Persona 5 X to P5R (P5R:XD)

[vale maple]

And how or when this will be fixed?

[whole bison]

turns out black wings released official mmd models and so thankfully i don't have to go through the hell that was trying to rig this top anymore

also means that there's models for every new pt up to howler only exception is i'd need to do the face rigging which is well not gonna be fun

[safe thorn]

where did you get the mmd models?

[sterile wren]

ay yo

[rose vine]

[whole bison]

uhhhh im not actually sure what site the sites called bc it's in chinese and requires phone number verification apparently

[safe thorn]

I see

you could potentially post the models here actually? So then going to the site isn't needed.

[whole bison]

https://www.deviantart.com/kadarkokam/art/Biligame-MMD-Model-links-download-954586405

apparently the link to the site do be here

[safe thorn]

Thank you🙏

[mellow dew]

holy shit based bilibili for having :3 as their logo

[whole bison]

[mellow dew]

[dim mesa]

just note that some aren't very good and one of (from what morty and i have noticed) the models has an old texture from the first beta, which is....not very good

i have a pic of Fleuret, gimme a sec

https://imgur.com/a/LcgO9zQ
(First is mmd, second is in game)

the UVS are completely different too, so you can't slap his current texture on him

so older characters may possibly have outdated textures from the first beta, if i'm correct

[dim mesa]

if nobody wants to hand over their phone number, here's a direct link to them all
https://www.mediafire.com/file/gw6mxlqwvafm45w/P5X_MMD_Models.zip/file

unfortunately, these are the only characters available

if anybody wants all the thief models + their irl appearance, hit me up

I have a project going on trying to rig these fuckers
i've run 99% of them through an auto-rigger, so the weights just need to be corrected

[wary cloak]

the textures are sorta bad, for example chords thief model doesnt have her shorts for some reason (its a really weird edit that the uploader did, j dont know why)

i dont know if theres more edits like that but i would be cautious with these ones

[dim mesa]

possibly a beta texture, you can see if her regular lays

since Morty did say that they revamped textures later on

hence why Fleuret's textures are such a dramatic difference

[wary cloak]

maybe but i dont think so since theres another texture included that has her undershirt edited out so its just skin

[whole bison]

grrrr i hate physics

[sterile wren]

[whole bison]

dniwe do you know why it disapears please

[sterile wren]

i do not

have you checked without any collisions

[whole bison]

i'll try that now

[sterile wren]

can also try reducing number of iterations

it's in physics chunk header

[whole bison]

at least it doesn't disapear now

this is w no collisions and iterations reduced from 3 to 1

[sterile wren]

i wouldnt go that low

[whole bison]

anything above it makes the tail disapear

[vale maple]

What do you guys think of him https://x.com/Persona5X_News/status/1906013272077217810

P5X News and Info (@Persona5X_News) on X

First look at Ikenami Shoki Codename Luce. He is a 3rd year at Kiga High School. He is half Japanese and half Italian. Performs stage plays at his school and is very popular amongst the students.

X · Mar 29, 2025, 3:59 PM

[mellow dew]

half italian lol

[dim mesa]

idk but I'm hyped for chapter 4. That is all.

[vale maple]

Same here

But I also hope mortyyy is doing better with the mod and I can't wait to see what he comes up with

[dim mesa]

Well mortyyy would have an easier time continuing if it were actually possible to extract the rig and vertex groups from the public beta release
But rirurin has not updated his assetstudio fork (and isn't focused on it) due to working on multiplayer metaphor and event editing for p3r femc project
I've been trying to get in contact with TGE and even had Shrinefox pass a message that I wanted to talk about commissioning him for an importer
But no response

Unless somebody crawls out of the woodworks to remedy this roadblock, there won't be much progress

I mean...p5x models are also A-pose instead of T
Which is
Very troublesome

[dim mesa]

And what's hilarious is that he was announced in the livestream to be the newest party member (yes I know this message is really old, just scrolling through the thread for info)

And ironically he'd be perfect for Akechi if the stars ever line up again because look at his PT gear (also his code name is Luce)

[vale maple]

I know, that happened 2 weeks ago, I posted about it when it happened.

[dim mesa]

I don't keep track of this thread haha

I'm looking over this thread atm because i'm scouring for any info on what the p5x textures do or how I could apply them to the secretary from chapter 4 cause he's handsome

[vale maple]

Idk about that, it seems he may most likely not be a traitor or black mask. Haven't gotten to his chapter yet but from what I've heard his story and background are different as well as his personality and persona background

Such as his awakening

But I wanna wait and see what Mortyy has to say about it

Funnily enough, he said the reason behind him planning to put him over akechi was that he was going to be a curse affinity user

[vale maple]

I see. We also talked when I saw your model of him in the art channel.

From what I've heard he's the ||punching bag slave of the New palace ruler||

But I can't wait to see his future involvement and how it will play out.

Maybe he becomes a party member too?

[dim mesa]

Saammeeeee

[dim mesa]

It's his official model

[dim mesa]

Ironically, apparently his file name shares the same monicker as thieves
It's unknown if this is a mistake or not tho

[dim mesa]

Yeah I really don't buy that theory, it's utterly baseless outside of simarities such as: being pretty/popular with the girls, a prince themed thief outfit, and being a bless user (iirc Luce is bless)

From what I saw on the anniversary live stream, he has no motivation, nor does he even know of the gang

He's shrimply a stage actor in the drama club at the school he goes to with Aran (Polter)

[vale maple]

Holy shit are we back!?!?

Did the vertex groups thing get resolved!?

[whole bison]

yeah

well

hopefully

i found a workaround

im testing it rn for a character that's never exported properly so it might not be a global solution but it works for characters that do export in some form

i piggybacked off a working wonderthiefwholebody export to get the cn new years stuff

[vale maple]

Oh, so it does work for some new characters then!

[whole bison]

idk that's what im checking now

[vale maple]

Ah, alright!

So excited!

Can't wait to see your plans, especially the latest versions!

I really want to catch up for the latest chapter too

[whole bison]

okay so it doesn't seem to work or at least for the one other model i tried bc it lacked a skinned mesh renderer in the bundles i checked

[vale maple]

Ah crap, which model was it? And did it have vertex groups at least?

How many other models will you try?

[late socket]

That looks very nice

[whole bison]

shame this method of exporting meshes doesn't work on everything

[late socket]

Sadge

[vale maple]

Yeah, it's a shame

What other models have you tried, and which ones worked?

I hope at least some of the new main story characters can be exported

[whole bison]

they wont be

[vale maple]

Ah crap, so we still have to wait for someone to make working programs for exportation then.

Man, I could tell you were excited too to get wind in there because of how you were using Makoto

[sterile wren]

updated joker persona 5 when...

[whole bison]

fucked up thing is this method would work for the jorker....

[vale maple]

Ah, so it only works on characters that were exported previously in the betas

Then we can't do much, crap.

Was really looking forward to what you had planned given the latest chapter

[mellow dew]

jorking it....

and by it

i mean

my peanits.......

[whole bison]

face mats of all time

oh embed

[late socket]

indeed

[vale maple]

That's the newest Soy model I take it?

It looks amazing btw, I love how the blood was on his face!

[olive tinsel]

Hi! I understand that the mod takes a lot of work and it really looks great, but I wanted to know when the next update might be, or if there are any plans for it soon. Thanks in advance!

[whole bison]

uhhhhhhh

i have no clue i haven’t actually had the time to fully test stuff in game

but for soy i need to do basically everything other than the model and closers basically done iirc just a few bust ups

[olive tinsel]

Ohh I see, thank you so much for replying, and good luck with the mod. Thank you so much for your great work!

[arctic jewel]

Ooooh nicely done! Outta curiosity, are full character model replacements harder to make compared to outfit mods? Cuz on one hand, you wouldn't have to worry about sculpting the outfit to fit a different character model, but there are probably several other factors to consider that I don't know about.

