dang

[eager hill]

Normal for remesher workflow

[bright raft]

Which subd lvl is that 😃

[fathom bolt]

for an entire weapon i've only 400k in fusion 0_o

[eager hill]

2nd subd level + voxel remesher

[bright raft]

Ah if you use remesher than it might make sense

Nice model btw

[plucky rover]

Retopoflow gang

[bright raft]

I do low poly to high poly workflow mainly. Hardops all the time.

[eager hill]

Earlier I was using bevel weight + subd, but now I think it's easier to get good looking results with remesher

[simple meteor]

can we see sections in enfusion ?

[tacit eagle]

has anyone managed to get gun imported into game? I mean I do, but i cannot get good with bones and overal point assigment

anyone out there to take a look?

and explain the process shortly

[fathom bolt]

you take the prafab of the m16 or the ak ? @tacit eagle

[tacit eagle]

AK

cuz i am importing AK

different version of ak i mean

[fathom bolt]

ok so you have some animation or not at all ?

in game i mean

[tacit eagle]

not at all, would use vanilla anims

since its AK standard

[fathom bolt]

ok and have you set your bones in blender ?

[tacit eagle]

i probably did, but I dont know, hahah is it possible for you to take a look?

i can jump in call when ever you are

free

i did work with uniforms

and everything , but not the guns

[fathom bolt]

i'm not an english speak so 😄

[tacit eagle]

I still can share screen haha

[fathom bolt]

ok lets go

[shut bloom]

Currently working on Putting my first car ingame. lets hope its not too much pain.

[merry gale]

@thorn topaz @winter valve That's right guys, I managed to solve it thanks

[tulip sail]

never tried the remesher workflow in blender. will give it a try. (only ever used the zbrush>blender back again workflow for stuff

[shut bloom]

does anyone have a clue why my Armature is all Memory points and not bones ?

[thorn topaz]

what do your export and import settings look like?

[shut bloom]

gimme a sec

so export Custom_Prope... is on Leaf Bones is off

[thorn topaz]

by chance are your memory points going into the skeleton collection?

[dim gate]

to get your bones working you need to enable the armature modifier to your LOD parts

[shut bloom]

I may have found the problem.

its me being an idiot. forgot to name the vertex groups correctly

[dim gate]

just activate the modifier and live it as such, do not click on "apply"

[shut bloom]

i know that thats allready on it. its because i forgot to rename the vertex groups

[dim gate]

alright cool

[shut bloom]

atleast i hope that fixes it

[shut bloom]

now the only problem is that my memory points are not under the scene root

or more like the vehicle root

[dim gate]

if i remember well, make the armature parent of your memory point

that should be the root back on top of the hierarchy

[shut bloom]

you prob mean parent the memorys to the root

otherwise the memories would be on top right ?

[thorn topaz]

if the root is part of the armature and the armature becomes the parent then the memory points would be children of it

[shut bloom]

ah yeah i dont really do to much stuff with armature lol

that worked thx

[normal quail]

Is there an efficient way of making colliders? I have an object, I have duplicated and separated the object. Now I want to use a modifier to create the collider mesh, Is this the best way going about it

[dim gate]

depend on your object

[normal quail]

Wheel

[dim gate]

the collider model should as low res as possible

a simple cylinder is more than enough

[normal quail]

Oh really, I will just do that haha thanks

[shut bloom]

so iam trying to add user Actions. but they dont seem to show up in the component after I add them from the bones.

[normal quail]

How about an undercarriage, fire geo, this must be time to use a modifier.

[thorn topaz]

do the empties show up in the component?

[thorn topaz]

how pronounced is the under carriage? it may work just as well to use a box

[dim gate]

try clicking on the + next to action contexts

[normal quail]

8k, I used decimate and collapse which brings it down to 1k

[dim gate]

yeah, a cube is also good, give it the general shape of the vehicle

you can also add more cubes to fit the rest and make the collision model more accurate

[thorn topaz]

don't get too hung up on the shape, just think of it as "what of this vehicle will my character bump into", in most cases vehicles can be very simple

[normal quail]

Had hoped there was a modifier that would shape around the selected objected. I have been create the collisions out of cubes around the object but I thought they may be a more efficient way I am not yet aware of in Blender

[thorn topaz]

there is no modifier that goes that far but you can turn your geometry into a convex shape

you can then use the decimate modifier to simplify the mesh even further, but you will need to re-convex it

[dim gate]

or ... you could just make a cube, select the bottom face only and scale it down until you have the desired shape

[normal quail]

Thanks both

[carmine vapor]

Any documentation on how the texturing on models is set up in enfusion?

