Model Inspector (binary files to OBJ)

[herbert3000]

Hey guys,

I'm working on a tool to analyze binary files of 3D models. The result can be saved as OBJ file.
Obviously I was inspired by shak-otay's Hex2obj Mesh Extractor

I created it primarily for my personal use but it might be interesting for other people too.

extend and update your tool
nice idea

Please add padding offsets. Nice work btw.

Excellent tool, thanks for sharing!

Great ! I edited the post so it is an attachment here (since mediafire links tend to go dead after a while).

Just a little update, I added the download link and changelog in my initial post.
Padding offsets are still absent in this version - but this feature is on my TODO list

Hi again!
I need your opinion on something.

Recently I kind of recreated a shareware program called HexDataEdit. The latest version of this program was released 10 years ago and the website is long gone. It's a neat tool for analyzing and structuring an unknown binary file. But it's not possible to legally obtain the full version of the program any longer and in my opinion it's missing some important features.

Ok, here's the first version of my recreation:

I also included an example folder (the .xml is the template file) so you can see how the program works.

So my question is:
Is there any need for this program AND should I continue adding new features?

At the moment the program exports the segment and type information as XML document.
I'm thinking about switching to JSON in the future.

Plus I also want to add the possibility to use variable names instead of static numbers in the input fields, like this:


Please tell me what you think about it, I'm thankful for every suggestion!

never question the need for something you enjoy working on, people
typically don't know what they want until you give it to them.

i would give it a try but it won't launch on XP
i have Java 1.8.0_101

Thanks for the reply!
I've also uploaded a runnable JAR:

Hi, are you talking about the .exe or the .jar?
In both cases, make sure that you have the latest version of Java installed on your PC.

To run the .jar, you can also create a new txt file in the same folder. Copy this into the txt:

Code: Select all

java -jar "Binary Inspector.jar"
pause

Then rename the txt file to "Run it.bat" and double-click it.

The program is not working.
Checked on Win7 (x64), WinXP (x32).
The EXE file does not start, JAR produces an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 64-bit SWT libraries on 32-bit JVM

Ok, this one works with a 32-bit JVM:

I wasn't aware of the fact, that the SWT libraries were platform dependent

cool it finally launches on XP and i can load the truck.d3d and d3d.xml you had in the 0.5b release example,
now how do you save it out to obj, "File>Save file as..." is greyed out. i can copy the entire contents of the window to
clipboard but it isn't formatted properly when pasted.
what version is that shown in the image in the first post, is that version 0.9?
0.5b is not the latest version is it?
sorry for all the questions, just trying to get caught up.

[Lazov]

Everything is working. Please post the version that is in the screenshot in the header.
Disable auto-update. The program hangs for large structures.
