Mesh Tips

How To Install a Custom Mesh

1. Use the Mesh link on the Hero Recipe page to download the mesh. (it's all in a ZIP file)

2. Assuming you installed FF to the default path, create a folder for the mesh under
C:\Program Files\Irrational Games\Freedom Force\Data\Art\custom_characters

For example, the "male_muscular" mesh would go in:
C:\Program Files\Irrational Games\Freedom Force\Data\Art\custom_characters\male_muscular

3. Unzip the ZIP file you downloaded into this new folder (preserving all subfolders, etc.)

4. If the Hero Recipe page also specifies a skin, make a skin folder under the new mesh folder and unzip the skin files into it.

For example, if downloading HyperGuy, you would create this folder:
C:\Program Files\Irrational Games\Freedom Force\Data\Art\custom_characters\male_muscular\SKINS\HYPERGUY

 

Custom Animations (Keyframes)

Some meshes do not come with animations (these are files called "keyframes.kf"). This is done to make downloads smaller, since lots of meshes use the same keyframes files. If you notice that your hero on a new mesh isn't moving or able to use all his powers, you may need to download a keyframe file place it in the mesh folder.

For example, Superguy's animations file would be placed in:
C:\Program Files\Irrational Games\Freedom Force\Data\Art\custom_characters\male_muscular\

The handy chart below shows which keyframes to use for specific meshes that I've used for my recipes.
If a mesh that I've used is not listed, it means that the mesh download includes a keyframes file.
