I have seen someone modify the umodel's source to make umodel export morphs as a seperate .psk or .gltf so you can merge them in a 3d application
Basically what it does is it makes each morph as Base Shape like applies the morph to mesh then exports it
It also gives the morphs name to the exported skeleton, which makes it easier to know which one is which then you can basically import them all and join them as morph shapes but its not working for every model...

I really hope you can implement this because this is great and working perfectly when you combine files in a 3d program

Also thank you for your work on umodel !

I do have plans for making CORRECT export of morphs to glTF. Not doing the separate mesh for each morph, but exporting mesh delta alongside with the mesh itself. Psk export is not planned at all, otherwise I'd need to update my importer script (and therefore install 3ds Max to my laptop again).
The approach which is used in this patch is not acceptable for me.
Anyway, I see this code is based on quite recent version of "original" UModel, so all supported games should work. If not - probably the game is not supported?

Normal umodel is opening the gamefiles but this one is not opening it lemme copy paste the error
Code:
ProcessVerts <- ConvertLod:lod=0 <- USkeletalMesh4::ConvertMesh <- USkeletalMesh4::Serialize <- LoadObject:SkeletalMesh4'SK_Louis_Another.SK_Louis_Another', pos=4D3C77, ver=514/0 (unversioned), game=ue4.18 <- UObject::EndLoad <- LoadWholePackage:SK_Louis_Another <- CUmodelApp::ShowPackageUI <- Main:umodel_build=(unversioned)

And its sad to hear you have no plans exporting psk like this, i don't think it would harm your importer since it exports everything just like how it normally exports psk just multiple stuff but you'd know better so

May be this umodel has some differences, or may be you're running original and patched umodel with different settings. What game was that?

I have no idea if it does, this is what he shared and he said he only copied things inside exportpsk , and i thought id let you know and hoped that maybe it gives you an idea or two

Recently I'm trying to return to UE Viewer development, so may be morphs will be available sooner than I expected.

Has there been any updates on proper Morph export? I would use that modified version of Umodel, but it seems to crash on the game I try to use it on (SpongeBob SquarePants Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, btw).

It'd be really nice if there was any news on Morph Exporting, considering the majority of the characters in BFBB Rehydrated animate their faces via morphs.

Nothing has been done - it's just "planned". However it is not in "short" TODO list. I'm trying to follow my own priorities with umodel over past and next month.

hello, i am very curious if umodel got (or if its possible to have) this feature! (export the model with morph as shape keys)
i know that there is scaleform and facefx for options but i dont know if this is the same thing.

i saw at this video from unreal dev. team that they are working on a plugin to export that feature from blender to unreal. (the reverse, right?)

https://youtu.be/yOELHvKqiHU?t=2881
(the example start around 48 49 mintes )

Can someone please provide the build of this umodel that renpon is talking about? This is a fast and perfect solution to exporting morphs for Blender users. Thanks!
