hello there!
i have a question concerning the great nebula-textures in eve. i exported them successfully with the tool (thanx for the tool *g*), but 3d studio max doesn't work with them correctly. in max, i can only use spherical environment maps, right? is there any way to convert those cube-maps to spherical? or does anyone know a way to make those cubes work in 3dsm (version 9 btw)? would be really great, since i want to move the camera a lot, so static environment maps just don't do the job.
i found several questions concerning this problem, but no answer yet :)
mfg,

Edited by: Plutoinum on 19/11/2007 02:58:10Just loaded the typhoon model into triexporter, filled the 5 texture slots with the textures that were listed in the .blue file and exported to .3ds When I'm trying to import that .3ds file with 3ds Studio Max 2008, it says 'Improper file format'. I'm just starting with 3ds max though. Maybe I should try it via obj. Would also be nice, if we knew a bit more about the .blue file format, since it seems to contain all the infos, how to apply the textures and how to render that stuff. But doubt that CCP is interested in releasing that info and it's surely getting a change with the trinity upgrade, too. Originally by: Ryu Nagatomi

There was only one Gold Magnate in game and it was owned by the notorious Tyrrax Thork.
He was killed by a MOO gate camp and he told me that when it exploded that a tiny bit of wee came out.
p.s Hi Tyrrax

I have read this entire thread, and my problem has more to do with 3ds Max than TriExporter.
My "assign material to selection" button is grayed out. I can't put the texture on the ship. In the material editor window, after I've selected the flipped/rotated PNG (made from the DDS), that box instantly grays out. Can't drag/drop, nothing. I have no idea how these fancypants computer animation programs work, sigh.
Nevermind: I had to click the stupid little nameless box instead of actually going to get a file like you'd think.
Now my problem is that applying the texture only gets me a gray color on the ship. I did all the flipping and rotating and setting the U and V both to 180 on the rotate section. No dice. Any idea what this could be? |

Well, I took a look inside the DX9 stuffs and noticed they don't use .tri files anymore. Instead, it is .gr2 for the models now, which seems to be Granny2's file format. And unless you buy a license at $10k, you won't have access to a converter/importer  But maybe someone will decipher the format eventually... there have been approaches using the granny2.dll included with their demos to load the meshes, which actually looked somewhat promising. |

heh ... i have no time ... that's the problem ... for few months im working on new triexporter.net in c# but still i didnt made render stuff(now its only texture viewer and sound preview :) ) and now new format ... heh ok but what we got ... As Braineater wrote new content are Granny's files google said: grnreander ... but its not workin .h files are made to older version of granny2.dll about .gr2 file format google said nothing(we know that is compressed more than zip and stuff but nothing more) hmmm one things looks promising: download demo from granny's site (smaller one) and compile:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef DWORD (WINAPI *PFNGRANNYCONVERTFILETORAWPROC) (const char* src, const char *dst);
#define GRANNY_FUNC "_GrannyConvertFileToRaw@8"
int
main(INT argc, char *argv[], char *env[]) {
if(argc < 3) {
printf("convert.exe <fileA> <fileB>\n" );
return 0;
}
if(strcmpi( argv[1], argv[2] ) == 0) {
printf("convert.exe <fileA> <fileB>\n" );
return 0;
}
HINSTANCE hDLL=NULL;
hDLL = LoadLibrary("granny2.dll");
if(NULL == hDLL) {
return 0;
}
PFNGRANNYCONVERTFILETORAWPROC GrannyConvertFileToRaw = NULL;
GrannyConvertFileToRaw = (PFNGRANNYCONVERTFILETORAWPROC)GetProcAddress( hDLL, GRANNY_FUNC );
if(NULL == GrannyConvertFileToRaw) {
FreeLibrary(hDLL);
hDLL=NULL;
return 0;
}
GrannyConvertFileToRaw( argv[1], argv[2] );
FreeLibrary(hDLL);
hDLL=NULL;
return 0;
}
then use this program tu unpack gr2 file now we have "raw file" ... but still u have to find out more about this "raw file" to extract models ... another problem is ... i'm really not a graphics programmer ... and my render doesn't looks like elFarto showroom application ;/ |

Have you tried using the information that the granny viewer gives you? It seemed to detail pretty much every attribute of
the file/mesh. |

\o/
Finaly an exporter. While last time I looked for one there was few that had it for other projects but finally looks like theres something new we can use wahoo.
Now only for the more detailed models hehe. Wonder why they switched file types for the newer files? |

Is there an exporter yet that will export the new content ships?

Where are the textures? I cant find them.
What do I do to add them into the obj file or whatever.... mind you, it took me about 30 minutes to finally find out how to get just the object it's self loaded. Now I cant find the textures. I have EVE installed in the default Program Files/CCP/EVE.

CCP are as usual supporting the content producers entirely. Not.  The new models make use of RAD Game Tools's Granny engine and model format. I've seen _one_ MAXscript-based importer for 3DS MAX 9 for the gr2 format, and that was for AOE3 and does not work with the CCP models. Unless someone has way too much time to spend playing around and decoding this pile of.. well, it'd be some work.  The AOE3 tool is open-source, though (It's C, builds a MAXscript file to create the model in 3DS). Give it a google and you'll find it pretty quickly. The alternative to reverse-engineering is to buy the Granny SDK. It's not that much- only $12,000 a license...  For now I've been using the old models and new textures. Not many problems yet. |

On a side note, is there anything we should be doing bugreport-wise?
Points so far:
* Crashes on Amarr outpost
* Turret models and several station models are all over the place. Stray vertexes etc.
* Corpse models crash
Edit: OK, found a major problem- gr2 exported models (with textures, not tried without) are invalid (Improper file format error in 3DS), at least for the 3DS exporter..
Edit again: OK, it's just textures. Got this on some Tri models, too. |

k this is what i found out i use raven as an example -> 3 maps cb1_tex_d.dds rgb channel -> this is the difuse map alpha channel -> this are the glowing lights, you can color them cb1_tex_p.dds rgb channel -> empty alpha channel -> this is the second layer of painting, you can color it cb1_tex_ngs.dds r channel -> empty g channel -> specular highlight level b channel -> reflection channel alpha channel -> normal map put it into youre bump channel stations and titans use different maps didnt play with them till now :) ps. thx for the program! always loved it  |
