Blender problems! Hat misplaced in TF2 after export!

Kanyl

Hello everyone!

Been following HellJumper´s tutorial on YouTube:

I imported the "sniper_reference.smd" model and worked from that head mesh. But after I parent the hat to the bone structure, bind it to "bip_head" and assign the polygons - it all seems perfect inside Blender:





But when I export it as SMD file and preview it in TF2´s "Cosmetics" - it is misplaced:





I have re-done it several times, but the results are always the same! I have apllied rotation, scale and location to 0 as in the tutorial and done everyhing right. I even tried with another model of the sniper and yet it didn't work!

So, anyone know the problem?

Can it be flipped normal?

Does the hat move whilst Sniper is doing his animations? (it's misplaced, but moves around)

Kanyl

I am 99% sure it has nothing to do with the normals

Yes, it does move with the character, even if it is slightly loose with a delay and goes through his head with some inches, before going back to start position. So it must be something with the binding after all I guess?

When you parented it to the head, did you make sure the weight was at 1.000?

Yes I did!

Problem solved! I tried one last time to delete the model, import it into the scene and re-do the process of binding the character. Somehow it worked and now everything is perfect as in Blender!

Hooray!
