Preparing Models for Tekken7 mods

Disclaimer:

1- You NEED to set up Blender properly before following my guide Importing Custom Meshes to Tekken 7 using Blender

2-The guide is for already rigged models.

Tips

• Before and after editing your mesh in blender, select your custom mesh and hit Ctrl+A (Apply all transforms) so the scale and rotation don't get messed up when you mod it into the game.
• If your using Blender, It's best to Follow Saiki tutorial on how to fix bone roll issue without 3ds max for rigging
• Be patient, this takes time.

For this guide, I will import Leo's Tag2 head to Tekken7.

1- Open 2 Blender projects, 1 has the T7 mesh and the other has a non-Tekken7 mesh.

Since I'm modding the head only, I just need Leo's T7 head.

2- Enter weight Paint mode, rename all Vertex groups according to the T7 mesh Vertex groups.

3- get the T7 head mesh needed, try to make the head size match.

4- Get an upper body mesh, turn on snapping to vertex and connect the neck to the body.

5- Select your mesh then the armature, hit Ctrl+p and select Armature deform. Go to pose mode and test.
