    @@SomaZ - I thought the problem was with GLM normal maps, not MD3, yeah?

    @@DT85 - Something about the GLM's normal map on the right side seems like it needs inverting...

    @@Xycaleth - @@DT85 already posted comparisons of the MD3 and GLM normals-- and they are equivalent. It's in the renderer. GLM: MD3:
  4. Archangel35757
    @@DT85 ...you may need to specify the class and "::" scope operator to make it find the correct one for GLM.
  5. Archangel35757
    @@Xycaleth - perhaps it is a coordinate system thing between MD3 and GLM? The MD3 specs state: Also, aren't MD3 vertices/normals defined in a left-handed 3-space coordinate system and GLM is right-handed?
  6. Archangel35757
    ...but those tangents are all computed by the renderer-- so how does the renderer's computations differ between MD3 and MDX (aka GLM)?
  7. Archangel35757
    If you are smoothing all the vertex normals-- doesn't that defeat making custom normals in the XSI files (and its Carcass compilation into the GLM file)?

    One theory floating out there is Snoke could be Mace Windu...

    @@SomaZ - I think a feature like editing lights should only be available to a "special" light compile build and not available for the final compiled map... not sure if that is possible.
  11. Archangel35757
    but the ability to tweak the light position/orientation in-game using some new light editor would be much welcomed.

    @@SomaZ Isn't the term "directional light" the industry venacular for your "tubelight"? dlight is already used for dynamic lights, but since we are talking a direction, which is a vector... I would call it misc_vlight (for a directonal vector light entity). @@Xycaleth - An in-game light editor (for position, orientation, & property changes) is an awesome idea. Sounds like you are describing this editor: http://wiki.reflexfiles.com/index.php?title=Reflex%27s_Level_Editor Do any open source editors have light editors?

    Yep, I don't like `em either. Gonna delete them and follow the cutscene goggles look.
  19. Archangel35757
    So I spent today trying to come up with some goggles... I'm not too crazy about them, they could be embellished more-- but I'm thinking of deleting them and starting over. What do you think?

    If any of the plugins fail with Error 126 at start-up... it means it is missing a required dll. Please let me know and I'll try to help you find it and sort it out.

    @@minilogoguy18 - .FBX originates from Kaydara's Filmbox (FBX) software. Kaydara was acquired by Alias in 2004 and then Autodesk acquired Alias in 2006. The Filmbox software was for recording data from motion capture. It was renamed to Motionbuilder in 2002. We have dotXSI 3.0 exporters for 3ds Max 6 to Max2017. I also uploaded a free XSI model/animation viewer here: https://jkhub.org/files/file/1811-xsi-viewer/ So this community can share and view XSI files without any problems. I also have archives of Maya dotXSI 3.0 exporter/python code... which I believe could be updated for newer versions of Maya... (which is not a priority for me as a 3da Max user)... though I would like to see more Maya modellers in the community. The Crosswalk SDK died with Softimage in 2015... but I got lucky and it successfully compiled the exporters for 3ds Max 2017. Should it fail to work for Max 2018 then maybe I will attempt to pick up where @@Xycaleth left off with his FBX converter. But this is not a priority for me or anyone now... as XSI should work fine for at least a couple more years... or indefinitely if people don't upgrade beyond Max2017. Check out the XSI Viewer... (for your test scenes you'll need to export your scene lights for it to be lit properly in the Viewer. I don't export lights with the 3ds Max exporters but the viewer tool allows you to merge in more XSI files... so I just merge in a lights-only file). The FBX2013 model converter/viewer is also dead and not being updated.
