You can write:
7_meshName
7_meshName_0.1
7_meshName_0.1_0_0
which is the best, because now you can add camera targets behind. ==> 7_meshName_0.1_0_0_cameraTarget_boneName
or you can write any value for 'X' and 'Y'
7_meshName_0.1_16_12

All this lines descripe the same material settings.
With 'camera pivot targets':

7_meshName_0.1_0_0_head_head jaw
7_meshName_0.1_0_0_head_head eyeball left_head eyeball right
7_meshName_0.1_0_0_center_hair ponytail 0_leg right toes_leg left toes
....

Gracias, muy bien.

^ That explained what I asked. Thanks

Nevermind, I've solved my problem.

Hey, I've got a different problem. I know I could've avoided double-posting by editing the post above, but I am kind of impatient.

Anyways, I bascially rigged a model, but when I export to XNALara, bones change the position.
Here's the picture:



I have no idea how to stop this. I tried Applying Scale and Rotation (Ctrl+a), but that didn't work...

I guess I could pose the model in XNALara to match the model and export it as posed .mesh.ascii and copy weight, but it's very difficult.

Did you move the bones in Object Mode?

No. I exported it as it was, didn't move anything in Object Mode.

Double post are not a problem here.

I solved my problem. I just edited the deformed armature a little bit and it's better now.

Whenever I try to edit a mesh in blender I get this error. Or if it happens to work which it rarely does I get this error message in XPS.



I am simply trying to remove all parts of a mesh except for the head. It use to work but it stopped working all of a sudden. Thanks for any help.

i was actually able to fix the top part so i no longer have that error message but the second one is still showing and i havent be able to fix it

[XNAaraL]

^^^ Youe have a mesh part with zero vertices, because zou has removed the parts using the Blender Edit Mode ^^^^
Wait some hours. I make a new version XPS 10.8.6 which fix this problem.
EDIT: Done! XPS 10.8.6 http://************************/t170-x...t-version#1537

The first error message "global name 'format' is not defined" means: You using the wrong python version. Use Python 2.6.2
The 2nd warning message (essai) means: You has used a outdated Blender import script. Use the latest importer 1.7 and the latest exporter 2.2 from here: http://************************/t18-ge...ture-utility-s

The error message, 2nd image, "Resource size must be greather than zero" means:

• The error message means, you has deleted a mesh part not using the Blender object mode. Maybe, you has removed all vertices inside the Blender Edit mode and the object contains now 'zero vertices'
• Or this happens, if you has used a wrong Mesh 2 Ascii tool. Use XPS->Modify-->Load_Generic_Item and XPS->Modify-->Save_Generic_Item from here http://************************/t170-x...latest-version

Solution:
Open the Generic_Item.mesh.ascii file with notepad
Search for 0 # vertices

You find something like:

122 121 143
7_body
0 # uv layers
0 # textures
0 # vertices
0 # faces
7_head
1 # uv layers

Delete the lines with
mesh part name
0 # uv layers
0 # textures
0 # vertices
0 # faces
Now

122 121 143
7_head
1 # uv layers

All parts, which you has removed of the model, also removed inside the .mesh.ascii file!
Next time: Remove the parts using the Blender Object mode . simple hit the shortcut X

============================

End of the error message Resource size must be greather than zero. -- Parameter name: SizeInBytes. --

use the latest XPS 10.8.6
- A model can have 2 mesh files. xps.xps (New XPS Generic format) and Generic_Item.mesh (old XNALara Generic format). Both inside the same folder.
- Support for models that have parts with 0 vertices.