[vale maple]

I'm also curious to know, what other p5x outfit mods did you do besides the ones you published?

[whole bison]

uhhhh outfit mods are way easier, don't have to worry about stuff like ui, anims, rigs etc

velvet room is kinda looking nice tho

[late socket]

It does look nice. Is there any reason why some rooms appear really bright?

[whole bison]

uhhh yeah i’m gonna fix that later

[whole bison]

physics time yippee

[vale maple]

WIND IS HERE!?!?!??! FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!

I thought we wouldn't see her because you said that the new characters wouldn't, so this is a very pleasant suprise!

[whole bison]

i mean i haven't done any other outfits for her yet

and the only reason we have this one is bc of the mmd stuff

so no uniform stuff or anything yet

and i was putting it off for ages bc i didn't wanna face rig

[vale maple]

Ah, I see.

Hopefully that can be resolved soon tho

Btw what was with that background monologue?

[whole bison]

oh im watching a signalis video lmfao-

[sterile wren]

receiveshadow on face mat 💔

[whole bison]

i was too lazy to set up mats for the cutscene model rn

[late socket]

Very nice

[whole bison]

grrrrr it's right there smh smh

[dim mesa]

Now if only BWS was kind enough to give us some more of the real world models and not just mainly thief outfits

Hell, the furry (Howler/Runa) got one for her irl self
It's criminal
Just her and Wonder have their irl model, if you exclude the swimsuit Moko and swimsuit Closer

[whole bison]

i might have to simplify the rig even more

[sterile wren]

just do it in parts lmao

then manually combine into one physics chunk

alternatively disable all visualization

[whole bison]

i did disable the visuals when adding the stuff but then i stole collision from makoto and uhhhh now i can't do that

the thing is the hair's so wide it's gonna be such a pain with makoto anims

[sterile wren]

i feel like it'd be easier to turn it into like a cape

parent hair related stuff to spine2 and make the top follow neck and head movement

there will be less clipping that way

sounds cursed but unironically would be less jank

[whole bison]

probably lmao-

tbf at this point im debating just using her short haired mesh until i'm bothered enough to do it

bc there's still like all of Soy's stuff left

which is basically gonna be a copy paste of his school uniform bc they canonised him not making him an out of school outfit

[dim mesa]

And all because that boy is precious and listens to his math teacher lmfao

It's actually neat because you can choose to spend the valentine's day event with him. He makes you homemade friend chocolate (ofc since this is persona he makes sure to clarify that it's strictly no homo, just friend chocolate)
He's a sweetie pie

From what I can recall, he has....5 models?

• uniform
• metaverse
• track suit
• swimsuit
• chef outfit (basically when he's making ramen)

[late socket]

So, were you able to get past that error?

[whole bison]

nope

[late socket]

https://tenor.com/view/shit-leslie-jordan-gif-11334450875675318506

[vale maple]

Since we aren't getting anywhere for a while, I'd say nows a good time to ask, based on the new chapter and story direction so far, what will be the current full cast?

[whole bison]

idk yet, looking more at game balance has been the main thing
closers elec
mona fire heal
soy ice phys
so idk who to put for yusuke yet
wind is well wind
navi doesn't really matter
haru - kotone
aketchi is still up in the air atm bc it depends when his p5x equivelant gets announced but the new guy kinda would work

sumi will probably be mont or somin idk yet kinda a free character

[vale maple]

I thought kotone was sumi and tomoko was haru?

[whole bison]

yeah idk theyre official names that well tbh

frost is gonna be sumi and kotomo is tomoko's internal name

[vale maple]

But anyways, I know who should be navi!

Ah lol

But here's who I was talking about to be navi

https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Aran_Hirano

[whole bison]

yeah i was thinking that when playing the story

[vale maple]

Neat! I was thinking shed be a perfect fit too! She isn't an official member or part of the team yet but she helps with the site and cards from what I've heard

And of course, the new guy, Ikenami, once known to you as Enco

He's actually my favorite even though I haven't met him in his chapter

But, it seems he won't be the akechi equivalent

And since Yusuke is still open, and hes also the 3rd boy in the team, then shouldn't it be obvious...?

[dim mesa]

Personally i would not put Luce/Shoki over Akechi 😭

That boy....

He has the facial expression range just above a fish

His model is a bit more expressive since p5x gives you closer shots of the models, but his sprites?

I'm sorry but BWS dropped the ball with his sprites, imo 😭

[verbal sierra]

his face is so pale 😭

[whole bison]

those sprites don’t have the gradient applied to them so that’s why lmao

[dim mesa]

Since BWS decided nah they won't have the gradient already applied....we'll just let a shader in the game generate it in real time (if i'm recalling correctly)

This is a guess, but maybe p5 already had them applied because it was more effective performance wise? (i mean, it was a ps3&ps4 title originally)

[verbal sierra]

it probably wasnt a concern of theirs during p5 development

p5x definitely has some... interesting visuals though

[sterile wren]

it was

ps3 version has bustups saved in a goofy way just to combat texture compression

p5x did a different thing for the same reason

mobile texture formats are dogshit for gradients

[vale maple]

Exactly! Same here, he's most likely not gonna be a traitor and the personalities don't match that much. But given that he's not going over Akechi, then it's already very obvious who he should be going over given the current roles.

I'm waiting for someone else to say it, but I'm not gonna wait forever.

[dim mesa]

Lemme guess - Yusuke

[vale maple]

Finally someone said it!

Do you think it's not fitting?

I think he fits perfectly there.

[dim mesa]

At least Yusuke has more dynamic facial expressions -
/j

I mean, it seems fitting to me
Not as much personality wise, seeing as Luce/Shoki is more....grounded instead of out touch with reality + has his priorities straight

[vale maple]

That's only one small difference, both of them are eccentric, have carrers of art, and their personalities match in a more general sense, but hey, the current casting also has these sort of differences.

I also brought up who should be Futaba, and Shoki being Yusuke would fit very well with it.

But I guess we'll just have to wait till what Mortyyy has to say about it

[vale maple]

Has Mudkip successfully exported the P5X model with rigging!?

I'm gonna go clarify.

[dim mesa]

The p5x model is literally his reload model

But higher poly count, re-skinned, and with some slightly more defined details

It appears the model was already T-posed (no surprise), so using his reload rig is simple
Apparently has same animations

So i highly doubt he got the rigging when he could do something like data/weight transfer from his reload model

https://x.com/REALMadMax1960/status/1917328376055968096?t=C1gDK95uGJ43CoZLw7Ok1Q&s=19

A Mudkip (@REALMadMax1960) on X

The meshes themselves have much more detail as well

X · Apr 29, 2025, 9:21 PM

[vale maple]

I wonder if in the meantime, Mortyyy could do p5x outfits on the p5 characters like he used to

Like Wonder's outfit on Joker, Rin's on Sumi

Since at least the models alone are exported

I especially liked the "p5 if a time traveler kicked a rock video", I hope he'll do more when the other models can be fully exported.

[whole bison]

currently working on a p big com so until that's done im not gonna be working on the mod

[vale maple]

I see. Thanks for letting me know. I hope I don't bother you when asking this much questions, and I wish you good luck on the commission.

[whole bison]

also i've managed to get winds anims ingame over makoto, although im gonna reretarget them all as i managed to get her 5* model to export via some bundle editing so im gonna redo the skeleton

[late socket]

[whole bison]

this method for wind was p good it also works on howler too and any probably any future character whose weapon requires animating

[late socket]

That sounds good

[whole bison]

how does this even-

[late socket]

https://tenor.com/view/out-disappear-bye-vanished-gif-4932063

Wonder really did just^

[vale maple]

That's amazing! I'm very excited to see it ina action!

