ModelToSprite

Post by gamescore »

For my 2d game engine (WIP) i needed a programm to convert my 3d models to an animated 2d sprite sheet.
I found some at thegamecreators, but i did not want to spend money on this, so i started programming my own one
Links to thegamecreators:
http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2302
http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2301

For now it is very simple, but I am satisfied :D
The programm is totaly free !!!

Freatures:
-loading models
  • supported formats: - 3D Studio (.3ds)
    - Blitz3D (.b3d)
    - COLLADA 1.2/1.3 (.dae, .xml)
    - Cartography shop 4 (.csm)
    - DirectX (.x)
    - DeleD (.dmf)
    - Maya (.obj)
    - Milkshape (.ms3d)
    - My3D (.my3D)
    - OCT (.oct)
    - Ogre3d (.mesh)
    - Pulsar LMTools (.lmts)
    - Quake 3 levels (.bsp)
    - Quake 2 models (.md2)
    - Stanford Triangle (.ply)
    - Stereolithography format (.stl)
-loading textures (supported formats: .jpg .png .pgm .psd .bmp .rgb .pcx .ppm .pbm .tga .wal .rgba)
-move rotate and scale objects with hotkeys and controll windows
-change the background-color of the big preview window (512x512)
-very simple animation system
-saving spritesheet (animated or current frame)
-skip frames while exporting (for example just export every second frame)
-transparent textures

Hm, I guess I'll have to try it on Windows (Wine complains because I don't have MSVC-dll's installed on Linux). But I like the idea a lot as such a tool makes a lot of sense for 2d games.

hmm. I remember a guy who posted a similiar tool on "Tools & FaQ" but it was asking for money.. would be nice having a 2D sprite loader wich automatically bind a line of a sprite set to the same animation's enum for animated meshes. using XML of course :)

IGUISpriteBank is the only sprite-support in Irrlicht so far.

On XP crashes looking for msvcp100D.dll and msvcr100D.dll. As for rendering sprites from 3d I`d use 3d max with some plugins/scripts, but of course a free tool may also meet someone`s needs.

msvcp100D.dll and msvcr100D.dll? Did You compile it in debug mode? I think that next version should be compiled in release mode :)

This looks to be far more functional and has a much nicer ui design than mine
