SMITE Models

« on: August 24, 2015, 23:56 »

Well, i'm from Uruguay (Spanish speaker) so i Hope my english is understandable.

I'm interested in extract 3D Models from Smite. Well, if you open the original .UPKs into the UDK, it crashes. So, i opnened the .upk files in uModel, extract it and create a new package in UDK, import the Skeletal Mesh (or at least i think it is) and the Textures. I'm going to explain what i do so you can tell me if i'm doing something wrong. To visualize properly the Model in UDK, i have to manually create a Material, in that material "put" the .tga files and "link" DIFF with Diffuse, NRM with Normal, etc. In the "MATERIAL WINDOW", appears a Ball, and not the Mesh, so I double click the Mesh and in the Material section i select: "Use selected objet in Content Browser" (with my "edited" material selected). And that's it, now i can Move the Mesh to the map and...that.

Here's a screenshot of how i see the "Material Window" http://prntscr.com/88flmc

But, what i need to do is "Extract" the mesh from UDK to a .OBJ file. I think that i can't do that, so I read that i can download 3DsMax, download the ActorX script, and import the Model from uModel to 3DsMax, save it as a .OBJ file and it's done.

I have two Issues here:
1: The models are imported with some weird "things" (sorry but i dont know how to call it). I think that it's the Skeleton but i dont know how to delete it. Here is a screenshot of what i See: http://prntscr.com/88fh1o

2: The models NEVER import with the Textures, even if i choose the "Material" path properly, i try with every path of the Extrated .UPK file from uModel, and the model never has a texture.

So:
-How can i put off the "Skeleton" from the Mesh? (i think that This is called a "Static Mesh")
-How can i load the textures properly, to save the Mesh (with the textures) in a .OBJ file?
-It's possible to import the Originals .UPK files from SMITE, to UDK whitout it crashes?

If you ned ANY extra info, I haven't any problem on giving it.

Thank you very much:
-Agustín.

PD: Sorry for any wrong "term" or something, i'm new in all this stuff about 3D models, UDK, uModel + a Spanish Speaker Grin

Try to remove "skin" modifier from the object. Also, you may notice that mesh and skeleton are created as separate objects in hierarchy - I think you may remove skeleton there (in hierarchy window).

May be you didn't check "recurse" option?

No. Not just for SMITE, but for any other game too.

I solved my first problem, in the left side of 3DsMax there is a lot of (what i think it is) bones, and just 1 "Model", i had to clone that "Model" and delete everything else.

But the second problem...i'll try to take a lot of screenshots :v

The uModel extracts the .UPK in 4 folders: Material3, MaterialInstanceConstant, SkeletalMesh3 and Texture 2D. I tried to put this folders in the "Path to Materials" section in the 3DsMax script... This is what i see: http://prntscr.com/88rkke

I tried to Check the option "do nothing", but the Model is imported without textures anyway... Well, if I check "Ask" when i import the Mesh.psk this is what i see:
http://prntscr.com/88rmcp (There are important Notes inside this screenshot)

I think that the Program is asking me for the "Textures" of the Material: MIC_GOD_NuWA_V2_Skin3, but i tried with every .TGA file i think, and I never could import the Textures properly.

In UDK, i just create a New material and "Link" the .TGA files DIFF with Diffuse, NRM with Normal, etc, apply this Material to the Mesh and thats it...

Thank you for the first response!!

When importer script can't find a material, if asks for single diffuse texture to be mapped instead of a whole material. If you have .mat files exported, but importer can't find them - this means you specified wrong "textures" path. This path should enclose directories with textures and mat files.

PS: I tried to uncheck the option "See thru mesh" but, the same problem.

You should put "materials path" equals to directory name which is opened in your Explorer window. I can't see the path itself, can see only 2 last letters "Va". If nothing works, check "Max listener" window (opened with F11 key) - it contains all errors.

Ok, while i'm writing i'm opening 3DsMax...now i have another problem. I want to open a .u File with Unreal Explorer, and it's says that it's compressed. I download the UnrealDecompressor but doesn't do anything with the .u file...the File specifically is named TgGame.u, if you are interested.

Ok, I put "materials path" equals to that Directory name, and the same. Here's another screenshot (yes, i love screenshots) http://prntscr.com/897vjn

PD: I haven't solved my problem yet, but you are just awesome, thank you very much for everything.
PD2: I think my english levels in this time are deplorable...

I'm going to add decompress functionality to UI, but I think that UModel will not get any significant update until October - I'm busy with 2 projects now, for more than 1 month currently (that's why UModel receives only "critical" updates now).

What problem do you have with decompressor?

Is this mesh displayed textured in UModel? By the way, I see no errors in log

I think it's good enough

Actually no, the Mesh is not displayed textured in uModel: http://prntscr.com/89jkyy
Doing some research, i figure it out how to Apply a material to a Mesh (in 3DsMax), but it is not usefull to what i want to do. I want to upload some models to: http://p3d.in/u/SmiteNews
Apparently this page accepts .OBJ files and .MTL files... When i select the Mesh (textured) in 3DsMax, and then I click to "Export Selected" and select .OBJ, the program exports in 2 files, the .MTL and the .OBJ. I have no problems uploading the .OBJ, but it isn't textured (I think it is not suposed to be). Then, I can't upload the .MTL file. When i'm doing it nothing happens...so, I have to upload the 3 textures .TGA files (Diffuse, Normal and Specular) manually, but before i have to convert the .TGA files to .JPG...

I hope there is a way to upload models easily (like, upload 1 file and that it's textured) because i have to do it with 66 Gods, and some gods had 6 Skins, other 4, etc.

But now, that's the minor problem, because i figure it out how to upload models, my problem now is the Decompressor:

This is my file .bat:

Quote

decompress.exe -lzo TgGame.u

Also, a screenshot: http://prntscr.com/89jjcb

When i excecute the .BAT file, nothing happens. There is nothing into the unpacked folder, no "window" appear, nothing. Actually, the decompressor works for me with .UPK files (wich I dont know why to decompress them).

I read on Reddit that the TgGame.u file is the one with important stuff to datamine, like New Gods names...

Thank you in advance:
-Agustín

PD: You still awesome

PD2: ¿There is a way to edit the Mesh Position, remove the Skeleton and that the Position remains there? Like in the "Medusa: Estándar", to don't have that form...

So don't expect it to be automatically textured in 3ds Max either.

This is a console program, so you should start CMD.EXE and launch decompressor there. Then you'll either get a decompressed file, or you'll see an error message.

This error means: "this game has something custom in compression system". Can't fix it. I think I saw it somewhere on this forum, perhaps in another one SMITE thread.

Ok D: Thank you very much...the last thing and i don't bother you anymore:

There is a way to edit the Mesh Position, remove the Skeleton and that the Position remains there? Like in the "Medusa: Estándar" (http://p3d.in/ArPvA) , to don't have that form...

If you're asking about 3ds Max editing - I'm not the best person for answer
