Real-life example would be nice.
I don't see what makes it efficient, considering how many combinations of RGBA values you could possibly have.

lol, I forgot to tell it to stop looping after it reaches the end.

Updated the test script.

You can use quickbms for batch processing.

The problem with that mesh file is that after the indices, there's a massive number of 00's.
...and then finally it gets to the vertices.

So my parser just keeps trying to read chunks and determining whether we've hit the vertex section or not, and it will not find it.

Refrain from going off-topic. Ask questions in the appropriate threads so it's easier to find answers.

The importer does not parse the file as well as I would like it to. Ogre3d doesn't have public specs and their documentation is really difficult to browse around. There seems to be extra stuff that the ogre tool is creating which I haven't seen before. Of course if I could read their documentation i...

Oh, I see it. Lol no more silly hacking-around code. Alright updated script to incorporate struct alignment. It should properly skip things now, unless someone sees something wrong with this algorithm: def get_padding(self, start, size): '''Return the amount of padding left to read''' padSize = size...

Works great

So I've been looking at a lot of PC games and find that MMO's and other PC games tend to have...pretty simple model formats. It looks like a lot of PS3 and 360 games have been getting out as well. Then I see games for PSP, PS2, and PS1...and those generally come with all sorts of headaches. And then...

Client link? Homepage? You can see that a lot of the models have 10k+ vertices, but then there's all this other data before I get to the vertex and index buffers. Vertices are 64 bytes each. It gives you the size of the vertex buffer and the size of the index buffer, so you can calculate how many ve...

Models are mdl files. Textures stored in tex files. A single tex file may contain multiple textures. Materials index into the texture file. The tex filename is the same as the model filename. It is a typical chunk based format. You have the tag, followed by chunk size, followed by two integers, foll...

The UV might need to be flipped.
Or...maybe it's just low-res.

Nope. Not sure why some of the models are different. Not sure what the issue might be either.

No textures are loaded because I don't use the xml file.
The correct way to load the model is to open the xml file for that model, which will load the meshes, materials, and animations.
