Will you realease a tutorial about how to analysis bones&weights? :D I don't feel experienced enough with this, so 'no'. But I'm planning some kind of crash course on "How to build a skeleton from hex data". It's primary use is to spare me time, as always. (Could end up in some other ...

yep, on repeating patterns or using the knowledge that it's generally a multiple of 4 (in some rare cases it's multiple of 2, iirc 18 for example)

(Some games which I don't remember atm use model files containing a vertexbuffer "type".)

thx again. Got it loaded (so can spare the money for a new PC another month )

Hi, "UV pos" is the starting position of the uv data in the vertex (stride) block. The bytes 0 to 11 are used by 3 floats (first vertex), the bytes 12 to 15 are two half floats for tx, ty, the uv data. arcadia_mdl-uv.jpg You can expect to find a second texture set in the vertex block. As y...

reinventing the wheel is a waste of time. A solution exists - you should wait. Anyway - you'll need to exercise the tutorial sample (tut button) to understand hex2obj . (It's a helper tool for simple models only, not a one-click-solution.) Here's a point cloud (no face indices) from baby.mdl: babe_P...

Hello, i'm beginner in model[...] use mdl2obj.py @@ it got an error: module numpy not found. Hi, python is not the very best way to get 3D models being a beginner (imho). Download numpy https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy and try to get it working with your python installation. (Python package distu...

Ty for trying but couldn't load your max2013 version of the file neither with 3dsmax2013, 32 bit nor 64 bit It says: "was saved by a newer version of 3ds Max and cannot be loaded." (maybe a PC problem, it's very old, hope Santa is merciful sending me a new one... Santa, ... ,hello??). But ...

looks like zaramot's solution, with the bones hierarchy unsolved? Can't check it 'cause I don't have max2015.

well, it's such comments/attitude which prevent me from releasing sources

@WRS: GBL_item.BML -> XML, ok Then gbl_item_noconflict.xml -> BML, smaller than original BML That the BML filesizes differ should not be a problem (from my experiences with another game's binary/XML conversion) I logged br.BaseStream.Position ('Start' from your code) when trying to convert the small...

Hello, how i can open scn models? Please help me =D Hi and welcome to the forum! :) First of all: this is Seyren's grandiose thread on reversing animations. It's a WIP and imho it's not aimed at beginners. So you may run into many troubles when using it as your starting point with scn files. I reme...

Kudos for your assistance! :) edit: in file APU00FF.IPD I have obtained point clouds from something similar to a bulding + street rotating your scene I would guess it's not. [...]I will dump the psx ram for check if the IPD are decompressed ;) that's very likely since the uploaded IPDs are of small ...

well, after having had a closer look at the IPD file I've to confess that it's not as easy as I thought to extract a TMD from IPDs. There is none of the ten possible primitive lists contained. Sadly I don't have the time to restart a format analysis. You might try for yourself to get a decent point ...

ReeceMix wrote:What I meant with the Quick BMS comment was really , can you make a TMD extractor?

yep, but it would take me too much time to handle all ten different model types.
If you uploaded a model sample I could have a look at.

How do you recognize a "point cloud"? Maybe I can help here... Not to find the format, but in finding a useful file. That's a kind suggestion but it's not too easy. In the end you won't get a point cloud without knowing the format. The endian is little endian for PC and PS files, big endi...
