The Witcher 2 Models

[Ladoo]

ok, so the bones in fact are all there but like CMihai said they need to be parented. The bones are all positioned in the correct spots but they are not connected. After playing around for a while and trying to find a tutorial on how to do it, I just couldnt connect them. In case this information isnt descriptive enough, I attached a picture below to demonstrate what I mean.
Thanks

Why not make this script for 2.5x versions? It doesn't look like you need to modify it a lot, just add "=" after "print" and I think there was something else... Can't remember it now though. Anyway script still doesn't work. When I press "Show what w2ent file has" nothing displays.

[CMihai]

Make sure you selected the dir's right, works fine for me. Anyway an updated version should follow up soon.

Thanks Szkaradek123, everything is working great so far. Just a question, are you working on anything for the bones? It takes a lot of time to parent all the bones on the models I open and on top of that when I'm done they still need a lot of tweaking that I am not capable of doing (having never done animation before). To be honest, I dont even mind parenting the bones even though its tedious, its just the strange connections they make that I have an issue with. The joints bend in ways they should not (especially roll joints such as the elbows) and there is quite a bit of mesh stretching going on when ever I move them. I really hope that Im not wishing for too much. Either way I want to thank you for want you've done so far. Keep up the great work!

Yea some of the have forearm/elbowroll used, depends, but as a quick note, you can use one bone structure for most of the characters, for Geralt of example I used only one, for like 5-6 models and works fine, I also did Iorweth minutes ago and same, worked fine, so just save the .blend for reuse, the only one that didn't worked so far was Letho, and ofc Zoltan wich both of them have a different scale, but as far I seen, it should work for Letho also, guess I just missed something, should work fine.

About the arms I'm doing this way

->Bicep2
-->Bicep
-->ShoulderRoll
--->Forearm/Elbowroll
----->Forearmroll1
------->Forearmroll2
--------->Handroll
----------->Hand

And from now you shouldn't have any troubles. Same for legs

->Thigh
-->LegRoll1
-->LegRoll2
---->Shin
------>KneeRoll
-------->Foot
---------->Toe

did you guys get a cease and desist order or something? how come all progress has stopped?

[megakoresh]

I would really like to ask the same.

Hi all

First of all, nice script. I have a few questions:

1. What is exactly the "UNPACKED GAME DIR"? I have unpacked pack0.dzip with Gibbed's RED Tool to a folder. I set this folder as the "UNPACKED GAME DIR" but i get an error. The other folder is ok: I can see .w3ent files. What should i do?

2. Should i use the "chrrox bms script" for unpacking pack0.dzip. If yes, where can i dowload it?

3. Can i use the script and Blender to export the models? I don't like TW1 Triss model , so I would like to use the Witcher 2 Triss model in the Witcher 1 (if it's possible xD).

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Hi,

Does anybody know where *.w2mesh files in Witcher 2 are? Aren't they coded in the *.w2ents?

Sorry for my noob question, but I can't find solution myself

Thanks

[CMihai]

Depends, not all .w2mesh are into w2ent files, but if the w2ent contains w2mesh the importer will open the package and you can select those.

[odrin]

hi, are you still working on this? is it possible to import back to w2ent file?
