This was a monster for me to figure out. Thank you to all the homies in my discord who helped me out in bringing this to you. Link for server in Desc!

I'm slowly gearing up to try and play around with this, albeit I've been wanting to do it with FFXIV stuff and maybe rip from Elden Ring/DS3, too, so this is incredibly helpful. Thanks :)

Lol just last week I followed your tutorial for ds3 to import a model into elden ring. Nice to see a guide made specific to ER👍

[menik]

Hey, thanks a lot of this video, really paves the way. Appreciate it.

[MundusFate]

Could you also do the gauntlet, thighs please😭😭

[BilliamTorpedo]

Gonna try and make a Leon set for a greatknife+parry and a repeating crossbow playthrough lmao

[katanamaru]

Thanks for the guide! I haven't liked any armors I've found in ER as much as the ones in DS3.

In this example if I wanted to remove a segment from the black knight armor where would I do that? Like the skirt, hip plates, or spikes? When you're naming them would you just delete the mesh?

Hello! I have a question; Let's say I wanted to mod an armor set that was completely custom and 3D-modeled and textured from scratch. In that case, would there be any extra steps for rigging the armor in blender? Or does this modding process automatically rig the armor along with the body? Sorry if this question doesn't make sense haha

[TheWolfalpino]

I don't understand a couple of things: How do you get the male/female body to use as a reference for re-shaping the armor piece, how you link it to an armor, or how you generally connect the armor pieces to the "armor/skeleton".

When i import them they look like they are just attached to something instead of dressing it and following its movements.
How do you achieve these things?

How to get the body model is my first question anyway

[yellowflash]

where can we find the ER base template mesh/blend file.

[oscarchavez]

Out of curiosity: How come most armor mods for Elden Ring and such other games replace an existing model, rather than introducing it as its own item set?

[Elisa-yhxr]

can't find bbtools every time i click on link takes me to nothing.

Why we cant plug a roughness map?? 15:22

Hello! Sorry about asking questions in an old video, but i encounter a problem where my armor "t poses" in the game even though i have transferred the mesh data onto it. Do you have any idea why this happened? Does it have something to do with the source layer selection? Thanks sm for all the tutorials btw!

Edit: I’ve figured out what’s wrong, in case anyone with the same problem wonders: make sure you select “skeleton” (the base model bone) on “object” in the armature tab

[Leon-wiur]

Thanks for the guidance, it helped a lot. There is a small question, where can I get the parts list for chr id's?

[ScrillaGorilla]

I've done some weapon imports and I'm having the issue you mentioned of the textures looking really dark. It looked alright when I altered the brightness in ps, but the entire mesh disappears when I apply a weapon buff that applies a color to the entire, such as order's blade. Any idea how I might be able to fix this? Thanks for the guide, they're always helpful

[Dhieen]

Transfering mesh data? what is this sorcery?? looks amazing
Like you re parent the armor to the skeleton?

[oryanstreeval]

broseph! whered you get the base model?

[Jnrose]

Please can you tell me how to remove items and clothing from bosses/NPCs?? Example remove the robes from the beast clergy??

[matsujpg]

Why does my custom helmet not move with the body? I've transferred mesh data, but it always stays static to the shoulders instead of moving with the characters head.
