Summer '08 Collection - Swimsuit Packie McReary
Added 2024-07-29 23:44:52 +0000 UTC
EDIT: Thanks to a speedy re-export by my dear friend and Max guy Al, as well as Nukie of the IV Modding Community's instructions on editing vertex color via text(!) when export of Packie's Lowr drawable failed... After much strife, Packie has been given correct vertex colors! And now, just like I thought, his mouth is no longer illuminated in normal gameplay!!! This should be approved tomorrow on GTAInside, but here's the fixed Swimsuit Packie a day early for my patrons!!! Don't worry dudes, you'll be getting some nice exclusives soon!!!
OLD:
Did you know? 3DS max is fucking garbage bullshit and i fucking hate it.
Here's the current state of Shirtless Packie, with incorrect vertex colors. For whatever reason, when you import an fbx from Blender into Max, it inverts some sort of RGB channel or something in the vertex colors and it'll fuck your entire shit up! So right now, Packie is weirdly dark in-game, and his 000 hand drawable is comparatively bright.
You'll also notice in Vanilla how the inside of his mouth and his teeth seem to be... Illuminated. His vanilla vertex colors are the cause of this.
So, I just vertex painted this body and his head to match Summer 08 Niko's vertex colors, so if all goes well, we'll be getting the same behavior as soon as I get the new version back fro my Max guy. I also made the vertex paint on his vanilla hands and his teeth the typical Niko colors, so we my be getting an IG Packie that looks more correct than the vanilla one? We'll just have to see.
For now... Here he is, with incorrect vertex colors.
