I am testing out how to make animation works rn, and I don't know how to really make my animation into a .gfs or .gmd when it asks me that. Help? Using Maya

#

I know that, but how do I make a .Gap?

#

Cause I tried to see if I could take one from the game and replace it, but idk how to really get my animation out as the file it needs

#

when I export a persona's animation, it is a .ganm file. Do I have to make it into that?

#

Okay, I will try that

#

see i choose the model with animation, and it asks for this

#

i clicked the animation 0 and hit replace

#

yeah exactly

#

hold on ill show the process

#

i picked it when asking for gmd? cause it wont show when that way and i cant changed it that way

#

oh wait hold on

#

i think i just clicked what u meant lol

#

great

#

i have an error when tryna save it

#

says value cant be null. ill try to fix that(clearly i am very new to all of this lol)

#

yeah i couldnt figure it out.

i don't think you actually need to select a gmd when replacing an anim

#

but it might be your export settings maybe

languid wing
#

hmm interesting. Well That tells me my animation doesnt work i guess. let me try again

#

well it didnt work so i MUST have done something wrong(All i did was make him kick fast but maybe that what affected it. maybe it is too fast?)

#

one thing i need to fix

#

is this but idk how to

#

i made a different post for it cause it is an entire different issue

languid wing
#

Okay fixed the issue i think. Now animations arent showing up

#

so yeh that still a problem but i can save now

#

Like, the animation is showing to be as fast as I believe it would go, but it isnt showing up

languid wing
#

god this model is awful but it is the only one i got really

#

how the hell is his left arm smaller than his right?

#

im gonna use a different model. this is awful

languid wing
#

found a WAY better model lool

languid wing
#

Okay so issue

#

Shaggy's eyes are a different mesh but it looks fine here, right?

#

idk why it is doing this

#

I am gonna still animate like this cause it could be like some other models where it looks wrong in GFD but not in game maybe?

languid wing
#

okay I did an animation of him moving his arm up to see if it works and it doesnt. Any help?

languid wing
#

Still havent figure this out sadly

#

And i cant find any videos or help pages on it either since this is the first time apparently

languid wing
#

Okay I have it down to just...not showing up in GFD studio. it is on the model, just not showing it

languid wing
#

Yeah so I am gonna tell the process and see if it is wrong. After I do the animation, I grab the whole model with said animation then export it to fbx. Then I replace the GMD model with my model, which works when i make it a P5Character preset. Then I load animations from the old GMD model and tried replacing the first animation there(Animation 0). Doesn't show, but the time duration shows that it is there. Also I made the fbx a different name for said animation

languid wing
#

is it because it is custom bones and it doesnt like it

#

idk

charred socket
#

as long as it doesn't exceed 255 bones it shouldn't matter

languid wing
#

let me check that

languid wing
#

slams head on desk It has 399...WHY DOES IT HAVE THAT MANY TO BEGIN WITH?!

#

that means i cant do this model huh

charred socket
#

you can just delete some bones and rerig

languid wing
#

Okay hold on. one idea i got

languid wing
#

it has 252 now cause i deleted the face bones. still doesnt work

#

he is at least sized right i guess but no animations
