Hormagaunt¶

A simple example of making a hormagaunt with a big head.

Put cc_hormagaunt.usf from the SampleUsf folder into Model Converter folder and run the following comand:
```
ModelConverter.exe --no-skin ./cc_hormagaunt.usf
```
Import the resulting GLTF file into Blender.
Delete the .root. node and rename ROOT into hierarchy.

This is the non-skinned part of a character: locators and CDT meshes.
Convert cc_hormagaunt.usf like usual, without the –no-skin option and add it to the mesh as well.
Perform a similar cleanup procedure, but this time remove every rigid mesh and locator from under the ROOT node by deleting them completely, then move skinned geometry into according places under skinned_geometry. You will also find the same mesh in PremadeTemplates folder. It is recommended to take it from Premade Templates, because all those steps are only for the GLTF and Blender limitations.
hierarchy — contains all non-skinned meshes and locators. Locator and the bone are the same for the game and, during convert, skeleton and hierarchy of locators are merged.
ROOT — bones.
skinned_geometry — all the skinned geometry and its grouping.
Hide everything but head-related geometry and CDT (head_01, head_02, head_03, head_04, LODs, and HEAD_cdt).
Switch to the Cursor Mode and move it to the back of the head.
Switch to the Selection Mode and select everything.
Set transform pivot as 3D Cursor. Press S and scale the head.
Export the model and check the result.

Additional exercise: replace all head variants with different geometry of your choice. Extra points if it’s a meme.
