See if the following proceedure makes it work in your case.

Open the triangulated .obj file with Wordpad or similar editor. Choose Replace menu and replace

//

for

/1/

Replace All. Save and try to import to SH3.

Merry Xmass and Happy New Year

Happy holidays everyone :woot:

Similarly!

:oops: Sorry... How about Skeletal animation and Skin morphing features for S3D?
Or it will be necessary to write own executed code for this purpose...?

I have stopped working on S3D about 5 months ago as you know (and boy do I enjoy the free time ;)). While I do have a portion of code ready for skeletal animations I can't release anything that works because I only know roughly 60-70% of how this data is stored in the files. It's actually the only real missing thing of the DAT-file specification to me. I could find it out over time, but I really don't care to...

Even if I have the specification 100%, it is just way to much work to finish in reasonable time because I also need to introduce a new 3D-file format that supports skeletal animations.

So yes, you will need to write your own code/tools for it.

That said, if you ever have code (and the full file specification written down) or an application ready, then perhaps I can include it with S3D's installer so you have a complete toolkit.

OK.
Don't see prob's...
Theme is closed...

A hexeditor, patience and alot of time. None of these 3 I have right now :D

I don't remember well where I left of, it's been over 9-10 months since I looked at this. I remember I had found out how the bone structure was stored, but missed info on matrices and the weights of each joint (or perhaps the latter I did find out, don't remember). The big thing is putting it all together how the timeline is built with all the animations/poses, the transformations of each bone, etc. I have all kinds of parts but not the big picture due to missing info/understanding of some key areas of these chunks, stuff like relationships etc. I have spent hours upon hours finding links/relationships between the chunks (id's and stuff) but constantly ran into a wall... I would find out eventually but have no further interest.

If you find out, then perfect, but I really don't see me spend a whole big deal of time on it, especially since SH5 has a new animation engine (based on freely available tools I'm told by Dan).

just checked the towers : they all have the "obj_conningtower" in the .sim ????
what does it do ?

it caused CTD in two of our subs..

can i get the link to download SH3editor? plz thanks

The download info is in the first post of this thread here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...70&postcount=1

Make sure you read all the extras you need to download first!

Peabody just showed me how to use the play anim button in S3D :oops:

I had never seen that before, cool !

but :

Skwasjer you said ? that one could flip faces that showed the wrong side up in S3D ?

how ?

it seems everytime I export from 3DS and import in S3D some faces get flipped, not always but often..

thanks

- Reverse face winding

:yeah:

Good program!
I can`t understand one thing, how export ship model to 3dsmax in one piece?
When I open model in S3D, I see many nodes - part of model (SH3).
I use search, but not find solution.
Its possible?

No chance? :dead:

No, I don' think so.
I think you have to export all *obj and place them in you 3D-Software.
