YESSS

BENDABLE KNEES

[ancient pollen]

woo!!!

[lilac garnet]

amazing!

[hidden temple]

Do be mindful to credit the original upload ( my upload ) if you used what was there in that original upload.
@eager kettle

If you did not use another upload to make this one, then nevermind then.

[sterile swan]

Probably a stupid question, but I'm new to animation. How do I get the legs to move? I can puppet everything else but the leg bones seem disconnected.

[eager kettle]

Be sure to adjust the IK/FK slider in the rig properties.

[sterile swan]

THank you!

[trim copper]

This is probably a stupid question, but is there a way to port this to SFM?

[jagged meteor]

The same way you’d port anything to source, but the textures will probably need baked as well so you can turn them into vtfs

[pearl condor]

The face textures are wacky

[eager kettle]

Working on adding more heads to the Soldiers/Workers. Planning on trying to create regular civilians as well.

[lilac garnet]

thatd be awesome!

[autumn goblet]

small issues with the wrists

[eager kettle]

lmao what are you doing with it?

[autumn goblet]

rotating the wrist in pose mode

[eager kettle]

Can you take a screenshot of your layout screen?

[autumn goblet]

it appears to have fixed itself somehow

nvm it's only for their left arm

kinda cluttered but I hope you can notice

and a full screenshot too if needed

[eager kettle]

turn off the deform bones and only use the rig.

[autumn goblet]

ok

[jagged wave]

out of curiosity, is this rig going to be updated at some point soon?

and/or, do you mind reuploading this rig with the metarig attached? Theres a few things about this rig that I wanted to fix/upgrade a little bit for use in my own project and I'll gladly reupload with weight painting fixes and whatnot

The Rig itself seems to be disconnected from Rigify itself in 4.0+, if I can get the metarig I can fix the rig layers and whatnot

[eager kettle]

This rig is from the https://discord.com/channels/1210541115829260328/1227947078257217657
by @frozen pond . Idk if they'll update their rig or not 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps, whenever I get back to this model, I'll look into an updated rig.

[eager kettle]

But it does have a Rig U.I. Try re-loading the rig script.

[jagged wave]

when i do, it doesnt load the actual UI

do you have the file on your pc with a metarig attached? or one that has working rig layers

the current one only downloads with all bones in one layer, even after manual seperation due to the rigui script being different than what it was when it was generated it causes issues and from what I understand I'd have to basically rewrite the UI part of the script in Python if I were to make those edits to the actual rig

Worst case scenario, I can regen the metarig using ORG bones and just remake the entire model but I was hoping that'd be a last resort lol

Also, I saw another person mention issues with the left handed fk control deforming the wrist bone, I wasnt able to get that working even when I tried disabling deform bones so idk if u had any other solutions for how to get that working

[eager kettle]

Yeah, I think it's time to update Lex's rig. In the meantime, I recommend using https://discord.com/channels/1210541115829260328/1212033066747564063 by @still quest or https://discord.com/channels/1210541115829260328/1211173301708263505 by @plush zealot.

They all use the same weights so you'll only have to unparent the old rig then parent the new one with empty weights.

[jagged wave]

Betbet, I tried doing it last night with empty weights and was having issues but i was also like half asleep so I'll see if I can get it working today

Either way I'll probably end up getting something functioning and if I do I can post it here for anyone else that wants it for the time being if that's cool with u

[frozen pond]

Left hand is a skinning issue on SEAF Soldier model. l_hand and l_hand_twist vertex group's names must be switched.

The rig in SEAF Soldier file is borked and has no bone collections, which is why the script doesn't work. Needs to be re-appended in 4.0+.

[jagged wave]

betttt ty for the fix

I might be able to remake the collections and try to fix the ui, I havent gotten a chance to try and fix this up yet 💀

if I do manage to get something functioning before an official fix is made Ill send it for anyone that might wanna use it

[frozen pond]

No need to remake anything. Just delete the borked rig and append the one from here #1227947078257217657 message

And make sure you're on 4.0+

[jagged wave]

So i managed to get it working, but I didnt realize until now but the knees bending in IK is messing with the model

[jagged wave]

Sup y'all, life did what life does and I got super busy and never was able to fixing some of the weight painting issues, now I'm a tad bit better and getting ready for a larger helldivers project, finished these and wanted to upload them here

I'm eventually planning on dumping all the assets I make into an upload at some point (environments, rigs, mocap data etc.) but that'll probably be a bit and this will give me a good chance to make sure my blend files are all exporting properly

this is using the textures exported from the one large helldivers project that was made for UE4, Slapped Lexs rig on the model and replaced the head with the SEAF workers ones, then just made some mods for swapping between skin colors and the gore for the character and did some light sculpting to make the female models more feminine, if theres any issues yall find with these feel free to lmk and ill try to fix what I can/if anyone wants to bake more stuff into this I'd totally appreciate it as I'm not the best with making rigs lol

[lilac garnet]

i use unreal but man this is so cool, glad other willl be able to use em. great work btw!

[jagged wave]

Ty man I appreciate it

[jagged wave]

reopened this and already found a few lil bugs on some stuff, gonna polish it a bit more since its not 6am now and reupload either later today or once I get the SEAF workers done too

[jagged wave]

Fixed up some stuff and made the weight painting a little bit better, also made sure the fingers worked (its a lil jank on IK ngl but it should get the job done lol)

[jagged wave]

Last Time I'll post in here since I dont wanna keep clogging it, next uploads will probs be in an independent post since it'll have way more than just this but I wanted to post these here for now at least, I finished both the SEAF Soldiers and Workers, both have M/F Var and Drivers for Skin Color and Damage States

Pretty sure everything should be working as is, fingers might be a lil off on one or two of em but it should all be usable

[sage flicker]

Is this still maintained?

I wonder if anyone have baked textures from the model.

[jagged wave]

I updated a version of these rigs like 5 days ago

i actually didnt check if the textures were baked onto them lol but for in blender use they should work

[sage flicker]

Yeah, I want baked textures that are separated and not come in as "all-in-one".

But that if it's impossible, then that's fine.

[jagged wave]

I mean it should be possible to bake them out using JUDs shader

haven't looked into that tho cus my workflow ends in blender lol

if you do figure something out though please share, I'm in the process of making a huge asset pack rn and I wanna make it as accessible as possible regardless of platform

[sage flicker]

Yeah, well, do you have a separate model that is still using Jud's shader?

[jagged wave]

I actually dont know if those models are using the LUTs, I've already fully extracted 99% of the game textures anyway so if they're missing them I can always reapply the shader

I actually found some alternate camo SEAF uniforms in the game files, I extracted them but never took a look at them yet, was throwing around the idea of including those as a rig in the pack so I might end up going thru and reworking these ones anyway

[eager kettle]

They might be the Colonial Guard designs. Can you send the textures here?

[jagged wave]

Ye I can when I find em, they're currently unsorted rn 😭
