For those of you who don't see the Import PSA/PSK option in their Valoanim plugin: You might have to have the PSA/PSK import plugin enabled in your blender preferences "Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Search for PSA" If that doesn't show up, then install this plugin and it should work: github.com/Befzz/blender3d_import_psk_psa/releases Additional tip I forgot to mention: Don't forget to apply the keyframes before you render. When you're done making changes, you have to set the keyframes so that Blender knows where to put the bones at any given time. Once you get the bones where you want them, go into pose mode and select all the bones you moved (selecting all of the bones is easier with A), then press I, and select the location and rotation option to set a keyframe at the current frame.

Make sure you're importing the correct one, you can also just import all of them and delete the ones that don't work. Alternatively, you have the viewport gizmos turned off in the top right of the viewport

@TEK-

11 ай бұрын

With Zain's rig I'm not sure there's a great way unless you do animation retargeting, which I haven't attempted personally or covered since it's more in-depth. You're probably fine just using just the third person rig if you're trying to make an animation, that way the face animations can import from in-game, and custom ones are quicker. I usually recommend the character select rig for still renders/posters as you have more control over the face, but you can still get a lot done just by using the third person rig.

Yeah so the animation you select is depending on which rig you are using, for example if you are using the character select rig (CS), you want to use the CS animations. If you're using the 3P rig, you want 3P animations. If you're using the 1P rig, use 1P animations. If you tell me which rig and which animation you're using, I can let you know which one to use. Additionally some animations like the run and walk animations are broken, unless you export with a special version of fmodel (I havent talked about or covered that yet but hope to later on).

@@tk11rj You have to make sure you are using the correct rig in combination with the animation. For example if the animation is named TP_xxx.psa, the TP stands for third person and works best with the third person rig (1P goes with the 1P rig, CS goes with character select, etc.). With the ValoAnim plugin you can press Face Fix in order to reset the face pose back to neutral. However, if you use the correct rig with the correct animation it should work properly. Also, edit mode will always show the mesh without any animation or rigging on it, so that's not an indicator of anything wrong.
