Description Port damn responsibly. Follow the rules of your initial poster or so help me I'mma set all your asses on fire.

*Download for fullview.
*model credit to Otzipai-Art here on DA.

Things you will need:
Noesis 4.12 or higher
Noesis XNALara Plugin
XNALara/XPS 11 or higher
VG Cats Blender Plugin (Follow the install instructions listed there.)

*This does not port sliders. Anything that uses a slider, such as expressions, will not come with the model itself. If the model does not use bones to pose anything, like the face, you will lose the ability to pose the face. Re-rigging or swapping the face with an already rigged one via mesh-mod will be your only options.

If you encounter an issue, try these solutions first.

XPS Tools
1. Convert your .fbx into .mesh.ascii with Noesis
2. Use XPS Tools  to import the .mesh.ascii into Blender
3. Using that tool, export out as untitled.mesh (not mesh.ascii, just .mesh)
4. Drag and drop your .mesh into the posing window

XPS Tools V2
1. Use VGCats to convert to .fbx
2. Use Noesis to convert that .fbx to .mesh.ascii
2. Use XPS Tools  to import the .mesh.ascii into Blender
3. Export from Blender as .fbx.
4. Use Noesis to convert that .fbx to .mesh.ascii again.
5. Drag'n'drop that NEW .mesh.ascii into the XPS posing window. Success!(?) 
6. Assign textures using Material Editor
7. Use the Modify > Save Generic Item Menus to save your fixed model as needed.

The XPS Plugin for Noesis can also be found here

That's a really good tutorial, I didn't know about that CATS plugin! I usually import models with my pmd/pmx plugin, delete the rigid body stuff xps can't read, and save the model in the xps format. The only problem is that I have to manually re-assign all the textures, but it's easy, so I don't mind...but yeah, I think that plugin will be very useful.


...by the way, I'm SO SO SO ignorant, what are sliders?

saratogaroad In reply to asciapa-frush [2020-05-20 15:58:22 +0000 UTC]

Sliders are what MMD models usually use to pose facials rather than bones; like, XNA uses Eyebrow Right 1 to move the first portion of the right eyebrow, while MMD has a slider that will help to pose the entire brow structure. It's handy for fast posing, but because it's NOT a bone, the plug-in can't read it, so it gets left behind. Hence, no facial posing without replacing the head with one that has bones assigned in XNA.

Hah, after leaving it sitting in my drafts for like, months. Same steps I noted you, though, just with some visual aids.  YMMV on if they're actually helpful or not.
