Can you keyframe the flex value in blender?

Not really for the Source engine.

引用自 a clean Xbox：

- However there is still something wrong with the arms where some of the vertices seem to be pointing out slightly and making sharp pyramids. -

And this is why a model is best off in a T-pose by default, especially if it was originally made that way. Again...

引用自 Zappy：

- If you really want to do it, you should do it by changing the pose of the SMD/DMX of the first $Sequence, while keeping the SMD(s)/DMX(es) used in $Model, $Body, and $BodyGroup un-altered. -

But also again, it is not worth it to de-compile, edit, and re-compile a model if it's only for the sake of making a model not have a T-pose by default.

引用自 a clean Xbox：

- I did not change the SMD of the first $Sequence line. -

Then the first sequence of the model has the model in a T-pose, which will then be the pose the model will be in when loaded in Source FilmMaker.

引用自 a clean Xbox：

- Could the other $BodyGroup entries be a problem, since they are all in the original Jesus pose?

If a bone is in a file used by a $Sequence, that bone will have the position and rotation it does in that $Sequence. If not, then the bone will have the position and rotation it does in the first referenced model file that has the bone in it. So if the modified-pose model is the one used first (in the first $Model/$Body/$BodyGroup), then the bones will have the modified pose unless un-modified bones of the same names are in a $Sequence. Something along those lines.


In other words, check the bones and their posing in the $Sequence file first of all.

Does the QC file contain $DefineBone anywhere, and did you change the SMD/DMX of the first $Sequence line in the QC?

引用自 a clean Xbox：

I'm trying to modify an existing SFM model so its default pose is not the Jesus pose, but has their arms at their sides. -

It is definitely favourable for a model to either be built that way in the first place or not be used like that at all, especially considering the way a model is rigged and such (for example, you're saying the shoulders look "wrinkled" when in the same position as before).
If you really want to do it, you should do it by changing the pose of the SMD/DMX of the first $Sequence, while keeping the SMD(s)/DMX(es) used in $Model, $Body, and $BodyGroup un-altered.

And in any case, de-compiling a model isn't always flawless, and to be honest, it's rarely flawless when flexes are involved... and if it's a character, it likely has flexes, and if you're saying the model has shape keys when you import its QC or such through the Blender Source Tools, it definitely has flexes (which, again, usually doesn't de-compile that well).



TL;DR: If you are doing this only for the sake of a model by default starting with its arms in a different position, it's very far from worth it.

It would probably be a good idea to give a link to the "tf2_head_controllers.dmx" file in question.

Here is an example of what is going on -Image-

May I ask how you are selecting/de-selecting the vertices currently?

引用自 Buzzsaw：

Hi Thank you for the help, but when I want to deselect the vertex group I want to keep Blender just pop " /!\ not yet implemented " -

What version of Blender are you using?

Try skipping steps 2, 3, 7, and 8. In addition, please show screenshots of in Blender both before and after scaling, and in Source both before and after scaling. You might also want to import the scaled SMD/DMX in a new Blender session, to see if the error is caused by Blender or not.

Also, while it is better to scale the contents of the SMD(/VTA)/DMX(es) itself/themselves, I should probably mention the $Scale QC command here as well.

引用自 a clean Xbox：

Ok, this time I did a simpler test by rotating only one bone, applying the modifier, applying the pose, and re-adding the modifier. Now I see the model is not rotated, but is pinched around the bone that was supposed to be rotated. -

引用自 a clean Xbox：

I think there might be a bug in the SMD export process, because when I export my model as an STL it looks like it does in Blender, but looks wrong when I export as SMD. -

Could you show a screenshot of that/those thing(s), please?

引用自 a clean Xbox：

- The first number is always "0" in my newly exported SMD, while it varies in the original SMD. I think the first number links the bone to the triangle. How can I get the bones to be linked to the correct triangles?

The first number isn't really that relevant, as it's only used for GoldSrc models (I think) and in case the bone links at the end of each line don't add up to 1.0 in the end (where the bone as the first number then gets used as the remainder to fill it up to 1.0, I believe). In other words, it should be fine.
