ORGE 3D MESH FORMAT ?

[TIGER]

Does anyone here knows how to create this format.

If its not . Im thinking about creating a utility which will
convert 3DS and X files into my own 3D format which wiil be easily loaded
in PB .

What do you goys think . Is there is a point to do that ?

With MilkShape and the MilkShape Exporter.

danilo has written a milkshape importer, grab it here

This is an importer for the ascii x format:

uhm I created my own mesh format here: viewtopic.php?t=10998

[MadMax]

Is the *.mesh format a secret?

[DarkDragon]

A secret? No:

uhm here is a saving procedure:

Code: Select all

Structure Tri3D
  Vert.f[3]
  U.f[3]
  V.f[3]
EndStructure

Structure Point3D
  X.f
  Y.f
  Z.f
EndStructure

Procedure.f GetVertexX(Vert)
  SelectElement(Vert(), Vert)
  ProcedureReturn Vert()\X
EndProcedure
Procedure.f GetVertexY(Vert)
  SelectElement(Vert(), Vert)
  ProcedureReturn Vert()\Y
EndProcedure
Procedure.f GetVertexZ(Vert)
  SelectElement(Vert(), Vert)
  ProcedureReturn Vert()\Z
EndProcedure
Procedure SaveZM(ID, Filename.s)
  If CreateFile(ID, Filename.s)
    ForEach Tri()
      WriteFloat(Tri()\U[0])
      WriteFloat(Tri()\V[0])
      WriteFloat(GetVertexX(Tri()\Vert[0]))
      WriteFloat(GetVertexY(Tri()\Vert[0]))
      WriteFloat(GetVertexZ(Tri()\Vert[0]))
      WriteFloat(Tri()\U[1])
      WriteFloat(Tri()\V[1])
      WriteFloat(GetVertexX(Tri()\Vert[1]))
      WriteFloat(GetVertexY(Tri()\Vert[1]))
      WriteFloat(GetVertexZ(Tri()\Vert[1]))
      WriteFloat(Tri()\U[2])
      WriteFloat(Tri()\V[2])
      WriteFloat(GetVertexX(Tri()\Vert[2]))
      WriteFloat(GetVertexY(Tri()\Vert[2]))
      WriteFloat(GetVertexZ(Tri()\Vert[2]))
    Next
    CloseFile(ID)
  EndIf
EndProcedure

Well, you see it consists in floats.

U, V = Texturecoords:
