Title: BfMeshView 2.2.0 released
Post by: Remdul on 04-10-2012, 20:10:34
I just released a new version (BfMeshView 2.2.0)! Last release was over a year ago!

http://www.bytehazard.com/bfstuff/bfmeshview/

UPDATED: please re-download if your version reports as v2.1.0!

The highlights:
* full BF2 shader emulation
* support for suffixed textures
* added vehicle component positioning (loads .CON)
* added CollisionMesh color legend
* experimental SkinnedMesh vertex weight tools
* much improved UV editor
* integrated animation player with main window
* lots of bug fixes, performance tweaks and improved compatibility

Feedback welcome. Please report regressions and new bugs.

The .exe still says v2.1.0, that's not right....?

And there's a .svn directory in the zipfile ;).

I don't know about the rest of you but the legend for the CollisionMesh is not showing up.

Whoops! Looks like something went wrong with the upload or something got mixed up. At any rate, I failed to verify the download. Should be fixed now! Please re-download and nuke the old one.

Could you please share with us what would the practical use of the skin tool be?

Well say you spend time making a really great weight table, export the mesh, go in-game, and find that by some strange happening a vertex on his foot is attached to a bone in the head and its causing a strange stretching issue. Well you could go and just, fix that vertex, and not have to re-export or screw with a weight table.

So I've got this problem: I can't see any mesh in the normal rendering mode, only the Vertex order and Triangle overdraw rendering modes work... I suspected some kind of virus but I ran a scan and that should not be the case. Any idea what might be wrong? It's been 2 months since I've last done some work with this and now the models just don't show up :-\

I'm still having the same issue as well.

What gpu drivers are you using? I haven't changed a thing HW-wise on this PC and this worked fine months ago, so I have a feeling it might be drivers related.

I wanted to get some more animations done, but without this tool, it's a big no-no.

This tool can be improved by creating a new and improved compile to game / mod feature.

Have it point to the main mesh, LOD's and materials and compile for game ready use.

so I tried to load some bf2 models with it, and it worked fine... but they were without textures as I haven't set the path to bf2 textures, so I tried to load a model from fh2 with textures disabled and it worked. but when I try to load the textures as well, the tool crashes.
