This sounds far too adventurous for a guy who just wants to edit a spoiler away from a car. Right at the moment, there is no way past ZModeler 3, and if i had previously extracted the geometries, i had to clutter them back together, then import in ZModeler, assign properties in it, etc.
#ZMODELER 3 LEARN HOW TO#
Well, so far the imports of geometries were done, but there is still a question, how to export the modified meshes back to GTA 5 native file format, the XFT. (My respect to Aru, creator of SparkIV)įor importing GTA V cars, i found a handy WFT/XFT to DFF tool (made by DK22Pac), which allowed me to export GTA 5 geometries to Renderware DFF, which i could import with Maxorators Renderware import plugin.
#ZMODELER 3 LEARN SOFTWARE#
I still appreciate the effort of Oleg, its creator, but think, that it could be done a bit more, if the software was Open Source.Īs previously, i became accustomed with possibilities of Blender, i desperately searched for solutions for importing game files and stumbled on SparkIV editor tool, which offers a possibility to convert meshes to Valve SMD, thus allowing me to import the meshes with Blender Source Tools. In case of ZModeler, GTA IV and V require two separate ZModeler versions and two separate renewable licenses, not to mention, that its interface and possibilities are somewhat extravagant and, for example, doesn’t support keyboard shortcuts and have no render engine. Autodesk also do not offer retail licenses of this version anymore. In case of 3DS Max, there are GIMS Plugins, (made by 3Doomer from scratch, hat off) available for, but they only seem to work with 3DS Max 2012, the trial of which is only avaiable on shady sites or not available at all. So i tried other software first, but stumbled across some obstacles… Many people have already created beautiful and fun modifications for these games, but i haven’t seen anyone using Blender yet. My dream is to write a import and export plugin for GTA 4 and 5 models for purpose of PC modifications, because i’m fascinated by the possibilities of expanding the game world of GTA. I’d like to tell you about a project i’d like to start and help i need with.
