About this video
This video shows you how to use the lslib tool to convert models from GR2 to dae. And then how to edit an existing hair in blender 2.79.
Follow instructions on below links to install the add-ons needed to import/export GR2 models in blender
Blender Import Tool: https://github.com/LaughingLeader-DOS2-Mods/dos2de_collada_importer
Blender Export Tool: https://github.com/LaughingLeader-DOS2-Mods/dos2de_collada_exporter
lslib: https://github.com/Norbyte/lslib/releases
Will make a new video when I work out why my custom Braid worked for Gnome but is not working for all races/genders
Also because of making the hair for Gnomes it does showcase the Playable Gnomes mod
Mini Text Tutorial I wrote on the Larian Discord:
- Convert the gr2 to dae with the Islib tool
- Install the export script and point it to the divine.exe in the lslib folder
- Import as collada in blender 2.79
- Make any edits to the mesh
- If more than one LOD (level of detail) continue to step 6 + 7 if not skip to step 8
- Ctrl + L with all meshes selected and your edited mesh being the main mesh and select Object Data to make all LODs look the same.
- Add the decimate modifier to the lower meshes decreasing by 0.1 per LOD and hit apply
- Export with DOV2 script
For new meshes match object name, skeleton bone names, vertex colour and uv names otherwise it will get issues on export.
Sadly some meshes when joined still get issues on export even when following these steps, once I figure out why I will make a new
tutorial on making mash ups of hair different hair parts and creating new meshes.
Okay worked out a workaround fix will make a video as soon as possible:
- make all edits, or mashups
- export as dae not GR2
- start new blend file (this step is VITAL, brings up same errors if not a new blend file)
- import your dae
- export with blender gr2 tool
This worked to fix some of my dae's that were not originally converting with lslib and/or the export tool in blender
no idea why starting new blend file and reimporting the dae fixes the issue but it does
