Super-interesting read that hopefully can make conversions etc easier?

When I load SMD with long bone names Noesis stripped them into something like 'bone_XX'.
Can you fix this, MrAdults?

I am still working on my Bayonetta 1/2, Vanquish, Nier Automata (let's say PG now) plugin and I would like to know how to blend two materials with a ratio given by the red component of the color vertex buffer. I think I would need to use material expressions for this to work but I couldn't find example of it's usage. I found out that chrrox used them but couldn't find where.

Thanks in advance.

edit: never mind I may have found what I was searching here: viewtopic.php?p=81687#p81687

edit 2: but maybe material expressions are not the way to go. If I understand correctly vertex color is blended with first material and then the result is blended with the next. So maybe classical blending would suffice

Any idea why lightmap don't move with the model?



They also don't disappear when you skip the rendering of the corresponding mesh in the data viewer.

Edit: Using another pass for the lightmap and using the NMATFLAG_USELMUVS flag does the trick, rather than using the rpgSetLightmap command.

Edit: Okay, blending terrain is possible thanks to material expressions and classical blending, here is an example of three materials blended together (with lightmap as an additional pass):


This technique is nonetheless slightly problematic with transparent meshes that have a lightmap:


any idea of how I could avoid this? I think I would need to change the blending function for alpha and I am unsure how I should do this using noesis.

Does anyone have a plugin for DBZ Ultimate Tenkiachi??

I humbly request for Soul Calibur 6 support, it has the same issue as Tekken 7 with mismatched skeletons and meshes when using gildor's umodel viewer.
I also have long wished for animation support of Soul Calibur series since Soul Calibur 4 but no-one has ever succeeded (or made it public), so support of soul calibur 6 animations would be fantastic!

Use your Roomba bot to map your house and turn it into a Doom level with Noesis.

I have been making a script to export all rx2 "xbox 360 EA Games" files from all games that use them lately and can now export every single texture format in the games I have tested except for one.
That last format is "r5g6b5".
I can't find anywhere how to export that from an xbox 360 game with noesis.
So any help on that would mean a lot =]

Thanks,

It may have been mentioned here before .. but can Noesis preview window have an option to flip UVs vertically?


I know objs are a bit backward but it displays normally in other viewers and 3ds max.

Oh look I didn't know that!

Tools -> Data Viewer -> Model -> Global UV Flip

Probably a stupid question, but is there a triangle strip function variation with strip termination? If so, how do i call it in a script?

I tried to read materials from modelcontainer with 153 meshes, 65 materials and 41 textures. I assign textures to every material and then read materials to MatList and construct models with 153 range loop. When I load the file it appears 9945 (=153 x 65) materials in Noesis. It reads right material for every meshes but Noesis crashes when I go to Data Viewer because of huge amount of materials. When I move mdl.setModelMaterials(NoeModelMaterials(TexList, MatList)) out of range loop it appears 153 materials in Noesis but materials isn't loaded for meshes. What I do wrong?

I think that solution is read submeshes instead of construct every meshes to single model. Now I have 153 models 153 meshes 153 textures and 9945 materials. Can someone help me to fix the script to read 1 model 153 submeshes and 65 materials? I extract textures separately with name of texture index 1-41.
Here is model sample file with extracted textures:
