geraltArmature_v.1.0

Nexus Mods


Finally managed to extract Geralt's skeleton/armature, tested it in-game, and it works - so I thought I'd share it as a .blend file  for anyone else who wants to skip the extra steps of extracting and  preparing their own.  
  
 To make use of the armature... convert the armor mesh you want to  
 start with from .w2mesh to .fbx with modkit, run the .fbx through  
 Autodesk's standalone FBX converter exporting it to .dae.  Import  
 the .dae into Blender 2.78 and delete the armature that loads with  
 it (the armature's wonky, but the meshes are perfect and have  
 materials/UVs/weights intact.)  Now append the provided Geralt  
 armature, and using Blender's outliner, drag-and-drop each mesh icon  
 onto the armature icon choosing "Armature Deform" when you let go.   
 That's it... Edit the mesh however you please, then export back to  
 fbx (settings that work for me are forward:-z, up:y, path:copy,  
 primarybone:y, secondarybone:x, nodetype:limbnode, leafbones:no),  
 and bring it back in through modkit again.  
  
 Need some other armature?  Steps are pretty similar:  
 .w2mesh->.fbx->.dae, delete the meshes and then combine all  
 the individual joints into a single armature via "join"... however  
 you MUST use Blender 2.76 to import the .dae for an armature as it's  
 the only version that'll read it correctly and preserve the  
 joint rotations.  Once you save it to a .blend though, it'll work  
 just fine in Blender 2.78 (hopefully future versions too.)  
  
 Happy modding... :)
