Model Prop is a drawing, editing, and animating software I have developed using DarkBasicPro and the use of some external libraries.


Requirements:
-1024x768 x32bit resolution minimum
-Direct X9.0c http://www.smotion3d.com/downloads/directx9c.zip
-windows xp or higher

What can Mp Do?
-create models from scratch
-link limbs together
-create limb based animations [rotation,scale,movement]
-export direct x animations
-export direct x animated frames for AppGameKit V1
[that is used in conjunction with an online .obj converter]
-simple UV-Edit / texturing
-CSG tools (subtract/add)
-simple vertex edit
-quick parts library (saveable to)

How much does this cost?
-nothing...its completely free! No Limitations.....

Well how does this thing work?
-Here is some help videos

ok so if you want to start importing dx files right away you can install mp2011 if you don't have it located here. Also watch the temporary way to import dx video above.

This looks fantastic. The work you've put into the program and video's must have been astounding. I hope to be able to free up some time this week to get to know ModelProp2013 properly.

I have 2 questions for any current or future MP users.

(1st one)
The problem first:

When loading .x or .3ds or even possibly .dbo into DarkBasicPro the offsets of limbs become wrong once you start to edit the object. DarkBasic loads the models in fine with the offsets and everything and its good until you start to edit it. By editing vertex data the offsets go bananas after exiting.

So the question is:

When I code the .x,.dbo,.3ds importer into ModelProp should I break the model into several meshes for you to manually link back together or should I leave them all attached but you will need to go in and manually edit all the offsets back into original places?

If your object is solid with no limbs then there would not be any problems importing it and will not be effected by the above decision.

(2nd ?)
My second question is for what type of models would people like to see in the parts menu? eg.. air plane parts, appliances , etc.
And remember the parts menu is for building models quickly using part shapes. So think of anything related to graphic building and I will start on making some model part menus in those areas.

Also if anyone wants to contribute models to the quick parts menu give me a shout. MP will stay free and its for the community to use and build.

its getting there....

the old one imports whatever dbp was able to load yes.

I haven't actually coded the new importer yet for the new one and will most likely be done next weekend.

for now you can save modelprop files from the old 2011 one and load those into the new editor.

from there...watch the help vids and you will find this new version is much more stable.

Last one looks better, but has something strange when we try to move several vertex. The update 2011 works ok...like last update. I like the new interfax you make for last update

Cheers.
