GTAV: Lights (work in progress) A support for exporting lights into GTA models have been added. To the moment the only model files confirmed to support exported lights are .yft files. Original game models have lights in .ydr too, but these have not yet been confirmed to get exported properly. gta_l...

paint 6 = interior paint; paint 7 = dials paint.

yup, this is a wind effect. use the guidance from this post: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8755&view=unread#p48350

L0/L1 objects are shown with respect to availability of geometries for L0/L1 on compound objects. You should create a dummy for an object (that you wish to depend on L0/L1), toggle off L0, L1, and all other states and use "Convert to compound" on this dummy. then send your meshes for L0 an...

@Lundy, can you make a small video on what goes wrong with the gun in game?

what is your zmodeler version? have you changed date on your computer recently? if you did, only online validation will work. Here's a validation key for you: YFM-G2DE7-3VB5F, but I wish you configure browser or set up online validation, so you can do this on your own. Note, the very latest version ...

you get a fresh validation in account by pressing "Validate" button. Copy validation key and "Shift" it into ZModeler's "License Information" window.

cyan color is something like 20% influence only. it should be bright red. I assume you paint with Rigging\Influence\Paint tool, correct?
Take a look at this video: https://youtu.be/Gc6N6KPqgW8?t=241

thumbnail image is saved in all files exported by ZModeler. In case of GTA: .yft, .ydr, .ydd files get this image saved in. you can try File\Import -> pick your file and check whether "preview" area shows something in it. Thumbnail image is for ZModeler only, it's no way related to the gam...

may be thumbnail image is saved? it's a jpeg image which is usually 8-24kb in size. Also, the file is created based on scene content and materials setup, it could be made of a different layout and packed in a slightly different way producing different file size on scenes with no changes at all.

1. account can log out in MS browser and in google chrome browser (when automatic translation is toggled on). try different browser if possible; 2. offline key will apply to the very latest build only, make sure you run the very latest ZM. (3.1.3 build 1137 if I'm not mistaken) Note, you should pres...

@Lundy, and that's the problem. is gun mesh attached to the rest of geometry already? if it does, select gun vertices and use rigging\influence\copy tool on them. if it's not, follow the correct bones paint procedure: 1. bind model to skeleton; 2. toggle "tranformation + 4 bones" on gun me...

you should export both files from the same scene. The scene should show your hi-detailed vehicle when L0 button on structure panel is pressed; it should show low-res model when L1 is pressed. When scene setup is correct (as specified above) the export to police.yft and police_hi.yft will give correc...

I mean this "per-vertex specular color": This is a build-in feature of ped shaders allowing micro-cloth simulation on a mesh. Read here: http://forum.zmodeler3.com/viewtopic.php?p=47972#p47972 The specular per-vertex color is what you need to be changed. If I'm not mistaken, R, G, B specul...

can you confirm correct bone weighting of the problematic part using a "bone movement" approach as shown above? also, have you paint black the specular color on new geometry?

if you right-click on skeleton and disable "Setup mode", you can move/rotate bones (with no harm, as you can "Reset transform" to revert back) - give it a try in ZModeler and check whether the problematic gun is actually affected by the bone you need.

these are object name's ID used by game engine for scripting parts behavior. If your model uses its own part names, they will have random IDs and can't be scripted by the game (e.g. you can't name my_door_lf, as the game will try to script "door_lf" for driver entering vehicle animation). ...

influence copy does not work on groups. If your [source or destination] model is a group, influence will not get copied properly. Ensure you set max bones on object and turn on "transformation" in properties/mesh/vertices/format. once you've attached pistol to the rest of the model, you ca...

An update to "Skeleton.zmp" plugin have been submitted. A Rigging\Skeleton\Unbind tool will now commit geometry transformation on associated meshes if you use this tool on skeleton in non-setup mode (when "Setup Mode" is off on skeleton base). Thus, you can refine original mesh p...

buggy on original models being imported and exported with no changes?

Then use GIMS and open format tools in OpenIV.

You can put license onto platform that has no license assigned. If your license has expired but is still shown in account as active/running, you should delete your platform and add it again. Note, this will not give you the second trial license, you should purchase a license to apply it onto your pl...

When I edited one of the bones of the range, continue to edit the scope of the impact of another bone. When I went back to see the influence of the bones that had been edited before, I found that the range of effects had changed. Why? How can I avoid it? when mesh has at multiple bones influence on...

Your materials are not properly converted. Each material requires a conversion or at least an in-game shader adaption assignment. In ZModeler2 it was done on material name by appending shader name like "mesh" in a tail. In ZModeler3 a dedicated field "Adapt" is available on mater...