I know SS and multimat from A3, but things have prob changed massively?

[solar salmon]

Im trying to retexture characters' bodies in my mod, basebody xob is locked so am i screwed?

[spark marlin]

Does anyone have an idea what could cause this? The rest of my model is perfectly fine, but the belt buckle has a mind of its own and doesn't appear to be properly attached to the skeleton

[delicate condor]

wrong weighting

[plucky rover]

Looks like a weight paint issue

[spark marlin]

That's odd. It's a part of the uniform model and I haven't weight painted anything so far. How come only that specific part of the model is "loose" from the rest?

[last hill]

Has anyone had any success bringing a boot mod in? I have tried a few different things bit either the boot half works but angles weirdly in the engine after being equipped or the skinning causes parts of the boot to not move correctly.

Working with 3ds max and the sample character for the skeleton. Will have another crack next time I am on, just curious if anyone has done boots or if there is something breaking the samples as the feet look a bit Weird?

[dim gate]

sample skeleton is broken

[spark marlin]

I weight painted it properly but the problem remains. Any other ideas?

Wait, I think I might have just had a brain fart

Yep. Brain fart it was. Thanks for help

[plucky rover]

What ended up being the issue?

[spark marlin]

I had duplicated the model, forgot it and weight painted only the other one. I noticed that there were two belt buckles

[shut bloom]

sadly my car is stuck in the ground and the engine does not start ? can anyone who got further than that help me thx.

[normal quail]

@shut bloom I am in the same boat, I cant get passed the armature stage no matter what I attempt.

[plucky rover]

Cool car

Hope you have permission to use it, if you didn't make it yourself. :p

[shut bloom]

its purchased,

[shut bloom]

iam sad some people got it working but we are both stuck at this idk ima see tomorrow.

[normal quail]

@shut bloom I have tried 3 times from scratch thinking I am doing something wrong. I clearly am, I just do not know what that is

[simple meteor]

Did u see the docs?

[vocal belfry]

Wheel colliders?

[normal quail]

Docs are not explaining how to set up the Armature in blender. I have copied the sample car but when I load up into workbench I have just memory points no bones, even though the bone names are there but just as memory points

[shut bloom]

I fixed that i can help you tmorrow

[normal quail]

@shut bloom Thanks, that would be great

[bright raft]

Done for this evening, texturing next

[plucky rover]

Import scene hierarchy and skinning

[wheat bay]

Really quick question. What is FireGeo?

[normal quail]

It tells the game engine how to handle bullet penetration in very basic terms

[wheat bay]

Okay. I've only been making one collider, so I wanted my next gun mod to be using the tools properly

[weary bane]

@wheat bay did you follow the weapon creation documentation as I can’t seem to get my head around it?

[wheat bay]

I did for a bit, but then I just learned through tinkering a lot. Only really just got a solid proper workflow down on my end.

Still got to learn Pip Optics and Animations

[weary bane]

Ahh okay I see

[wheat bay]

I'd make a tutorial, but I want to make sure I'm at least 98% doing things correctly, and I would also like to wait for hand position IK anim stuff to be figured out

[blazing agate]

one little question, wich are the config files to make a prefab appear on the game master?? There's any documentation?? Becouse I followed this one and the mesh did not appear on editor

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

[normal quail]

I cant work this out at all

[dusk fjord]

How do you export from blender with armature?

[normal quail]

Just as the docs say really

[dusk fjord]

I had that marked but i didn't include it

ill retry

[dim gate]

activate armature modifier to LOD

do not "apply", just turn it on, select the right bone parent for each LOD model and then export

[normal quail]

Is that right?

[dim gate]

yes

i did this for my guns and it worked

[normal quail]

Yeah I did here too, still not working grr. I dont know whats gone wrong at this point

[outer citrus]

i've that issue as well. opened the rigify example character's blend file, exported as fbx but workbench imported without bones/colliders.

[normal quail]

I am starting to think its a bug. I have been at this for hours comparing my set up to the sample set up

[dusk fjord]

I have the same export settings as @normal quail but still comes into enfusion without bones...

[normal quail]

I was thinking of a name of my generic 4x4. I am settling with boneless if I can ever get it into the game

[wheat bay]

I'm not sure if there is something I'm not understanding here, but why is there such a difference in Colliders between these weapons? Like, why doesn't the SVD have firegeo? I understand the M14 because it's for different materials.