Although, will we still see her with Makoto's anim's like usual? I hope so.

[sterile wren]

LMAO

[whole bison]

reretargeted her anims i just know this is gonna be hell for physics there's like 28 bones i needed to add to the rig

[whole bison]

no clue why that one bit of her chest isn't there but oh well

[vale maple]

Her chestplate got removed for maintenance and they forgot to put it back on

[dim mesa]

I love how it says day until Maruki acts
But you're up in Madarame's place lmao
Gotta love mod menu

I want to watch the vids but unfortunately my connection is being an ass 💀 guess i'll watch it tomorrow

[mellow dew]

*mod meu

[whole bison]

okay i might change the anim i decided to use here bc idk it looks kinda off to me

[whole bison]

no way actually exportable soy anims

[sterile wren]

we are so back

[whole bison]

altho i forgot what rig i used for him (if i scaled it up to soy or left it at ryuji proportions) so

[sterile wren]

simply retarget

[whole bison]

i was gonna anyways but i don't think i have a model with his cape still

[vale maple]

I get what you mean but at the same time it looks very cool and unique

[vale maple]

I wonder what showtime animation you will cook up for him, can't wait to see it

[sterile wren]

is it possible to extract models with 1:1 original normals

they do the same thing as fortnite in this game

actual model has dogshit normals and then they fix it with normal map

i only found out about this when checking p3mc model

if you can extract original models with correct normals then i can fix some finished ones in the mod one by one

i only care about wonder and soy though

[whole bison]

i can check w p3mc when i get back, altho idk if the normals of the ui model (the one i got exported) are the same as the one used in game

[dim mesa]

Idk if the model link I sent you was the one in the overworld, but if it is, maybe you can look up the file's name? Since the .obj and texture's names are left untouched

Or maybe Mudkip knows

Unless the UI one really is the overworld model (as well) 😭

[thorny bronze]

How does Wonder's model work? is it good?

[dim mesa]

He's boneless white meat (I know, i'm so funny)

[late socket]

Wonder’s model itself works fine. In the public standalone mod for that replacing Joker’s model. His bust up doesn’t blink but that’s a known issue for a while

[whole bison]

and one im not gonna fix i don't think

im like 90% sure wonder doesn't have blinks in p5x either that or i haven't found them in the files/noticed ingame

[sterile wren]

simply trace p3mc eyelashes

they stole the entire pose from p3d lmao

[whole bison]

but i don't wanna mess with editing the texture 20 times to get it to be in the correct position

also btw i could not infact find a way to get the normals to export correctly

[sterile wren]

that's so real

this is so sad

[late socket]

Alexa, play despacito

[whole bison]

why does her weapon have to disappear

i did also edit the camera but i have no clue where that gmd is hiding on my desktop

[dim mesa]

Damn those son of a bitches are creative
"One Day One"? Bros making a call back to Gone With the Storm. And the wings? Further proves it.
"Once a rover,
Pretty bird,
Struggled'in pretending to be free.
Since got over,
No longer,
One day one life is not just my wish."
Genius.

But aside from that, she looks great so far

Oh wait

It is one day, one life

It got squished or obscured

[dim mesa]

Btw, what kind of issues are the normals presenting? I only recently learned what normals are and i remember one of you saying that the normals were fixed when the normal texture was applied
(Also which of Dwine's shaders are you using? C_Complex?)

[whole bison]

disregard like the last half of this, but uhhh using this method of replacing stuff in uabea i managed to get cherish's model

[vale maple]

Oooh! Are you going to mod him in?

[dim mesa]

My goat Cherish (Masaki) 😩 👌

I hope Morty can manage to get him in, because I love Cherish (alongside Fleuret and Akashi)

[whole bison]

okay so the physics is uhhh physicing kinda

[late socket]

All of this just works

[whole bison]

oh that'd be why

[whole bison]

okay noesis exports fucks shit up (left better fbx right is what noesis looks like export looks the same in blender)

[late socket]

Oh…

[mellow dew]

the aerodynamics of boobs

[late socket]

Is it too early to see if the standalone Wonder over Joker mod can be updated to include the Chinese new year outfit from P5X?

[whole bison]

nah i could do it

just uhhhh

lazy!

i was gonna make it a seperate mod so i could include all the ui stuff but that'd mean i'd have to replace phantom suit for the portrait

[vale maple]

Has their been any new plans or characters/outfits to add for the mod?

[whole bison]

uhhhhh

i mean still the same as before but i've sorta put wind on the back burner until i cba to do physics

[late socket]

The portrait, you mean the one for the all out attack? I was thinking you can use make it a model swap over a costume without the unique UI stuff but I can see why

[whole bison]

nah the dialogue one

i got the aoa in using costume framework

and sadly i have no clue how setting it to use the joker one for an outfit works (or if it's even possible!)

[late socket]

oof

[whole bison]

here it is tho

oh wait the models big asf apparently

i don't think i edited aoa either to adjust it yet but oh well

also idk if it actually has valid materials soooo :P

[late socket]

You must meant the size of the model itself. I thought that alone can take up a few gigabytes of space

[late socket]

Well, theres only 1 way to find out

wait I dont have blender

[vale maple]

Mortyyyy, if you could export all the models from P5X what would you do next?

[whole bison]

battle anim stuff -> AOA -> 2d battle stuff -> non p5x but needed outfits -> Bustup -> Cutins -> anything else that's still not done

the bustups are p easy

but manually replacking every file takes way too long

[vale maple]

Ah, I see.

I'm really excited to see more of your custom outfits for them!

But I'm also excited to see the next characters you add as well.

[vale maple]

I have a question

Will all the rest of the secondary Thieves be included as alternate costumes for the main ones?

[whole bison]

wdym

[vale maple]

Like in the mod, for the secondary thieves that are phantom idols

Will they be alternate costumes for the characters/main theives?

[whole bison]

eh maybe depends if i ever get around to it

main ones are a priority first ofc

but im sorta working on this custom field mod atm, so maybe after i finish up this i'll get around to p5x stuff again

[vale maple]

I see.

I'll be looking forward to that, but in the meantime, I wish you good luck on that other mod.

[vale maple]

Hey @whole bison, I know you still may be busy with other things, but I wanna ask, what are any persona 3/persona 3 reload custom outfits you have planned for the rest of the p5x party members?

I'm asking this because of what's happening in the P3 reload collab

[whole bison]

just gonna be matched based off party roles

[vale maple]

So like, their order, right?

Based on the order they join in the mod and the actual game it's easy to piece together, right?

[whole bison]

wonder - makoto
closer - currently yukari but maybe akihiko idk
soy - junpei
wind - mitsuru
and then yeah

[vale maple]

What about the other two that join later?

By that I mean Luce and Polter

[vale maple]

I'll just say it, I think Luce and Polter should get Akihiko and Fuuka respectively

[dim mesa]

The only thing I'll say is that we don't know if she'll awaken to one, but it's highly likely she will. Because the devs said it was Luce AND Aran's arc. And this upcoming segment is supposed to be Aran's arc. If anything, I'm more curious about the Daichi thing

[vale maple]

The reason why I was curious about the p3 outfits thing is because of how you said about the ending lol

Where in the collab ||Riko sensed that Motoha, Shun, and Shoki are nearby as well||

So I got curious and wanted to know which sees member is similar to the current p5x gang, since ||they will eventilually be meeting them all||

[vale maple]

Same here, Daichi's case is looking to he interesting

If he joins later, I think he will be the Akechi of P5X

[dim mesa]

I think everyone has to stop saying that 💀
Just let the story play out

We've had people say Luce is the Akechi, Aran is the Akechi, etc
Just let the story play out

[vale maple]

Sorry if that annoys you

Yeah, I was annoyed by that too for Luce

[dim mesa]

Well here's the thing: lots of people are saying it 😭

It's gotten to the point where i'm just annoyed people keep pointing at characters and saying 'it's the akechi!'
Just let the plot play out

[vale maple]

Sure thing then

I'll say this about Daichi though

If he does join, I think his affinity will be nuke and curse(maybe even physical, maybe in seperate forms or hybrid)

And I think his outfit will have a biker/metallic aesthetic with buckles

[vale maple]

@whole bison, if this helps, I found a Chinese animator who somehow has a casual Riko model: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1yAdYYLEzp/?spm_id_from=333.1387.homepage.video_card.click

I havent checked if there was a official mmd model uploaded, but if not, they could know a way to properly export the models.

