Do you still have those Jack and Gabe models?

Yep, why would I delete those?

Is it possible to re-join an armature with a model?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but I'm not familiar with this topic, especially in case of Blender.
The procedure will depend on whether you still have weightmaps or not.
But even if you do have weightmaps - the main problem is the usual number of bones in humanoid skeletons.
Each bone must be reattached (in modo's term's - "bind") to corresponding weightmap.
And I never saw anything to make this automated (but I never searched thoroughly)

"Automatic weights" leads to very strange posing when re-parenting a mesh to its original skeleton, so it's better to save the time and give up on it. If reimport is an option, that's what should be done.
Do you know how to port something, so the position of it is in the 0,0,0 of the XPS coordinate system?

Root bone (or pivot, for props) should have zero start coordinates

Is it possible that Blender and XPS have different start coordinates?
Because I didn't change anything regarding the position.

I just made an experiment:
took that "snow patroller" and lowered the root by 0.8m, then resaved as FBX. Opened in Max and exported as mesh.ascii.
And as I expected - the model is half-buried under ground.
Yesterday I tried it with default zeroed root and it looked ok in XPS.

I tried to work with Max, but there are always export errors.
I'd rather not risk that for the time being. At least in Blender, I crashed neither of my programs.
Do you want me to figure out how to fix Snow Patroller myself or will I not be able to because it*s too advanced?
I was told that even his mask is optional. That would be truly rad.

What exactly is in SnowPatroller to figure out?
I did what I could. Check your notes.

The weird turquiose texture and black patches, but you removed all of them successfully.
How can I replicate that result?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not sure about turquoise, but black patches in XPS appear when you use full-range lightmaps.
XPS shows pure white as black for some reason. So just apply output white level correction in Photoshop.

There were lightmaps?
Where?
As far as I know, the model only had specs, norms and diff maps.

But there weren't any lightmaps, were they?
Did you find any when you fixed Snow Patroller?

In Snow Patroller, the one that exhibited those weird black and turquoise patches all over its surface.
Really? In XPS, there was nothing, at least.
And I removed all MSRAO related maps in Blender, so I don't know why it was still there after export.
I should look into this once more.

You used Max again?
I still haven't manage to disable that particular function on my PC.
But that's okay, I'll wade through those first before trying anything else again:

I know. Let me try all the other approaches first before going to this particular place again.
As for Max - I wouldn't use it for anything else, either, because I'm already overwhelmed with Noesis, DAZ Studio and Blender.

Don't get too drunk.
Jk

I won't get drunk cause I'm non-drinker.
