Hey, that's fine, though I (while I hate to tell you that after animating this whole thing) am currently working on updating this model. Improving a lot of stuff and all that, which includes armature changes. This update will replace the older versions so...yea.

Sorry for that, thought I can say for sure after the update his model will be a lot more easy to use.

Hi, I just finished a cyclical walking animation for this model and plan to post it in my Workshop content here. I ask your permission to proceed at pubblish and add you to my friends, to also have you appear as a collaborator of the aforementioned workshop contenet. Let me know thanks.
ps: If you want I can show you a preview from my YT channel.

Why do so many people not read the description? I am not the model creator, I just ported it.

OMJ I LOVE YOU MODEL !1!1!1!1!1

@Da-ma-reene use the one on sfmlab, has less confusing flexes, looks better imo, and he's wonderful to use in animations. This one is too confusing to use and most of the bones are in the unknown tab, which isn't convenient

(It's a nsfw model, but he has clothes just make sure to turn on the +18 and furry filter on )

Auto-rigger has nothing to do with Blender. It's solely for SFM. And I doubt that it doesn't work. make sure you have set up the rig correctly and applied it. Remember, the rig is saved as an individual rig. If you still have problems, add me on Steam so we don't bloat the comment section here

Just tried it and it doesnt change anything. And yes before ya ask, yes i watched the video

Oh awesome. I'll give it a try. Thanks. Can this also help with characters, weapons, creatures, vehicles, and items that I wanna try to import via blender? Ive been trying to start off with a simple detonator as an example to start with but blender keeps crashing everytime I wanna export it as an smd. Even after rigging it personally myself. I dont get it. Would that work for those instances?

It is an SFM addon. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=444750868

You open it by applying the "auto-rigger" rig to a model. It then opens a window where you can input which bones it should use as the hand bones, upper arm bones and so on. It will then save the rig with the same name as the model and you can apply it.

auto rigger? That on sfm or blender?

Huh? The auto-rigger creates a rig script for you that does just that. In fact, I recommend it for custom models as the scripts it creates don't make bones the rig doesn't use vanish.

That's the thing. That's the hard part. It doesnt simplify the rig. And unlike any tf2 character, I can simplify the rig to move them with ease so that way they dont stretch out all over the place and allows to move the limbs quite simpler. Without it, it's inching every single solitary detail with them just to make it work

I should say that I have no clue how to write rigs myself. I mainly use auto rigger for custom models and it does a decent job. It should work on Angel as well, though it will ignore his 2nd pair of arms. You'd have to animate them the old school way

well its just that with the facial expressions and such, there's just WAY too many of them. Some even look the same as another one does. And he doesn't even have a simplified rig. I am on a parody trying to get him to walk alongside an OC Scout. I managed to do a good walk cycle for him and he's done, but Dust will take even longer since he doesn't have a simplified rig. He's a little hard to work with

Once I have the time I should get to work on finally renaming his bones to make SFM categorize them. Should get rid of about half the bones in the unknown section. About the controls, I think you mean flexes, I am not good at making flexes myself, so I just used the ones that came with the model and tried giving the user as many options as possible. I get it, it isn't viable for animations, though it was never intended to be. Rather for renders.

Not to mention that there's WAY too many controls on him. Some of them are copy and pasted

Oh my god. Can ya be able to rig simplify him? Working with him on animations is a NIGHTMARE

like so i can export to gmod

Damn why can't this be on gmod

I did not make the model, so I have nothing to do with the flexes. I simply ported the model from Blender to SFM.

The flexes definetly weren't inspired by TF2. The flexes are based on faces Angel does in the pilot episode.

I might try to make more face flexes for him that mimic TF2/Valve flexes, but I suck at it soo

Oh and sometimes you are also making yourself in a more difficult situation when you put unnecessary flexes, and more bugs to manage

Criticism:
I feel like those facial expressions are confusing. I assume you took inspiration from TF2 mercs' facial flexes.
What do this or that facial expression flex do before I touch it first? Happy, sad, angry?

Just try to break it down its core and simplify a lot fewer flexes, to make easy to understand for new users next time.

the hair lied to me

ok

@h4w9z ;33 not sure if I will

can you port it to gmod please?

@NebelFoxy I agree. But most of the time I'd be looking at it from the front.

eh, the old one may have not been perfect, but it was decent if looked at from the side

YESSSS THE OLD ONE LOOKED SO UGLY

Love it!

3rd model of this, and its the best by far.

best angel dust model imo

Didn't really expect the gay spider boy the show up on here, but nice work.

oh good spider femboy