We could try to get in contact with them and ask

[whole bison]

THIS IS SO SAD

AFTER 2 YEARS ON THE MOD

NOT ONLY DOES NOESIS BREAK ANIMATIONS (which can easily be fixed by just using better fbx) BUT IT'S A RIGGING ISSUE ON WONDERS MODEL NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE ANIMATION

[mellow dew]

bro just stretches?

[whole bison]

they gave his ass bones the wrong name lmfao

[lofty breach]

hello??? unstretch him he is not slime

[jovial oracle]

wait, is this mod project still in the works? I hope it is. I love all the party members/idols and persona models that were in P5X

[whole bison]

yeah just kinda slow bc im the only one working on it and uhhhh i don't really wanna spend hours doing the ui stuff

[whole bison]

TO DO: (also if anyone wants to help feel free it'll get this done faster) in order of priority

• Add Assist Bustups (im p sure this should be p easy w something like chainer to just resize the bustups by 50%) ~~ done (not with the exception of the shadowed portrait)
  - Add Swimsuit Model and Bustup (it's already rigged not sure if it's included but ik i have the file somewhere)~~ done
• Fix festival/ new years bustup, currently has an issue with the alpha giving it a white outline no clue what happened but i couldnt replicate the issue maybe i fixed it already and forgor lmk if it is an issue tho
• Replace remaining missing outfits in the Character Folder (most likely copy paste bc closer has like 2 outfits)
  -~~ Add corresponding bustups for outfits (most likely copy paste bc closer has like 2 outfits)~~ done for all non unqiue bustups
• port that bear from p5x shibuya for Ann's yusuke scene and bustups too
• redo cognitive Ann model and make bustup for it (it's gonna be in the same style as the generic girls in his palace (flat pink etc) bc uhhh yeah i AM NOT doing what base p5 did
• Double check no mat crashes on models
• Redo Costume Armatures to include Closer's Weapon bones, then add weapon to rig, then redo all battle anims for proper weapon animations
• Hit timings for attacks
• Polish up AOA
• Add Swimsuit AOA

oh also confidant ui

[late socket]

I’ll make sure to install that mod when I start play P5R again

[jovial oracle]

nice! any info on Lufel or Soy?

[whole bison]

Lufel's probably not gonna be done for a while, and soy tbh could be finished now technically but that boy only ever wears his school uniform canonically so like 😭

[vale maple]

I'm so excited to see any info on the newer party members, when will they be added and what are their plans so far

[vale maple]

Could the casual uniform perhaps be his apron outfit but without the apron and headband?

[dim mesa]

He also a gym uniform model, iirc
And ofc his swimsuit model

[whole bison]

closer's assist bustups, go in characters/ann/1/font

[whole bison]

bustups for all non unquie thingies (so it covers summer, winter, midwinter stuff)

[late socket]

And where does that go?

[whole bison]

\p5rpc.models.CloserOverAnn\Characters\Ann\1

i haven't tested them yet but hopefully it should work without issue

[late socket]

Ohh

[whole bison]

NO FUCKING WAY P5X HAD A PIZZA HUT COLLAB

[late socket]

Oh yea, that happened a while back on the servers in China. There was even some official art of Wonder, Joker and the others eating pizza I think

[whole bison]

why did they yaoiify him

[sterile wren]

dorito face

why did he bite just the bun

[whole bison]

ptsd from big bang challenge

a yaoi is not complete without a twink

[late socket]

[main pendant]

why does the anime pizza looks so good we all know that is not how pizza hut looks

[whole bison]

WHAT IS THIS NECK LMFAO

[whole bison]

oh nvm i guess all bustups are jagedy asf

[mellow dew]

ok they kinda cooked with this swimsuit fit tho fr

kinda like the yukari p3d fit

[late socket]

[CRUNCH]

[whole bison]

so true it goes so hard

[mellow dew]

i usually shit on swimsuit models cuz they're just for fanservice and even tho this is probably the exact same in that regard it goes way harder than it needs to lmao

[whole bison]

ik it's gonna be hell but considering im redoing anims anyways i might look into some of the field/event ones bc that neck is so bad lmfao

also not sure if i showed it off but i replaced the fire epls in this cutscene a while back and uhhh it was surprisingly easy to do in the beta lmao

might replace kamoshida w the subway slammer real quick

[dim mesa]

wheeze
Oh boy

Show this to Twitter (and maybe BS) and the internet will blow up

[mellow dew]

replace mid with peak

do it

[whole bison]

im gonna have to fix his eye bc vanilla kamoshida's models fucky

[dim mesa]

Now put the shadow over Kamoshida's shadow, I must see it

[whole bison]

already have

https://youtu.be/o7Xk2tWBebs?si=mdzCQZP660THuhFx

[dim mesa]

No no

I meant his shadow self

[whole bison]

ohhhh

[dim mesa]

Not the monstrous form

[whole bison]

i have also done that already

but kamoshida's arms aren't animated 90% of the time

so it looks really bad

[dim mesa]

I wanna see anyway lol

[whole bison]

unfortunately the file has been lost

[dim mesa]

Sad face

[spare violet]

shouldnt it be a baseball

[whole bison]

yeah but i cba to do that for a shitpost mod

maybe when all the party members are done

[merry lichen]

is it possible to get that new years outfit or have you not released it yet?

[whole bison]

i think i sent it in here somewhere

[whole bison]

.

[merry lichen]

oh thank you so much

[merry lichen]

everytime i use the outfit my game crashes idk what to do

[whole bison]

do you have custom bonus tweaks installed

[merry lichen]

oh i forgot about that

im sorry

[whole bison]

but yeah there’s some mat issues w it i’ll need to fix before i push the next update for the wonder mod

sorta waiting on a good way to import add anims to fix expressions but😔

[merry lichen]

hopefully that comes

[stable meteor]

Love the work you've done so far

I'm interested in helping out, specifically with replacing the instances where text displays "Joker" to wonder

That being said I have limited experience modding in general

I'd appreciate any info on what something like that would entail or just any direction at all ^^

[leaden frigate]

What are gonna be the party members outside of the 5

[whole bison]

eh idk tbf by the time they’re done the whole stories gonna be out so

[dim mesa]

And in an interview, as of the current palace (the 4th) going on in the asia servers is halfway through the story
Well, it'll officially be halfway by the time the palace ends

[whole bison]

updated bustup thingy, doesn't include the upscaling bit, but should speed up the process of seperating the bustups for p5r

[whole bison]

trying to match color from p5x and i accidentally created a monster

[mellow dew]

THE TRUE POWER OF THE SUBWAY SLAMMER

[vale maple]

Really? You're gonna focus on the first 5 for that long?

[forest radish]

it looks like one of those AI images that try to pass an image of the P2 villain as a burger

[daring iron]

I really like Ryuuji but I think he should be Closer I could even see it inspirin someone to mod more.

For Balance I think Shun would fit for Haru.

After that I have no idea.

But I think this is a cool project regardless. It cracks modding open like an egg, and I come from romhacking and I love that stuff.

