Popular Post TheDoctor Posted January 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hello Everyone and welcome to my Blender tutorial Series for Jedi Academy! This tutorial uses the program Blender, and the tutorial series will be split up into several different parts, to help you learn and use Blender with Jedi Academy, for both porting and Frankensteining different models. Steps to install and set up Blender: Install Blender. You can download Blender from here. (I personally use version 2.78c, but you can use other versions if you like) Download Mr. Wonko's GLM Add-On for Blender, for versions 2.64 and above. Open Blender and go to File/ User Preferences. Then go to the Add-ons tab and click "install from file" at the bottom. Search for where you downloaded Mr. Wonko's GLM Add-on and select it, then press "install from file" at the top. To Enable the add-on, simply tick the 'Import-Export: Jedi Academy Import/ Export Tools' box and then press Save User Settings at the bottom. Now we need to setup your modelling folder's hierarchy, where you're going to be storing and editing your models. I have mine on my desktop, for example, and my folder structure is as follows: JKA Modelling etc/Jedi Academy/GameData/Base/models/players/ Double check and make sure that the folders you created are named exactly as I have shown above, otherwise Blender won't recognise the hierarchy and will give you errors! (excluding the first one called 'JKA Modelling etc', that can be named w/e you want, as Blender doesn't read that one). Navigate to your JKA install directory and open up assets1.pk3 with PakScape (WinRAR works too, if you prefer to use that) and extract the _humanoid folder from inside the models/players/ folder and put that into your players folder that you just made inside your modelling folder. You can also grab other base models from inside assets1.pk3 as well to put in there, if you wish to edit one of those in particular. Just make sure to keep them in their folders when you place them in your new players folder, along with all their necessary textures and skin files etc, or you can expect even more errors . That's it! Blender has now been fully set up and is ready to go!

Nightwing Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Good stuff man, keep it up Link to comment
TheDoctor Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Updated with a part 2 for Frankensteining. Two main parts are remaining to be done, but I will probably put them into one video. They are porting of models and creating custom sounds for your model. If anyone is wanting to sit in with me for a live tutorial/ screen sharing session to ask questions and learn more with me, just hit me up in a PM and I will work on setting a date setup where we can all get together on Discord. 3 1 Link to comment
