HowTo: Mesh & Armature Setup

First, you need an armature/skeleton that the mesh is already rigged to, along with a FLVER file that uses the same armature.

For FromSoft player characters, it's recommended to extract the skeleton from fc_m_0000.partsbnd.dcx. Since FLVER files cannot be imported directly without external tools or addons, user suggested using the Aqua Toolset to export the model as an FBX, which can then be imported into Blender.

Warning

FromSoftware armatures are typically named Master. Make sure the armature in your Blender scene is renamed to Master, or the created physics will not work correctly.

Next, prepare the mesh you are creating physics or clothing for. It must be rigged to the same armature. Also mesh must be triangular, otherwise mesh will have missmatch with model you will later import in flver.

Enable Auto Normalize in Blender in weight painting mode in settings in the right

auto normilize setting

Or after finishing weight painting, go to Weight Paint Mode → Weights → Normalize All

normilize manually

There is also an option to use a proxy/simulation mesh (a simplified version of your model) for physics simulation and transfer its motion to the main mesh. This is useful if:

Your model is very high-poly
The mesh does not deform well during simulation

Note

The deformed mesh will inherit the proxy/simulation mesh’s weight painting.