[urban void]

This is a sick mod, are you looking for other people to work on the mod with you? I haven't done modding for a while but I was really thinking of getting into modding persona

I'd need to learn persona modding first but I've currently modded botw, pokemon swsh and re4 remake

[late socket]

this texture in particular might need to be adjusted more

[mellow dew]

nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

that's ideal

[whole bison]

oh that's weird, do the blinks and mouth movements work

tbf i kinda need to redo all of closers bustups anyways w better gradients which is kinda

[mellow dew]

closer is too peak for p5r

[late socket]

They work during story mode cutscenes but that’s about it

[whole bison]

do you have another mod that edits assist bust ups ?

bc it should be working

[late socket]

I dont think I do, let me double check my mod list then

I might need to disable the Overhaul AoA colors cut-ins mod

[spare violet]

@whole bison how’s progress going?

[whole bison]

uhhhhhhhhh

slow !

im the only person working on the mod and there's other mods i wanna work on in the meantime

[spare violet]

@whole bison is there any ways people could help expedit the process for you?

[whole bison]

uhhhh anything really

mainly bustups

[spare violet]

are you manually drawing or dumping from P5X

[whole bison]

dumping from p5x

[spare violet]

global ? bc I've been dumping textures anyways for localizing TW

I got loads of the textures on my pc already

[whole bison]

cn/kr

[spare violet]

alright

Ive got EN and TW textures

[whole bison]

i mean for bustups it doesnt really matter what version apart from global bc it has the old bustups

[spare violet]

alr I'll see iff I have any of the bustups dumped

found some

[whole bison]

uhhhh...

those arent bustups

i can get the files anyways it's more of a making it work w p5 thing

[spare violet]

oh those are the uhhh

blanking on the name

the chat icons

and yea my tw doesnt seem to have any bustups dumped yet

[vale maple]

So I take it you're working on maps and already expored characters with their bust up portions and other stuff besides animations, right?

[spare violet]

Any updates on this?

[vale maple]

Yeah! I would really like to know!

@whole bison Any updates to the plans or characters for this mod so far? As well as any other P5X costume plans besides the ones you said on the page of the new year Joker outfit?

[arctic jewel]

Hey not to be that guy, but you two might wanna cool it a bit with askin' for updates. I totally get the enthusiasm, but from my experience, it can get kinda irritating after a while.

[mellow dew]

especially pinging about updates

[vale maple]

Sorry.

Sometimes pinging him is the only way to ask him bc he doesnt respond to dms

But still, sorry if that's too much

[spare violet]

I was just asking since its beeen a month since I checked in on the mod

[whole bison]

the mods in the same state it was before, i haven’t touched it

[spare violet]

alright, looking forward to when you finish the mod (dw take your time man not like im gonna die anytime soon lol)

dont want to make you feel pressured yk

[whole bison]

here's the merope files if someone wants to polish it up and finish it, just the model w retargeted anims i think idrk i havent touched this since basically 2 years ago

oh and this

[spare violet]

wait 2 years ago?

[whole bison]

yeah

i haven't touched it since then

so it's not finished at all

[spare violet]

but didnt the asia servers come out last year?

[whole bison]

beta

[spare violet]

the beta was in 2023?

how long ago did atlus announce this game?

[whole bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fWWeRj1eYc

4 years ago

[spare violet]

damn

I only got into it this year

hadnt even know about it in 2024

wish I had

its so different from the reveal

why is it posted by some random channel though

[whole bison]

not part of the main mod, but p5x costumes should come out today, just need to double check mats and stuff bc again this was an old project i hadn't touched in ages

[late socket]

I would assume that costume pack will use costume framework? Similar to the Chinese New Year outfit for Joker mod

[whole bison]

yeah

[vale maple]

Wait What!?!? That's so exciting!!!!

I really can't wait to see it!!!

[whole bison]

Ryuji - Soy
Ann - Closer altho i might add in Okayin or whatever the navi name is bc closers outfit really does not look good on her
Yusuke - Seji
Makoto - Vino
Haru - Moko
Aketchi _ Kii

obvs there's better options for aketchi now but i cba to try getting Doctor to export so

[vale maple]

Ah, so mostly the same to the current mod, what about futaba tho?

Btw what were the other options for each of them?

[whole bison]

wdym

[vale maple]

Like you said there were better options for akechi

Were there for any of the rest as well?

[whole bison]

no

[vale maple]

Ah, ok, so you already said what they were?

[whole bison]

.

[vale maple]

Ah, ok, sorry. I thought there were more, like for Akechi, and Futaba if you have any planned for her.

[whole bison]

nopr

nope*

[vale maple]

I see. Thanks for the clarification, and sorry if I annoy or ask too much.

[whole bison]

oh wait no howler was for futaba sorry

forgot i already had that done

well

for makoto but i can get away w removing the tail for futaba

[vale maple]

Ahhh, ok! So that's who Futaba is!

Just gonna ask, in the future there may be another batch depending on how p5x goes, right?

[whole bison]

no

it's dependent on if we actually get model exporter tools or not

[vale maple]

Ahh, OK so it depends on the exportation issue.

Man, I really hope we resolve it soon enough.

[spare violet]

woah

[spare violet]

Tomiyama

[spare violet]

so you need better tools for dumping the models

[dim mesa]

P much
The current state is .obj files you have to rig manually, auto-rig and fix weights, or weight transfer from other stuff

Unfortunately nobody has expressed interest on remedying it, so we're stuck taking the long route

You can export the asset you need to export (in this case, the animator), but 99% of the time it will export with just the skeleton

[spare violet]

is the rigging not there when ripping open the vpaks and stuff?

[dim mesa]

From what I can tell, models are split between 2-3 bundles iirc. The mesh is split into body, face (face, eyes, eyelid), and hair

[spare violet]

ahhh okay

so the rigging is all done in engine

[dim mesa]

The issue is when you export the animator asset, it isn't exporting the mesh and weights with it

[spare violet]

hmmm

[dim mesa]

The rigging is its own bundle

[spare violet]

ah got it

so 4 bundles total

body, face, hair, rigging?

[whole bison]

sometimes

it's not universal

[spare violet]

I see, that would make it harder to make a tool

[whole bison]

i mean like tbh you might not even need a tool

there's a jank way to export meshes i've found but it rellies on the model having bones needed

[spare violet]

got it

[whole bison]

so if someone who knows unity can lob every single bone into one animator that exports in a single bundle w a mesh that exports we should be able to get every model

[dim mesa]

Yeah
It relies on the weights + armature of Wonder's thief model

So you'll get some mobility, but it isn't perfect

[spare violet]

I work more with godot personally but I do got some unity knowledge from doing vrchat avatars

[spare violet]

lufels model would prob be janked to shit then

[dim mesa]

Definitely

[whole bison]

nope

his one exports

[spare violet]

lmao ofc it does

[dim mesa]

Oh seriously?

[whole bison]

yeah lmao how else would i have him in the mod like day 1

[dim mesa]

I know somebody on another server tried to do that, but I didn't hear back from them

[spare violet]

tried to do vrchat avatars?

[dim mesa]

Nope!

