WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE 2 - THE ARMORY PACK

[white pecan]

It's finally here! The Space Marine 2 armory pack! For all your marine creation needs! This armor pack contains every piece of armor from every class in the game, plus all the shared pieces/champion parts. A number of duplicate armor options have been removed, where needed.

This pack uses the 2k version of the textures. 4k textures are overkill.

Anything cloth does not have bones for posing; It instead relies on cloth simulation. Hit play and any cloth bits should fall into place. For better results, enable the cloth detection meshes under the rig collection.

Of course, everything in this pack comes from Space Marine 2, which was developed by the amazing team at Saber Interactive

The rig used in this pack was created by myself, and everything was sorted by myself, as well as setup by myself. The shader was mostly made by myself with some minor assistance from Violet here and there.

[edgy scaffold]

What texture quality does this pack use? 2k?

[white pecan]

2k, 4k is way too extreme

[edgy scaffold]

Gotchya

[open pike]

4k and this would make anyone's PC a bomb.

[thorny forge]

Praise be to ye! Thou hast done thy Emperor's work!

[royal ember]

You sir, are a legend.

[woeful violet]

are the space sharks in this ?

[white pecan]

yes, it includes literally everything on the loyalist constructors as of patch 12

[frank wren]

Man, is 50GB the size of the assets being ripped from the game, or after all the work you did to set it up for Blender?

[white pecan]

99% from just the game assets, the blend file is only like, 400mb somehow

[frank wren]

Yeash no wonder the game's 80GB lmao

No surprise, of course, considering that's just how it had to be set up for customization

[white pecan]

the game mustve been compressed to hell and back, my space marine 2 rips folder is like 200 gigs right now

YESSSSS

THANK YOU EVAC, MY LIFE IS YOURS

[tough pecan]

Evac being the goat once again

[remote prairie]

Greatest Space marine pack to ever exist

doesnt use normal game rig

https://giphy.com/gifs/emoji-dead-idk-dt7FtL4RHIQs0XEoL0

[white pecan]

why the hell would you want the normal game rig that thing is so unusable

[remote prairie]

im just a base game rig supremacist for assets in general lmao

[white pecan]

i mean i can probably grab all the base game rigs for you but its like

7 separate rigs for each class

[remote prairie]

nah i'll use this. im mainly just memeing

[white pecan]

alr lol

[still forum]

What Blender version is this for if you don't mind me asking?

[white pecan]

5.0.1

i always work with the newest version

[still forum]

Fair. I use 4.5.7, and I know 5.0 versions aren't backwards compatible, so that's why I was wondering

[tough pecan]

:D

im about to make a myown chapter :3

[white pecan]

Hell yeah

[tough pecan]

the armory is stull unpacking ToT

[proper fjord]

Absolutely goated, Evac

[thorny forge]

question, is there the Titus mk8 armour in this pack?

there seems to be some parts of it but i couldn't find some of the other parts, torso legs etc

[white pecan]

no, it only includes everything on the
multiplayer models

but i can make a separate post for that in the future

[thorny forge]

oh, fair enough i suppose

maybe fold it into that pack of firstborn armours you're gonna do at some point?

[neat patrol]

pls all the other mk8 titus are down

[edgy scaffold]

I wonder how easy it'd be to give that Mk 8 armor the textures needed to recolor it

Or however SM2 recoloring works

[placid plinth]

[grizzled knot]

Does it have the chaos armors too?

[eternal mirage]

Slay girl

[white pecan]

Patch #001 - Armory Pack

• Fixed shading issue with Bulwark's Cuirasse Cloth

Download the updated blend file here
Simply replace your current SM2 Armor Pack blend file with this new one

[edgy scaffold]

NOOO I JUST FINISHED DOWNLOADING THE ORIGINAL :(

[spice steeple]

No they said Blend file

That's the small one

[white pecan]

dw you dont have to completely redownload the zip

[edgy scaffold]

Oh ok

[white pecan]

you only need to download the blend file

then just replace your current blend file with the new one

any updates regarding the textures will be their own zip file so you're not downloading the same entire 16gb zip file

[edgy scaffold]

Which file am I downloading? The Isolated?

