I understand. Pity because I wanted to make an AMV movie including Yuna in Gunner Dressphere outfit but since I don`t know much about hex editing besides music loop, there`s nothing I can do. I was about to ask why some dlc models are so complex. For example Yuna`s Gunner. She has a lot of files that includes not only the model but the rest parts such as ponytail, skirt etc.. Why all this stuff can`t be in one file. Is it about physics or something else?

It has to do with the DLC part. Yuna’s original model lacks the bones and physics necessary to use the part, so her skirt was designed to be separate from her body. A standard DLC (battle +assist) is 7 files, whereas Yuna has 10. DLC parts usually have about 3 files (controller, physics, and the gmo). When I was messing around with physics, I did experiment with Gunner Yuna in cutscenes. I think I have the files stored somewhere…

Oh yes indeed! I didn`t expect you to answer so quick. Thank you so much. Next question, GMO cutscenes models. I noticed that whenever you were making a trailer you also created cutscenes models. I was searching Dissidia Forums for answers and I found one of yours, something about those model being more complicated than the ones you choose for a fight. How do you do that? I also remember seeing Yuna as Gunner in cutscenes that Ultima Espio did but those videos are down and nowhere to be found...

Ah, yes. Allow me to explain. The cutscene models have a different skeletal makeup when compared to the battle models. This mainly includes several facial bones and additional finger bones (some may even have specific bones, like Tidus’s necklace). As such, it takes a certain degree of re-rigging in these areas. They also lack several bones that the battle models do have (such as the dress bones in Yuna’s wedding dress model). There are also multiple models per character (the 013 heroes can have around 10, I believe), and each of them are necessary. In game, during cutscenes, the models are constantly being switched with one another, the only way you’ll tell is if all the models had not been replaced. Cutscene models are not impossible, but they due require more time, and that’s including the many shortcuts I’ve given myself. 

As for the Yuna as a Gunner. It’s a little more complicated. You see, if you want a model like that in a cutscene (this also extends to non-DLC, Cloud AC, Yuna Wedding, etc), you would have to include new bones to each model, if ONE is off, the game will most likely crash. You also have to apply physics that are applied to the battle model onto the cutscene models, and like how there are multiple cutscene models, there are multiple physic controllers for them (the worst part if you have to sift through the ISO contents to locate them). Not impossible, but will require more time and some knowledge on hex editing. (Luckily, I’ve already done all the DLC ones lol)

I hope this clears up any questions you had regarding these. :)

Greetings! let you know that I was gonna asl you a few stuff so here we go. I`ll just ask one question at the time so I can get everything together and hopefully it`ll be less chaotic for you!! ;-; Anyways, I wanted to ask about assists models. Let`s say I see nice taxture mod but it`s only for player slot and not assist. How can I make this model be also available in my assist slot?

Let’s see, if you are referring to strictly a texture mod (meaning the model’s are the ones found in-game), it would be a simple matter of extracting the textures from the mod and inserting them in the assist model (Ex: A standard police uniform mod over the Guardian Corps mod for Lightning). 

Aside from that, you’d only have to make an assist DLC slot that coincides with the player slot you’d already have. Of course, you’d have to keep in mind that both the player model and the assist model take up 1 slot each, and there’s a limit of 255 slots for Dissidia (Ex: Lighting DLC3 - Slot 101, Lightning DLC3 assist Slot 102). To make DLC slots, the most current method is to us agl89′s DLC creation tool. This would allow you to have a texture mod available as an assist as well. 

The process is slightly different if you want a model-hack as an assist instead. But it is relatively easy. There are a few differences between player and assist models. A) They have different motion data, and B) They lack Ex-mode models and Ex-mode weapons. If you would like more detailed information concerning model-hack assists, I can go into further detail later.

I trust this answers your question for now. Feel free to ask me when you have more questions. :)

Hellos Deraj8 What tools do you use? I wanna learn how to create/edit models too

Hello there! The programs I use vary depending on what I’m exactly doing, but for the most part, these are the programs I use:

Modeling: Milkshape, Noesis, Fragmotion

Textures: GIMP, Photoshop

Etc: png2GIM converter, Dissidia Modding Suite (New + Old), Game Graphic Studio, HxD, GMOTool (in the Dissidia Tool pack from Dissidia Forums), and finally agl89′s Dissidia DLC Tool.

These are the programs that come to me off the top of my head, I use all of these in one way or another when making mods.

Because, Witch Time! Or something like that lol.

Teaser for mods to come.

Since it has been nearly two years since my last channel trailer, I thought it was time for a change. Now presenting the new Deraj8 channel trailer, featuring a multitude of content I have released.

What would it look like if you have to hand in a report to Emperor Mateus? More or less like this new costume for him! The Emperor of the Office Garb. Because who doesn't want to be called an insect at where they work?