[surreal ore]

Has anyone been able to put the rigify rig in tpose?

[plucky rover]

You have skinning turned on in your import settings, right? I know it's a stupid question

[surreal ore]

IIRC with out it, no bones or anything are imported

[plucky rover]

Skinning no, it'll import as memory points

If you have no scene hierarchy imported it won't show memory points either

Skinning just imports the vertex groups associated with the mesh

[zenith quartz]

What tangent space should I be using for Enfusion when baking in Marmoset, for example?

I'm using Mikk by default and it's showing up with shading issues specifically in Enfusion.

[vocal belfry]

I need, like, a video showing me how to do stuff. Like just running though the AK import tutorial but I need to *SEE someone do it rather than just read it.

[opal moat]

Agreed. I learn better when I watch someone else walk through it, I’m sure we’ll be getting plenty of modding tutorials on the tube with the new engine so we’ll just have to wait.

When making uniforms do I need to use the cloth physics tool or can I just sculpt everything normally?

[last hill]

I sculpted all of the stuff I edited on some stuff I bought to import in that needed changing. I don't think any of it was made with cloth physics

[last hill]

Any word on a fixed one coming for folk using 3ds? I saw a Blender one was linked but might have missed the 3ds one?

[opal moat]

Gotcha. I probably will have to build it from scratch as I’ll mostly be working off what is in my head.

[thorn topaz]

was your mesh triangulated when you baked and if so was that same mesh the one exported?

[lethal frigate]

anyone who will do some more structures 😄 only guns in here

[sly bridge]

@lethal frigatewhy don't you? people are doing whichever they want, 50%+ here are actually importing meshes rather than making meshes

[last hill]

Planning on looking at making a few basic structures once I am done importing the stuff I bought, figure starting with buildings would be a decent entry to 3d modelling.

[lethal frigate]

ill have to learn that

[sly bridge]

go right ahead, there is no better time than present

[lethal frigate]

what would you suggest

[last hill]

Google for inspiration in the area of the world you would like to replicate, find good angles and if possible interior and work from those, start basic and have a look at Blender tutorials and basics to get a start, or 3ds max if you have that, Blender is free.

Or even simpler, work on furniture prefabs? Learn scaling models to the engine you want to create for. There is endless options to start out.

[dim gate]

i haven't seen a 3DS one yet

[sly bridge]

if you haven't used any 3d software so far, blender is just as good. the only max / maya users left are ones that are actually using these tool professionally and is not worth changing over / too old to bother changing

[lethal frigate]

What type of files you can import in enfusion

I heard about fbx

[sly bridge]

for model LODs / anim / mem points / collision etc = FBX

[lethal frigate]

Does the engine generates itself collision boxes

So you can't go trought walls

[sly bridge]

@lethal frigatenope

[lethal frigate]

Oof

[zenith quartz]

Ah, oops - potentially. The mesh I used in substance painter and Enfusion are both triangulated and they have the same triangulation because I applied it. They aren't totally triangulated, though. I used the modifier just to catch ngons. Model exported for baking in marmoset didn't have this applied yet, but it was there.

But I see what you mean that the triangulation here is probably different from the triangulation I baked with and I'm not sure what to do about this. 😅

I guess just manually triangulate the low poly and rebake and make sure I use the same triangulation for SP and Enfusion?

[sly bridge]

one of the basic rules of bakeing / game asset creation- always have meshes triangulated on export

[fathom grove]

I imported the Character_Template.fbx file from the NewCharacter sample mod in blender, and the rig is all messed up

[sly bridge]

yeah, precisely, i usually have a modifier on top of the mesh that i activate before export, making sure that way that traingulation is not handled by the exporting algorithm (you can triangulate on fbx export)

[fathom grove]

You just solved one headache I was having 😄 Such a simple thing... and makes sense too, how could I have missed it? Well, now I know 😂

[zenith quartz]

Gotcha! Thanks I'll give this a go in the morning!

[sly bridge]

ask in #reforger_samples

[wheat bay]

I'm getting a really strange issue where I'm trying to use the PSO1 Material on my own mesh lensglass. The UV's match, but the texture quality is really bad. Not sure why this is the case.

Original Optic_SPO1_Lensglass material ^

My Own Mesh, with the exact same material applied ^

My UVS

[fathom bolt]

Don’t use a full sphere and hit the case « isolate texture » on the pso to see the 3D part

Cause you need to use the half of the sphere I think

[bitter quartz]

Is a "NMO Map" the same as a normal map?