[white pecan]

ye

isolated/updated blend file

[edgy scaffold]

Sweet

[grizzled knot]

Does it have the chaos stuff btw

sorry to bug

[white pecan]

nah, but i do have an old pack of chaos armors somewhere in the forum

but i intend on remaking that

#1382944525928108122

feel free to use it, though its rig and shader is out of date

general list of things i intend on setting up and posting:

coming very soon, probably:

• mark 8
• chaos astartes pack 2.0

in progress but gonna be awhile:

• complete tyranids pack

planning:

• thousand sons pack

[eternal mirage]

Damn, adding a thousand sons to the pack

[spice steeple]

[spice steeple]

Am i just dumb or can i not find the Blood Angels Sigil for the left or right pauldrons?

[white pecan]

sigil?

[spice steeple]

The logo

for the chapter

[white pecan]

like, the decal texture?

[spice steeple]

yeah for the pauldrons

[white pecan]

weird

the decal names are a mess so i mightve missed it

gimme a second

oh yeah i remember now

some of them are "shldr" instead of lpd

alright yeah just one second and ill upload an updated decals zip

[spice steeple]

Thank you so much 😭

There seems to be missing knee decals too

nvm

im an idiot

the knees are all there

[white pecan]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EEmI4wz24l4YR_-lAJ1RDUPux-pD_HR4/view?usp=drive_link

[spice steeple]

thank you so much man

[proper radish]

This is beautiful

I only wish I had the space for this, it's amazing. I might need to prune a bunch of files

[grizzled knot]

Appreciate you

[edgy scaffold]

I must now go through the effort of making an Iron Snakes shoulder decal

Wish me luck chat

[edgy pecan]

the base rig is awful lol

[edgy scaffold]

If anyone else wants to use the Iron Snakes, here is a custom texture I made, just follow Evac's instructions on how to use shoulder textures

[tranquil agate]

Will you be doing a dreadnaught? Unless I’m blind I can’t find one

[white pecan]

i can do a setup for that eventually sure

[tranquil agate]

Your pack is also awesome!

[white pecan]

i can also spice it up extra considering theres a model of the dreadnought plasma cannon in the game

[tranquil agate]

That’s sick

[white pecan]

you can see it just barely here

[tranquil agate]

Be some cool renders of a dread destroying mfs

That’s a big ahh gun

[edgy pecan]

and so on and so on Evac

it never ends lmfao

[white pecan]

yeah

[flint egret]

not sure if it just me but when i open the blend the textures aren't attach to it, im having to find missing file the texture

[ember phoenix]

yea same but you attach them, save and is ok

[eternal mirage]

I think its meant to be like that

[white pecan]

lemme try somethin

go ahead and try redownloading the updated blend file now

make sure to place it in a folder with the SM2 Megapack Textures folder

see if it picks up the textures automatically then

@flint egret lmk if the updated blend file works correctly or not

[ember phoenix]

yea it works at least for me

[gentle basin]

me trying find the texture

[white pecan]

updated the blend file again to pack a specific texture, and add a section to the readme about missing textures

[gentle basin]

I was looking at the updated file

[white pecan]

oh no i literally did just update it again lol

[flint egret]

update blend worked ty!

[gentle basin]

which one should I downloaded there two armoury packs

[white pecan]

anyways do you have the textures downloaded too? make sure the blend file is in the same folder as the megapack textures folder (not IN the megapack textures folder though)

[gentle basin]

the 15gb one?