Meshmods

It may be a persona vrchat server, but there are plenty of meshmodders there as well

If you want to try, I have this:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/oaxheob6m9w3oja/Yumi_%2528UPDATED%2529.zip/file

It's Phoebe's irl model
A bunch of her bundles
Includes all components of her model + some animations

But yeah
I find Wonder is good for moving the body, but not so much the clothes. He lacks bones for things like skirts, scarves, etc
Bones for very specific pieces of clothing

Hell, sometimes only some of the armature and weights export instead of all of it
It's really hit or miss

[frosty spoke]

i know im 6 months late, but this script helps me a lot https://github.com/SilentNightSound/GI-Model-Importer/blob/main/Tools/blender_merge_vg.txt

wait no

2 years and 6 months late kleeHAHA

[frosty spoke]

im not sure if 3dm dumps the normals since its cpu posed, but i found that it doesnt

though color attribute does

there seems to be some sort of normal data on the uvmaps too

[dim mesa]

Yeah, another persona tries that with Violet
They were mentioning it may be different if it was gpu-posed instead

[spare violet]

iirc quite a bit is gpu posed

[dim mesa]

If there was some way to force 3dm to be gpu-posed it would probably be possible
I don't want to say it will, since i don't know for sure
Only other options are to cross our fingers and hope that A. A specialty tool for the models gets made or B. Somebody makes a fork of Asset Studio (or alternatively, build upon what Rirurin started with their fork)

[viral karma]

i think these needs to be pinned in case someone would try to replace lavenza

[spare violet]

Honestly I think the best way to go about it, is a custom fork of asset studio that incorporates deaths code to decrypt the files and everything

Since asset studio would already handle the majority of the unity functions no point to really coding a new tool from scratch

I’ll have to take a look at rirurins fork

[whole bison]

tbh i dont think having asset studio decrypt p5x files would uhhh work unless you have a nasa super computer

[spare violet]

Why?

[whole bison]

one bundle loaded into ram would be crazy

[dim mesa]

I know Rirurin made that one fork
But the biggest issue is that if a new fork was made, who would make it or who could we commission to make a fork?

[whole bison]

asset studio loads all data into ram iirc

[spare violet]

I decrypted all of them at once and had no problem

My ram usage was a bit high but eh

[whole bison]

nono no dycripting is fine im on about having asset studio handle that and then load all the bundles from the vfilecontent lmao

[spare violet]

We also don’t have a way to repack them

[whole bison]

yeah no ones touched the file system outside of dc

[dim mesa]

Unfortunately

[spare violet]

I could probably look into it

[whole bison]

i wonder if there's a way to do it without repacking and just reencrypting outerbundle stuff but idk how unity works so i doubt it'd be that easy

[dim mesa]

We need somebody who knows what they're doing to make any sort of progress

[spare violet]

iirc I think there is

Slime ranchers mods do it

Can edit the assetbundles at runtime

and lop new files into it

Though that extra encryption could cause issues

[dim mesa]

And unfortunately, people who do know what they're doing have no interest in touching p5x :((

[spare violet]

I mean I do 😂

I’ve always been working on texture replacements for the Asia servers

To get global en textures

[dim mesa]

Bro I just met you, how am I supposed to know 😭

[spare violet]

And I work with harvey on the translate tool

[spare violet]

I mean I’m clearly showing interest in working on a tool so Morty doesn’t go insane 🤣🤣🤣

[dim mesa]

I just mean that i haven't seen you around, so how am i supposed to know that you're qualified
I don't see you around, so i don't know jack shit about you lol

[spare violet]

Ohh okay

[late socket]

The same tool that translates the Taiwanese version of P5X?

[spare violet]

Yea

[late socket]

Ohhh

[spare violet]

I’m porting global dialogues for chapter 1 and 2 rn

I port the localization and he translates

[late socket]

Ohh ok ok

[spare violet]

Bc I don’t speak Chinese lol

[dim mesa]

Wouldn't we need someone with a good amount of coding knowledge to make a fork tho

[spare violet]

I’m a programmer and game dev lol

[dim mesa]

Okay, okay 😂

[late socket]

You got C++ coding experience?

[spare violet]

yea

God I hate memory management though

[dim mesa]

I want ||Akashi's|| model

[spare violet]

And tbh I want a tool to exist bc I’m interested in dumping the assets and modding P5X

someone has made a few mods for P5X

Like Kasumi miku

[dim mesa]

Willywomby did an audio swap, but that's absurdly easy

No bundle edit required

Replaced a battle theme with Counterstrike

[spare violet]

The Kasumi miku is texture swapping with 3dmigoto genshin fork

[late socket]

Like audio and re-texture mods?

Maybe model swaps?

[spare violet]

That’s also what I’m using for the texture replacement

I just want the hud elements in English 🤣

[spare violet]

I’d love to make that possible

Though that one might be hard bc integrity checks

They check the bundles against the server to make sure they haven’t been edited

[late socket]

And if those bundles get edited, that lead to that person disconnected from the server?

[dim mesa]

Wouldn't it not be set off as long as they're named the same?
Oh wait but they may check for bundle size

[spare violet]

Checksum

[dim mesa]

Probably a ban
Live service games do not like stuff being messed with
Even tho P5X has no anti-cheat, it's hard to say what could happen

[spare violet]

To make sure it’s the exact same file

[spare violet]

Yes most likely a ban

[late socket]

Ohhh

[spare violet]

That’s why nobody wants to risk trying either

We just know theres an integrity check so it’s probably not worth the effort

[dim mesa]

So yeah putting external models is a no-go
You can maybe pull what genshin does where you swap model pieces

The models are split by face (+ eyes and eye shadows), hair, and body

[whole bison]

and low detail and shadow models too

[dim mesa]

I haven't messed with those, so I didn't know that
But it makes sense

[dim mesa]

If you do start or make one, make sure to make a thread or something so we can follow the progress

[spare violet]

Oh yea I’d def want to

[dim mesa]

I await the thread then

[spare violet]

there we go

[whole bison]

[dim mesa]

Glitch gonna be making history like DC

[spare violet]

I’ll need a bit of time to go through the repo and read all the code but ye

[vale maple]

Ooh yess.... YESSSSS!!!!

DO IT!!!!!

STRIKE OIL FOR US

[vale maple]

and me too I'm literally gonna kill myself without the mod and models 🙃

[pliant creek]

Has there been work on porting the P5 casts signature weapons from P5X over their best ones?

[whole bison]

not by me but iirc someone was working on something like that

[frosty spoke]

thats using melon

or atelast thats what i think you're referring to

which is

beyond silly visual modding and more changing how the game works entirely lol

basically you can inject custom code at runtime, and before migoto people would use it to swap models

now its basically dead since its basically insta ban

[spare violet]

migoto actually works on this game perfectly btw

Ive been using for texture replacements in P5X

[dim mesa]

And, well, p5x doesn't have an anti-cheat

[frosty spoke]

not for models

[vale maple]

Any news or updates on your fork or looking at the code?

[spare violet]

Not yet been very busy irl

[vale maple]

Ah, I see.

I'm really looking forward to it!

Like I said before, STRIKE OIL FOR US!!!

But of course, take your time as well, no rush.

[whole bison]

the only thing shittier than the rigging here is the camera

[vale maple]

You're exporting Messa!?!?!?

[dim mesa]

If I had to guess, probably used his MMD model

[whole bison]

he has an mmd one ?

could you lob

[dim mesa]

I mean...i believe those mmd models go up to Runa (the furry)

Although only wonder and runa actually have their irl models

[whole bison]

not the ones i have

[dim mesa]

Huh
Interesting

https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1244CetEkw

Maybe this person has a model distribution vid

[whole bison]

in only really need his thief model

[dim mesa]

This person has vids showing their own rigged thief model

It's about finding the model distribution video

I saw one a distribution vid for Katayama (the thief model), but in the pinned comment they said it was on some site that the app or browser translated as 'Mod House'

EDIT: they meant aplaybox, duh

Wait i just found it (blitz)

But I don't see Messa....
Perhaps someone can ask them about it?

[vale maple]

I'm still in contact with them I think

I'll ask them about it then.

From what I remember about my talks with them

Some of their models are for private use only

But I'll still ask them.

[vale maple]

Yeah, they said that some of his friends dont want him to post public and that he uses some models privately

I think I'll still ask him, though.

[dim mesa]

you could say that it'll be used for a really cool mod that puts P5X characters in P5R
or not

sometimes the thought of your work being in a mod is enticing
sometimes not

you can explain the dilemma, too

[vale maple]

i said that, it will be for a p5 mod

And I already explained that we couldnt find a proper way for exportation

[dim mesa]

you should specify what it is exactly
The mod, that is

[vale maple]

Sadly, he does not want us to use it...

