Custom Models

FAQ for custom models:

Where do I upload my obj files?

I use dropbox. See Using Dropbox. As long as the link is direct and the website has cross domain restrictions off (for sounds at least) it should work.

Does PAC support any other model format?

PAC supports .obj only at the moment.

Is there a size limit?

There isn't, but I recommend staying below 2 MB.

I'm getting black triangles, help!!

Try to duplicate the model in your 3D program and invert the faces of the duplicated version. This seems to fix it for most people. I'm not sure what's causing this problem in the first place. If you have any way of fixing this contact me.

Are you going to add a way to load custom ragdolls?

I doubt I will add support for this because they require me to render the geometry in Lua which is going to be very slow.

My custom model looks fullbright!

It's probably lacking normals so make sure you export with normals. I recommend using Meshlab to generate the normals. See the Using Meshlab page on how to use it specifically for custom models.

Where do I find custom models?

There are several places you can find custom models. I recommend looking at games that have mod support and then converting from there.

Check out the Converting Gamebryo Models page to see how to convert from games like fallout and skyrim. Or Converting Source Models to see how to convert mdl to obj.
