(PSMD Only) Model Mod

After creating a model mod, can I open the files right away or do I have to do something before opening them in spica or ohana? Because I did the mod and tried opening the files in both programs and it said unsupported file or something like that.

You shouldn't have to do anything more. Just be sure you're opening the correct files. Spica and Ohana won't be able to read the BGRS files, but they can read the BCH files. After opening a BCH, you can then import the BCHSKALA and BCHMATA (or whatever they were) files, which are animations for the BCH. You can mix and match models and animations for extra fun.

Hello,

So I seem to have an issue when exporting the models and animations from PKMN Super Mystery Dungeon. For the most part, everything gets extracted perfectly fine and I can view almost all of the PKMN's models and animations. But for some reason, some PKMN like Gastly/Chandelure/Gengar (there's probably more I've missed, those are just ones I instantly noticed) are missing animations like wait, walk, or sleep. Do they perhaps use a "default" skeletal animation from another PKMN or am I just missing some files...? And how would a PKMN like Gastly use the sleep skeletal animation for the starter mod if it doesn't have one? In the end I don't really think i'm missing anything since, again, for most PKMN everything extracts fine but i'm curious what you think nonetheless!

Thank you!

Each Pokémon has their own individual model, but most of the animations for those models are shared among similar body types. Which animation comes from where is defined in the BGRS file corresponding to the model, but unfortunately, there's no UI for that right now. However, there is a UI for another file that can help: /BaseRom/Raw Files/RomFS/pokemon_graphics_database.bin. Open that in Sky Editor using File -> Open, and type in the name of the BGRS: 

In this example, the generic body type is "float_body_00", so if you look in that folder in the model project, you'll see a bunch of generic animations:

These can be imported into your choice of modeling program such as SPICA or Ohana.

Each of the generic animation sets contains an animation for sleeping in a dungeon. The starter mod will independently copy those over to apply to the overworld.

I dont know where is the link to download that mod ))):

Hello

So I was went though all the steps and I think I'm doing everything right. I am trying to recolor the Mudkip family to be there shiny form and I have all the portraits recolored and the textures for the models done. I replaced the portraits with the recolors and they seem to be working good in the recompiled rom. I'm having trouble with the 3d textures I replaced them with simple recolors and they look good in Ohana3ds but when I recompiled the rom the textures work some times with little bits not colored and other times the textures are all over the place like all over the screen. I tried different roms for the source and I've tried just using the model mod and still bugy. I'm also having problems with the starter mod to play nice with the model mod as the game wont even work with both on I don't think I'm getting any errors but I'm sure there is something small I'm not doing right I just don't know what that could be. 

I figured out what I was doing wrong I got the texture swap to work now which makes me very happy though I'm still having compatible issues with the model mod and the starter mod though.

Are those textures from one of the main games like Pokémon oras, sumo? If so, how did you get the eyes to work correctly? Mine just show black eyes
