Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
The program has been updated.
Update v2.4.2
- Finalized Hex-viewer.
- In the "3D View" tab, a button is added to return the camera to its initial position (useful if you centered on the object with incorrect coordinates).
- There was a version for Windows XP
Pro version:
- Added a Hex-Viewer.
- Added data inspector to Hex-viewer
- Fixed minor bugs

Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
A very nice tool, actually the best if coupled with TextureFinder !
I bought the Pro version, and started to learn using python with this tool !
( Already reversed a game with it (project gotham racing 2))

Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
Hi - your program has been a great help to me in extracting models from 'Inquistor - Martyr'
Could you provide a suggestion on how to read strings from the file using the BufferFile API. Every approach I try converts it to a numeric array or gives an error. My closest attempt is:
def getstring(fp,count):
new=""
strname=""
for x in range(count):
strname="{0}".format(fp.reads("s"))
new+=strname
fp.read(1)
return new
but it gives the following output for short word format strings with EBCDIC encoding:
Black_Legion_Marine_v17b_lamb_hitbox:
b'B',)(b'l',)(b'a',)(b'c',)(b'k',)(b'_',)(b'L',)(b'e',)(b'g',)(b'i',)(b'o',)(b'n',)(b'_',)(b'M',)(b'a',)(b'r',)(b'i',)(b'n',)(b'e',)(b'_',)(b'v',)(b'1',)(b'7',)(b'_',)(b'l',)(b'a',)(b'm',)(b'b',)(b'_',)(b'h',)(b'i',)(b't',)(b'b',)(b'o',)(b'x',)
any tips? I'm a novice at Python
thanks!

Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
Hi, I'm now working on Planet Hot Wheels files (.mxs) with the Model Researcher, but only half of they are decoded well, and they've got this first string: "*3DSMAX_ENGINE1EXPORTB2 200"
The other half, that I can't understand why, show like this, with the same method:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3r5iwqftk3f6c ... 6.jpg?dl=0
and they have got, as first string, this: "*3DSMAX_ENGINE1EXPORTFP 200".
Lazov, can you help me, please
P.s. I leave the 63corvette.mxs in attached:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3gcb6psczawhz ... e.MXS?dl=0

Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
The problem is when with the files .mxs with "*3DSMAX_ENGINE1EXPORTB2 200" show perfect on MR, despite the files .mxs with "*3DSMAX_ENGINE1EXPORTFP 200" (Like the 63corvette.mxs) show like a tangled cube, and the parametres are more or less the same.Lazov wrote:Fiammanera628, so what is the problem?

All files must be cars, not half of this cubes.

For example?Lazov wrote:When the vertices are in Short, they are divided by 256. But in fact they can be transformed differently.
(sorry, but I never studied computer programming, so can you explain simply?)

Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
Update v2.5
- Added the ability to make a screenshot and a screenshot with information
- Fixed minor bugs
I will try to add the normal vectors in the next update.
Fiammanera628, Short is an integer data type that takes 2 bytes. The program divides vertices in this type by 256.

Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
A simple question for you guys - My boss gave me 30 days (not working days) to learn Python to transfer to the Data Science team. What is the best approach to learn as much as possible?
Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
Hi, can i extract models from apps from programs like nox or BlueStacks programs.

Re: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python
The ability to export depends on the format structure.Honkasumi wrote:Hi, can i extract models from apps from programs like nox or BlueStacks programs.
