I'm suddenly getting dB crashes every time I try to run this or animer again, windows is updated fully, I've got all the latest visuals, dx9 refist is installed, and my graphics is up to date. I've tried every combination of compatibility and administrator, but nothing is working for me on windows 10

annnd ..I got it working again.

Recently I've been using a program called rocket dock to keep my desktop tidy, I tried loading FBX2GG while that was running, FBX2GG wouldn't run, immediately stating that db pro has stopped working, I turned off rocket dock and tried to load FBX2GG and boom it works fine.

Anyone with issues like this, make sure you have nothing else running except windows, try turning of things like mouse and keyboard software (like the G software for configuring your mouse etc), you never know what might conflict.

In the case of FBX2GG I've actually had more issues on Win7 than on Win10. With this last specific issue, i've tried it on both my machines (one Win7 one Win10) and both have issues when RocketDock is running, so it's not just a Win10 issue.

I think you're misunderstanding what this tool is, its a bit misleading in its title that way. Its not really a tool for importing fbx characters from modelling programs, its more a tool for importing fuse/mixamo and autodesk character creator models, and adding the gameguru or mixamo animations to them. You can import fbx characters from modeling programs but you need to make the bone structure exactly the same as mixamo rigs, with the same names etc.

I noticed tonight (haven't messed with this in a while) that Adobe is changing things up with Fuse in 2017. (they've already eliminated several export formats, UE4 included, however, I tested the generic .fbx, downloaded it, and it loaded fine in UE4 (with a few errors). I had no animations in it, though, and I think I noticed a few polygons that were either missing or had normals reversed) It will be interesting to see where it goes. My fear is that they will charge for rigging and/or decimation. It would be nice to have an auto rig solution for .obj exports from Fuse, so we could still use the program locally, and rig and export locally!

If i remember right and you are using the original Fuse, which is still available for free on Steam, it has an option to save it as an .obj file.

Also, where di you hear this juicy bit of news? The last i heard (spoke to one of their devs just before christmas), all work on Fuse was in indefinite hold due to other projects.

I know, but I suck at rigging! Anyway, yeah I'm using the original Fuse. Adobe's version doesn't run on any of my computers. Anyway, here's the link that I read about the changes:

Hmn interestng. This was a response from one of their devs, January 4th, in response to the bug with the new fuse that makes it think its a trial and stops you from running it after a certain amount of time.

Quote: "I appreciate both of your comments! It's often really hard to communicate these types of strategy/roadmap decisions so I appreciate both your frustrations and your patience.

The good news is that Fuse actually has pretty good usage and interest, if it wasn't doing well it would have been cancelled. Instead, we've decided to keep it as is, free, available for everyone, while we refocused resources on Project Felix. That is what I meant by support will continue - the application will be kept available and I'm here to help answer questions, gather feedback and share with the product team.

It always seems unfair when you are affected by an issue that should, by all means, have been fixed long ago, so I certainly don't want to downplay the seriousness of the issue, just to explain why it has not been fixed and try to be transparent.

We will continue to focus on Project Felix for the foreseeable future and are not planning any updates to Fuse for 2017."


I wonder what's going on over at adobe lol

I know what i am going to do though, i'm going to create as many characters as i can and download as many animations as i can just in case.

I like the response they sent you better than what I read, that's for sure! However,


Quote: "I know what i am going to do though, i'm going to create as many characters as i can and download as many animations as i can just in case."



I am going to do the same, just in case.

In fact I would recommend everyone do the same if they use it! I have all of their animations (I think) in my assets list on their site, but I'm afraid they may disappear when "Preview" mode goes away. It sounds like they want to integrate everything into Creative Cloud.

Ideally this would be awesome if it could import and rig characters from " Make Human "
Its open source and a standalone program and wouldn't have to rely on Fuse only ..

Every Makehuman character I've tried had way too many polygons. It's been a couple years at least, though. Perhaps they've made some changes? I don't believe I ever tried to decimate one, however.

Convert them into an fbx and stick them into mixamo decimator at around 75% m8 works for me if not use meshlab its sweet for lowering polys I use FBX2GG all the time atm brilliant bit of kit for converting characters over to GG without a doubt

Hi all,

Just wanted to inform all purchasers that a new version will be sent to you shortly. This fixes the reversed normals in the output.

Some of you guys are making awesome characters yet even after Decimation I get a lot of " DBPRO has stopped working " when I Prepare model for gameGuru animations ... Anything under 5 meg seems to convert fine ..any bigger and its really hit and miss ...

Am I missing something ?

Correct vertex normals will be important in the next versions of GG (I know from Lee), so I decided to release a new version 1.2 of FBX2GG. This version generates output .x files with the correct vertex normals. And what with the old .x files from previous versions? You can fix them easily with the MView. Open file, click by mouse on the character and choose from menu: MeshOps / Compute Normals, now you can save the file.
MView ia a free program and you can find it here:

I've found that it doesn't like it if you are running another piece of software hat's using DX9, and it really doesn't like it if you're running another piece of software made in DBPro at the same time.

