3D Art Assets in Civilization 6: A Modding Guide

First, I'd recommend using CivNexus6 to create a .cn6 file rather than .nb2. This is now the default. Then use the .cn6 import add on (
io_import_cn6.py)
for Blender 2.7+. The .nb2 format is the older Civ 5 format and is not as good in a few ways.

Second, it looks like you are using the wrong script. You are using the older Blender 2.49 version of the .nb2 script with Blender 2.7+. You should be using the Blender 2.7 add on (
io_import_nb2.py)
with Blender 2.7+ if you want to use the .nb2 format.

 

Help, I try to make a new history moment image in the game, I write all the .tex,.xlp,Mod.Art correct, but my project doesn't build any .dep file

 

Hey Deliverator, i tried to make my very first Animation...and have Problems to Export the finished Animation without the armature ? or isnt that possible ? no idea what to do here.
when i Import the Animation into civnexus6, then i have the Animation but also the armature, which seems to be wrong. civnexus6 create a .geo file instead of a .anm file, which seems also to be wrong
How can i Export the Animation without the armature to fbx ? also, to create the Animation, i used blender 2.49, but is it also possible to Export a Animation via Blender 2.7 ?

 

Hey lasttry, it’s a little tricky. After you imported FBX into Nexus, you need to “save animation” first, open your saved fgx file (not generate anm file directly) and you will find only the animation was extracted. Then you may generate the anm file.

 

@lasttry I always use Blender 2.49 for animation work. It’s the only version with the working .na2 script if you want to edit existing animations. I will then use Nexus Buddy 2 to convert .fbx to .gr2 animation and CivNexus6 to convert .gr2 to .fgx.

 

thanks FurionHuang and Deliverator !

 

EDIT : Fixed. it was an Error in the Code of the Asset File.



running into a Problem, when i try to make a new custom Building, Asset Editor wont load the my asset. the following error message showing up :
