i have test granny 3D viewer for GR2 format .. don't work

SWTOR uses a highly modified version of "HeroEngine" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeroEngine ). I dont have time to look into it right now but that should at least be helpful as a starting point. Cant wait til December 20th (SWTOR release)

The model and animation system used is radgametool's "Granny 3D" ( http://www.radgametools.com/granny.html ), however using the Granny3D demo I was unable to open the files. The model format could be very modified like the engine is, or the Granny3D demo is just too limited or old a version to open SWTOR's model version. I'll try to get my hands on a new version and see if they can be opened, feel free to beat me to it if anyone already has a newer version.

original model done with 3dmax, with a script converter to .GR2 format ... information from dev news group

Well I found the only link to the version of the SDK you're referring to, on a german site. However it appears the download is currently down, host site is under maintenance or something :/

i tried to load the model with an old granny sdk. but the textures are missing and animations won´t work.
here is a wireframe screen of your uploaded sample

don´t ask after source, if you know c++ google the sdk and try yourself

thx for your reply , but if i post here for help .. that's clear i don't know C++
i will search the SDK and see

by the way, thx for your sharing

thx alot !!

work fine for me at this time ...



the texture isn't store into .gr2 file, just coordonates for mapping

edit: after try much more gr2 files, i see some wrong vertex orientation and some .ms crash

[XHD]

how are you managing to extract files from the .tor files? using the bms script as well as easyMYP from this thread viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7186 , I'm only enable to extract certain files correctly, such as .dds, however they dont have correct file names either.

Just want to point out that you can probably use the granny2.dll located in the "Star Wars - The Old Republic\he601\retailclient" folder.
Also some models cause max to crash if you try to import them, usualy if they're 5mb or larger (after being converted to.ms files of course). I'm not sure if its max having an issue with these larger files or if its Delium's converter. Just something to look into, heres a few files I had issues with:
veh_imp_friggate.gr2 (3mb GR2, 45mb MS)
veh_rep_troop_transport_landed_wingsdown.gr2 (1.2mb GR2, 36mb MS)
veh_neu_tat_sandcrawler.gr2 (1.7mb GR2, 14mb MS)
As you can see there is a huge size difference between the GR2 files and their MS counterparts, so I dunno if thats causing an issue.
I would upload them but the forum is having issues with attachments. Thanks for all the work so far though Delium
