Hey guys,

I'm just trying to import some .mesh files with the plugin on 2.8, but nothing works. Using latest version (I think) of XNALaraMesh.

Here's the error log: (I've expunged my name, obviously)

Is this something a new XNALara patch will fix, or am I screwed? Is there any solution at all? Help much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Now that the beta has been released, it would be nice to support it!

All of the legacy materials stuff has been deleted in 2.8, so this might require larger changes...

What the reason of inverting the normal map? it well literally inverting the normal vector which causing weird shading in eevee

and here's the result if i bypass the invert node

as you can see bypassing the invert normal node giving me correct normal direction.

I'm just wondering why the normal have to be inverted from the start.

It imports few stuff but many stuff is missing

Not sure if this is a mistake.
Isn't the Specular texture supposed to connect to the Specular Input of the Principled Shader Node?
I've seen this happen with most XPS models.
Let me know if you need more examples.

Hi!
I'm receiving the following error after I installed the addon:

This happens to 1.8.4 to 1.8.7

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

we need multiple ascii file import and we need to be the mesh inside blender have the same file name, for example if i import ASCII file with name ( car_hood.ascii ) i will get inside blender the name ( submesh_0.007 ) so we need the mesh inside blender to be the same file name please.
EDIT: and can you please add an option for scaling the object with import, because some objects have a very small scale and when i try to import them to blender with that small scale the mesh messed up.

Hello, thank you for making this great addon. I'm still fairly new to Blender so it's possible I may have overlooked something.
I'm using Blender 2.78.5 Hash: f9963f2 on Windows 7 64bit

In Blender Cycles, after importing XPS models to Blender, and converting materials to Cycles, the transparent textures become white in the Material Viewport Shading and sometimes in the Rendered Viewport Shading.

Here is a recent XPS model I've tested: https://xcrofty.deviantart.com/art/The-King-of-Fighters-XIV-Mai-678059999

Also, I wasn't sure if I should make this a separate topic, but will XPStools incorporate Blender's new Principled Shader in the future?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thanks again for making this addon.

Hello, I looked through Issues and saw that naming imported objects after their respective files is not a desired way by the developer. But it still can be quite tedious to rename every object when working with a lot of files.
So I wanna propose a compromise, so to speak. Instead of renaming objects, which can be problematic as per the developer, the add-on should name the collection it creates after the file that was imported.
I hope this solution is compelling enough as it would've helped me A LOT.
P.S. To be clear this is a feature request, since I'm not a coder/developer. Thanks!

For some specific material (emmissive reflection upon standard material), the cycles converter creates some wrong links between the shaders:

(complete node setup: http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=117798)
The normalmap gets completely ignored. If rewired to the following layout, the material looks good (and works :)

(complete node setup: http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=117799)

Keep up the good work!

Sorry for reopening this issue. (I don't know if this is the correct way to reopen)
Do you mind taking a look at these 2 XPS models?
https://grummel83.deviantart.com/art/Jack-Combi-Suit-XPS-696968363
https://xxkammyxx.deviantart.com/art/Isabella-Valentine-Default-Soul-Calibur-IV-476050511

'Connect Bones' option in v1.8.0 appears to be working correctly with some of the previous models I've tested.
However, I just came across that Jack and Isabella XPS models, and it appears to ignore the 'Connect Bones'/'Connect All' options. It might be some sort of mistake the authors made with the armature, but I'm not sure.
If it helps you in anyway, I will try looking for other XPS models that might misbehave the same way.

Blender 2.79

Also, thank you for recent update. It makes the workflow much faster. Greatly appreciated.

After importing a XPS model, converting materials to Cycles, and then switching Viewport Shading to Rendered, Blender crashes to desktop.

• https://gfycat.com/DeepKaleidoscopicLarva

This happened with only 1 model:

• https://www.deviantart.com/mjump/art/Soul-Calibur-2-Ivy-332527666

I am trying to understand the point of an expression like

version_mayor <= 1 and version_minor <= 12

Which of these (major, minor) is supposed to be “old” and which is “new”?

(0, 13)
(1, 12)
(1, 13)

Perhaps the check should be

(version_mayor, version_minor) <= (1, 12)

The option to 'Connect Bones' in the XPS import menu doesn't appear to do anything.
I think I started using XPS Tools last year and I don't remember seeing bones connect to each other after toggling that option.

