When running the setup, the add-on executes the following automated steps for Zenless Zone Zero:

  • Set Up Character: Imports the .fbx mesh, cleans vertex groups, and standardizes bone hierarchies.
  • Set Up Materials: Replaces default Blender materials with custom ZZZ Toon Shader nodes, automatically binding diffuse, lightmap, eyeshadow, and color ramp textures.
  • Set Up Outlines: Applies geometry-node inverted-hull outline modifiers to all character meshes for crisp line art rendering.
  • Fix Transformations: Resets location, rotation, and scale transformations.
  • Rig Character: Integrates the specialized jideeh ZZZ Face Rig and configures breast/torso physics controls.
