Rotating in object mode isnt "permanent", you have to apply transforms with Ctrl+A.

This is called rigging, there are quite a few good tutorials about it on youtube. Ofcourse none for specifically SA but the idea is the same.

When importing voodoo.dff, then exporting it as it is and plugging it into the game, some materials are switched (vehiclegeneric256 becomes glass for some reason), UVs get butchered and the camera height seems off. Also, the exported model is larger in size, even though I haven't done anything to it. Any idea how to overcome these issues?

how to bake lighting in vertex colours? 
----
Since Blender V2.92 Vertex Color baking from light is built-in using Cycles engine
Everything turned out to be just easier

found a solution

[RACERNELEGALNY]

When I import the model into the blender, everything is fine.
If I export the model to .dff And import it into the blender again, the sharps get lost, disappear.
It turns out that after exporting, the shading of the model becomes incorrect.
What am I doing wrong

Why bake color vertexes? You can just add them to the "ColorVertex List" and that's it, the script will do everything by itself.

yes, but in order for them to be created from a light source (sun, point, ...), and not made manually, you need to click the "Bake" button.

This is a standard gunbox. On the right is what I get after exporting. unnecessary sharps. I do not know why they appear. how can I fix this?

Uncheck "Use Edge Split" while importing. The DFF file doesn't store sharp information. While importing, the plugin will mark the duplicate vertices as sharp so you don't have to work with two sets of vertices (because the format doesn't support different materials/normals/etc. for the same vertex so they have to be duplicated).

[RACERNELEGALNY]

how do attach a collision to the dff ?

[MCast1e]

That's cool and all but one question.
Animation support when
Using this plugin since 2.8 release, still have 2.79 for animations (and i hate it)

This tool is awesome!

 

Can't wait for IV/V support.

 This happends when i try to export a skin and bones model, is there a way to make it import it correctly?

 

[maxsonmx11]

Hey can someone help me? I'm totally new and I'm stumped. It's the first time i'm using blender and i've been trying to open a dff file in it. I downloaded the zip provided here and pointed to it in the add ons section and enabled it. But how do i open the dff file now? Trying to use file > open but I can't see the dff, it's like it's not detecting it.

It's alright, I switched to 3DS max and figured it out. I'm now in unity, have applied the skin/texture (I believe) to the model, loaded the vrc sdk successfully, and need to figure out what's next

after export, some cars (san andreas) without shade, how can i fix it?

It might help to see how the cars look, but I will assume you mean they have no shading - in this case, check that the materials has specular maps plugged in and that you're exporting vertex normals. Do not export vertex colors.

It looks like your new DFF is missing the original .col file. Vehicle models has their collisions embedded in their DFF. These collisions contain both collision mesh and shadow mesh.

What is the difference between environment, reflection and specular? I tried to apply them all in turn to the sunglasses object, only enivoriment is visible in the game

Environment mapping is used by objects and vehicles for the fake reflections seen on parts e.g chrome.

Only vehicles support Specular material and is used to show their normals while also adding a faint highlight on top of its surface.

I'm not really sure what the Reflection material is for, but I guess it's unused for GTA.

Is there a reason why by default the alpha output from the Image Texture isn't connected to the Principled BDSF alpha's input?
(Happens on ipl imports, unsure about dffs)

Duh. Of course. The problem is that this should happen automatically.

There are dozens of textures with alpha channels. If I were to do this to every tree it would take me forever.

In fact, I have done it and it took me forever.
