TO THE MODDERS WORKING ON IMPORTING OBJECTS, POSSIBLE BREAKING NEWS

[SLX]

To the modders who are working on importing the objects in the game. Hova tells me that the models do not show up or work, but are in YOBJ.

My prior working with the format in the past, in efforts to simply reverse engineer Yuke's procedure (I never produced mods, however), I noticed that the NORMALS ARE FLIPPED.

Have those trying to import custom models,and trying to design ways to do so, ect, check to see if the model has flipped normals. USE RENDER OUTPUT TO DO SOFTWARE RENDERING OF SCENE, AND INCLUDE LIGHTING. 

If the model does not show up or looks strange, the normals are reversed.  This may be precisely why they are not working when you boot up the game and try to load the stages.

I have absolutely no clue for certain because I have not checked into modding this game until now, but it has been on my education list for quite some time. I'm simply using deductive reason and common sense. I have the resources but I need people to get me going and informed. I can do fantastic modeling, but i have to learn how 2k16 works.  

 

What I do know is that I will do all i can to help you guys learn to make custom imported models work. Test this out, let me know what happens.

Hey man, doing good how are you? Umm well i gotta say I'm not quite sure who you are because I don't recognize the screen name lol. But anyways i'll consider posting it there but lets see if anyone has any luck with it first on Smacktalks. I don't want to waste time posting it if its not the actual  problem.
