Combining models

[Alric_the_mad]

First of all, i did try searching and google-ing to find this.

I want to combine two (or more) dats all into one model. For example, the halo, wings, and "shaded glasses". How might one go about doing something like this? (if the example is infeasable, please lend me a better one.)

If you could point me to something I may have missed, that's even better.

Re: Combining models

I asked that a long long time ago, everyone said that such thing is impossible. (I don't know why, probably because it are multiple animations for the equipment?)

Re: Combining models

Yes, this is possible through VRS by importing the various models, and then uniting them under a single DAT "Container".

Certain conflicts arise however when dealing with pieces of equipment that omit certain body parts; Helmets that remove hair or obscure the face such as the IM Armet, and Crimson Leggings, for example.

However, with enough foresight a valid combination should be clear. Just be sure to note that the "Container" the meshes and textures are placed into will determine the special omission effect on certain other pieces of armor.

I like the word certain.

Edit: Also, how does one go about getting fancy name/title stuff? In the forums I mean.

I always wanted to change my shiva to FFX shiva for a try, but never figured out how to actually replace them (since shiva FFX was in obj format, which is very hard to import to vsr which seem to only accept dats)

Re: Combining models

Ah, I see. Thank you very much Taskmage.

While I know it does sound kind of impossible, I have done it before; Ask Tatha-kitten.

yeh, he did, he put shields in on all the polearm -> sword conversions. it's pretty sweet, but i would've prefered the swords without. ^_^ Because i want to use them on proper swords some time.


but i digress from the topic at hand. It can be done.