I had this issue for ages and couldn't work out what was going on, it didn't appear to me that anything was running hat could effect it, then one day i just randomly tried to use it and boom it worked perfect, so i sat and thought to myself "what is different this time", and the only thing i could see different was i wasn't running a piece of software called RocketDock which i use to keep clutter off my desktop (it's basically an icon bar like the one on Macs), so i loaded it up and tried again est voila FBX2GG crashed.

Long story short: Have a look at what you are running in the background, and what resources they use, it may be a conflict.

Just a quicky guys for you who are struggling with rigging, i know Blender seems a pain but! it has rigify built in which actually is really easy to use in fact with my old brain after watching half hours of vids i rigged a Make human character and now have it down to 15 mins or so and or any other static character for that matter. You just need to get used to the shortcut keys which i wasnt used to s=scale r=rotate etc etc pretty easy all you do is import any static character, goto the bottom left of the screen, click add> armature and choose the rig. then its just a case of lining it up with your model and apart from a couple of last bits which can be found here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYiAd_08-0k
Export out as an .obj or fbx and your pretty much done, sometimes if mats are missing fragmotion adds then easily then straight into FBX2GG and your cooking worth a look anyways. TBH i never thought i'd be able to do it but i did 2 charcaters in around an hour. Or if you prefer you can after rigging just send em up to mixamo line up the bones (point and click) and again straight into FBX2GG and again straight into GG from there apart from the fpe but once you have a stock one its all copy and paste
Oh p.s @ Dave theres a real low poly mesh on the community downloads section of make human m8 its crap but if you drop it into your editor you can make it look alot better

Got a problem, and a really nasty one. Each humanoid I lod in, no matter if decimated or not, has no eyeballs.

I have had that issue before. If you are importing Fuse models, what are your auto-rig settings? I always choose 2 finger with no facial blendshapes. That seemed to have fixed that issue, I think. It's been a while. I really think it's the facial blendshapes that cause it, but I don't remember. Since then I've just stuck with what works.

As Jerry said, the reason you are missing the eyes is because you have facial blendshapes turned on when you set the rig in mixamo, turn that off and it should be fine. As to the rig type to use, two fingered should be fine as Jerry said, but to get it to closer match the GameGuru animations three finger is probably best.

It looks like my fbx2gg characters got a little goofed up in the latest GG update (2017-2-28). The character animations don't work, but it looks like Pirate Myke said that there is an update coming to fix this. So hopefully it's nothing to worry about. I am just letting folks know that this will be fixed. See this forum link:

I doubt that has anything to do with FBX2GG, FBX2GG characters are working perfectly fine for me. It's probably because of changes with the AI system, there's probably something that needs changing in the FPE's.

due to time and other commitments, I have decided to no longer support the FBX2GG software on the website and have requested this be removed. For orders, please contact Rafhalzer directly @ bodzio3d@gmail.com. Thank you.

To be honest he really needs a website for it, i trust Raf 100% but trading over email is something people just don't like doing. Maybe Jason at GCS could come to some agreement with him?

I'm having issues with the normals with version 1.2 - it seems as though the smoothing groups have gone. Using meshview improves things slightly, but the normals are still not what they should be. Has anyone noticed this or found a solution for it?
The image on the left is what it should look like, on the right is after going through FBX2GG.

Some weirdness happening with FBX2GG for me since the windows 10 creation update, for days I haven't been able to load FBX2GG, no matter what compatibility settings I tried, it just wouldn't run, almost instantly after clicking the icon it would throw up the "DBPro has stopped working" error, finally I decided to try a few other programs I have that were made with DBpro, and accidentally stumbled on a (hopefully) solution, if I load mender up, then close it, and then try to launch FBX2GG it runs perfectly. Some strange stuff going on here lol.

OK it wasn't that, I tried again last night and it wouldn't work even after loading another DBpro programme, I was fairly sure it is something running that was making it crash so I tried closing things down one by one and trying, finally I shut down something that was stopping FBX2GG loading, i made sure it was that program by loading it up again and trying to run fbx2gg, then shutting it down and trying again, again I've gone through that tonight to be sure and yes it's definitely the cause of the crashes.

You know what it was?

Steam!

For some reason FBX2GG crashes if i have Steam running in the background.

Weird. Works for me, too, regardless of what's running.

By habit, I do right click and 'run as administrator'. Did you happen to try that?

Run as Administrator always causes it to crash for me too.

As to Steam being the cause, i know it's not the actual cause, it's something in a configuration that may be common between Steam and FBX2GG, something Steam uses that FBX2GG also uses that's set differently on my machine. I'm not posting to say Steam breaks FBX2GG, i'm posting to say that if you get constant crashes you may have the same configuration as me, so try turning Steam off and see if that works.

Hi Guys, after post windows 10 update, did your UAC prefs change? I know most people don't like turning it off, but you might want to just try temporarily to see if it's that that's causing the crash. If not close/uninstall steam, maybe, that's just a suggestion to see what's causing the crash to occur. Possibly a memory issue somewhere. Speculation of course.
