New to modelling - Adding skeleton help

[Hashira]

Hello,

 

I am in dire need of help regarding how to add a skeleton to a model. As this is my first week in modding in general, I wanted to take this ported model from SWTOR and somehow make it compatible with JKA, I imported the Humanoid.gla file into blender with the .obj file however I have no Idea on how to actually rig the model which is what I need help with.

 

My question is; Have I actually done the right thing in adding the skeleton from JKA or should I create the skeleton bones myself, also, how should I proceed in doing this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm not a Blender user... but now that you have the JKA skeleton bones in Blender you need to make sure they are located at the scene origin-- not offset from origin as you have shown.

 

Now just search the internet for Blender tutorials on how to scale/modify the mesh & limbs to overlay the skeleton; and further tutorials for weighting the mesh to the bones.

 

@@mrwonko has a Blender import/export package you will need to get the final result in-game.

 

Good luck.

I can save you the trouble and point you to look up Jeff's thread in the WIPs subforum - this model is already there.