[vale maple]

Could I say that Mortyyy already rigged his face?

And that we just need the body?

I'll try that, then.

[late socket]

You could but I don’t see that guy budging anytime soon

And I can’t read the text in that screenshot

[dim mesa]

Google translate

[vale maple]

Unsuccessful, he does not want to share it at all.

That's really a shame...

I was getting so ready to lob the model over to Mortyyyy

[late socket]

Well, at least you asked that guy kindly.

All hope shouldn’t be loss theoretically. Messa is coming to P5X global very soon. Likely as soon as Summer Closer’s banner end. Once Messa banner’s open up, maybe someone can extract his character model from the global version?

[dim mesa]

Bro his model was available for extraction since day one in global 😂

You just have to open up the game's bundles in assetstudio and look up the word 'doctor'

The game has all the assets up to version 3.0
Gui, models, text, etc

[late socket]

On god? For real? I guess that explains why some updates tend to be relatively small

[late socket]

Judging by the amount of character models there. I'm assuming you plan on replacing some of the confidant characters? Like Merope replacing the Fortune Teller or Vino replacing Ohya?

[whole bison]

merope over lavenza, kii over mishima, the bar lady over ohya etc

but again im not really working on this mod atm bc of how cbt it is for models and i do not have the time to rig, fix textures, port animations, and do bustups for every single new character

[late socket]

ohhh

[vale maple]

I don't think it makes a difference though.

His model has always been available for extraction long since he was added in cn

And for global, I think it's the same extraction method with no weights.

[dim mesa]

what I was saying is that the model is there, not that it would extract correctly

[whole bison]

got very lazy w this aoa but i'll probably redo the model for the full mod this is just a costume one

[whole bison]

https://gamebanana.com/mods/627167

[whole bison]

gonna write down the models im gonna grab so i remember

• Akechi - for p5x p5 outfits
• Sumi - for p5x p5 outfits
• Makoto - for p5x p5 outfits
• Yusuke - for p5x p5 outfits
• Haru - for p5x p5 outfits
• Ryuji - for p5x p5 outfits

---

• Cherish - for p3mc mod
• Puppet - for p5x costumes going over futaba
• Berry - for p5x costumes going over haru
• Wonder swimwear - for WoJ
• Soy swimwear - for SoR
• Mont Figure Skater - for p5x costumes going over sumi

[vale maple]

LET'S FUUKING GOOOOOOOOO WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!!

[upper sable]

Impressive

[dim mesa]

Berry over Haru? That's an interesting choice

[vale maple]

Really? I think it's fitting.

[dim mesa]

Why would Masaki be in the the p3mc over joker mod specifically?

[whole bison]

blue hair

[dim mesa]

How?

[whole bison]

that's it lmao

[vale maple]

Why not over Yusuke?

[dim mesa]

As far as I can tell, they're very different

[vale maple]

Think it's better if they all go over normal p5 chars

[dim mesa]

That's reserved for my goat Seiji....

[dim mesa]

Personality wise

[dim mesa]

There's only so many party members and like...20 something phantom idols

[whole bison]

and plus p3 characters already have p5 outfits

[vale maple]

Didn't I say before?

Multiple of them can go over one party member

[dim mesa]

Isn't that asking a bit much of Morty, Alexandra?

[whole bison]

oooo i fw this heavy

[upper sable]

Now he’s a crow

[late socket]

Close*

He just need to dye his hair

[dim mesa]

oh damn that's sick looking

[rich eagle]

obsessed...

[upper sable]

Reminds me of Star ocean

[verbal sierra]

more costume material 🙏 🙏 🙏

[dim mesa]

it's a good think Sumi has that one model
You can put this outfit on her, unless you straight up just spliced Sumi's head onto Mont

[verbal sierra]

which model?

the awakening one?

[whole bison]

:P

and you can't really bc the skin and outfit are like the same part of the uv so it'd be a pain to split up

[verbal sierra]

yeah head splice looks good enough anyway

[dim mesa]

true...

the figure skater outfit looks really good with the (actual) kasumi one

[vale maple]

OOHHHH WE ARE EATING SOOO GOOD

I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE

ESPECIALLY WITH NEWER CHARACTERSSSS

[upper sable]

Niiiiice

[dim mesa]

if he decides to put them in

just remember that

you shouldn't expect Morty to put every single character, old and latest, into P5R
It's a lot of work, even with the process now becoming easier
he's doing this all for free after all

if you want more characters in, you can always commission him

[whole bison]

that is v v true

[vale maple]

Yeah, I know.

Sorry if i sounded wanting too much, Im not expecting EVERY character to make it in.

OH MY GOD IT SEVEN WORSE BCS GB MADE ALL THE LINKS GREEN WHY

[whole bison]

LMFAO

[whole bison]

im going to attempt something silly

[dim mesa]

Do i wanna know? Lmao

[whole bison]

im gonna try just loading all the role and part bundles into unity

[dim mesa]

Gotta admit, mad respect for narrowing all the roles and part bundles

How hard or easy was it

[whole bison]

oh i probably should've gotten rid of all the persona stuff

[whole bison]

files explorer search

[dim mesa]

I'm sure this will save me time when loading shit into assetstudio
Also
What about roletiny for stuff like ||Akashi's jetpack||

[whole bison]

i just ignored those

i don't really need them

[dim mesa]

Forgive me it is like 5 in the morning here lmao

[whole bison]

also something i realised about the part bundles

for the phantom idols the last two letters of their code names are in the bundle name

[dim mesa]

Inreresting
I assume in the second half of the file name after role and part

[whole bison]

yeah

[dim mesa]

And it's just the phantom idols? 🤔 Not the palace rulers and (important) npcs?

[whole bison]

oh

[upper sable]

Holy!

[whole bison]

it only just loaded into unity lmao

[whole bison]

just incase anyone wants them

[verbal sierra]

it'd be cool if someone was able to port the censored p5x personas to p5r

[minor plaza]

iirc someone did that way earlier into the games lifespan

https://gamebanana.com/mods/504847

[verbal sierra]

awesome ty

[minor plaza]

honestly though this ose from less nudity goes hard

[late socket]

Ye

[late socket]

I'm guessing I need the updated version of unity to load that file?

[whole bison]

nope

i exported them all as fbx's

so you can just lob into blender

they are ascii tho so you'll need better fbx i haven't tried noesising them

[whole bison]

oh huh so they really did change everyones face

[upper sable]

Glue

[late socket]

Ohh

[whole bison]

if someone could grab the updated textures for the p5 thieves that would be greatly appreciated :3

[dim mesa]

Jfc
And these are all...rigged?

