I am trying to load the Agent model from DarkMATTER 2 in the AGK2 trial version, and while the model animates, some vertices seem to be misplaced (check the attached image).

I want to start a new game and I would like to use DM2 sci-fi models for it. Are there any plans to support them correctly or release a new pack for AppGameKit?

Thank you in advance.

That looks like an issue I had at one time. It was due to clamping a bone to another bone for IK, so the foot would have a natural arch during movement. Either AppGameKit doesn't support that, .dae doesn't support it, or blender doesn't export it correctly. I think one has to be very careful with certain constraints.

Is that a model that was included with the trial pack?

It's a model from the DarkMATTER 2 pack, that was sold by TGC in the past.

Oh... also I think scaled bones may cause an issue like that.

I tried to google that pack and came up short. Looks pretty neat!

TGC removed the page for the product.

It looks like the original author still sells the models on Turbosquid, although you have to get several packs to get all of them, and the price is higher than DarkMATTER 2:

Nice. Still not a bad price for that many characters. I can't find any good models in the Unity asset store for a good price.

I am very curious if its just a scaling issue on the bones. Have you opened it in blender?

The model is in DirectX format, which is not supported by Blender AFAIK.