[sly bridge]

no

read pin in #enfusion_texture

[shell hedge]

what is the license for vegetation assets? can I reuse them with different materials inside my mods?

ie. a version of spruce tree with snow on it

[sly bridge]

you can create dependency mods with textures changes just fine afaik

[shell hedge]

ok, any way to make sure before I put 7 billion hours into retexturing?

[wheat bay]

Bad angle, but it is only half.

[fathom bolt]

that why ok

[fathom grove]

I'm trying to change the MeshObject in a prefab, but it isn't updating. I've tried closing and reopening, but it still remains the old model

[last hill]

Needs to be done in basicclothloadoutcomponent as well. Worn model plus item model.

Check the reforger documentation. Fully explained in there.

[junior thorn]

Hi, i have a problem

Wheel and interior LOD doesn't appear

[round orbit]

anyone have a good trick to fold clothing like this

[sly bridge]

that's not really a fold, so there is really no trick involved, it's a completely different 3d mesh

[bleak depot]

original cloth from player character -> cloth system and flat on the ground. Rigging your model with simple bones. After that, do it in this position. Safe the model -> Remash for performance (lower polys, reduce mesh or something) and after that check your UV map

Need help:
can i do the materials setup for firegeometry in maya? is a list online for the codes?

[fathom bolt]

there is no interior lod

[junior thorn]

from sample

[fathom bolt]

in the lod you need the full body

like in game asset

its just a selection in the sample

https://imgur.com/a/QEi2UZR

for the btr

https://imgur.com/a/ThUxH8s

@junior thorn

[sly bridge]

what material setup are you referring to?

[bleak depot]

@sly bridge in the wiki is: Collision layers page. but i cant find that.

and in blender you can use the layer preset. i need that for maya. maybe this -> NameOfMaterial_GUIDofMaterial - example: Weapon_metal_3B2D2687F56BB4EF

but for all game materials

[junior thorn]

yes i know

it's what i did

[sly bridge]

ahhh, for the colliders

[bleak depot]

yes

[fathom bolt]

you blender files isnt sort in the right way hit the "sort objects" in the enfusion plugin

[junior thorn]

where?

[sly bridge]

@bleak depotgood question, i'm on max, not sure how could i setup this, maybe via some custom plug-in. You do have however a seeing in the import settings once you imported the FBX unde Physics tab -> surface properties

[fathom bolt]

here : https://imgur.com/a/LWWtVvR

you see the short button

[junior thorn]

i don't have

this windows

oh wait

ok

thanks

[shell hedge]

start with the sleeves

[bleak depot]

i try a other way now. but later 🙂

[astral oar]

quebec figured it out last time i checked if you have his dm's try him

[fathom grove]

Hat isn't moving with the character rig, even though it does have skinning

and animate is enabled in BaseLoadoutClothComponent

[hidden yarrow]

You need to check your bones

Needs to be 163 in Total i think

[fathom grove]

Thank you! 😄 Now works

[white plover]

https://gyazo.com/61b823fb38618e95904948050065f8ab any one know how i can raise this hand up. other hand is fine just this one

[dim gate]

can't, it's part of the animation

best you can do is rotate the weapon to lower the front and then change it's position to make it match the hand

[white plover]

F.

we cant add alot of guns then. without being able to edit the animation for it

[fathom bolt]

why we cant ?

[white plover]

as some guns you wont be able to move the hands to fit just in blender. while makeing it look good

[fathom bolt]

but you can do a handanim ??

[hidden yarrow]

Yeah lol

[fathom bolt]

you need to put your custom anim in the graph

but you need to make all the animations

so you need the IKOffset and of course if its not an ak or an ar the reload animations

IKOffset is a static pose so 1 frame

[sharp mist]

Hello, does anyone know why do i get this message, and how to fix it?

[bright raft]

Has anyone been able to make collimated sight?

[dim gate]

many did yeah

unless you meant a different type of scope

[bright raft]

Yes, not the PIP scope, I did that

I mean collimated, holographic sight

[dim gate]

someone tried to make a holo sight, using the PiP feature but giving it no zoom

[bright raft]

In A2 we could use face sorting with tunnel and reticle approach

[dim gate]

well, in A2/A3 the reticle is basically a texture with specular on it

here you can still do the same

create a plane face in your scope and apply a reticle texture on a transparent background

[bright raft]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Weapon_Collimator_Sights

[bright raft]

That will still not be that

I'd like to have a 'depth' in that sight, but I cant find a way in enfusion, to make face with reticle be occluded by invisible tunnel

[dim gate]

ah i see, yet no, i haven't seen anybody doing that

only the PiP use

[vocal belfry]

TBF, there's a possibility that that functionality isn't even written into the engine yet.

