Revil (RE Engine, MT Framework) 3ds max plugin

Post by PredatorCZ »

Following plugin will let you import animations from RE Engine and MT Framework.

Supported RE Engine titles.
  • Resident Evil 7
  • Resident Evil 2
  • Resident Evil 3
  • Resident Evil Resistance
  • Devil May Cry 5
  • Resident Evil 8
  • Resident Evil Verse
Supported MTF titles.
There is some many of them, so here is complete list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MT_Framew ... _Framework

Enjoy.

Master page.

Fixes, changes for MT Framework LMT against MTF Tools (old maxcript)
  • Much faster loading
  • Proper animation indexing
  • Animations are fully sampled
  • Ability to disable IK when importing motion
  • Ability to resample animations
  • Properly loading non-uniform scale animations
    Image Image
MTF LMT Limitations
  • IK links must be still created with MTF Tools
  • You can no longer regenerate skeleton in MTF Tools, but a default pose will be set at frame -1
  • Sometimes, IK chain can be severed. In this case, you must relink start and end bone in IK controller. DO NOT create new IK with MTF Tools.
  • Some scale animations might still look broken (some MTF V1.5+ titles only)
I will also require from you any and every feedback you can think of.
For plugin, you can create issues in repo.
For everything else here, or on blog.
Thank you.

RevilMax V1.1 has been released.

Fixed wrong frame distribution where resulting animations were slightly faster.
Maxscript listener will now show whenever plugin tries to print any information and from now on, user will be always informed properly. User no longer needs to open listener manually.

Thanks for tool,
I know there are a couple scripts out there to import models,
but will you be adding that feature to this plugin?

Here are some ideas (that I'm sure you've already thought of).
  • Make the window a bit wider or resizable so animation names don't cut off.
  • Keep the window open after importing an animation.
  • Add or Edit/Remove/Reset/Save buttons.
    I'm not talking about a "repack" to use in game (Although that would be cool), but to save "Favorite" Animations for later use.

The animations work with the original models.
I tried with custom models and the weights seem to break, but that's probably not your plugin's fault.

Thanks for ideas, I haven't thought about them.
Here's my take on them.
  • It would require additional research, It's written under WinAPI and I'm not much friend of it.
  • As the matter of importing, it's not possible, since 3DS will create/destroy plugin instance, each time file is imported. I had tested this in past, and in conclusion, the only way would be, to create additional utility, this would require for user to find this utility in Max'es pile of UI. Where for some users is hard to find import button, imagine how and if they would find this, even with guide.
  • This doesn't seem like useful thing to me, the time spent on implementing such thing would be wasted, since nobody would actually use it. Each animation has unique name, and I cannot possibly think, how this feature would even work.
    As the matter of export, there are more things than animation. Like events, scripts or other things that are stored inside motion files.
    As the matter of pure repacking, it's possible. I have thought about making mot <-> motlist repacker.

RevilMax v1.2 has been released

Added support for LMT loading.
Added support for motlist99, mot78 formats.
RE motion formats are now properly sampled.
Added resample option (animation will be resampled to current scene FPS)
Added option to load all animations at once (ranges will be printed into listener, units are ticks).

Basically adding ability to load LMT files from MT Framework and a new format from RE3 Remake (demo).
Experimental phase, tool might be unstable.

You may not be planning to update MT Framework Mobile, but is it possible to support Monster Hunter Explore mod and lmt?
Samples can be provided as needed. Please consider that.

Would you mind taking a look at Re 7 motlist.60? Or was the engine different at the time?

Have you personally tested Resident Evil 3? I have tried numerous times and it keeps crashing on me.

Tested only demo. There wasn't a release version, when it was in the development .
