Hello Lazov,

at first thanks for your great program. It allowed me to analyze the 3D format of an old game.
I was able to correctly get vertices, faces, normals as well as uv-maps within your program.

Sadly I have some small problem left:

When the FLIP Button is switched ON (standard setting) in 3D Model Researcher, I get a wrong placing of the UV map within the texture picture file.
The UV-map is shown vertically flipped around the center of the texture picture.

FLIP Button switched ON (standard setting):


This of course results in a wrong rendering too:


By switching the FLIP button OFF, 3D Model Researcher correctly flips the UV and shows the correct location in the texture picture:

FLIP Button switched OFF:


Of course the rendering is then also correct:


When I now save the file as OBJ and open it in any other 3D model editor, for example Blender or even a simple viewer as Microsofts Windows 10 built-in 3D-Viewer, the model is textured as if the Button FLIP has never been switched to OFF.

Looking at the UV-Map in Blender, it shows that it is located as if the FLIP button has been set to ON.

Blender:


Is this a bug in 3D Model Researcher? It neither seems to save the flip button state within the OBJ file nor does it change any of the UV map coordinates, etc.

How can I get a correctly textured OBJ model export?

Thanks and best regards

Yes, the program does not take into account the position of the texture when saving the model. I will try to fix it in the new version.
Thanks for reporting the issue.

Update - Pro version
- Added all features from update v2.7
- Unpacking Zlib data Video. Zlib is often used to compress models. Usually the beginning of such data is byte 0x78.

Hi Lazov,

is there any chance for an update or a new version this year?
Do you need any support, for example some files to test if it's working correctly? I'll be happy to help.

Best Regards

Hello! Here is a model that is very strange. I can't open it. I don't know if I can open it in Python.

Hello? I've paid for the Pro version on your website then where is my key code? Don't tell me this is a trap

Is this software already dead?

Write to me in PM or through the form on the website. I am not aware of the email address you provided. I don't even know when you bought the program. Give me more information.

Hello,

Is possible to open these .sb3d and .sba files from Need For Speed: No Limits, or, at least, understand the model structure?

I bring a BMW M3 E46 GTR as example.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6zgfvatbljfe4 ... 6.rar?dl=0

Thank you.

UPDATE:

I found that the .sb3d file is compressed, and I have extracted the chunk files thanks to a script from "DKDave" on Discord, but now I'm not sure where the 3d models are; I think there are stored in the most heavy file, but Idk where to find the start offset of the vertices ... I'm not good to read the hex code

Here the sample: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4lmr5haze130d ... s.rar?dl=0

Update v2.8

- Replaced the Offset field widget with Spinbox. Spinbox allows you to increase and decrease the field value by one using small buttons or <Up> / <Down> keys;
- Added editing history (Undo / Redo) for Offset, Count, Padding, Pad Inter fields. Called by the keyboard shortcut <Ctrl + Z> / <Ctrl + Y> when the focus is on a field;
- Added number converter Hex / Dex / Oct / Bin ("Tools" -> "Converter");
- Small bugs fixed.

Pro version will be updated later.
