Help with 3dcgarts webgl models

[o0DemonBoy0o]

I am interested in models from 3dcg-arts.net

you can get the models by using
http://www.3dcg-arts.net/api/model/get/ ... ormat/XXXX

were you replace XXXX with the number of the model
for example I used
http://www.3dcg-arts.net/art/3687

so the link to the model would be
http://www.3dcg-arts.net/api/model/get/ ... ormat/3687

Anyway, looking in the file and sorting the numbers after "faces:" I get something like

Code: Select all

43,  2,3,1,0		 ,1,		0,1,2,3,0,0,0,0,
42,  5,6,4			,2,		4,5,6,1,1,1,
42,  6,7,4			,2,		5,7,6,1,1,1,
42,  7,8,4			,2,		7,8,6,1,1,1,
42,  8,9,4			,2,		8,9,6,1,1,1,
42,  9,10,4		  ,2,		9,10,6,1,1,1,
42,  10,5,4		  ,2,		10,4,6,1,1,1,
43,  13,14,12,11	,2,		11,12,13,14,2,2,2,2,
43,  15,16,14,13	,2,		15,15,12,11,3,3,3,3,
43,  19,20,18,17	,2,		11,12,13,14,4,4,4,4,
43,  21,22,20,19	,2,		15,15,12,11,5,5,5,5,
43,  25,26,24,23	,2,		11,12,13,14,6,6,6,6,
43,  27,28,26,25	,2,		15,15,12,11,3,3,3,3,
43,  31,32,30,29	,2,		11,12,13,14,7,7,7,7,
43,  33,34,32,31	,2,		15,15,12,11,5,5,5,5,
43,  37,38,36,35	,2,		11,12,13,14,8,8,8,8,
43,  39,40,38,37	,2,		15,15,12,11,3,3,3,3,
43,  43,44,42,41	,2,		11,12,13,14,9,9,9,9,
43,  45,46,44,43	,2,		15,15,12,11,10,10,10,10

What I want is something that can look for the the first 4 numbers after a 43, for example "2,3,1,0", add one to the numbers, making it "3,4,2,1", and writing it out as
3/3/3 4/4/4 2/2/2 1/1/1

For every 42 I want it to do the same except only to the first 3 numbers after it.

So doing that to the text above I should get

Code: Select all

3/3/3 4/4/4 2/2/2 1/1/1
6/6/6 7/7/7 5/5/5
7/7/7 8/8/8 5/5/5
8/8/8 9/9/9 5/5/5		
9/9/9 10/10/10 5/5/5		
10/10/10 11/11/11 5/5/5
11/11/11 6/6/6 5/5/5
14/14/14 15/15/15 13/13/13 12/12/12
16/16/16 17/17/17 15/15/15 14/14/14
20/20/20 21/21/21 19/19/19 18/18/18
22/22/22 23/23/23 21/21/21 20/20/20
26/26/26 27/27/27 25/25/25 24/24/24
28/28/28 29/29/29 27/27/27 26/26/26
32/32/32 33/33/33 31/31/31 30/30/30
34/34/34 35/35/35 33/33/33 32/32/32
38/38/38 39/39/39 37/37/37 36/36/36
40/40/40 41/41/41 39/39/39 38/38/38
44/44/44 45/45/45 43/43/43 42/42/42
46/46/46 47/47/47 45/45/45 44/44/44

Is there an easier way to do thing than by hand? Some kind of tool I can use?

hmm, I thouht the bold groups being the faces; m maybe the material value.

43, 2,3,1.....0..(m=1)..0,1,.....2,3,0.....0,0,0
42, 5,6,4.....(m=2).....4,5,6.....1,1,1,

so it's

Code: Select all

f 3 4 2
f 1 1 2
f 3 4 1
f 6 7 5
f 5 6 7

looked like triangle strips. But the object I got still having some hollow faces.

So I used your strange mix of triangles and quads and bingo:
astonishingly it's ok:

btw: any "public tool" might violate the copyrights of the model owners.

Lines starting with 43 are quads and lines starting with 42 are tris.
What I posted was correct.

Ignoring the UVs and normals I got this

All I really need is a way to automate the processes I explained in the first post rather than fixing each line one by one.


Edit:
Well I'm not looking to share the models or use them as my own.
All I really want to to extract some of them to use as reference material, but I can see how it could violate copyrights.

You'll need skills in a programming language.

edit: I could send you some "C" code which performs the "data sorting" but which does not extract the models.
Do you think you could compile it using CodeBlocks for example?

Yeah, that's what i'm lacking.
I'm not sure what to use or how to start.

hmm, I edited it before I read your post, I swear.

Ok, let's start with an exe file. Will take some time to PM it. - edit: DONE
