Not bad nice work!

Hey guys, a quick update for you.

Work has been pretty hectic recently so I haven't had as much time as I would have liked to add the model viewer. I have, however, been making a variety of UI improvements. Here's a screenshot of the new UI.

On the model extraction front, I've began to hack away at the file format and have made very good progress. I can now reliably extract all the meshes from a specific version (4) of the DME file. Some DME files are version 3, but I don't yet know what the distinction is. The next version will have a model viewer and will allow you to view and extract at least one version of the DME files.

Here's a few models to whet your appetite.

Hah very nice!

Colour your own models!

This just gives validity to my idea of 3D printing these and making them into SOE action figures or erector-set type toy packets.

EDIT: I just realized that if I do that, the Jackhammer could be an actual Nerf gun.

Im working on putting together a map pack for the ATC, could you help me out in finding where I could find the raw Map Images?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking for or what the ATC is. :P I shot you a private message with my Skype/MSN information, we can talk it out there.

A tech plant would look awesome on top of my speaker

Have there been any updates?

Gelnika · 2012-12-26, 07:22 PM

Good news, everyone!

ps2ls v1.1 has now been released, which includes the addition of the new model browser.

I also made a short video that will walk you through all the core functionality of ps2ls.

Enjoy!

Nice work!

SturmovikDrakon · 2012-12-26, 10:45 PM

oh my god I love you

Roy Awesome · 2012-12-27, 03:29 AM

Cool. I was working on the same thing. Never could get the models to render...What format are they?

EDIT: looking through your code, seems you wrote your own reader. Niiiiccee.

Is the skeleton and animation structure in there too?

Shogun · 2012-12-27, 04:57 AM

great work!

is there a chance to add in the original textures to the modelviewer?

if so, please also add a feature to export the textured model to a 3d printer compatible fileformat!

and if you manage to also add a way to articulate a soldiers pose, we could make our own figurines or even some nifty ps2 themed add ons for custom warhammer 4k tabletop armies.

That's in the works, reliably finding the UVs for the textures has proved to be troublesome! I'll work on that next.

I'm not familiar with 3D printing, if you let me know what a 3D printer compatible format is, I'll see what I can do for you.

The skeleton/animation information is located in another file other than the DME (mesh) file that I'm reading in. It will take a considerable amount of work to figure out the format specifications for that file type.
