How to create CrewBoom Characters for BRC using the Giygas method

[@projectalpha22_va]

Fuck yeah, someone else finally made one, I'm FREEE!!! Nice work!

I'd buy you dinner if I could. You're a hero on this.

[@yofwill]

You are a godsend blessing to us all. Thank you!!

[@petrikillos]

You all are too kind

whenver i import my model into unity it complains about it having an invalid avatar rig configuration, required human bone "Hips" not found, when there is one. the mesh also apparently has invalid normals too. just asking to see if its an issue with the model or something else.

[@petrikillos]

That's because you MUST NOT have a "hips" bone. Make sure your bone names match the ones shown in 2:25 exactly, and that there's no additional "in between" nodes. Sorry for the late reply, I have not checked this in a while.

I have a question. I have never once noticed fingers move in this game, why does making sure the fingers have the correct roll matter?

[@petrikillos]

Phone and spraycan related animations depend on them (also for the dances).

Note que hablas español y aprovechare para hacer preguntas Mi modelo necesita tener todos los huesos con todos los nombres? Si mi modelo es muy simple y no tiene manos ni pies, que hago?

[@petrikillos]

Puedes hacer un esqueleto a mano usando blender, pero te va a costar porque luego tienes que hacer el rig. Yo he hecho alguno, y es bastante tedioso (no es difícil de aprender, pero igual tardas unas horas en que te quede bien).

[@CherryChrii]

yo jus wondering what happens if you just ditch the fingers entirely? would the game allow you to do that or do you HAVE to add fingers lol

[@petrikillos]

Sorry for the late reply. It will still work, but the hands will look off (especially when dancing, using the phone and shaking the spray can)

[@OperOpposite]

at 6:45 what did you say to do here because i cant understand the word you said sorry

[@petrikillos]

"Before proceeding, make sure to call all of the bones exactly as the ones in the provided skeleton" Basically just make sure that your base skeleton structure matches the one in 2:25, without any extra bones in between (you can add additional bones parented to these later, but the main part of the skeleton needs to look like that); it's a bit redundant, but it's necessary to clarify it because even if you roll the finger bones, if there's extra parts in the skeleton between root and the hands, Unity won't detect them correctly and they won't work.

Hi,I'm running into a bit of a problem that I do not know how to solve since I don't have expertise in this kind of stuff. I'm trying to make work a couple of characters from GameBanana (Phos and Diamond (Houseki no Kuni)) that were originally conceived for SGiygas BRC Custom Characters, but now CrewBoom is used instead. The problem is that the data from that mod doesn't come with a CBB & JSOn of the characters so when I drag the files to CrewBoom i assume they don't load for that reason. Is there a way to get the characters to load ? Idk what to do, thanks in advance.

[@petrikillos]

Your best bet here is to ask the original porter of the mod for the blender files and port them yourself. AFAIK, the files for the older mod don't work with Crewboom (and I doubt there's a way of making them work; the files are probably handled differently and have their data arranged to be read in a specific way that Crewboom probably doesn't support).

[@literallyatank9263]

@@petrikillos Thanks for the rapid answer still, I tried contacting the mod creator, at the moment I managed to make the mod work without crewboom, more than enough for me atm. Big fan of the show!

[@RefluxCitadelRevelations]

I know there's the discord for help, and I have been using it, but I can't seem to find a consistent answer on this: if the mode preview in unity doesn't show animations and none of the clickable buttons for the idle pose or walking pose don't do anything and then when ported over - they still don't have any animations, what is the most probably cause? I did have to set the root in Unity because for some reason it wasn't registering in Blender, and everything else ended up checking out, but those animations won't play. Could that be issue? Thank you for a great tutorial - really has been helping me understand this stuff better - just need this small fix.

[@petrikillos]

It's probably an export issue. Make sure you are using the aRibeiro exporter with the settings provided, and that the skeleton has the exact bones renamed to what is shown in 2:30 (+ the hand bones shown in the bone rolling part if you want those animated too). Feel free to ping me in the Team Reptile discord and I'll hop on a call with you (my user is Petrikillos) if you need help doing this (or if what I suggested doesn't work; we can figure it out together in that case).

[@RefluxCitadelRevelations]

@@petrikillos thanks, mate. I ended up figuring it out and it was the naming of the root at that was the issue, took a lot of trial and error but I got it working. 👍

[@petrikillos]

@@RefluxCitadelRevelations Nice!

[@kesshikou]

I'd like to add a spray to an existing brc mod that doesn't have a spray. I'm struggling however with importing the character from a cbb file into unity

[@petrikillos]

Your best bet is to ask for the original mod creator for the FBX files and then do the entire unity step. Crewboom editor doesn't have an option to import from cbb files directly (which makes sense, because it could lead to people stealing released models and things like that).

[@marce4092]

The links don’t work :/

[@petrikillos]

It's because KZbin needs to ID me to show links in the description, so they won't work until sometime tomorrow. I'll post a comment with the links and pin it bc apparently KZbin doesn't check those.

PQ HABLAS EN INGLES SI ERES ESPAÑOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARAJO

[@petrikillos]

Porque la comunidad es mayoritariamente angloparlante. Si quieres enviame DM por discord y te explico lo que no entiendas del proceso (estoy en el discord de Team Reptile como Petrikillos).

[@zarphus8087]

PLEASE get a pop filter for your mic.

[@petrikillos]

I know, I'm really sorry. I keep listening to the guide myself bc I constantly forget about how to do stuff, and my lip smacking sounding THAT LOUD makes me cringe bad.
