Thank you for your work! What news about position/rotation submeshes? I watch your sources - you use only transform matrix44 only for positions submeshes (without rotations), but class ChunkNode has Pos and Rot properties but don't use it - what is it? Crap, was on vacation when you asked this. Fro...

Also some interesting read on row-order and column-order matrices https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/row-major-vs-column-major-row-vectors-vs-column-vectors/ If we look at the examples from open.gl, the translation part is stored in the 4th column, while in your case it is in the 4th row. Dep...

Actually the math behind matrices is not as hard. What you usually need is just multiply your 4x4 matrix by your vector without bothering about what's in it. https://open.gl/transformations and https://www.opengl.org/archives/resources/faq/technical/transformations.htm can give you an idea. Also no...

Hi everyone, This is more general 3D format questions. I'm having problems getting bits and pieces of models into the right place, and it's because I don't quite know how to parse a transformation matrix to find the proper location and rotation for a given part. Let me start with some simple example...

Ok, I fixed the dreaded exploded geometry issue for Cryengine files! It turns out to be several factors: (@revelation, if you want the code specifics for your cryengine_cgf.dll for Noesis, I'll be happy to share them with you) 1) The transform vector is in 2 places. A Vector3 called Transform, and t...

Just based on question 4 I get the feeling that the interest in maintaining the website is waning. But, it does have a rather unique place in the internet, being focused on reverse engineering existing game files. I don't know of any other site that is remotely comparable. I'm probably one of the ol...

Ok, I think I'm getting it... 3 floats for the vertices, 2 half floats for the UVs? Grr...nope 0.0000000 0.0078574 NaN 2.0976560 -0.3044434 0.0000000 0.0078260 -512.0000000 -1.1455080 -0.2954102 0.0000000 0.0078260 -664614000000000000000000000000000000.0000000 -1.1435550 -0.3085938 Got it I think......

Hi everyone, I have found an interesting data structure for newer Cryengine games that is a confusing me. It's a 16 byte structure that's part of an unknown datastream, but I'm thinking it contains vertex, normal and UV information... or some subset of that. Here is a few samples: 00 48 ea 2a 54 bc ...

MechWarrior Online and Star Citizen. Probably other modern Cryengine (3.4+) games as well.

See my post here for the tool to do that:

Edit: Add Armored Warfare to the list.

Cryengine Importer! This replaces the 2 powershell scripts Asset Importer and Mech Importer. It's been consolidated into a Blender add-on, written in python, and a new Prefab Importer feature has been added. You can find this new tool at: https://www.heffaypresents.com/github The tutorial video on h...

Oh, and I forgot to print up the transformation matrix as well. I'm sure that has some factor in where to put all the objects. is that transformation matrix correct? i'm not familiar with blender but shouldn't the translation be in the forth col? It's very likely transposed. I guessed on the i vs j...

OK, running out of ideas. Each node chunk imports great. The center is placed at 0,0,0. If I try to apply the Node's position Vector, all the nodes shoot out all over the place. When it says one node is located at 0,0,0 and another (that should be attached) is at 0,0,6 when the Position is applied t...

Getting really close to having my Cryengine converter up and running! http://i.imgur.com/Y8jkEFh.png The mesh is nice and clean, the materials and UV all line up right, and everything is fine *except* I can't figure out where to put each of the objects. Each submesh as a Center object, which is just...
