Nude Mods for the Female characters in BlackDesertOnline (6 Viewers)

You're using -refAllBones during export from pac to DAE right? I'm assuming you're importing directly to 3ds Max, could you try importing to Blender (3.4.0 or newer), without any bone fixing options in Blender, and export to FBX (or again to DAE) and then load that file in 3ds Max, see if that addresses the broken bones?

Yes, I use that command to extract.
I can think of other problems, so I'll give it another thought.

PACtool.exe -c -refAllBones pew_00_nude_0001_noalpha.pac bones\pew_01.pab
PAUSE

It might be that 3ds Max still deletes some of the bones when you import and then export, could you import to Blender first and then export as FBX to use in 3ds? The Ranger skeleton should have 238 bones.

I found out how to avoid Bad UV.

Also I want to explain the "Bad UV" errors - they always happened, but pactool didn't report them before version 1.4.0, it's part of the reason why it always misaligned or "corrupted" normals, it's why I heavily recommend you ALWAYS import your final mesh to Blender (version 3.4.0 or newer if using DAE, so that it would also import correct normals), and export with Better Collada, the plugin saves more information and pactool uses it directly instead of attempting to generate it.
If you do not want to use the plugin, pactool 1.4.0 or newer will also differ in behavior compared to old pactool, which had the commands -mergeNearbyTBNs -gramSchmidt enabled by default, that is what worked around MOST shadow/seam issues, but the normals were still generated practically from scratch, which still causes incorrect normals, black spots, misaligned textures (all the issues you had to fix with trial and error by checking the model in-game repeatedly), using the plugin is supposed to allow you to avoid that because it should be much more accurate.

This blender file is the file just before importing into the pac file.
If you select only the body in the selection output, the bones without skin weight influences will be removed and output.
This does not cause any problems.
Because the bones will merge into a bone with the same name when imported.
The missing bones are intentional on my part.

Yes but the mesh might deform if the bone does not match the position, size, rotation, etc of the original bone, but removing completely unrelated bones SHOULD be fine (although still not recommended).
I've asked aizen to test the file you sent and import it with pactool, the mesh did deform, with the base skeleton exported from the default body and transferred to your mesh, it imported correctly, in the post above your should be the working file, although I'm not sure if it addresses any of the customization issues you were encountering, though I'm pretty sure those would be caused by the bad normals generated previously.

I thought it turned out well.

A black spot was found on the right wrist.
Hmmm... too bad.
I guess I'm not done uploading yet.

 

[suzu ( 鈴]

you can also use both shade smooth and shade auto smooth.
select the vertices that you want it to be affected only by shade smooth, then click on Mesh > Normals > Average > Corner Angle

I mainly use maya 2023.1 and 3ds max 2023.
They have the same features of course.
I use blender only for checking and extracting dae files.

There's a visible seam on the underside of the arm and the back, if you loaded the mesh (from DAE) into Blender, you must use Blender 3.4.0 or newer or it'll also re-calculate normals.

Blender older than 3.4.0 (or with "Custom Normals" disabled when importing):

Blender 3.4.0 with "Custom Normals" enabled when importing:

This happens because of how the default BDO meshes are made, and recalculating normals for these things is difficult, it's why after so many attempts with pactool I resorted to just preserving more data with tangents and bitangents, skipping (re)calculations entirely.

Now I am going to connect the body of the tamer.

Fit the mesh joints.
After this, they are merged into a single unit.

Hello all, I'm new here. Can anyone please help, how to make the female characters go nude only when we turn ON the underwear toggle (showing nude instead of showing the underwear)? I don't want my characters nude when they're wearing costumes and armors. I want them to be nude only when I toggled ON the underwear mode.

Thanks in advance

It appears that the new pactool 1.4.0 or later versions do not extract the Dark Knight PAC files.
It cannot be opened with Blender 3.4 or earlier.
Maybe I should use the file I extracted with the older version.
Of them, as long as there is nothing wrong in the game, I'm good to go.

I'm done for the day because I've broken my motivational back.
I'll get to the other characters some other time.

What pac file did you try to convert, I'm assuming the body? Can you upload the DAE files that were generated? It looks like there's a formatting error which is causing the mesh to fail to import into Blender.

I'm playing as Corsair, and no matter what I do, I can't get her underwear to not show. I add the CorsairNude.zip files to files_to_patch and ran the injector. Underwear always shows. What do I need to do? I also added Characters before Corsair_nudebody.zip and same thing: underwear shows over breasts and pelvic area.

The file is an extracted nude of the Dark Knight, but I can't open it in all applications.

All characters have the package costumes implemented, but it seems that Drakania was implemented late. partcutdesc.xml was after editing, so please write the following line.
This will avoid a bald head.

<CutType Name="2021H_W_Hel"> ⇐ Write the following two on this line

<File>1_Pc/25_PQW/Armor/13_Hel/PQW_10_Hel_0047.pac</File>
<File>1_Pc/25_PQW/Armor/13_Hel/PQW_10_Hel_0047_01.pac</File>

This should address the issue, there is a bone in the Dark Knight skeleton that has a name with bad encoding, I've made pactool rename the bone to address this, but there may be more bones like this one in other skeletons so I'll need to know which ones those are to apply the same workaround to them.
You can also use another workaround - open the broken DAE file with notepad -> save as -> next to the "save" button there should be a field that says "Encoding", make sure it's UTF-8 -> save -> try importing to Blender/3ds again. This should work, but you'll end up with a weird looking bone name.

I was able to open the Dark Knight file.

The nude body of the character I'm rebuilding now is made from a character that also has unique textures.
And the Dark Knight is that last model.
The nude textures for many of the female characters are from Sorceress textures.
Those models are made all together at once.
That doesn't mean they can be done tomorrow.
Please be patient.