Haven't seen any errors popup in the console.

hi,
I'm Brendon, I help out with Blender addons & would like to ask you about your materials converter.

I've been testing out your materials converter & import & really like it. your conversion works quite well on many other formats also. I would be interested in replacing the current materials converter in Blender addons_contrib with something very similar to yours. Would you be interested in developing this area more? Are you able to separate the materials conversion out into it's own folder?
My concept script is here: https://github.com/meta-androcto/blenderpython/tree/master/scripts/addons_extern/AF_materials_specials
In this I'm updating the materials utils addon in blender & have made an initial switch & added a few things. I would like to submit this to Blender soonish & would prefer not to leave out the conversion. (current addons_contrib version would not make it.)
Thanks. Let me know what you think & keep up the good work. Your importer works better than most in blender also. :)

Most of the bipedal XPS models that I've used in Blender have the following bone naming format:
leg left toes
leg left ankle
leg left knee
leg left thigh
leg left thigh twist
arm left shoulder 1
arm left shoulder 2
arm left shoulder twist
arm left elbow
arm left wrist
arm left finger 1a
arm left finger 1b
arm left finger 1c

Blender has support for mirroring bone values, if the bone names are same and using the following suffixes:
bone.L bone.R
bone_L bone_R
bone_Left bone_Right

Ex:

• legToes.L legToes.R
• armFinger1a_L armFinger1a_R
• armWrist_Left armWrist_Right

Not only does this make bone editing easier, but it also makes mirroring pose values easier.

Can you add an option that will rename all the Left/Right bones to use the suggested suffixes above?

I don't know if this suggestion is possible. Maybe this is something only the XPS model creator can do?
Some XPS models are imported with an A-pose by default.
Setting up an IK rig can be a little difficult for a character with an A-pose.
It would be convenient if both feet are flat on the ground, which should make bone rotation/pole targets a bit more predictable.

Model with A-pose (You tested this 1 before): https://xcrofty.deviantart.com/art/The-King-of-Fighters-XIV-Mai-678059999

Model with T-pose (Almost T-pose/Feet flat on ground): https://lezisell.deviantart.com/art/Batman-Arkham-Knight-Catwoman-90s-XPS-ONLY-719615216

If you need more information, let me know.

Good job, congratulations.

One small problem I ran into was that on Linux the texture filenames are not imported correctly (presumably also on mac). I did some small changes on the read_xxx_xps.py files, so they always use ntpath.basename. This should work since XNALara is for windows only. maybe some equivalent correction should be made to the exporter, but for a quick hack I am done. Importing of XNALara files on my Linux box now works like a charm. Thank you for this excellent work.

I would like to send you this modification, so you can made the appropriate changes if you wish (maybe a high grade importer could be included in the official blender release).

Sadly the diff code is not printed correctly. basically I did:

On both read_ascii_xps.py and read_bin_xps.py
Add a import ntpath

On read_ascii_xps.py
Change line
textureFile = os.path.basename(ascii_ops.readString(file))
to
textureFile = ntpath.basename(ascii_ops.readString(file))

On read_bin_xps.py
Change line
textureFile = os.path.basename(readFilesString(file))
to
textureFile = ntpath.basename(readFilesString(file))

As the title says, here is a screenshot of the issue:

I'm getting these error messages when I try to tick the add-on in the blender preferences menu. This is Blender 2.7.2 for mac. Any clues for a fix?

The bin_ops.roundToMultiple routine can be shortened as follows:

Actually, given that it is only used to round to multiples of xps_const.ROUND_MULTIPLE, which is 4, it could be simplified even further.

I gather the 2.79 branch is still supposed to be compatible with Blender 2.79.x. It isn’t quite, since you seem to have included a change specific to Blender 2.8. The following patch fixes this:

If I import an XPS model into blender 2.8, then immediately export to OBJ, the new obj file looses all its textures

Also, if I import an XPS model into 2.8, then export to XPS, the new XPS file also has no textures

The 2.7x version seems to work properly, think it is a 2.8 specific issue.

Hey, this was something I overlooked when I posted a similar feature request awhile back.
For common 3D formats (OBJ, DAE, FBX, etc.), by default, they appear to import into the active or last selected collection in the Blender Outliner, which can be useful during large projects with multiple collections within each other.