[white pecan]

both. the full-pack contains all the textures, and the blend file has a bunch of updates. you just need to replace the blend file in the full-pack zip with the updated blend file

[white pecan]

ye

[ember phoenix]

like this for example

[gentle basin]

I dont see the megapack one unless it in the armoury full file

[ember phoenix]

this is what the rar has inside

except the mark 8 that one is not in the archive

[white pecan]

its in the zip of the full file

[gentle basin]

shiiiiiiitttttt

Im gonna to have to sacrifice several goats for this, hold one

[lusty isle]

Didn't see the salamanders one in their either, a few that looked like it though

[white pecan]

should be in the updated decals zip

didja download that or

[ember phoenix]

and you drop the updated decals zip in the main texture file?

[lusty isle]

I'm downloading the new one right now.

[rotund dune]

Are the Champions in this as well? Or should I also download the year 2 champion pack?

[white pecan]

since theyve added champion armor parts to the customization theres a large amount of parts from them in there

but not the entire champions, so you're better off downloading the year2 champion pack if you want the full champion

[scenic hazel]

now evac needs to post the darktide assets..

[white pecan]

GOD i fucking wish

if a ripping tool for that game

EVER

comes out

there will be SO many posts

i NEED the models from that game but fuuuuck im not using ninjaripper dude

[flint egret]

@white pecan sorry for the ping but do you plan on doing any more space marine stuff??

[white pecan]

yeh

plenty more

[flint egret]

any chance we will see the thunderhawk??

[white pecan]

probably in a vehicles pack

[flint egret]

LETS GOOOOO

[rotund dune]

Redemptor..?

[flint egret]

still need to work on it but i did this last night still trying to figure out how ima do interiors haha

[lusty isle]

I take lots of pictures in game with photo mode. Makes a quick pull up

[lusty isle]

Hopefully we're able to custom color, cause I don't think we can with the vehicles out already.

[pastel monolith]

Gorgeous, please share when you figure out how to do it

[glass mirage]

@white pecan weird question, don;t suppose you know of anywhere where i can find the hex values for the colours used in teh games armour customisation, so i can colour match to my Astartes in game

[white pecan]

you can open this up as a text file and theres all the ingame armor colors as 0-255 color values

[glass mirage]

perfect, thanks 🙂

[white pecan]

notepad++ works best because you can set it to read it as a c# script and you'll be able to look around much easier

example of using the values, using macragge blue

[glass mirage]

splendid

[glass mirage]

how does one do the armour patterns, such as the 2 tones helmets,

[white pecan]

theres a big ass readme in the corner, which tells you how to do stuff like that

just scroll until you find the correct section

[glass mirage]

i am blind it seems, ill relook, thanks

[lime pond]

the Space Marine is that many errors tall

[white pecan]

did you download the full pack and the updated blend file, or just the updated blend file?

[lime pond]

I will be I was simply just testing something

[white pecan]

ah lol

[lime pond]

and by the way throughout this conversation I forgot to close the blend file and the errors are still going how many images are there

[remote prairie]

damn. finding missing files really do crash your blender lol

[rustic pasture]

Is the techmarine's shoulder gun in this pack or is it in the weapon pack? I can't find it

[white pecan]

you can find the shoulder guns in the weapons pack

under the equipment section, iirc

[glass mirage]

Pack works well

[remote prairie]

i love me the purple / gold templar. very simple

[edgy scaffold]

@white pecan Are the glass parts supposed to look like this in the material view? (and have all these nodes not plugged into the output)

Seems like the glass doesn't work in the eevee rendered viewport rip

[white pecan]

yeah, unfortunately the glass node doesnt work in eevee

just gotta hide em or delete em if you're using eevee

[edgy scaffold]

My workaround for now is just to grab the lenses off the Mark VII helmet since those don't use the glass

Works fine

Just using the normal lenses looks weird as hell since they're meant to have the glass

[frail frost]

thats what im looking for like is it just hitching really hard

[lusty isle]

Was building my heavy and came across this, got a good little chuckle out of me. xD

[safe pasture]

Now the question is. How to make these look like first borns

[edgy scaffold]

There's a deathwatch pack with recolorable textures uploaded a few days after this one

That has Mark 8 and it's very easy to kitbash a mark 7 from that

[safe pasture]

I wanted to get a Mark III out of the Chaos pack

but the texture is all grimey and bloody

[edgy scaffold]

That's what I did

[edgy scaffold]

Evac posted that there was a bunch of Mark 2-6 models that they had gotten permission to upload but I don't think evac's uploaded them yet

[safe pasture]

i'll have to try when i have time to get a mark 7 out of it.

