Hey, So I downloaded the Package and the demo models aren't skinned.

Hi! They are skinned, I just downloaded the package, and verified in UE4 and they work correctly. In what software are you trying to open them?

I just bought the package, and the skinned models aren't textured. You can see why if you inspect the FBX files (and why they work for the author but nobody else): the textures all point to absolute paths. For example, here's the redhead texture file in the fbx:

D:\VoxelAssets\FlyingBike\BikerWoman\CharacterExports\BikerWoman_Redhead02\Redhead02-0.png

...so these textures always fail to load, since they were saved with absolute paths instead of relative ones.

Hello, In the paid package, absolutely all of the models in the "SkeletalMeshes" folder are skinned, try open it with blender (free 3D program) and see by yourself.

Apart from that, thank you for spoting the texture path problem, I'll fix that asap.

Hi Max, you're right, they are skinned (attached to the armature), but they aren't usable, because the skinned meshes all have no textures. For example, here's what that looks like in Blender:

You just need to relink the textures in the materials and boom! They become usable again.
The textures are also included in the downloadable zip.

Thanks! This was helpful to me to learn that since sometimes I'll be rebuilding the whole pipeline from a vox file, it's probably best to figure out how to do that from the start.

You may also want to check out the textures in https://maxparata.itch.io/cyberpunkcity-monogon for the same pathing issue btw - I plan on purchasing them, and downloaded the free set for a test, and none of the textures came in.

Okay I'll look into that. Also, are you working in Unity?

hunterloftis1 year ago

I'm working in Godot (doing cleanup in Blender)

Ah okay, I'm asking because the asset pack is coming to Unity soon.
Does Godot have its own marketplace like the Unity Asset Store?

Nice, congrats!

Godot does have an asset library, but I haven't found it to be as useful as Unity's: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset

I tend to use itch instead.

PS here's one of these voxel ladies in action:

they have an asset library but nothing on there is "sold". its all free assets with various licenses
