But I already answered between the lines. You need BT 1.10 for blender 2.79 ... been said multiple times already.

[Yukine]

I still can't manage it, can I have further help please? Thanks.

@Bruno_G: do not cut scania Scania has a lot of custom normals that's why it looks how it looks Now you shouldn't do much with the shape if you don't want to loose that information, because as soon as you cut the mesh, blender can't really hold old information of normals anymore. On the other hand if you tell as what are you trying to achieve we might be able to help you

You might have some luck with creative use of a Data Transfer modifier(s) and vertex groups. Keep an unmodified copy of the mesh to transfer the custom normals data from.

[ohaha]

and I already said I downloaded everything that was new on the SCS GitHub site... anyways, I downloaded it again and now I don't get the red errors anymore (Yay!) but...

Code: Select all

So, CAPITAL letters is bad, I guess, for bone names.
But, where do I find that "Normalize All Vertex Groups" button?

[50keda]

As the warning says: Select object & execute "Normalize All Vertex Groups" -> where execute translates to: Press Space in 3D view and start writing

[ohaha]

oh, you can do that? darn, I'm too old for this ...

[Blackspots]

Why does model creation have to be so complex?

[kast]

Didnt want to make new topic, but anyone have a good way to test LOD models in game? I want to know, how much the lod model take resources, but when i zoom out the scene will get bigger

[50keda]

g_lod_factor_* 0.1 Or even less...
