ShenLong Kazama Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Part of a model? What kind, what is your goal? A partof the Desmond model found in this pack http://www.gta4-mods.com/player/assassins-...iii-pack-f18978 I'm trying to remove the shoes which are part of the upper body. using the alpha channel i'm supposed to be able to make the shoes invisible ingame.

Androthia Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Do u have 3d editing program? If so, carefully select the polygons you want to delete....then you could even select the vertices inside the body if it bothers you. Some good editors are 3ds max with gims, zmodeler, hexigon from daz3d, and gmax. Alpha channel really doesnt do much because the mesh is still being computed in game. Any help?

ShenLong Kazama Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Please don't mention that crap. Last year i tried to edit a model with several programs and it was atrocious because nothing worked properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank.s Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Lol the tools are fine, are you sure you know how to use them? They are the same tools that were used to export the Assassins Creed models and thousands others to GTAIV in the first place, how are they atrocious? I imported the Desmond model to 3dsmax and it didn't work (showed an error message) because it was originally exported using an older buggy version of GIMS. The only way to fix it by editing the model would be to re-rig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Androthia Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Those programs are great, 3ds max being one of the best.....hence the $4,000+ price tag. Its the same program that make tons of your special fx in movies. Using them may take years to learn. There are lots of tutotials to show one how to do a specific job without knowing the program much. It can get complicated and stressful, but your modding....that's the nature of the beast, and why we are here on the forums to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShenLong Kazama Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I read various tutorials but it didn't work properly. However, actually my goal is to somehow extract the messenger bag so that i can replace the normal backpacks with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Androthia Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ohhh, use openiv....find the model of both items. Right click and extract as openformat. Open 3ds max, import duffle bag in via gims as openformat. Look at the heirarchy, study it. Reset max, then open the other bag as openformat and then rename all models and dummys to the name of the other bag. Export it via gims as openformat, then import in openiv. Then, in theory....both models should be the backpack. .....the original, and the writeover one. As always when modding....BACKUP THE ORIGINALS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