[solemn goblet]

WOW! Just looked at the documentation and it looks like someone made amazing docs in the past few days. Great work guys.

[vocal belfry]

If there any way to get a good refrence for a model that I'm making? I'm fairly new to all this.

[sly bridge]

define reference pictures, blueprints?

[vocal belfry]

Ideally, I'l like to being the RPG-7 model into blender as a read-only and then build my own model of a RPG-27 over that to get good measurements.

[tacit eagle]

I use a free software called PureRef, which allows you to make a mood board of images that you can use for reference.

[sly bridge]

that isn't possible. though you might be able to find blueprints and schematics for RPG-27

[vocal belfry]

Darn... Well then I'll just stick with scaling stuff... Anyone say hand-held naval cannon?

[hidden yarrow]

The arma models are more than likely the same dimensions/scale as real life if you just model true to real life you will probably be fine

[vocal belfry]

Oh... Well isn't that just perfect!

[trim needle]

Can anyone help me with getting the collisions for my static object/prop working. I've followed the FBX import doc loosely.

The object in the workbench reports a missing mask. Not sure what that is.

[terse star]

Did you use the enfusion tools to set the collider layer ?

[trim needle]

I did actually yeah, I manually changed the property in the bottom right corner of the top image just testing stuff.
I set the material as stone, and type as a Prop

Not sure if prop is the correct type in this instance. As it's a bridge.

[livid gate]

Check out Airsoft websites. They are a massive hobby in Russia, and I found many modernized RPG systems with at least side views to model off of.

[terse star]

Try UCX instead of UTM

I had a cube, but for some reasons, UCX worked but UBX didn’t

[eager hill]

make sure custom properties are enabled in export settings

[trim needle]

So I didn't have the custom properties ticked so that helps 😄 I still can't seem to get the collision working though.

I'm using UTM and when I change to UCX my workbench crashes.

I wonder would it be because I triangulated the collision mesh in Blender.

[fast notch]

Guys. no one can send me the correct model, through which the character cannot walk?

[fathom laurel]

Yeah, anyone please send it as an example if it's not hard. We would be greatful for that.

[sharp mist]

[bleak depot]

anyone knows how get open doors from custom wreck? Driver, CoDriver and so on. I have actionsManagerComponent and DoorComponent. But my wreck turn around. not the driver door

[pine flame]

Not enough information. How are you trying to open the doors, what components are you using on the wreck. Or is it the wreck model in typical vehicle?

(context)
DoorComponent probably won't work on vehicle wrecks.
Vehicle wrecks may have disabled action manager.
If its just wreck as placed asset and you want action to open door on it - look at hatches in BTR to have example how to do it through user action and procedural animation.

[bleak depot]

this is a static prop model. my model has bones with bind on Doors and Engine Hood. i can use the bones
manually and the doors turn correctly (.xob file). The vanilla vehicles has for the doors to get in a animation on vehicle model? I try to check the BTR. My example was a normal door from buildings

[normal quail]

24 hours later and I have re done the armature, I still have no bones showing. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong here

[civic surge]

I am in the process of learning the basic modding things and now have the following problem:
I added an Object ingame and now want to open a dialog by interacting with it. I already added the ActionManagerComponent to my prefab. Is there a standard action to open the dialog or do i have to create a custom via script and if so how must it be structured?

[trim needle]

Should my object/prop mesh be triangulated? I can't seem to get the object fireGeo and character collisions working still. I've tried simplifying my collision object.

[normal quail]

I fixed it, anyone with this problem. Check your weight painting.

[merry python]

why do some parts of the object has different colors?

I didn't applied the tex yet

[tacit eagle]

It might be a debug to show where different materials are applied?

As you have the metal and polymer materials applied to the weapon.

[merry python]

I'm mainly woundering about the red/blue parts

idk if that's a issue

[wanton vigil]

Check vertex color. PBRBasic us using vertex color for multiplying the PBRBasic albedo output by it.

