Nexuiz models rigging

[torus]

Yea. The script works, but this whole process remains entirely indecipherable to me. I think I'll stick to mapping.

This is EXACTLY why i made a single nexuiz weapon exporter instead of just patching the smd and md3 exporters.

I'll soon have the vertex weights fixed in the SMD exporter so creating human models in blender will be possible. I'm not sure how a Humanoid exporter wizard would look, but that would be the next step. Don't give up on it yet.

Noooooo.


This is something the community needs. There are plenty of people who would like to create models but there is no straight forward tutorial.

dpm can, using a path via md5, as LH said..

md5 is a stupid exchange format that also lacks normals so my dpm won't have good shading

[divVerent]

I know, but it makes your point that dpm can't be exported to using free software wrong. But yes, it is a bad path.

[leileilol]

I don't count conversion pipelines as paths.

So are we going to watch developers nitpick each other or maybe get a tutorial out of all of this?

i'm ALMOST done with a Nexuiz compatible SMD exporter. So far i can get zmodel to parse the smd's but all the bones need to be rotated 90degrees. At the moment reptile exports to this freakish thing.


reptile in blender (with spikes)


Give me till next year. I'll have it working by then.

[leileilol]

but all the bones need to be rotated 90degrees.

it's a quake rule. Everything and everything is 90 degrees to the left. The side view should be facing 'front' in Blender.

The md3 script works that way as well.

Great works you guys, really looking forward to running round Nex games and seeing all the strange mangles peeps come up with
...
( not that leillol hasn't already achieved fairytaled up nexuiz )
...
I was really enthusiastic about making custom skins way back and then saw the top of the mountain and thought better of it.
I've decided that torus is my benchmark, when he gets one up and running I'll risk the effort.
