GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Hope Oleg and someone can help me with applying AO (ambient occlusion) texture on Ped. I’ve found on google and youtube but didn’t see any tutorial about this. Please help me !
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
not sure what exactly you need. GTA uses ambient occlusion on per-vertex level (red channel). You can combine it with main texture if it has rendered AO there.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Hi Oleg ! As the picture below, the ped has 4 texture map, I mean that is there any way that can we apply the Ambient Occlusion (AO) map
Thank you so much for you reply !
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
you should apply AO texture over diffuse map in Multiply mode and save it as a new baked diffuse map. You can do this photoshop I guess.

Is it possible to do the process applied between 2:44 - 3:16 in this video with Zmodeler3?

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
not sure what exactly are you talking about, it looks like everything shown in a video can be done in ZModeler.
Given the time codes, I assume you've asked about moving the geometry away from it's skeleton (or vice versa)? Yes, ZModeler allows skeleton to be away from an affected geometry. Mind to toggle off an option on a skeleton "Use base transform". When this option is off, the location of skeleton's base will not affect the mesh, so you can move skeleton aside or move a mesh away, it will still be rigged and will perform correct rigging when you adjust pose of the skeleton. When you toggle an option "use base transform", then skeleton's base movement will also affect the rigged mesh (moving skeleton will move the rigged mesh the same way).

I succeeded. Thank you so much.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
I can't connect the skeleton to the model. I wonder why?

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Binding an object to a skeleton is not enough. You need bones weight to be assigned onto mesh vertices. In your case, you can assign weight of bone "head" onto all vertices of your mesh component. Switch object to vertices level, select all vertices. pick Rigging\Influence\Paint tool, expand its options and switch it to "Preset" mode. Locate a head bone in a skeleton, drag and drop it into a under "Preset". A "head" bone will appear there with influence strength set to 100 by default. Press "Fill selected" button to assign this weight preset onto selected vertices.

Unfortunately I couldn't. I couldn't understand the way I had to follow because my English is bad. There was no such problem before.Oleg wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 8:18 am Binding an object to a skeleton is not enough. You need bones weight to be assigned onto mesh vertices.

very similar, but there the wight is removed with "influence paint" tool, while you need to assign weight (using the same tool and same technique).

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
how i rig somthing to mp male like ring etc staff whiteout refrbece model
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
probably, you can paint weight manually. in most of cases you can find a reference model that is rigged already.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
how i add prop to a ped like jacket etc cuz i cant find eny guid on the web pls help me
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
try searching on youtube, may be there are guides on how to add props to a ped. ZModeler is about how to create model files that could be then used by the game. The topic on how to let the game use particular files as an addon prop is out of the scope of ZModeler itself. I personally don't make any mods, so I don't have an answer to your question.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
ok i cant find eny guid but thx
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
why i cant aplly the matiral on the mesh ? in vertex mode but i can aplly for all the mesh like that https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... height=592
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
Material can be applied to object or polygons, you cant assign material in vertices mode.
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
if I"m not mistaken, you should specify full file name in textures browser on "textures group" page. e.g.
berd_002_u.ydd
Note, the game can switch textures on a ped model (to create random outfit) and textures name (and their location in .ytd files) can suppress your texture assignment on materials in ZModeler. This is something to adjust in metadata file for the ped. I advise to use original texture names (if you replace some ped) and put your own modified textures with original texture names into original .ytd files.

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
may be it is located in some different folder or in some common folder for all multiplayer models.. it's not a must for *.yft file to reside in the same folder as the .ydd file. the one that game actually use with .ydd file. I don't know the way game uses to bind multiplayer .ydd to a skeleton

Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
how o make a cape that actley move like a cape
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
what yld shud i use to gest a cape that will react to the wind ?
Re: GTA V character (Player, NPC) modding
.yld file is a cloth simulation data for a .cloth object stored inside .yft file. The .yld file is not used on its own. The model that comes with .yld file has a cloth-simulation model configured, so your own model can replace this model in game. You can't export model with cloth into a game model that was not natively using cloth in it. It's up to some configuration in metadata file, may be this issue was solved already.
The cloth simulation is done on a geometry model using a low-detailed cloth geometry model (that is actually cloth-simulated). It can't be expressed as a forum post, you should better watch videos on this subject.
