HELP: I can't add hair to my cf!

[Gigabyte]

I'm pretty new to this stuff, so I'm gonna take things one by one.

I'm trying to edit a cyberface; I want to put braids on its head. I took Allen Iverson's braids from png0005, and when I tried to append it to my cf using Blender, it worked. I exported the 3D face as an N2KM file, but when I tried to import it to the original cf with the NBA 2KX Mod Tool, the latter had an error window saying something like:

Code: Select all

java.io.IOException: Model Part is Not Matching
Resource: 64
Import: 280

I remember seeing a thread wherein it's said that you need to match the number of vertices from your original cf and your edited one. I'm just not sure why that is the case. And another thing: how do some editors place masks on some player cf's? Doesn't that modify the number of vertices the 3D model has? I know it's possible, and I'm planning to use the same technique to add the braids to my cyberface.

Thanks for any answers. Cheers.

you need to do what you did, except instead of adding Iversons braids to your CF, removed iverson's face and replace it with your headshape in his file. Then import over your textures to make it right again.

Just to be sure: you're saying I need to add the face to the braids instead of adding the braids to the face?

Yep

Yep

Do I just import the "head" layer or every one of 'em like the eyeballs and headbands and stuff?

I see. Thanks a bunch, JaoSming. I'll see if it works.

Jao, I need some help here. Apparently, when I import the new 3D model with the NBA 2KX Mod Tool, it doesn't replace everything. Looking at the 3D rendering using the 3DM Mod Tool, the first offset in the second panel shows the new cf model, while the second one shows the original. Is that normal? Or is there something I overlooked?

EDIT: Is it possible to import the 3D models using the 3DM Mod Tool?

[JaoSming]

yes you can do the stuff with the 3dm tool
this is why I dont do CF shit, i dont know it all because its so inconsistent

I've seen your tutorial vids, and I can't seem to figure out how exactly you import the 3D stuff with the 3DM Mod Tool. How do you do it?
