Replacing player's body

Tue Jul 21, 2020 12:26 am

I would like for example for player "A" assign player's "B" body. Face remains the same, only replace the body. What is the easiest way to do that? Is here any tutorial on that? Thanks.

The way a player's body looks is a combination of Body 3d model + body proportions (in the appearance_info.rdat) + accessory/ clothing fit (can be edit in the appearance_info.rdat) + muscle definition (in the appearance_info.rdat)

you will also have to consider that a players shoulders and limb length may look off if the head size is too big or too small.

As far as the 3D editing in blender goes, there are 2 good options
You can transfer meshdata from one player to another player to copy their body. This is the same method we use to convert headshapes from past games, the process is much quicker if you are just doing body shapes.
Another method would be to do shrinkwrap.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to provide any videos or images but I know there are shrinkwrap tutorials on youtube.
As far as editing the Appearance_info.rdat file, I have seen a few threads discuss it before but they are scattered.

Anyway hope this helps a little

Here's a shrinkwrap tutorial from Dee4Three that still applies.

I just want like copy - paste body. But copying just appearance_info.rdat into other png.iff doesn't helps
