M15 Model Viewer for developers

[Petr Schreiber]

Hi,

to make viewing of exported models in more easy way with more options, I have created 100% thinBasic powered model viewer.

It displays axes ( so no more excuses models for games are not Z aligned ;) ) and allows preview of alpha and blend states.

There is also some info displayed, along with model-specific advices.

There is my older ThinEdge model of Macchi MC 72 attached for you, so you can test viewer abilites right after download.

UPDATED 30-Jul-2009 - there was problem with callbacks, thanks Lydia for reporting it!

[Michael Hartlef]

Thanks man, that is a nice tool. Good job!

[ErosOlmi]

Great great great !!!!
What a callback + TBGL example!

Karma on the way.


In little time CallBacks power will be available to everyone (when thinBasic 1.7.0.0 will be officially out).

Little glitch in "Load" button when dialog is resized.
I think trackbar is a little too high and it is over the button for few pixels.

I recomment to change this comment into english language. ;D

[Petr Schreiber]

Uh,

I am sorry. Comment in Czech, and totally irrelevant for current code :-[
I will release new version once I will catch that button redraw problem ( I will add #MINVERSION as well ).

Another cool program Petr, you are back in form with 2 cool projects in one day, thanks!

[Michael Clease]

slight bug the textures have to be in the same directory as the program.

So I fixed it ;D

[Petr Schreiber]

I should open little Zoo with various types of bugs.

You are right Michael, I did not thought of this use, my fault, will be corrected in next release.

dear petr, hi all...

- thank you so much for the modeller viewer... I like it and I have used the old one some days before... and see it's very important for my buildings and models to have such an improved viewer! GREAT JOB ! :D

best regards, Lionhearts running hospital center... :)

dear petr...

...silly question perhaps

... it's necessary to change the script when I am loading my *.M15 files? I don't think so, isn't it?

... after loading some of my hovercraft.m15 objects with the new modelviewer, the script and window strike and I must close the modelviewer...

the old thinedge-viewer runs as well as I wish;) but I would like to use your new modelViewer, with a lot of new power and properties... :)

perhaps I have done an importing/loading mistake... with my hovercraft M15 file... ???

bye, lionheart

Hi Frank,

no idea why it GPFed, does the new version attached to first post does the same?
On my PC there were no visible problems.


Petr

[Lionheart008]

dear petr:)

a) can you (or somebody else...) do a short favour for me and test the attached M15 (dummy cube) file for me with your modelviewer?

b) can you send me another *.m15 object example from you I will check it with your viewer again...

c) perhaps I have some problems with thinbasic scripts on my pc... don't know... uaargh...

good afternoon with more sunshine and better weather... ;)

ciao, Lionheart

ps: may be I have got some error messages because of the pre release of thinbasic 1.7.0.0 as it was some days before... so it's a personal problem with my pc machine... I must find the black hole... ;)

[Petr Schreiber]

Hi,

no GPF with your model on my PC. It displays box and cone, in +/- red color.
I attach some models for you.

[Lionheart008]

Hi petr, hi all:)

I have perhaps found the problem with viewing my models... I have saved the developer script again into my folder and named it new... ;)

- downloaded the new thinbasic pre-release and everything seems ok and wonderful... puh... I am happy... great respect for your new modelviewer again, very good stuff... :D

- some day we can even build a own "uv mapper" with thinbasic/tbgl, isn't it? ;)

good night, lionheart
