[REL] Blender DFF IO For III/VC/SA

[Noggano]

Why i save DFF skin, my gta sa crash???

[Concavax]

 

 

I know this thread is old AF.

I can't install 3DS MAX, i'm stuck in WindowsXP.

And if is possible i don't want to use Zmodeler.

 

Maybe some one can help me with this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's maybe i know nothing about modelling, and even less i know about modding. And the major modification to a weapon model made by my in Blender with this script is delete the flash of a weapon. When i put it in the game using Modloader, the game was ok and it's seemed like no problem.

 

Anyway, i was trying to retexture the buggy vanilla weapons in SA, but the model is bad, so i was only testing unwrapping the weapon to make a texture. So i used smart unwrapping in blender so the texture can be the less buggy possible. It's seems acceptable in Blender, then i exported to DFF and loaded into the game, this is what happened.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I even thinked it was a problem of 2pass rendering from Silent's patch. NO. That isn't the issue.

 

What can be the problem? I'm missing some option when exporting from Blender? or a option while i'm working on Blender?

 

Please, some help?

 

 

 

 

 

Nevermind, wrong tool. This does the job. GTA Tools for Blender

Howdy,

 

Sorry to be bringing up such an old topic, but I used this script for my first .DFF file and the conversion came across great.

 

My second file attempt gave me the following error.

=========================

 

Can anyone assist or point me in a direction to figure out the issue?

 

Thanks in advance,

Yes, this is dead in the water.
