The First Descendant

also dearly hoping that the textures stuff for this gets fixed on UModel since the FModel textures has the 'P'/'Part'/'Pack' texture not working correctly- the alpha causes only the area it clears to show and blacks out everything else. it's very frustrating since those textures are the last ones i need to be able to make the models look like they do in-game.



example of what i'm talking about on a model, the white is the alpha and the colored bits are the actual p texture's color

This has been fixed in CUE4Parse (the library Fmodel uses) thanks to Officer, the code is currently not merged but available in the CUE4Parse/virtual-texture-rgb-fix branch, so one of the next releases of FModel should contain the fix as well.

EDIT: fix is available now if "Update Mode" in FModel settings is set to "QA testing"

seems morph targets do not load at all

Serializing behind stopper (627936+4 > 627936)

Call stack:
FIOStoreFile::Serialize <- FArchive::ByteOrderSerialize <- TArray::Serialize: 0/0 <- FMorphTargetLODModel::Serialize4 <- TArray::Serialize: 2/4 <- UMorphTarget::Serialize4 <- LoadObject: MorphTarget'PC_007_A_Face_000.AppleUp', pos=75AF, ver=527/0, game=first <- UObject::EndLoad <- LoadWholePackage: /M1/Content/Characters/PC/MESH/007/A/Skel/Face/PC_007_A_Face_000.uasset <- CUmodelApp::ShowPackageUI <- Main: umodel_build=1579 based fix56

is there any word on whether or not morph targets for the heads will be supported?

Hey, So I'm not sure if the _P textures are standard, or maybe mine are messed up, but for the "PC" meshes, outfits seem to use _P for emissives, while skin does seem to be ao/rough/metal or spec maybe. I am running the QA branch of fmodel too. I don't seem to have any textures that could be rough/metal for any of the outfit textures for the ones I've checked so far, like valby (mesh 010) The ID textures are likely for the in game paint customization from the looks of them. Any insights would be appreciated!

Edit:
So even stranger is the _P textures for the Face and body that attach the the skin material slot have wildly different green channels. I am not loving their texture map structures so far.

Yeah, the weird thing about that is that most P textures aren't always standardized throughout armor/skin/enemies/other stuff. what i've figured out for skin is that the Green channel is sometimes needed to be inverted for faces, and the Blue channel is specular instead of metallic (For both skin and face).
(if you're in my discord just ping me (hydrateordie) so i can send some screenshots of what i'm talking about since putting images in here is frustrating at best)

Just re-read the first bit of your message, and get off QA Testing and turn it back on; the P Textures should work again, being that they actually look like texture stacks instead of what i showed later than what you replied to in this thread.

but as for the armor, it should all be standardized as AO/Rough/Metal for the P Texture. and yeah, ID is for the color stuff. I've made a node that has a lot of customization options for that, that also has the basic structure for the textures set up in it already. I'm still working on it so I haven't uploaded it online anywhere other than my discord since it's still being worked on and needs to be more open ended than specialized since i used it for bunny and geared it towards that more so oops lmao

and yeah, their stuff is just so over the place all the time it's really annoying.

Overall, what i've found to be good base:
Red: Ambient Occlusion
Green: Roughness
Blue: Metallic
Alpha: Emission

but then the outliers have
Green: Smoothness (inverted roughness, only happens on some skin, usually the makeup textures)
Blue: Specular (Skin)
Alpha: Specular or fuzz (Lepic for some reason)
Alpha: maybe Roughness for some Skin, need more research

(a fun note is that the FX texture is instead used for Emission instead of the Alpha of P sometimes,which ties in well with Lepic's alpha being weird)

Mnaged to get the texture trough FModel. However having a small issue around armature.
UModel gives warning: no skeleton, animation will not work!
However I can sess that the model in Umodel as well as exported into Blender does have the armature. But as UModel is saying that there is no armature, I am not able to append any animation and export it. How are you all getting the animation (not the morphs) exported? Thanks

[san]

Thanks mate! I will have a look. Much appreciated!

@san: It's explained in the topic with known issues, mentioned in the first post, and on previous pages, for example this post.
