KK Blender Porter Pack

Key features:

• Character Export from Koikatsu: Export the character’s mesh, armature, and color data.
• FBX File Saving: Once characters are set up in Blender, they can be saved as FBX files for use in other programs.
• Face Shapekeys: Shapekeys from Koikatsu are preserved when importing, with partial shapekeys combined into single shapekeys for convenience.
• Tear and Gag Eye Shapekeys: These are separated from the body and automatically linked to the body’s shapekeys through drivers.
• Body Seams: A “merge by distance” operation is performed on the body to remove visible seams, with an option to disable this feature.
• Object Organization: Provides a default organization for objects after importing, with some variations depending on the enabled options in the Koikatsu KKBP Exporter panel.
• Armature Layers: The KKBP armature hides some bone layers to reduce clutter, with a panel in the Data tab to manage these layers.
• Joint Corrections: Utilizes helper bones for better mesh deformation, with bone constraints and drivers for joint corrections.
• KKBP Armature Features: Includes eye controller bone, hand and leg IKs, a heel IK, and a center bone for moving all bones at once.
• Rigify Armature Features: Offers additional features like IK to FK sliders, limb stretches, tweak bones, finger IKs, and head look targets.
• KKBP Material Setup: Provides a template for material setup, including light and dark versions of materials, rim effects, and color saturation conversion to match Koikatsu visuals.
