Quote: --- Original message by: Super Flanker Quote: --- Original message by: cippozzo Is there a jms exporter for blender? @Fulsam As of now, for this particular tool, no. I will look into porting it ASAP, though (If the OP's cool with it).

Getting bones to work was a pain, but I'm not dead.  Just got vertex weight importing into blender, so now models can be posed immediately upon import. No extra setup. All I need now is a blender-friendly animation tag importer/exporter.

Still working on this importer for blender. Starting to get bone importing working, but the final alignment steps are stumping me. Blender's API makes me want to throw things at times.

I haven't looked into it yet (Just working on basic importing/exporting for now), but if enough people need it, I don't see why not.

Working on some more blender stuff. Taking a look at Cyboryxmen's JMS exporter, and trying to find out why it butchers UVs. Other than that, BSPs exported with it seem to work ingame. Or at least my standard test BSP does.

Can you use gmax for all purposes or do you need 3ds max Jul 13, 2016 02:21 AM

Quote: --- Original message by: S12Spark Ok, so I'm obviously not going to purchase 3ds max anytime soon, so it's either going to be Gmax or Blender, but, are there any animation exporters or model exporters/importers for blender? Is blender even a viable option? Time to shamelessly plug my work here. As of now, Blender is not a viable option. However, I've been working towards changing that with the HBT toolset. So far, I've got a model importer working, which can import nodes, markers, UVs and more. You can learn more about it at http://halobt.blogspot.com/, as well as try it out for yourself. As for exporting, the only thing we've got so far is Cyboryxmen's experimental .JMS exporter, the thread for which can be found here: http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=42486. I've personally never gotten it to work correctly, though I'm reverse-engineering it (Along with bluestreak) in an effort to make my own as a part of HBT. You'll know on the blog when that gets anywhere. It shouldn't be long; .JMS exporters, from what I've gathered so far, are actually pretty simple. As for animation importing and exporting...you're SOL. For now, at least. I've definitely got plans to reverse-engineer bluestreak's animation importer, but I've got a day job, and don't always have time to stare at code. I will definitely work harder on it if the demand for a blender-only, max-independent workflow increases. Short answer: It's not viable, but it could be soon.

For 0.7, there's going to be a major focus on animating needs. So, things like Vertex weighting and bones. That and cleaning the code up. I can't help but feel like it's a mess. Such is life when you start with no prior python experience.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/mi921xyq91pde80/GbxImport%282%29.zip It's out. Here are the changes/fixes: -Fixed user being able to set node/marker size to negative values. -Fixed tilde (~) being out of range of the string reading function. -Added marker importing functionality. -Added color selection for markers and nodes. -Added region/permutation selection. -Added LOD selection. -Added text field showing the name of the currently loaded model. -UI elements now grey out when their corresponding importing option is disabled. As usual, hit me up with any bugs or errors you may have. Edited by Fulsam on Jun 18, 2016 at 09:57 PM

After over a month of radio silence, I'm happy to announce that region/permutation selection is now working.  I decided to go back to the drawing board and imagine a new UI for region/perm selection, rather than mimic bluestreak. Here, you can choose which regions you want to import by ticking the checkbox, and choose the permutation of that region via the dropdown menu, allowing you to mix and match the way you want a model imported. I don't want to say "SOON!" anymore after my last promise gave you a month of absolute silence, but getting this done brings me that much closer towards releasing 0.6.

In the immediate future, Version 0.6 is about to drop (Really soon, actually. Like, a day or so.) which will add features like markers and region/permutation selection. Later on, 0.7 will add bone importing. Once the importer does pretty much everything the maxscript version does, I'll consider it finished (aside from bugfixes, and maybe adding xbox model support). Once all the critical features are out, I'm going to start work on a .JMS exporter. I've already taken a good look at what's involved, and it seems to be easy enough. I should've started with this first in hindsight, but I decided to go with the gbxmodel importer since NONE existed. After that, I might also look at animation and collision importers. The big eventual goal is to have everything you'd ever need in blender for halo modding in one handy little addon. Hence the name Halo Blender Tools.

Marker importing works   Bigger image And you can change the color of them before import if you so desire. Edited by Fulsam on May 4, 2016 at 11:31 PM Edited by Fulsam on May 4, 2016 at 11:34 PM

Thanks for letting me know. I'll get that fixed ASAP. EDIT: Done. My stupid a** posted the link to 0.4, which I took down because it was obsolete. Edited by Fulsam on May 3, 2016 at 01:53 PM

Bit of an update, I put together a blogger page for the Halo Blender Tools (Guess that's what I'm calling it now) http://halobt.blogspot.com/

Not at the moment. I might look into making something on Blogger for it, though. I'll post the link if I do. If anyone has a recommendation for a better service, I'd like to hear it.

Within the next week or so, I'll be making v0.6 available for download. This version will add the following: -Marker importing -Region selection -Permutation selection -LOD selection -A text field telling you which .gbxmodel is currently loaded. Edited by Fulsam on Apr 17, 2016 at 10:44 PM

That, and the size was user-adjustable for both (Though 20cm and 10cm are the default values for Nodes and Markers respectively). Edited by Fulsam on Apr 7, 2016 at 08:09 PM

If people care enough, it's totally doable to add an option to change the type of primitives the nodes and markers are imported as. But for now, I'm just trying to mimic Bluestreak's importer, which imported them as spheres (Though the spheres were different colors for each type, IIRC).

Quote: --- Original message by: sparky Can you add version numbers to your work so I can work with a change log? Yeah, my bad. The previous version is considered 0.4, and this current version is 0.5 (Made it say so in the addons menu, there's a bunch of description fields that can be filled out such as description, author, etc.) I'll definitely keep version numbers in mind for subsequent updates. |