[topaz bay]

Hi there,
I had some 3d files bought it from turbo-squid -some of old Russian cars- my question is:
Will reforger support my files
3ds-max?
Is it eligible to use it with arma workshop

[wanton vigil]

The only supported format is FBX, which can be exported from 3dsMax. Check "FBX import" in BIKI docs. for details.

[topaz bay]

@wanton vigil I’ll try to do so, thank you very much
Hope it work 👍🏻

[wanton vigil]

Try asking in "configuration" or "scripting" channel i guess

[civic surge]

Okay thanks i'll try

[wanton vigil]

Make sure your colliders are done properly ( Check FBX Import in BIKI docs.). Maybe share here error messages that show upon re-importing of the model.

If your collider i UCX ...meaning convex, definitely triangulate and check if it is really convex before pushing it to Enfusion.

[sharp mist]

Anyone knows why my car might be dessapearing when falling on the ground?

[wanton vigil]

I am not sure...but if it is falling through the ground, then check if collision colliders are functional maybe.

[sharp mist]

It all started when i finished doing handling. Before that i could normally sit in it and everything was fine. I'll try what you told

[wanton vigil]

Our encoders might know more, @tidal latch maybe?

[wanton vigil]

UBX works only on cube primitive which has pivot orientation aligned with the box properly. I dunno how it looked in your case.

[daring condor]

Is there any way to disable that or clear vertex colours from within the workbench? It's something I and others use to generate colour ID maps for texturing in substance or similar software

[wanton vigil]

Currently no way to purge vertex color during import. So you need to do it in your 3d suit before export I am afraid .

But I am taking note and will ask inhouse if this option would be doable at some point.

[daring condor]

Cool, thanks for the answer

[solemn goblet]

Are there any samples for ArmA 3 style autonomous vehicles within Enfusion? Something that can be controlled remotely.

[daring condor]

Brother, we don't have tracked

And you ask for UAVs?

[solemn goblet]

Hey man. I don't know what shenanigans people have come up with. I just watched a guy in the VC turn a screw press into a machine gun. I have no idea.

[sick shard]

So I found out you can export models from Maya when they're rigged you just have to invert all of the bones by -90 on the x axis and it will import just fine into infusion just anyone in the future asking if it's possible that to import with Maya

[plucky rover]

hooray for fbx being created for filmbox z up

Where everyone has to rotate

[opal moat]

What is involved in making clothing for reforger that I should know before I start to model it?

[willow sage]

You'll have to get a good skeleton

And download reforger characters samples from their git hub

Skeleton is actually needed for rigging your clothes, but even you get fixed one from Quebec - does not get automatic weights in proper way.

Samples for scale and orientation.

Textures resolutions for :
Headgear 1024px
Upperbody 2048px
Lowerbody 2048px
Footwear 1024px
Vest / Belts with pouches on one tex 2048px

"rigid body"

[plain citrus]

Anyone have a tutorial on how to properly adjust a weapon with blender or 3d max?

[solemn goblet]

Adjust in what way?

[plain citrus]

for correctly set armature, skeleton etc ...

[sly bridge]

i am working on one for 3ds max

if i figure out the animations, will be available including some sort of base mesh template

[plain citrus]

Nice tell me when it is online ! 🙂

Because i have some fbx but i'm little bit lost x)

[zenith quartz]

I overestimated, together they're 6K verts.

11.5K tris.

[eager hill]

With modifiers turned off it's around 4.5K verts, so not that bad

[dense plover]

Try get it down a bit more. 3k range

if you can of course

[tacit eagle]

i disagree, add more verts for the memes, give me a 70k vert scope

[eager hill]

It's almost finished and I'm going to simplify it as much as possible

[quasi thistle]

is there maybe somebody who can walk me trough the whole process of importing a model and making it game ready?

[eager hill]

And to be honest it's not that bad. ARTII scope which is in the game is somehow 10K verts

[dense plover]

LMAO WTF.

ok nevermind, go crazy.

[eager hill]

Enfusion is really good at handling models with high amount of polygons

[dense plover]

Awesome, this is good news. I'm making an L85A3 with 15K atm. Worrying I was at the high end.

[woven swallow]

#WIP. Does anyone know what's the new limit on poly count for Enfusion ?

[delicate condor]

No matter the limit, models should always be optimized

[normal quail]

Nice cart, I too wonder what the limit is. I am working on a beetle at the moment. Its around 70k faces at the moment. Loads perfectly. Testing around last night I put in a high poly sample model in enfusion and it renders in workbench but yeah would never put it in the game
