Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
I had a revelation regarding Origins 3D models. That it why the update will be here before the estimated date.

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
I wait impatiently! I have a question: why when I select a mesh from Origin in the list, the mesh does not appear in the 3d preview? Thanks again for your wonderful work.

3D model support for Origins has yet to be implemented, until Version 1.4.oscarcasin wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 6:07 am I wait impatiently! I have a question: why when I select a mesh from Origin in the list, the mesh does not appear in the 3d preview? Thanks again for your wonderful work.

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
Version 1.4 (The long-awaited update)
Partial Origins 3D model support (viewing and exporting as OBJ) (DAE is in the works)
- geometry
- normals
- basic UVs
NOTE part 1: As I previous mentioned, the 3D model importer does not support every model. I tried samples from each category (vegetation, clothes, animals, weapons, and statues) and all worked. Your success will vary.
NOTE part 2: Blacksmith will not crash if interpretation of the 3D model goes awry. Instead, an error message will appear.
NOTE part 3: The 3D model importer is slow. Please be patient.
NOTE part 4: Not all meshes will render, due to parsing issues.
NOTE part 5: Lastly, there might be excess faces. Use Blender, 3ds Max, or a similar software to remove these.
Find feature
- you asked, here it is
- RegEx
- wildcards
- all results are displayed in the Find window
- right-click > `Show in List` (will jump to that entry in Blacksmith)
- it searches the first expanded .forge from any game
- in the future, you will be able to specify which .forge to search in
3D Viewer improvements
- better controls
- colorful models, for clarity (I use a shader that renders each vertex's normal)
- statistics and Reset Camera button on the bottom
UI improvements & bug fixes
- go here https://github.com/theawesomecoder61/Bl ... ANGELOG.md to see a full list of changes
- I left in a few grayed-out features for a reason.
Ready? https://github.com/theawesomecoder61/Bl ... h/releases
Version 1.5 is on the horizon. Mid-late March 2019.

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
Heroic work, man! It's working good so far, no major bugs outside of what you described above. I'll keep you informed of any weirdness if I notice anything. I haven't been having any problems with vegetation, characters, weapons etc. But the environment props (buildings, props, rocks etc) have bugs from time to time. Inconsistently, though, some don't have any problems. DataPC_ACE_Egypt/EGY_MON_Temple_Rampart_6m_01A_LOD0 is a good example of a glitchy mesh with the current importer. The Temple_Rampart set is all over the place, actually. Some meshes work fine, others have glitches, some load but throw errors and a couple don't load at all. Mysterious. Other than that, though, this is the best update yet, by far. I'm having a blast digging around through these files, it's astounding how much stuff was in this game.
Thanks again for all your hard work!

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
In Origins, No luck over here Sir, I can't see no mesh but also textures?
in 1.3.1 I am fine with textures, now I lost both with 1.4 .
Anyone else have this issue?

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
I can't seem to download the source for 1.4. The latest commit 53fb55f is a 1.3 version and when it launches it still shows the gray teapot. The binary package on the other hand shows the teapot normals and reports 1.4 in the About box. Was this a binary-only release? Thanks
Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
There is a bug on exporting model as obj format.
When I use 3ds max to import exported obj file, some obj can't be imported.
3Ds max will pop up a error dialog: "Invalid vertex index".
You can check this bug with this asset:
DATAPC_ACE_Egypt.forge >> BIO_VEG_DatePalm_Tall_01A_LOD0 >> MESH
It will export 5 obj files. 2 of them can't be imported correctly.

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
It's really good work so far,
I hope you will focus on OBJ format in next update
I open some of models in 3ds max (no UW mapping currently and objects have few mesh issues)
Can't wait for next update.

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
Just found this thread and i'm
so excited to when you get to DAE extraction and Steep support
Perhaps ASCII or SMD support in future?

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
SMD? Yes.
Fix OBJ? Yep.
Fix DAE? Surely.
Improved model importer? Yes.
Version 1.5 (Mid-late March 2019)

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
I think DAE is greater than OBJ, because obj can't support multi-UV and other vertex property.
As I know, Human skin mesh(Face, Body) contain 2 uv coordinates.

Re: Blacksmith - an Assassin's Creed: Odyssey extraction tool
Can you support view and export textures named "*_TopMip_0", I think these are mipmaps of texture.
And I find most of GFX textures only have MIPMAP(don't have TEXTUREMAP)
