Model Importing?
- Thread starter Shadoroth

1:scale
it would be easy enough just to put in a slider or a type in to do it but geting a preview of the sixe in game of the import would be not so easy
2:colors, hardend and docking
lets say the game can sort everything into the colors available and you can set all to hardend or non hardend
where would you put glass and how would you define where docking ports and turret forts ouwld go
baisicly most of the problems are going to be translation
i saw someone doing something with a kinect and bringing stuff straight into minecraft

I\'ve had a request for someone to do that sort of thing in my Offline Ship Viewer. My first pass will be importing OBJ files on a 1:1 scale since I already have OBJ parsing code. If there is enough interest, I\'ll move on to other file formats.
I don\'t have a feature request site that you can vote things up or down. For now just chime in on the thread. I\'m kind of doing things in the order of the noisiest first.

See the Offline Ship Viewer thread. Basic important of OBJ files is in the lastest post. I did scaling differently. Basically you say the \"longest dimension\" you want, and it scales the data in the OBJ automatically.
For example, the model I tested with had bounds of (-2.05, -9.849999, -2.349999) -- (2.049999, 1.15, 2.85). I requested a ship witha longest dimension of 100. The widest dimension of the model was 11, so it automatically scaled by 9.09. The resulting ship boundaries were (-19, -90, -22) -- (19, 11, 26).
I think OBJ files are pretty universal. But please try it out with your favorite models so I can be sure of the limits. I think larger models will run it out of memory, but my test one was 20 megs, and it worked for that, so I\'m hopeful.
