Blender Not Exporting Facial Hair

Tue Sep 01, 2020 3:26 pm

Hello everyone it's been a while, I was a pretty active modder about 10 years ago, just very recently bought 2k20 and tried figuring out how to create a CF for this gen. The guides here have been super helpful especially TGsoGood, but a lot of info are kind of spread out, buried deep in different threads on different years of the game, so sometimes it's just hard to find stuff.

Anyway, back on topic, so I've pretty much done everything I need. I initially had trouble with exporting hair, but I fixed that by downloading the 2K19 version of the importer/exporter tool in Blender. But now I've run into a similar problem,but with facial hair and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've tried exporting in both 2k Importer and 2k19 importer, but for some reason both don't save the changes I make in blender. I tried editing hair again and that still works. I'd appreciate any help :D

1 reason could be you're attempting to export while in edit mode or another could be if you have another hihead.scene file loaded into blender. Blender will only export the scene file named "hihead". If it's named hihead2, etc it won't export.

Thanks for the reply. I've double checked those, I always go to Object mode before exporting.

This is the case for facial hair, whatever changes you make does not show in game.

Hi NBC, I've downloaded quite a few of your CFs they're really good.

So is there absolutely nothing I can do about facial hair? Is it just to find a different one? or would it work if I use external files/iff instead?

Thx for support, yeah I suggest you to swap a different facial hair. I guess the issue is in the facial hair tangent file, you can try tweak the coordinates see if it makes any changes.

Try Blender 2.79 variants with the appropriate importer/exporter.

I had problems saving facial hair changes for newer versions but it worked for 2.79.

I'm using 2.79. Is there anything else you do besides edit the .model in blender? You don't do anything with the tangent file?
