GTA 5: ZModeler3 import/export plugin (Now available)

[Oleg]

similarities are conceptual, but there is no any one-to-one matching pattern in them.

It would be cool to see a beta plugin which allows to import a YFT as a object without properties in Zmod.

A what?

A jumble of vertices that resembles a car in ZMOD what.

why? what's the point? What's good in that?

I already try import some models to zmodeler2 by converting it to dff using another program, all good but cloth can not be imported, some DLC models like valkyrie imports only just one mesh (different YFT formats?) About buffalo wing - they has an identical car coordinates, I noticed that the hood, bumpers have axes in 0,0,0 and so they do not work as the exhaust pipes, wings etc, I hope I helped you Oleg.

[Chasez]

to my surprise this did worked. I just replaced model and texture files by renaming them, no touch in text parameters etc. it had some visual artifacts, but it looked ok to me. the second attempt with barracks truck was a bit better with no visual artifacts but with some lagging or missing textures. not a problem in context of exploring the cloth data.

I see you have missing interior textures, they are in vehicles_(and the name of the vehicle it could be using the textures from)_interior. Also each vehicle is using modelname.ytd, modelname_hi.ytd and vehshare.ytd, some of them use other vehshare texture files as well.

this is what I mean:

I think to have basic bodypart mods it would be sufficient, to import, edit and rebuild them. Then move on to something more complex.

any updates yet?

[Oleg]

generally, no. I'm on the same research phase, but decided to implement in code most of what I've found so far. Then i'll continue research farther.

things that are barely known to the moment are cloth simulation, some physic types (I've made a very first glance, there could be more problems involved in physics), and crashing geometry (like window extending bullet holes) are not explored yet.

P.S. can someone locate me a taxi_interior2 texture? it's used in buffalo2 interior and I can't find it anywhere... Also, a taxi_ng_detail (not "taxi_ng_detail2"), taxi_ng_dash and taxi_ng_dash_spec.

vehicles.rpf-> vehicles_poltax_interior.ytd = all the textures you are missing.

Thanks.

...I'm getting a bit lazy this weekend, can you make me a screenshot of rear part of "schafter2" with high dirt level on it? It looks strange to me when loaded in zm.

I do not have GTA 5, but I hope I helped you.

Here ya go.

[Oleg]

thanks @Chasez. It does look strange to have high level dirt mapping on the lower part of rear bumper and fewer dirt mapped on above the mid-line. you can clearly see it on _dimka_'s image. that did surprised me a little, I've thought it's a bug in uv layout or i've messed something. well, it is the right way as I see. moving on.

Edit: I can't spawn "airbus", can you say in words, whether this bus burnt state has black burnt areas in front and rear part, or in a middle part? most of vehicles has black-burnt state in middle part, but this bus seems to be an inverse? may be a screenshot?

Here it is

good, as expected. And one more thing: an armitrailer #1 (with no cargo) from the rear-right angle. preferable, with some dirt level. Need to check the dirt/camo mapping in game and especially the very corner of the model as shown:

I couldn't get it dirty probably need more time to drive around, I have to go now but I'll try this later.

Edit: 1, 2 of course.

I think he can see that in zmod. He needs an in - game screen shot.

I know, but i think OpenIV shows same as in game.

yup, I need an in-game shot. OpenIV is a "considerable point of view", very the same as I have with "my point of view", while I need the shot of first-hand representation.

It is really hard to get it dirty, this is the best I could do and it doesn't really look like the dirt map you have.

[f5544]

Oleg you're doing a great job. Chasez also for helping. I hope we can make great police cars soon.
