Hi doshea.

The original 3dz Studio has been worked on by other people. Sydbod has fixed Gurney's original code, and Will Baldwin too the original code and made an much improved basic studio, without RS and Normals.

If you wanted the basic code, what would you want to do with it. I know Gurney would have no objections, if the you wanted to improve his editor fr the EAW community.

I'd be interested in making it support .3dx files from F-15 Strike Eagle III and at the same time not require the use of external tools to do the rendering sequence tree and normals/plane equations. Also, since you mentioned that the rendering sequence tree generation doesn't always work, I'm interested in looking at that - I've been thinking myself about how to generate the rendering sequence tree. I might not be able to generate a correct one (i.e. one that works), but I'm sure I could do something about the running forever and filling up the hard disk, that is I could make it display an error message!

Regards,
David

Hi doshea.

So, that wuld be like Will then. He made his version handle 3db for Gunship, as well as 3dz for EAW.

I'll PM you in a min.

Hi

An important note:

The 3dzStudio version included in the 3DZ_Starter_Kit.zip, which is Sydbod’s improved version will CTD if you open and work with 3dz’s that only have one element.
For such 3dz’s I use WB’s version of 3dzStudio, which doesn’t have that problem.

Cheers

Hi Guys.

I thought it might be worth Bumping this old thread.

As the original file downloads don't work anymore I've uploaded the latest 3dz Studio and support files on the link below.
