Hey everyone!

I finally got around to coding some more updates to Model Prop 2013.


New to ModelProp2013? Well... Basicaly its a remake from my original build ModelProp 2011 but has allot more functionality.

<warning>
This program makes animations based on solid shape parts with limbs.... Alot Like DB Classic...
Existing Animations To your Objects Will Be lost While Importing In.
Make sure to save in the txt .3mp format so you can edit it further in the future.

-Build models from scratch
-Link limbs together
-Add textures and alter UV data
-Create Animations
-Has A Quick Parts Menu (Can Save To and Load From)
-Export those animations as .x (dbc/dbp) compatible
-Export .x frames for use with AppGameKit V1 with a link to a model converter to .obj


<this app is still a work in progress and is 100% free>


Here is the latest update:
http://www.smotion3d.com/modelprop/modelprop2013.zip

This is open source....since blue gui is it makes it easier to post code free.

Plugins needed to compile it: Also you need DirectX9.0c as its a DBP app
-Matrix dlls:http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=85209&b=18
-stab in the darks dll fix:http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=163815&b=15
-blue gui:http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=198156&b=8
-enhancements pack:http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2083

If you decide to try writting up some functions for it and want to share them you will make my life easier if you code it in the form of a function for me to update the main download for everyone.

Enjoy! and remember its still in development so check back for updates. Use any code from it freely as well!

I haven't played with it long but this looks amazing. Definitely a lot of time and effort has been put into it I can tell!

Will be playing with this some more for sure. The WIP button for Remap Object + Limbs UV data for single image command looks very interesting. I would love to have that feature if I could load objects with multiple textures to remap them to only one!

yup it deffinetly is a nice command and works well...

Im also going to put a command in to reverse it. ei. put them back into seperate images.

2 new commands are coming this weekend for vertex editting.

1)grid draw... its literally going to be connect the dots and make triangles...

2)remove verts un-used... this will remove the unused vertex dots from your 3d model shape.

next week i will try to focus more on animation tools.

Download has been updated with source also.

Changes: March 29,2014
-Fixed vertex snap again
-Added Remove Unused Vertices Command
-Added Grid Draw 10x10x10 (1000 dots) basicaly just connect the dots to form triangles

Working on Next:
-filling the quick parts menu (its been needed for some time now)
-making some help videos
-making more understandable animation tools
-and other random stuff

humm... blue gui has a memory leak somewhere. I may need to go back and make my own gui to fix the problem. for now save often so you dont lose your work.

i will try hard to make at least 1 new command a week...

im a tad busy with work and school right now but i will see what i can do.

this week i will try to get to these commands:
-split image back to 20 from agk operation.
-some new animation tools

Lookin' sweet Softy. Keep up the hard work!

new additions added: <download link first post>
-span images from 1 back to 20
-span uv data back to multi textures

April 13,2014: -Fixed bmp crash glitch on exporting .x frames for agk

fixed up some animation commands.... will be adding more next week

anti-lock bump up...

Update: Im just about finished with school ~2 weeks left and then model prop will be getting a whole bunch of attention. Thanks for being patient

And yup...help videos to follow.

ok very cool update:

-now can import .obj files

im working on uv data at the moment but it looks like its loading them in.

if the object has several objects defined then model prop will load them in seperatly splitting them from 1 file.

updated download from first link


edit: i just spotted an error....it turns out that most obj files are not defined....stupid format! I'll fix rightaway and repost!

ok now that i have done some tests with agk, im going to produce a new file format to allow agk to load models/limbs/animations/textures strieght up. I will also rewrite the obj loader but i dont think its nessesary anymore at this point.

update to come soon!
