Import model from CoD4 using Tom's Xmodel Utils

[Mitch]

I am currently using a maya script to copy the translation of the bones from cod4 and then update cod2 bones translation. (the model isn't binded yet to the skin)

		print("setAttr j_head.translateX " + getAttr("j_head.translateX") + ";\n");
print("setAttr j_head.translateY " + getAttr("j_head.translateY") + ";\n");
print("setAttr j_head.translateZ " + getAttr("j_head.translateZ") + ";\n"); 
	

I made a forum to change the bone names to the way cod2 uses them. (j_mainroot => J_MainRoot) It is made in java, but it is easily converted to an exe. Also the code above can be generated using the java program.

Example for restoring entire face bones.

		j_head
j_eye_lid_bot_le
j_eye_lid_bot_ri
j_eyeball_le
j_eyeball_ri
j_cheek_le
j_cheek_ri
j_brow_ri
j_levator_ri
j_jaw
j_levator_le
j_brow_le
j_neck
j_eye_lid_top_ri
j_eye_lid_top_le 
	

I am at the moment manual replacing these bones in the paint/bind maya script (the binding script that Tom's Xmodel Utils uses requires maya 8.5)

		j_knee_bulge_le/ri => J_HipTwist_LE/RI (= wrong, probably needs to be J_Hip_LE/RI or J_Knee_LE/RI)
j_mainroot => J_Spine1 (or keep j_mainroot depends what works better)
back_low => J_Spine2
back_mid => J_Spine3
j_shoulderraise_le => joint1
j_shoulderraise_ri => joint2
j_coatfront_le => J_MainRoot
j_coatfront_ri => J_MainRoot
j_coatrear_le => J_MainRoot
j_coatrear_ri => J_MainRoot

When you export the model to .ma it also gives you the images. Copy these images to cod2/images.
(i renamed _sas_ct_bodies_sp_spec-rgb&sa_765bd06c to sas_ct_bodies_sp_spec etc.)

In the names you can see _spec, _nml and _col which means specular, normal and color map. Now open asset manager. Make a new material call it like the names in hypershade. In my case it would be sas_ct_bodies_sp. Set surfacetype to none and add the images you added in cod2/images for the right types. And now convert them.

Thank you so much! That helped me and i know now how to make it!

Mitch, i need really now the GDT file (from the model from model exporter) because idk with what the image is connected.

Please help me!

save the gdt as the name of the image

EDIT: make your own thread

This is what the exporter generated. I used for myself the materialType world phong. They use model phong. Does it matter which one you use?
(Also the eyes use blend and not replace)

The generated GDTs by Tom's Xmodel Utils: GDTs.rar

Also i am now using the legs from cod4 and head. And the other parts are the cod2 bones. This fixes my leg problem with the model, but now i got a paint problem with the spines. (something i am trying to get fixed)
