Import gr2 skeleton

[Deliverator]

Yeah, woohoo! It was really satisfying the first time I managed to export and re-import a unit perfectly although it took a LOT of investigation, trial and error - not to mention reading up on the Blender API and matrix mathematics!

Tutorial is up here.

It's a shame about the leaderheads, but they are always going to be more complex. Still one breakthrough at a time - you never know...

Hello! I have an old game of Avatar Aang. Models out there gr2 format. I can not find any solution how to import them together with the skeleton and animation in Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender. Gr2decode.altervista.org site does not work ! And I do not quite understand English ! Please help!
(sorry for my english, I'm Russian)))

I hope I understand you correctly, that gr2 file http://rapidshare.com/files/3025249236/aang_model.gr2
But I misunderstood Your question "Are you trying to convert ot for civ5?"

do you want to make the gr2 you have into a unit to use in civ5?

No, I want to use the model for my own selfish purposes.
Does it matter?
I hope you do not say, if not, it will not help!

it matters on extraction. The SMD extractor will take the mesh but not the skeleton. If you just want themesh that is the way to do it.

Not sure if you can use the nexusbuddy to get the skeleton but I will check this weekend

How to get the texture from gr2?

 

[Nutty]

The CiV implementation of gr2 doesn't include the textures (they're separate files).

Are you trying to mod Civ 5 .gr2s or another game? If you are working with Civ 5 .gr2 you can use Nexus Buddy 2 which will allow you to get both skeleton, meshes and animations into Blender via the .nb2 format. If you are trying to mod another game's .gr2 files it won't work.

In any case this thread is way out of date. The most up-to-date method is here.
