Go to the DAE Modelling Import tutorial and download the detachbyID script and use that.

To use it, drag and drop it into your 3ds max scene and press detach (by bitmap, I believe, but check the tutorial to make sure).

Well, it worked! She did get textured in 3DS Max.

But then when I import her into Maya, all her parts are still separated, but none of them are textured.

EDIT: Never miiiiiiind~



She's fully textured now~! It's a rough texturing job here, but she's textured.

Yep, much easier than Maya.

Indeed.

But when I drag a texture onto the model, the entire model gets the texture, not just the part I want to have the texture.

Just drag and drop the textures onto the appropriate spot on the model.

Wow, it's that simple? That's way more effective than how I was texturing it in Maya before.

It's because you didn't send me the textures.

Oh.
...Well, shoot. That would explain it, wouldn't it?
Post Merge: July 08, 2014, 01:57:06 PMOh, Naoto-kun, why are you so uncooperative...? I have no idea how to apply textures in 3DS Max, and applying them in Maya makes them transparent. Well, that's why Google is my friend.

Already sent it back to hinata.

Just tposed it, that's all.

Indeed. She's fully T-Posed now. Although I don't get what happened to the textures... The model I sent you was fully textured from the second I ripped it from the game.

I can do that if you need it, green-star friend

Schweet. I'll let you know when I get to the PSA part of this project.

So, you're starting PSAs too, huh? I see that you're making Naoto Shirogane as a first character... Well then, I wish you good luck with her! I'll keep track of the progress, and if you need help with PSA matters, I can help you with it. (not models, sadly)

*subs*

I probably will need help with PSA stuff. I don't want stuff, like, done for me, but when I get around to it, if someone could help me by showing me what I'd need to do for certain moves to work, that'd be great.

I might want to take a peek at the model myself to see what's up...

Meh, screw it. Send it over and I'll see if I can do anything.

Ooooh~ Thank you!

...I can't comment on that, I still suck at rigging and stuff. *Shrug*
Not a good start though.

Meh, I'm just rambling, really. Wasn't expecting anyone to help.

Also, trivia about this model: The hat and the actual model of Naoto-kun are two separate objects. I had to position her hat onto her head myself. Heh.

...You're making me want to play P4 again, but I don't have the game anymore.
So cruel...

Muhahahaha. It's a good game, I'm not surprised.

Anyway, already running into complications, sadly.



This is as T-Posed at Naoto-kun comes, and when I add a skeleton to her and T-Pose her that way, her model distorts in different areas. Hmmm...

Heeeey, it's Naoto! I can think of one person that's going to be happy for this... Good luck to you!

Someone who's gonna be happy about this? I could take a wild guess. Heheh.

*Subs* Might want to T-Pose that before you attempt to rig her over a character. But good luck, nonetheless!

Yeah, I plan to. There's actually another model of her that's already T-Posed. I just used that one for the preview because it was already in the pose I needed it to be in.

That's right, I'm going to start trying to make my own PSAs! I'm still new to this, as you can imagine, so I'm gonna need some help along the way, but I'm gonna try! I took a class in animating, so I got that down, I hope. Anyway, the first PSA I'm going to try is everyone's favorite blue-haired Investigation Team member, the 2000 IQ Killjoy Detective...

Naoto Shirogane! I have never seen a Persona 4 (or Persona in general) PSA, and I aim to try and make one! And I shall get started... as soon as I figure out how to animate her. Seriously, as far as Maya is concerned, she's one big model. No bones to move. So that's an issue.

...PITKACHU IT IS!

Pitkachu for top tier plz nerf

That's basically what it is...
Well, not just taken directly from his Smash 4 moveset, mostly just inspiration from it.
Aside from the specials, I'm totally stealing the specials since they are SOOOO much more awesome.

As long as he has his SSB4 specials, he could have the rest of his moveset cloned from Pikachu for all I care. Haha.
