If you check Ignore Blender Materials how will the compiler know what vmt goes with what DMX or SMD?

I have two versions of my model. A old one and a new one which has new flexes. I am trying to update the old model which is animatied in a SFM session. I went and changed the ModelName in the Element Viewer and I did Re-attach to Model. The model was changed, but the sliders are the same.

What do I do after I click Re-attach to Model?

Nothing.

Hiw does that add new flexes?

What do I do after I click Re-attach to Model?

I have a model that I have animated in SFM. I went back to fix some shape keys/flexes in Blender. If I recompile the model it will mess up past animations.

I don't get how it finds the new ones.

Source FilmMaker doesn't say "okay, at this point, the bip_head bone is here", it says "okay, at this point, bone number 7 is here". It generates a list of user-friendly bone names for the user, which the bone numbers correspond correctly to.

The "Re-attach to model" thing then looks up what bone names are currently what bone numbers on the animationset, and then it re-generates the list for bone-name-to-number based on the current model, while moving the old bip_head's animation (maybe bone 7) to the new bip_head's animation (maybe bone 21 now).


In simpler terms, it looks at what used to be bip_head, then moves what is currently bip_head over there. The same goes for all other bones (and flexes).

Will this let me use the new flexes?

Yes.

I have a new problem. I am animating a whale in SFM, and if I replace the model files with the new ones, which have new shape keys/flexes, it disorts the animated model.

You can try right-clicking the model's animationset and choosing "Utilities" > "Re-attach to model" or such. Do keep a backup of the session, though.

What will that do?
