This update has two changes:

1. Fixes issues like #81 In fact, KK always applies a small correction to the eyes even if all sliders are set to default, this update fixes this issue. Basically, the plugin will always clear all blend shapes before exporting.

2. It now exports the Tears object please see #137 May need to solve this issue first before merging or there might be errors

As you may have noticed, the current workflow (PMX and CATS) completely nukes the original bone structure, making retargeting animations taken from Koikatsu very time consuming.

One workflow I used was to, use the PMX model, not fix the bones through CATS and manually delete all the extra bones (while comparing the bone structure to GME's fbx export)

This works well but takes an awfully long time.

Since GMEs armature has issues with scale, we also can't use the exported fbx.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I've been playing with the KKS version of the plugin from PR-138.

Notable issues:

Texture naming convention is different between the two games. KKS seems to short-hand texture names.

_MainTex is shorthanded to _MT _ColorMask is shorthanded to _CM _DetailMask is shorthanded to _DM _NormalMap and _NormalMapDetail are shorthanded to _NMP and _NMPD [new mexico police department?] _liquidmask is shorthanded to _lqdm _LineMask is shorthanded to _LM _ColorMask is shorthanded to _CM

This causes an issue during the "Import shader" step.

Normal maps in KKS seem to be a red color, instead of the black and white ones that usually get spat out in KK.

What's new

KKBP_Exporter Plugin

A brand new plugin that does away with GME and PMX Exporter It's based off the PMX Exporter plugin. Features:

• Only exports meshes that are visible in KK
• Exports all needed colors to a JSON file
• Exports all Textures
• Supports individual accessories/hair masks
• Does not break KK
• Uses BepinEX 5
• And much more.

KKBP

• Fully automatic color import and conversion
• Imports blush, lip line, nsfw body textures, etc...
• Automatic LUT import
• MainTex LUT conversion
• Bug fixes

How to use?

Use blender 2.93 (idk if this is required, but it's what I'm using)

1. Install KKBP_Exporter.dll to KK
2. Export (No need to change blink/eye look/pose, plugin does it automatically)
3. Import with CATS, go through the hair separation process, merge duplicates (only the ones with .00X at the end) etc.
4. Import textures (step 2a) by selecting the folder with the model.pmx inside.
5. Do the same for step 2b
6. Tweak intensities and enjoy.

Issues

#39 #48

~~#38~~ ~~#40~~ ~~#41~~ ~~#42~~ ~~#45~~ ~~#46~~ ~~#50~~ Sometimes the color for the top is wrong (Such as a sailor part), in that case you can just copy the colors from another part that is correct or just switch to use the Main Tex instead of the Color Mask

Please let me know if you find any bugs.

Here it is! The automatic system to find and convert colors from KK to blender. #22

What's new?

Added a new step after 2a to Import, Convert and Apply colors.

How does it work?

First, it uses MC masks and Main textures exported by the PMX Exporter to find the original colors, then, it converts the colors with a LUT taken from KK, finally it sets all the Shaders to the converted colors. Then, since certain objects (Body nip, Face blush, Eyebrows, Eyelines and Hair) do not have a Main Texture generated by KK, we use a supplementary json file (color.json) to access those colors.

Note: For now, it uses LUT TimeDay for light colors, and LUT TimeNight for dark colors. Note 2: This script changes the scene color management to the following values:

How to use?

1. Follow the steps up to 2a
2. Correctly set ALL MC Masks for all Shaders
3. Setup color.json (Replace the values inside with yours)
4. Copy color.json to the folder that PMX Exporter made (beside model.pmx)
5. Import all the LUTs to blender and set fake user on them
6. MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREVIEWING THE LUTS. (This is especially important, not doing so will make the script return black colors) Like so:
7. Click on 2b, chose the folder that PMX made (the same folder that color.json is in) and wait.
8. All the colors should now be the same as KK, adjust intensities to taste.
9. Profit

Known issues

Eyeline color: https://github.com/FlailingFog/KK-Blender-Shader-Pack/issues/22#issuecomment-913080208 ~~Some accessories don't get new colors.~~

in game you can use material inspector to view all values for colors and stuff, so can you make it when you import your textures a gui will pop up asking you for numbers/colors for each material, which correspond the the material inspector. so you just enter them and press ok and it will automatically fix all the colors for you

When I tried importing one of the default characters after updating to the latest version of blender, v3.2.1, I recieve some errors. I'm not sure if this is the new update or trying run the importer in linux, I know blender uses python so it should in theory be platform agnostic.

