Diablo III .app

Due to the complexity and uniqueness of the file format a standalone viewer program is the best bet for this. I've worked on things like that before and will look into it when I have the time however I'm quite swamped with real life stuff atm

[Monguron]

What I will try to make in the next days is a simple item loader program, which runs in flash, and can be easily inserted to a site.

To make a complex model viewer, that loads a character, and puts all the armors and weapons on them ... hmm that's a different story.

[BoyC]

Not to mention the huge number of animations, different death looks etc...

[Monguron]

Correct ...

and the enchants on the weapons (e.g. ice, lightning, etc...)

This is the action script code under Flex SDK and Away 3D Framework. After I compile it, it opens a 400 x 300 pc flash frame in a html file, and loads an .obj model.

package
{
import away3d.containers.View3D;
import away3d.events.LoaderEvent;
import away3d.loaders.Loader3D;
import away3d.loaders.parsers.Parsers;

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

[SWF(width="400", height="300")]
public class GettingStartedWithAway3D extends Sprite
{
private var _view : View3D;
private var _loader : Loader3D;

public function GettingStartedWithAway3D()
{
_view = new View3D();
_view.backgroundColor = 0xd7d7d7;
_view.antiAlias = 4;

this.addChild(_view);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

Parsers.enableAllBundled();

_loader = new Loader3D();
_loader.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.RESOURCE_COMPLETE, onResourceComplete);
_loader.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.LOAD_ERROR, onLoadError);
_loader.load( new URLRequest('Adria.obj') );
}


private function onResourceComplete(ev : LoaderEvent) : void
{
_loader.removeEventListener(LoaderEvent.RESOURCE_COMPLETE, onResourceComplete);
_loader.removeEventListener(LoaderEvent.LOAD_ERROR, onLoadError);
_view.scene.addChild(_loader);
}


private function onLoadError(ev : LoaderEvent) : void
{
trace('Could not find', ev.url);
_loader.removeEventListener(LoaderEvent.RESOURCE_COMPLETE, onResourceComplete);
_loader.removeEventListener(LoaderEvent.LOAD_ERROR, onLoadError);
_loader = null;
}


private function onEnterFrame(ev : Event) : void
{
_loader.rotationY = stage.mouseX - stage.stageWidth/2;
_view.camera.y = 3 * (stage.mouseY - stage.stageHeight/2);
_view.camera.lookAt(_loader.position);

_view.render();
}
}
}

The problem is the following:

it loads the some obj files, but when I try it with the Diablo 3 models (Adria.obj or Cain.obj) you cannot see anything.
Is there anyone who is expert in Away 3D and / or modelling?

[npd2006]

Don't know about Away 3D but I imported Adria model to Maya without any problems.

[Monguron]

GLC player also opened Adria.obj properly...

Beside that how can I convert the .tex files with the D3TexConv.exe?
The wiki page writes drag and drop, but how?

[npd2006]

Drag the .tex file and drop it to D3TexConv.exe

[Monguron]

But how?

I run the .exe file and I get this:

"We need a file(s) to work with!"

so where to drag and drop the .tex?

[Monguron]

lol, the problem was: Total commander.

Now I have the dds file.

[Monguron]

Don't know about Away 3D but I imported Adria model to Maya without any problems.

3DS Max 2012 cannot open the ardia.obj.

These are the files I have in one folder:

adria.obj
adria_diff_atlas.txt
adria_spec_atlas.tct
adria_A_diff.dds
adria_A_spec.dds

When I try to import the .obj in +DS Max, I have an error meassage: an mtl file is missing, and two others as well. What else is needed to load the complete model?

[npd2006]

3DS Max 2012 cannot open the ardia.obj.

I have same tissue.
You can open it in Maya or Deep Exploration, then export to obj and you can import it to Max (but why don't use maya ?)
File .mtl looks like a header of .obj . It has no .mtl because of the template. I think it's not hard to create one. But it is not important.

[Monguron]

Arghhh ... so 3DS Max cannot open an .obj file, which Maya can. I thought .obj is a standard o_O

Question:

- so which files do I need to see a complete model? (so the dds and the obj is needed, and that's all?)
- I would be glad, if I could find a format, which contains the model and the texture as well in one file.
- do you know a crack for Maya?

[TaylorMouse]

In the standard obj file format you require 3 files, the .obj file, a material file that links the textures with the obj file and the texture file
but
in this case all you need is the obj file and the texture file(s) since we didn't figure out the material file yet.
So the adria.obj file requires the Adria_A_diff.dss and the Adria_A_spec.dds file. both files cannot be linked to the obj file when converting from the original .app file (yet) so you need to do this manually

T.

[Monguron]

Ok, it's getting clear then.

For ex.: GLC Player can open the adria.obj, and I see the model without textures.

But both 3DS Max and Maya are not capable to open it, or are they? Perhaps I fucked up something during the importing process.
