is a tool to view Doom3/Quake4 models and animations. It supports any format

that the Doom3 engine can import.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
|

<p class="MsoNormal">There are two main ways to view models in this tool.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
|
||
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>1. Directly from files.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
|
||
<p class="MsoNormal">Use the open mesh toolbar button to load up an MD5MESH, LWO or
|
||
ASE file. The model will be displayed in the view window with all the assets
|
||
the game can find.</p>
|
||
<p class="MsoNormal">Use the open animation toolbar button to load up an MD5ANIM
|
||
file. Hit the play toolbar button to see the model with that animation. If the
|
||
model has no bones, or the animation was not defined for that mesh, then
|
||
unpredictable results will happen.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Use the <20>Spawn Class<73> drop down list to pick a spawn
|

<span class="GramE">class,</span>
|

this will populate the <20>Entity Type<70> drop down list with every entity type that
|
||
has that spawn class. Select your desired entity type from that list and the
|
||
mesh will be loaded up for that entity type. The animations in the def file for
|
||
that entity type will appear in the <20>Animations Available<6C> list view box. Add
|
||
these to the animation sequence using the >> button. Hit play to view
|
||
them.</p>
|
||
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
|

<p class="MsoNormal">Loaded files have the spawn class of <file> and the
|
||
entity type of <mesh name>. Within sessions, any loaded animations for a
|
||
particular mesh will be remembered.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Sounds based on frame commands will play when loading a model

through the def file system.

<span class="GramE">Directly loaded files will

not as they do not have the def file information.</span>