Is it possible to add an option in the import menu to import the XPS model or XPS model collection into the active collection?
Not sure what should be the default behavior, but I'm just throwing some ideas.

i just wanted to notify, after the recent blender 2.8 beta release, none of the xps models are importing correctly, which gave me this error.

I've been having this problem in 2.8 where when I import a stage, a lot of it has sort of a transparent look

This is how it actually looks like:

Currently, XPS Tools will not import poses for the bones that have been renamed via the 'XPS to Blender' option.

If you can add support for the renamed bones, that would be great.
Examples:
'arm left shoulder 1' --> 'arm side shoulder 1.L'
'arm left shoulder 2' --> 'arm side shoulder 2.L'
'arm left elbow' --> 'arm side elbow.L'
'arm left wrist' --> 'arm side wrist.L
'leg left thigh' --> 'leg side thigh.L'
'leg left knee' --> 'leg side knee.L'
'leg left ankle' --> 'leg side ankle.L'
'leg left toes' --> 'leg side toes.L'
etc...

How does one fix this?

As can be inferred by the log, a single mesh imports before the addon aborts due to being unable to read some user preferences. I checked and found that for reasons unknown to me, the user preferences panel is indeed failing.

Any suggestions? This error occurs with the master as well, not only v1.9.0.

Im getting en error when i try to add it on my blender 2.79

Blender 2.80 Beta 0fe5a789837 (Windows 64bit)
XPS Tools V1.9.0.

I came across this XPS model today and tested it with Blender 2.80 Beta:

• https://www.deviantart.com/oo-fil-oo/art/BLOOD-WAVES-PLAYER-FEMALE-DIRTY-775566923
• https://gfycat.com/HandsomeIdenticalIndianrockpython
• The model appears to be missing some faces in LookDev mode.

The model appears correctly in Blender 2.79.

When I try importing this model: https://www.deviantart.com/jc-starstorm/art/Starship-Cockpit-592403166 I seem to end up with no objects created.

I got these black textures all the time (with many models)

https://img2.picload.org/image/wrwdgpg/materialerror.jpg

The meshes are seperat so we could maybe delete them or hide them on the conversation process

https://img5.picload.org/image/wrwdgwd/materialerror_2.jpg

Or at least dont use the normal for the diffuse shader since this is causing it to be black :/

https://picload.org/image/wrwdagw/materialerror3.jpg

Is there any way to remove them on conversation or something i can do to avoid them? It is very frustrating to remove them all the time :(

I hope oyu can help me and anyone else having this problem <3 You did a great job and let me know if I can help you fixing things :)

Couple of things:

• UTF-8 is the default encoding in Python 3.
• Most of the code marked as “PEP-8” compliant is not in fact so -- note the recommendations on naming conventions for class, function and variable names https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#naming-conventions.

hi, guys

i cant enable XPSTools v1.9.1 in blender 2.8 beta i got Keyerror

I came across this model that has a bunch of pose files:
https://www.deviantart.com/ysc976/art/KOFXIV-Yuri-break-cloth-774081742

All the pose files appear to make an animation sequence.
Do you have plans, in the future, to import multiple pose files as an animation?

Thanks

I can't seem to find how to get this thing in the new blender

TODO cycles material converter

Per Blender's coding style: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Py/Scripts/Guidelines/Addons#Coding_style

I can do it if you don't mind.

in converted materials you first have the mix shader with transparency, then add the emission

it would work better if you added the emission to the diffuse first and then applied the transparency to the result, so it also fades out the emissive parts as expected

Hey, happy holidays.
Unfortunately, I don't have an older 2.80 beta nightly build, so I will have to wait till the Blender devs finalize the API again.

In the meantime, I do have another feature request:

I don't know if this is a limitation, but Import XPS/Poses don't appear in the Undo History.

when i try to import the model (like i would with MMD or FBX) it wont show the X2M file like it would with mmd and fbx....

When converting materials to cycles, a color mix node without any functionality gets added inbetween each texture and the next node, which unnecessarily enlarges the node tree and also may slightly increase rendertime (if many materials get converted)...

[meaning the selected ones]

This may not be an issue but an intended functionality, but i see no other way than opening an issue to become clear about that.

Thanks for that great addon!
