Only for Modder - New Pre-Version XNALara 8.8

Tested: Export selected as .mesh.ascii (posed). Models: FF Fang by o0Crofty0o and Whiterfang by Sir Croft.
Reimporting after t-posing her arms, worked flawlessly. The result of loading a pose, after this is great (without this method, it looked pretty bad).


I've tried with another model (Heather by o0Crofty0o) and the posing result was not so good as the above, perhaps because I couldn't T-pose her right (tried like 4 times), or something weird about her armature?

Model: Witherfang by Sir Croft. Before, the model was turned 180º and Blender gave me errors on importing, so I couldn't fix it. With this new Export selected as .mesh.ascii (posed), I did it , and also resize her, she looks happy about it.

Ok, last test: model from Lost Planet, ripped by? I dunno. Left: static .obj model, Right: posable model... doing a pose after the new method described by XNAaraL. Looks... crappy, but it was made a test only (took half an hour to do it) and, most important: I don't know SHIT about rigging/armatures seriously, I really don't know. Now, if I, a 100% noob in rigging, could came up with something like this, in half an hour... just imagine what knowledgeable modders could came up with new version, this release has TONS of potential! this'll be epic. No problems so far (prog crashed when I forgot to add a flat_bump tp the mesh, but that is normal I guess...) I'll keep testing tomorrow.

Many many thanks for testing. Ans so many test's
I check Heather by o0Crofty0o this day. Maybee this model have some hidden bones.

About the static model: I know "BoneWeightCopy" are only a basis for Weight-Painting by Hand. I know the result looks... crappy ;-) , but a chance for beginners and postprocessing with photoshop are possible.

BTW: Change the height (distance to the ground) are only possible, if here are a extra bone as child of the "root bone", but you can use notepad and set "0 -0.5 0" for the root bone for more height.

Thanks for testing.
Un abrazo

WOW, this is really cool!!!

I´ll see if I can test some things.

Last test with the same method described by XNAaraL. Model Vanessa from P.N.03 ripped by? static model maked posable in two hours. The .obj was already in T-pose, but this method helped me (a 100% ignorant in riggin) to make a more precise approach, by locating the bones the better I could and exporting the pose. Making models possables, is now a reality even for noobs like me! (yes I'm happy lol)

is not perfect, and I haven't touched the textures, but as you can see, it's a pretty acceptable result.
Pose: Perfect pointing by Rolanda_141


unfortunately, the facial rig result was not as good... but for that you MUST learn how to rigg, I guess. This new version is made of awesome, but ...is not magic of course.

OMG OMG how did you do that?!

Just using XNAaraL method: I switched between move and rotate mode to place the bones the closest to the static mesh as possible, then exported the model as pose, then followed all the steps described in the first post, and voila! And I must correct my last post: this new release is not magic... but is pretty damn similar, I'm loving it.

Well she has some ''unused blahblah'' bones but Fang has them too so i don't think that's the problem

Thanks. What is the problem by Heather? Have you a idea?

I have been trying some small things and I already love it!

For example, you can change any body part (for example hair) in XNALara (by posing), save it, convert, and it will be like that forever without the need of Blender or changing the armature etc. It's great!

Edit:

I tested most 'basic' features, like posing, lighting and saving images, it all works fine.

I'm going to try to make something poseable now (thanks Mjolnirs ).

Thanks. Precisely for these actions, the new extensions have been developed. :-)

I am sure the extensions have no side effects on the previous functions. However, this needs to be tested. Thank you. XNALara is mainly to the creating render and we must as modders take care that these functions are not bothered by our desires. My tests were all successful. I not implement an additional feature and ask Dusan to confirm the official release.
Thanks for all the help

Export as Generic_Item.mesh.ascii

Blender exports only a skeleton (without mesh - ex-OBJmodel). What's my error?

You must hit the File-->Export->MeshAsciiExt menu item

https://2img.net/h/oi55.tinypic.com/vneefd.jpg

and

on this time the mesh and the armature must be shown on the display.
Have you any errors or warnings? Maybee "nSkipping mesh XXX (non-triangular faces)." ? If so, then use for this mesh part Ctrl+T (Mesh-->Faces-->Convert_Quads_to_Triangles)

I understood - that time I took "wrong" OBJ-model (ex-SMB instead of BFM+SKB)
Now all works fine...

...but what is it?

Rolanda_141 wrote:What is it?

This is the limit by the XNA framework. This mesh part is connected with to many bones :-(
Split the mesh part in to or more pices. Select the faces and hit the key Parent. Switch to the object mode and rename the new part in the Tab "Link and Materials" field "OB:5_severin_0.1_0_0.001" to some thing like 5_severin2_0.1_0_0

BTW: Using of 7_ (with shading and alpha) is better then 5_ (shadless). Decrement in this case the brightness by 1 tick)

(After seeing that) Do you know any shortcut key to go for that option?

[/quote]

There is no shortcut for running a Blender script.
You can do:

Resize the 3D Window:


OR
Run the script from Text-Editor window:

1. Open a Text Editor Window


2. Invoke 'Open Script'


3. Choose the mesh_boneweight_copy.py script


4. Run the script with Alt+P

I can't seem to download the program. I keep getting a file does not exist message.
