Probably a photo mode?

But I don't see a button to press that makes her lie down.

get your eyes checked then

You being so rude made me look for a 3rd time and I was right there is no button to emote. However it's in the menu in settings --> Basic --> Pose.

so you're saying me being rude made you put some effort and find the results that you wanted? I'm glad.

[Kintrex]

Still no boots version?

If it had been in person, you probably would have just gotten a slap in the face.

I am only porting someone else's 3D model to the game, I will not put any of this behind a paywall.

 

I am not a 3D artist, but I was planning on, well adding the arms back to the other outfits, then doing some mesh deletions to make outfits with more *skin*, which is gonna suck cuz smutbase kena has a huge ass. I'll try to encompass the requests, but custom lingerie and transparency is way outa my capability. Hmm yall really like boots.

 

I will most likely put the outfits on nexus eventually, but nothing nsfw because they're strict (which sux because I like doing tiny updates).  I mean, I have no issue if it ended up there, I just don't want my name all over it.

 

 

Version 3 fixes wrist/fingers and unsqueezes boobs, a little.

What settings/projectname/etc are you using in unreal?

Been trying to get a mod to work today but it seems to simply not have any effect.

 

Kena as the UE4 project name, version 4.27.2
"Kena\Content\Mochi\Characters\Kena\Cosmetics\MainOutfit" is my folder structure I'm using for u4pak, using the mesh updater for it as well

Doesn't seem like the files are being loaded at all, though yours are

 

Process is:
Importing files to unreal
Setting the folders correctly
Packaging for windows
Going to the models
Running them through the KenaMeshTool
Copying the folders to u4pak, packing it there

@HongChina This link has some pictures of my layout

 

My Project name is "Kena", I believe the KenaMeshTool is not necessary in version 2.0.0+ of the game, I am unfamiliar with u4 pak (I will try it here in a sec), all your settings look right, but maybe the mods name is missing from the folder structure.

[HongChina]

If meshtool isnt necessary now, i can try packing from unreal itself then, see if that works
Unless you're using something else besides unreal to create your paks

[notrustk]

@HongChinaYa, u4pak only packs up to UE 4.15, and now that I think about it I don't think the UE project name really matters.

 

Sounds good, I use some bat files I got from who knows where and just slapped them into "C:\Epic Games\UE_4.27\Engine\Binaries\Win64" and made shortcuts, because I didn't know what the dependencies were.

 

Spoiler

 

UnrealPak.zip

[HongChina]

Something's gotta be fucked then. I've tried packaging into a pak, packaging into loose files and using your bat, and using cooked files with the bats
None of them make any change whatsoever in the game, it's not crashing, there's just nothing happening

[notrustk]

@HongChina

"Can you take pictures of your layouts/file-structure in UEeditor and modding folder so I can cross reference, or alternatively u can give me your source files0 and I can try to cook/pack it?"

 

"Just tested this, but my mods straight up don't work without the "_P" on the end of their name i.e. "NudeKenaMainV3_P.pak" "

[HongChina]

Ah hell, I didnt even see that your mod had a _P at the end. Otherwise I would've done that, thanks. Now I just gotta fix a few things, but now that its actually showing up in game this should be a lot smoother. Many thanks

Is this what you were talking about with a "poly explosion"?@notrustk

I've checked in blender and the weights seem to all be good for the armature (Ignore the lack of materials, that's intentional to make it look less awful)

It seems as if there's some scaling issue, everything seems inflated but actually animates properly besides

[notrustk]

Version 4 Updates:

"Reposed Body" arms are closer to original ones
"Pulled fingers out"
"Unsqueezed boobs"

Added shine
Added 3dmigoto Toggle
Added ability to change hair accessories (made all outfits nude)
Made mod modular
Deflated thighs while lifting them
Added Scar glow
Fixed fingernails
Fixed Pussy Texture
Darker insides

4.1 - Fixes Woodsmith/Forgehand T pose

4.2 - Fixes skinny calf weight bug

4.3 - Removed mipmaps and hip bone (butt no longer spins)

4.4 - Fixed rim lighting that I broke last update, changed scale to 444, modular mats

 

Version 4 bugs:

Alternative outfits do not have different colored hair accessories

No mipmaps (causes shimmering and colorshift, I think) *let me know if this is a significant problem, I can kinda fix it now*

Install:

Delete Old mod versions
Copy "Kena" folder from zip to "...\Common\Kena Bridge of Spirits\", replace all files
Open Game and Change Graphics API to "DirectX 11"
Restart Game
Profit

Customize Install:

Navigate to "...\common\Kena Bridge of Spirits\Kena\Content\Paks\~Mods\"
Delete mod(s) that you don't want
The "Core" file is required for "KenaV4" mods to run
When installing optional mods, make sure you delete any mods that change the same Outfit

Disable 3dmigoto Changes:

Press Numpad0 (u should see green letters, this is called hunting mode), then hold F9, press Numpad0, and release F9.

Re-enable 3dmigoto Changes:

While in hunting mode, press F9 once, make sure you exit hunting mode by pressing Numpad0 again.

 

Plans:

Outfits SFW reconstruction

stuff

update scale/core/mips and skin material for No 3Dmigoto option

glue arms to model

Boots Sleeves Nails

fix capes again

learn how to make panties

slim ver

die

Ya, that was a really depressing sight to see when I first started modding as I was matching the scale to other ue4 games.

All you need to do is make everything 4 times smaller than you think it needs to be, you can just extract someone else's mod to quickly find out the right scale to bypass the odd animation scale thing.

 

And the poly explosion I was having was another thing, I was working with a model from a new version of blender, but using old 2.8 for psk plugin, the weights were fucked and auto weight decided to give all the vertex groups different names, so... poly explosion.

Great work here! All outfits are nude as stated (except Woodsmith & Forgehand). Might take a look at those. Thank you so much for keeping this game's mods alive.

 

UPDATE: Found your corrected file above. Thank you so much. Now all outfits are flawlessly nude. Amazing work!!

Alright, I've tried scaling everything to .25 in blender, scaling just the mesh to .25, setting the scale in the fbx export to .25, and also setting the import scale in unreal to .25
None of them fix the issue ?

Extracted your mod's mesh and imported it to blender, its the same scale as mine

[notrustk]

Hmm, weird, I can give you one of my blend files when I get home in like 5 hours..., I know my psk plugin sets my blender unit scale to 0.01 and I've just ran with that even in the new blender.

 

Scaling is weird, I matched my early versions to mods by user619. Not sure if my cooked files are the same scale. I don't remember my blender size or UEeditor size, I pretty sure I remember that my old mods also showed .25 expected in UEeditor, but I've just used what worked lately.

[HongChina]

Aight, I suspect that'd be really helpful. Appreciate it a lot

[Rarity Mane Six]

Good work on the improvements to v4. I'll keep a look out for any bugs. ?‍♀️

Kena is such a cutie ?❤️