[whole bison]

yep

no textures tho

[dim mesa]

Gimme a bit
I have Taiwan dumped so I should be able to find them

[whole bison]

okay ty bc i have the cbt1 ones dumped and ofc they had to change the models

[dim mesa]

Sad face tho
No palace rulers (you know why...)
I wanted a certain someone's shadow to save me the headache

[whole bison]

i could probably grab it

p sure it was in the bundles i loaded

[dim mesa]

I have the bundles if you need

Ssve you some time

[whole bison]

nah it's fine im 90% sure i have all the characters somewhere in the 50gbs

[dim mesa]

Keyword: somewhere

It's just to save you time

[whole bison]

who do you want ?

bc

[dim mesa]

I don't i need to say because you know my fav man

[dim mesa]

GIMME GIMME

Please

almost forgot my manners for a second

[dim mesa]

I remember viewing his exported animator in my taiwan dump
He had bones for the || stupid shit coming out of his jetpack||

[whole bison]

oh mb i do not think i have his body for some reason

[dim mesa]

RIP
Like i said tho, i have his bundles
Have you had luck with the shapekeys?
When I exported Katayama and him yesterday, they disn't port with any
But Ercar managed to port them with the shapekeys

[whole bison]

oh nvm i think it's his animator im missing

yeah

i got ryuji w shape keys which was unfortunate

[minor plaza]

Could be since I did old model Idk for sure though. Haven't checked my latest cn dump except for yumi (who did not have shape keys)

[whole bison]

i lied

[dim mesa]

But back on topic
I'm working on PT textures now

CENSOR THAT MORTY

[dim mesa]

moving this to export chat since we're getting off topic

i'm just gonna toss in all the outfit and weapon textures into the folder (sorted by character) because I'm a lazy bean
leaving out the lodlow textures ofc

[whole bison]

yeah, i mainly need the bc, pk, normal, shadows, and if there's a glow/mask textures too

oh and speculars for hair

and the _f face shadow

[dim mesa]

idk why but _f shadow always seems to not show up in search results
but it's easy to find them

[dim mesa]

damn, these hair texture suck ass

[whole bison]

wdym

[dim mesa]

they're still like katayama's old ones - ugly looking gradient where to get shadows you need to apply the shadow map

the shadows aren't in the diffuse, from what I can see? or maybe it's only some of them

https://www.mediafire.com/file/4ugoz0t5mtxk17r/PT+textures.zip/file

[whole bison]

tyty i’ll download in a sec the kitten is having her zoomies

[dim mesa]

el gato(s) and the zoomies
my cat likes to try and chew cords at night and early morning (like, 3-4 in the morning) to get my attention

[frosty spoke]

i have ryujis rigged from cbt 2 if you want it

the uvmap is a bit different iirc, but the weights are 100% usable

[dim mesa]

iirc, cbt 3 is when a lot of character's textures were updated

[whole bison]

got fox, ann, makoto, and haru done, just need to bake the face normals for them all except fox, i think the release will be as follows for the outfit mods

Next release

• Makoto P5X - Makoto Vino
• Haru P5X - Haru Kotomo

Follow up

• Ryuji P5X - Ryuji Soy
• Ann P5X - Ann uhhhh i forgot her name but that one navi that's old

And then finally

• Fox P5X - Fox Seji
• Futaba P5X - Futaba Puppet

[dim mesa]

Okyann?

[whole bison]

yeah that one

[dim mesa]

aka the milf that every dude seems to want to bone

[verbal sierra]

men moment

[dim mesa]

it's always her, istg

in past attempts of people trying to export with rigging, she's always been the one they're trying to port 💀

[verbal sierra]

at least they're not gooning to a minor I guess

[dim mesa]

true....

[verbal sierra]

moral of the story is let's delete men

[vale maple]

Kinda agree with that ngl

[vale maple]

Forgive me if asking this may seem ungrateful, but since we have proper exportation now, is it possible that you will do a second batch with different character costumes in the future?

I'm just so excited about the new characters and the main story ones especially.

[frosty spoke]

by bake face normals do you mean like

applying this texture to be custom normals

[frosty spoke]

WAIT we can export models now??

[whole bison]

no

[whole bison]

yeah p much

[dim mesa]

Sort of? We can export them, yes, but it's not perfect. Sometimes exports can be missing some bones, a bone will be there but no weights are there, or some bones are misaligned

And in some cases a weight issue or two

[frosty spoke]

how do you do it? is it through geometry nodes or something

[frosty spoke]

i ser

see

[dim mesa]

I've been saying this should be considered the infancy stage of exporting

[vagrant saffron]

Hello Mortyyy, you did a mod to have P3 protagonist??

[whole bison]

https://discord.com/channels/746211612981198989/1416082363477131446

[frosty spoke]

i didnt realize this was literally just his p5r outfit retextured

[dim mesa]

The early one, yeah

At some point they re-did the models from scratch

[whole bison]

hoping i can get the Makoto Haru pack out tn if everything goes smoothly and the kitten isn’t being too much of a menace

[dim mesa]

Have you posted it on Divine Justice?

[whole bison]

huh

on what

[dim mesa]

you called your kitten a menace

so i made a lil joke

[whole bison]

ohhhhhh

she is

[dim mesa]

i put 'it' because i don't know the gender of your cat

[leaden frigate]

She’s just chilling Morty

[late socket]

Meow

[rustic sorrel]

What is this project?

[whole bison]

porting p5x characters to p5x

p5r*

[rustic sorrel]

Model swaps or more intensive work?

[dim mesa]

model swaps

[whole bison]

more intensive

[vale maple]

That and occasionally using their outfits on normal chars as well

Along other things like anims

[whole bison]

it’s gonna be ui, personas skills and other stuff too

[dim mesa]

didn't know you were porting ui too

[whole bison]

yeah

.

[rustic sorrel]

Porting ui?

[whole bison]

things like character bust ups, cut ins, confidant icons, battle sprites AoA’s stuff like that

[rustic sorrel]

If only u could port the story 😭

But thats a gargantuan task

[verbal sierra]

just play p5x atp 😭

[dim mesa]

p sure it's just the gacha mechanic

[molten apex]

Why not just play p5x then?

[rustic sorrel]

P5x sucks

[molten apex]

fair enough

[vale maple]

Get out of this thread, both of you. (/s)

[whole bison]

uhhhhhhh

no

they should not

someone doesn't need to love p5x just to talk here lmao, it's about a mod for persona 5 royal at the end of the day

[late socket]

Yeaaa

Anyways, can’t wait for Iwai to to be replaced with…Iwai but his character model from P5X

[whole bison]

i had that done a while back actually

but im p sure i lost the model

[late socket]

O o f

[whole bison]

sorry to bring it back to this but genuinely people that don't like p5x being here is kinda a good thing, if anything their feedback in terms of how things look is 10x better than someone who glazes anything p5x related because they're basically gonna like anything i do by default, so if people who don't like p5x see the work done here and like it that means a lot more if that makes sense

anyways found this earlier guess i ported arsene at some point a while back, sadly no iwai tho

it does however have the masks for the PT's so that's gonna save me a lot of time bc i didn't export them w the models

so Makoto Haru can defo be done tmr by that i mean when i wake up it's 3 am

[molten apex]

I will be gladly play it when it releases since im taking a break from persona 5 same with your other mod 🤗

[rustic sorrel]

/j?

[frosty spoke]

i dont even play p5 or p5x reguarly im literally only here for the models

[frosty spoke]

i think iwai actually exports fine, i know takemi does

[warm hull]

most npcs export without any issue because they don't use the fashion system that main story chars use.

[dim mesa]

Rush Hit-and-Run Ride exports, as an example

[whole bison]

i have no clue what stopped the physics from freaking out this time but oh im not complaining

[upper sable]

She looks good

[dim mesa]

Woof woof ru!

[wary cloak]

OMG THIS IS PEAK

is there any chance you could do chord over haru so chord x howler showtime could be real

[naive stag]

This is very wonderful to look at, thank you for sharing this ❤️‍🩹

[upper sable]

Goodness

[whole bison]

sad time to reexport the haru outfit

[late socket]

I guess that’s why Haru’s fit looks like it’s textures are flickering

[dim mesa]

I guess you know what to set some money aside for....

[wary cloak]

true, im brokie rn 💔🥀

Someone i know is gonna LOVE this

[whole bison]

might do something silly i kinda wanna break from character model stuff

[dim mesa]

oho, morty found a map

[whole bison]

yeah idk what was up w the battle field that shit was like mega cursed

[dim mesa]

if you ever find something in common between maps, let me know

[whole bison]

i mean they do share names but by the bundles i cannot tell

[dim mesa]

not so much bundle names, but more so what they're called asset wise

when they're viewed in assetstudio or other viewers

[whole bison]

you sadly cannot view the full scenes in asset studio

only meshes

unless i missed somin