[edgy scaffold]

From a mod

[safe pasture]

If it has Terminators

my life is yours

[white pecan]

its a bunch of armor sets ive made which ive just recently gotten permission to upload

but i need to finish up the backpacks first

[edgy scaffold]

Gotchya

[safe pasture]

Praise be to Evac

[edgy scaffold]

I eagerly await the Mark 2 to be uploaded that's my favorite armor ever

[safe pasture]

the messenger of the Emperor himself

i await mark 3 and 6 myself

my favorite looks

Mark 3 is just so good looking

the Iron Warrior one for SM2 looks very nice but i dont have a clean texture version of it

[white pecan]

if you're looking for indomi terminator, you'll have to message grumpystranger on the sm2 modding discord about that

i handle sending the model to people but unfortunately i dont quite have permission to just give it to anyone

as for cataphractii or tartaros models, they'll be available whenever the sm2 horus heresy mod is out

[safe pasture]

i see, i see

i'll try contacting them

i'm so happy that SM2 has an active community because that means there are finally publically available models

but yeah, i wait eagerly for the first born stuffs

[wise juniper]

Before I use up a large chunk or my pcs storage, are there carcharodon assets included in here, or would that be in a different post?

[white pecan]

the carcharodon armor parts are in here

it includes everything as of patch 12

[wise juniper]

Ok awesome

Thanks!

[wise juniper]

so, i appended all of the carcharodon collections and they looked like this in blender. Did i download the wrong blend file or something? or is there a base model for the lower body that i need to import as well?

[white pecan]

did you download just the blend file or both the blend file and the full pack

[wise juniper]

i downloaded the 16gb one with this inside the zip

[white pecan]

just hit... iirc, it should be
File > External Data > Find Missing Textures

then just select the textures folder

itll probably take a smidge time but then it should work

[wise juniper]

oh ok awesome

it worked

now about the rest of the body, is there a base model that is the default lower body with the upper body being the carcharodon stuff?

[white pecan]

the blend file is setup to make customization within it easier, everything is separate by type

[wise juniper]

huh

yeah im figuring that out now

[white pecan]

base model, helmets, torso, backpack, etc

all the way

[wise juniper]

like, BBAT is the belt stuff

right?

[white pecan]

theres alot of different abbreviations its kind of hard to remember even for me

but i think BBA is belt base?

BBAT is tacticus belt bases

which fit on any tacticus body (tactical, assault, bulwark)

[wise juniper]

ohhh i see

so the only available carcharodon stuff is the upper body cosmetics?

sorry if i seem kinda clueless this is for a vrc commission but i've never played any warhammer before :/

[white pecan]

unfortunately there is only upper body carcharodon cosmetics, any other part you'll have to come up with a replacement piece or kitbash one yourself

[wise juniper]

ok good to know

ill see if i can get this figured out and everything tomorrow

thanks for the help!

[wise juniper]

hi again, sorry for bothering, but i was looking at the carcharodon dlc on steam and noticed that the right shoulder pad decal in the blend file is different than what was shown in the dlc's pictures? is there a texture i'm missing or something?

[white pecan]

the decal can be changed to anything, you just gotta go into the shading tab, select the decal, then change the texture it uses. the pack includes a whole bunch of decals from yhe game

[wise juniper]

i checked the shoulder decals folder and the shader, and i cant seem to find the the shark decal. Would you be able to send the tga file here?