Export_PMX folder for the character has all textures but no .PMX model. Have not been able to get it to output the .PMX no matter what I do. (Using the V5.0 plugin in Koikatsu Party([Steam + After Party DLC] w/ HF Patch.)

This picture was taken after the "Convert and Apply colors " step, and shows two small problems:

1. The right eyewhite is assigned a hair material, which is easily fixed by merging it with the Eyewhites (sirome) material.

2. One vertex of the lower lip was merged with one of the upper lip; I verified that this doesn't happen when importing with CATS using an increased scale, so I'm assuming the "Finalize PMX" step performs a Merge By Distance on all vertices, which is a risky operation because almost-overlapping vertices may get joined together too, especially on small scaled high poly models.

The problem with the increased scale workaround is that some bones get weird resizing results like these:

Either removing the merge operation or fixing the bone resizing would solve the issue.

Here's the reference character, I used the default outfit:

https://db.bepis.io/koikatsu/view/17005

On a side note, is there a way to revert the permanent Wireframe looks (X-Ray looks in edit mode) of bones in the imported armature from CATS? I tried all of the typical functions and overlay options, but none of them seem to affect them:

@MediaMoots

Uh, Noice error fix but um now the materials are BROKEN AF... X3

KK-Blender-Porter-Pack-V6.1.1 ErrorLog (was 2 big 2 image post it): KK-Blender-Porter-Pack-V6.1.1_ERRORLOG.txt

Been having an issue when I get to the Apply Baked Templates step. I tried with shaders edited and unedited, and both yield the same result.

It looks as if it's applying a body alphamask, but the clothes and hair just straight up disappear.

Here is what the model is supposed to look like (without any edited shaders in this test):

The baked materials look like they should be fine. The pants are top row, shirt is 3rd row, and hairs are throughout. None of them look particularly problematic, though I'm not entirely familiar with Blender enough to tell.

I got this error after following the steps from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFt12n7ByBI&t=465s

I tried to use two imported .fbx files on 3 different imported models to no avail:

"f_talk_00_00_00-1-p_cf_body_00-0" "Idle_08_01-0-p_cf_body_00-0"

Both animations where imported as FBX 2020_1.

I imported my koikatsu model, but the colours are too saturated or dark and some things aren't right.

this is my blender screenshot

I noticed that her eyes are wide open, and blush seems less transparent

This is what my model looks like in game

I'm new to using this so help would be appreciated.

While importing the exported PMX file it begins to load fine but at the end crashes while(i guess) calculating the dark colors, with a KeyError: 'color' error. Stacktrace and full blender logs from start to finish below.

Hi, I have been following the export process from blender to unity, but when I import the fbx to unity and I load the atlas textures in my model the transparent textures create some lines in the face textures, I try different methods of exporting the fbx, different baking options of the atlas but none seems to fix the issue, any help?

lastest blender version lastest plugin version

Heyo! My character uses a headmod / different facetype to the default characters, and when I export them from Blender, or create a material atlas, the irises clip into the eyewhites. And when the character looks around, instead of the iris going upwards, it goes into the eye, kind of like it's going both upward and backward.

I'm not sure why it does this. I've tried weighting the iris materials to the head instead, moving the irises forward, rotating them, to no avail. Here are screenshots of before and after atlasing! Before atlas / export After atlas / export This error happens either when you create a material atlas, or Export FBX from the KKBP panel. I do believe it's specific to the types of headmod I'm using, because the default male ones don't do this! I believe I'm specifically using the one just labelled "Headmod", so the facetypes that modify the expressions of the original face. I have attached a card here that uses the headmod, so please, devs try it yourself!
