So Perhaps this is well known - but i couldnt find anything about it in the world of HD models.
So the firey effect is based on a model having event objects such as : SPNxIFP0, SPNxIFP1 and SPNyIFP0, SPNyIFP1
------------------------------------------------
The Issue:
- Cant Add EventObjects with Retera Studio.
- Adding Event Objects via editing the .mdl file resulted in a broken model.
- Cant Open HD model in Model Editor (Which I BELIEVE is just another name for the magos model editor?)
- Cant seem to access EventObject details in Blender
- Importing them alone from Illidan model resulted in broken model
-------------------------------------------------
The Solution:
- (Retera Studio) -> (Scripts) -> (HD -> SD)
- open the SD model in Model Editor
- Open node Manager
- Duplicate the 2 FPT eventobjects, twice
- R is for Right, L is for Left
- Edit the duplicated objects for the right FPT.
- Change type to SPN
- Change the reference (or whatever it was called, should be easy to find if you already changed the type to SPN - its just under it) to the IFP0 and IFP1.
- NOTE: I believe the IFP0 vs IFP1 say on the reference name whether they are associated with with left vs right
- One should have the identifier of "x", the other of "y"
- Repeat for Left FPT ... then save
- Open your HD model in retera
- Import file, select your edited SD one.
- Geosets: leave all (dont import any)
- Animations: (time scale into existing
- Vertices (or something like that) : Smart mapping
- Objects: (Leave all) THEN (select the 4 SPNs you added, and import those.)
- Visibility: Leave with default, I didnt miss with this
---------------------------------------------------
This should do it. Atleast, it did for me.
It took me about 4 hours of frustration and rage to figure this out - so hoping this can help anyone else who tries to do it but cant find anything related to HD models when they try to search here
Perhaps there were some unnecessary steps here and there is a much better way. But this is the way I got it to work. And probably the best way for me to find this better solution was to post my own because, as murphy's law states, people are much more likely to correct a wrong answer than to answer a question.