[wise juniper]

ohhh okay thanks

dont know how i didnt see that :/

[wise juniper]

how would i go about baking the textures to be put in unity? i tried the 2 methods that i knew and they didn't work so any help with that would be appreciated. I changed some colors and stuff so I need those different colors baked

[white pecan]

theres a number of bake outputs in the shader, just plug whichever one you need to bake into material output surface, then bake as combined. if you're baking the normals, though you probably wont need to, you'll want to plug BSDF into surface and then bake with the normals option

_a is for if it should be recolorable with the _cc texture, base color is if you want the colors baked in

[wise juniper]

huh, i could have sworn i tried that but let me check again

it just bakes into nothing?

my settings also

oh wait

lemme just turn on diffuse

[white pecan]

its probably something to do with the UVs, the sm2 UV maps are usually kinda messy

you'll have to edit all the UVs to fit into the square, just select a bunch and move them by values of 1 on either the x or y axis

[wise juniper]

oh yeah u might be right

so the baking didn't work just by baking the diffuse, so i did it by putting the bakes through an emission shader and then the emission into the material output, and baking with emission, and that worked fine
the normals worked by just baking the normal type though

but i got it working at least

[brave oyster]

Does this have a IK rig?

[lusty isle]

Yes.

[mild badge]

how did you manage to pack 55gb into a 16gb zip

[rotund dune]

Tzeentch

[mild badge]

I guess, man

[mild badge]

I am out here fighting for my life with the HDD I stuffed this onto. I cannot get the textures to apply. I waited three hours for them to apply. Twice. Nothing. I don't have space to put it on my actual drive. Help.

[icy void]

I was hoping someone could help me? im trying to make an avatar for vrchat with the armour and some textures have no colour like meaturus's chest piece, am i missing a texture or can i be shown how to change it?

[white pecan]

alot of newer pieces lack an ultramarines base texture so you'll have to color it blue & gold and bake it in blender

[icy void]

can you explain to me how? im sorry im still a noob at texturing

[white pecan]

for baking, heres a tutorial

for recoloring the armor, theres a big text file in the blend file that goes through alot of things including recoloring armor

the shader group includes bake outputs, you'll wanna use the base color output

[icy void]

okay ill get that done, thanks very much evac

[icy void]

i just wanna be sure so i can chill out a bit

are there missing textures in the files? or am i simply having trouble with finding the correct one?

actually dumb question, the blender model would have had missing textures too if that was the case

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-spongebob-spongebob-meme-patrick-meme-dumb-patrick-gif-9974665538168463324

[lusty isle]

I know I saw it some where, but how can we change colors independently?

[white pecan]

just delete the global color nodegroup from whichever part you wanna change the colors of specifically

additionally hit the number next to the material name before deleting that node if you want to just change that mesh specifically

[dense sequoia]

no idea why but for somereason my marines look fine in material preview but the moment i hit render (or switch to rendered) the marine appears purple
i havent touched the textures outside of adding one additional decal of my own (a BA shoulder) but this was happening before i did that

[white pecan]

you're missing the world texture for whatever reason
download this and put it anywhere, then hit file>external data>find missing files>select the folder its in

[dense sequoia]

alrighty, will do

[dense sequoia]

forgot to say, it works now, thank you!👍

[icy void]

Hey, Evac. Is there any chance you could try finding Titus's cuirrass in the files? i'd love to use that breastplate for my ultramarine, or if you already have it can you direct me where to get it?

Yes, I will be working on an update. But don't expect it to come out super fast.

[edgy scaffold]

it must come out NOW evac there's no TIME

[white pecan]

[edgy scaffold]

Next week they will drop yet another update with a bunch of cosmetics you must HURRY

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-ghost-barrel-explode-fly-gif-10528166394804192796

[eternal mirage]

How dare you not even have the update primed and ready before they even release the next game update.

[safe pasture]

Hopefully we get the update and the older marks youre allowed to share. 🥺

[edgy scaffold]

Praying for that Mark 2
