Rachel (DOA5U) in Gmod already, but needs to be fixed up - Developers

I was finally able to convince Gagem to release one of his models for being used beyond just "D.I.D" fetish pictures: Rachel from the Ninja Gaiden series, as she appears in DOA5: Ultimate. Unfortunetley the one he gave me is really bugged up. Not sure if he did this on purpose or if there's really something wrong with it. When I spawn it, it appears as just a head, and the head just suddenly rolls to the side and dissapears. On top of that, the face is all distorted, possibly a faceposer error? Here's the link he gave me: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/1z50uacryz639nf/DOA5+Rachel.rar[/url] was totally going to use it for a Ninja Gaiden themed shot, too... Here's how the model is supposed to look: [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/deadoralive/images/2/21/DOA5U_Rachel_Ryu.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/deadoralive/images/3/3f/DOA5U_Rachel_1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/deadoralive/images/f/f8/DOA5U_Rachel_Momiji.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.trueachievements.com/customimages/018547.jpg[/IMG]

Is this another one of those pirated gmod users?

Nope, my copy's legitimate, bought it in 2009. No idea why it would do this. Can someone else test out the model to confirm it's not just me?

Tell you what: Presuming that [url=http://boobsonx.deviantart.com/art/Rachel-Dead-or-Alive-5-Ultimate-404250573]this link here[/url] works in about 12 hours' time, I'll just port Rachel to SFM myself. ETA to getting her fully working in SFM with semi-decent materials, full finger- and face-posing, is 2 hours, once I start. It is currently 12:50AM for me, so I am expecting to get this done by 3:00PM. That way you and I will know that it works properly and is of a decent quality. Then we can figure something out for getting her into Gmod (I don't bother compiling for Gmod; too much work goes into something I'd never use). As to why I decided to do this on a whim: It's been a while since I've ported something from XNALara, longer yet since I released something publicly, and several times longer since I released anything here. I feel like I should be useful here, even if people will question the nature of the port.

Oh wow. That's...very generous of you! Thanks! -Also I just remembered, When I tried to spawn the Rachel model that Gagem gave me, my framerate dropped big-time, and the "Something is creating script errors" warning appeared. I dunno, maybe his models only really work for his rig somehow?

gmod4ever, thank you for your comment and maybe one day, well see a model of her comes to gmod by you.

So I had other things to do today. However, I did get some progress: [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8416055/DeleteMe/Doa5u_Rachel_WIP1.jpg[/img] As you can see, her eyes are buggered. Squiddy and I are currently working on finding out why. We've exhausted all of the common problems. Beyond that, I need to finalize the texture problems (her legs are the wrong texture currently), fix the faceposing (her eyelashes don't move with her eyelids), collapse down the bones (she has 209 active bones right now; the Orange Box has a limit of 128. She is compiled to SFM right now), and then add jigglebones wherever they need to be. Getting her into Garry's Mod can be someone else's problem. I don't fuck with collision models anymore. They always end badly.

Looks amazing so far, can't wait!

man nice work dude, when i downlode the model that was on this page, i was freeked out of how it was only the head. like it was cut off and was given with no body. is she going to have skin group and can inflate or deflate her chest ?just want to know. oh and i see the part about faceposing being worked on. so just the other two are eyeposing and hand posing.

[QUOTE=skull412;42376421]man nice work dude, when i downlode the model that was on this page, i was freeked out of how it was only the head. like it was cut off and was given with no body.[/QUOTE] I'm glad that it isn't just me having problems with Gagem's model. Now I know the problem is with the model itself.

yup

My name has been spoken three times, I suppose I should post now. For those of you who don't know Ryu-Gi has been a huge pain in the ass for me on these forums. Name calling, posting my pics, hatehatehate. I know there are a few of you that share these sentiments but he's been the worst. I've also seen him do questionable shit using multiple accounts. Simply put, I just don't like the guy. So when he had the audacity to ask me for Rachel on my DA, I gave him Rachel alright. [IMG]http://oi42.tinypic.com/2ecov0g.jpg[/IMG] Sorry that he dragged the FP community into this prank but that first sentence made everything totally worth it. "I was finally able to convince Gagem..." Glorious. I know that at some point I pissed in Rinfect's cheerios too because he hates me although I've never even talked to him, so that 'dumb' rating he gave the OP was the cherry on top. Thank you both. And it wasn't all that bad right? Looks like you all are getting a Rachel model for SFM now :quagmire: Anyway, since Ryu-Gi forgot to post one of my pics this time I'll do it for him.

i have seen a costume of rachel in dead or alive 5 ultimate that looked like this [IMG]http://images.wikia.com/deadoralive/images/6/63/Ngs2-dlc-rachel.jpg[/IMG] is it going to be with this model as a skingroup ?

