WRC 7 .P3D models

One thing though: Could you point me as to where the face indices can be found or how to find them in the RIFF node?

See the indx chunk on your picture.

Anyways, here's the zip with uvs contained:
https://www7.zippyshare.com/v/3yF3IYqF/file.html

Some uvs may need some scaling (1.5?) but the selected one in the picture obviously not:

I presume the Makeobj thingy you mentioned is for Blender, yes?

Alright, noted.

Output is (one) wavefront .obj with submeshes (see zip file) so any 3D app should do.

Yeah I know that. I was actually referring to the Make_obj project with C source code.

The Make_obj project is not blender specific, it creates wavefront obj outputs which can be read by most 3D apps.

(But it wouldn't help you that much if you don't know 'C'.)

I see, so it's a standalone application then.

btw, we'd need a decent Riff viewer with the ability to export the hierarchy.

The one I have stops at node 32 for some unkn reason:

What RIFF viewer are you using? Mine's RIFFPad but that one seems pretty spartan and lacking certain features.

[shakotay2]

It's Riffview, but it misses the 2nd half of the nodes, too bad. So I decided to get a C# project from the inet, RiffparserDemo which allowed me to create some position2node list manually. There's some things I don't understand so far, so for example
J_Bumper_BL_10, J_Bumper_BR_11, J_Bumper_FL_12, J_Bumper_FR_13 which don't appear in that list.
Also the wipers need the rotation applied.

(node names are still messed up but I'm too lazy to care for hierarchy.)

The missing nodes could probably account for why I don't seem to be getting the high-quality windscreen, rear window and a few others.

Problem is that some NoHe names don't seem to be connected to a mesh because they are "joints"
such as J_Bumper_BL for example.

I really don't have the patience to crawl through that damned hierarchy to decide how to assign the meshes to the "real" mesh names.
As for example D_Exhaust, D_Exhaust_Flash and Exhaust seem to share one mesh.

D_B_Wing_L, D_B_Wing_R, D_Wheel_F/ _R don't have vpos sections.

Astonishingly I found a name sorting algo that's totally simple (so it may give faulty results):

Code: Select all

   // assign names
   cnt=0 ;
   for (i=0;i<SMcnt;i++) {              //
        while (addrList_arr[cnt]<Vaddr_arr[i]) cnt++ ;
        cnt-- ;
        strcpy(szSM_Name[i], szSM_Name[cnt]) ;
        fprintf( stream, "# %d %s\n", i, szSM_Name[i]) ;
   }

From mesh number 58 to 70 everything is labeled Wing_L_58, that's probably wrong so rename them, please.
Also some meshes remain clumped in the middle.

That's 'swell. Is there anything else that's needed to be done? Might send some more samples when I have the time. And no worries if you don't have the patience to do the rest of the format either, I'm not in a rush for things anyway.

In regards to part positions, Szkaradek123 over at Zenhax mentioned about the NoHe node containing the necessary bone/skeleton stuff:

Not nice, huckleberrypie, to let people work in parallel, on zenhax and here on xentax.
I'll stop my investigations.

Oh, sorry about that mate, I didn't mean to disappoint you on this one. If you no longer feel like working on this one, fine, but please, I really didn't mean to burst your bubble on this. All I did was ask for a second opinion and all, not to tick you off royally.