Yay Rinfect posted! 1/10 though, you suck at this =/

It's ok, I'll always have Ryu-gi <3

(sighs) To be quite honest, Mr. Gagem, my first thought was that you were pulling my leg when I saw the model you had given me. But, part of me wanted to believe in the best of humanity and all that, so I decided to believe in the idea that it had simply been a mistake. A theory which has been, with some pointed aggression, proven false. Overall, I'm not mad, just disappointed. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, sir. That was never my intention. I never really meant the things I said about you in the past, I was just covering up tracks at the time. Looking on the bright side of things though, we have someone who decided to step up to the plate in your stead; "Gmod4Ever". Now there's a person I can rate "heart" legitimately and without any hint of irony. But thank you for taking out of your own precious time, just for me.

I thought it in bad taste at the time. I'm aware of the types of things FP tends to be less tolerant of, and chose not to throw in something that would further aggravate my somewhat rocky relationship with this board. Also, Rinfect, I think I should point out that I never meant you any offense either when I gave the NMH models to another instead of you; but starting off a request by calling someone a "fage" only to claim that you were referring to the brand of greek yogurt is hardly a mature way to go about things. But I forgive you, and hope we can stop this little crusade that's been going against me lately with the constant rating my posts as "dumb" regardless of the content.

[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;42389587]But thank you for taking out of your own precious time, just for me.[/QUOTE] A 5 minute model/texture edit is a small price to pay. The pleasure was all mine :wink:

sorry to disturb but is there going to be a model coming to gmod ? just want to know

Right, so, I just want to ask now. Am I wasting my time with this port? I would prefer a straight answer from Gagem. Because, you know, if someone else already has a port of at least the quality I'd come through with, and it's going to be released, I don't want to waste my time reinventing the wheel here.

now that what i like gmod4ever. what we can do is wait and if did not happen then you can try working on her.

I just mind my own business on my DA page and these people find me and I've told them over and over that my ports are tailored specifically for my poses but they just don't get it. They aren't release worthy by any means. I still need to learn finger posing and get better at face flexes.

[QUOTE=Gagem;42390486]I still need to learn finger posing and get better at face flexes.[/QUOTE] Fingerposing is literally one of the simplest parts of porting. All you have to do is rename the fingerbones in accordance with the Valvebiped conventions: "Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_FingerXY" Where X is 0-4, Y is 0-2, and Z is L or R. with the first joint of the thumb being 00 and the last joint of the pinky being 42. If that's confusing, just load up any default Source model and look at the bone names, or look at this chart. [code] Your hands must first be properly labeled for Fingerposer to detect them: Left hand - Valvebiped.Bip01_L_Hand Right hand - Valvebiped.Bip01_R_Hand Thumb base - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger00 Thumb joint1 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger01 Thumb joint2 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger02 Index base - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger10 Index joint1 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger11 Index joint2 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger12 Middle base - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger20 Middle joint1 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger21 Middle joint2 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger22 Ring base - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger30 Ring joint1 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger31 Ring joint2 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger32 Pinky base - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger40 Pinky joint1 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger41 Pinky joint2 - Valvebiped.Bip01_Z_Finger42 [/code]

there you go gagem, you getting help on finger posing.

I suppose tomorrow I can take a break from my current projects and just try to finish this one up. I've had someone give me a suggestion of how to fix the eyes, and worse comes to worst, I can just delete the eyes and add my own mesh for them. Then it's just a matter of reassigning the leg texture (arbitrarily easy), figuring out why the hell her eyelashes don't move with her eyelids (less arbitrary), and then using the Weight Transfer tool like a motherfucker and collapse down the unnecessary bones - like the 10 bones per breast she has. Seriously. Ten bones. For one breast. It's crazy. Beyond that, it's a matter of jiggleboning everything that needs to move and then she'd be ready for SFM. Then I can find someone willing to get her into gmod.

[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;42390917]Seriously. Ten bones. For one breast. It's crazy..[/QUOTE] Wow. They take their boobs seriously. I just use one bone per boob D= I'm sure you'll figure it out though.

Thank you Squiddy =D I just need to learn how to weigh them properly now. [IMG]http://oi39.tinypic.com/rvdb4j.jpg[/IMG]

well look at that, gagem got the finger posing working. :dance: maybe after that, comes the face part and maybe one day you can release your models.

Out of curiosity, hw is this going so far?

Been doing other things. I'll try to force myself to finish this tomorrow, seeing as I've finished all the university work I needed to today. Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of something right now, so it's kinda hard to break away. If I can force myself to do this before I do anything else tomorrow, though, then it should get done. :v:

gmod4ever take your time dude, dont force your self and then you will miss something. like faceposing, figner or eye posing. or worse, a part would be missing from the body. another thing i want to know is if she is going to have a skingroup of her office costume.
