L1nkZ 49 Posted March 25 (edited) Hi everyone, A few days ago I started working on an "RSM to glTF 2.0" model converter as an excuse to toy with the glTF file format. I don't know if this'll be useful to anyone but I'm making it open-source so people can re-use it (maybe as an alternative to xarple's converter). glTF, unlike most other formats, allows easily sharing/showcasing models on the web, like so: * https://tinyurl.com/na33zm9s (model made by @Syouji from here) * https://tinyurl.com/22vs9nhm (model made by @Naruto from here) The project is still very early in the development process so it's not refined at all but it should be fairly usable as it is. You can find it on github: https://github.com/L1nkZ/rag2gltf Limitations * glTF 2.0 doesn't support texture animations Releases 0.1.1 - https://github.com/L1nkZ/rag2gltf/releases/tag/v0.1.1 0.1.0 - https://github.com/L1nkZ/rag2gltf/releases/tag/v0.1.0 Screenshots Microsoft 3D Viewer Blender Better quality: https://webmshare.com/play/d7BBY Edited April 10 by L1nkZ 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mael 245 Posted March 26 What a great contribution! I've seen that many mappers seek to convert rsm2 to rsm to use with browedit, it would be great if your converter could do it. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mina-chan 76 Posted March 26 (edited) OOOHHH!!! Finally, something to convert RSM2 ; W ; !! THANK YOU!! And for making a new converter! The other one is good, but has got some problems and often it doesn't convert the models x3 But I have a question: is glTF 2 better than fbx and obj? The tools that we currently have (rsm converter and Bromedit) can only import fbx and obj (as a mesh) respectively, to save them as rsm afterwards). *I ask because it would be good to have those formats too, but maybe for later on! RSM2 is way more important right now >w< Oh by the way, is it possible for it to have an exe file later on? x3 thank you!

Generating RSM files from other formats (including RSM2) was not in my priority list but I'll see if I can do something about this. On 3/26/2021 at 5:04 PM, Mina-chan said: OOOHHH!!!

RSM2 is way more important right now >w< Well, RSM2 files are not handled yet! Comparing file formats is always a matter of pros and cons. The OBJ format lacks some features and is less compact than glTF 2.0, that's for sure. About FBX vs glTF 2.0 though, the main advantage is about development and maintenance I'd say. Since glTF is an open-source format, it's easy to find implementations, re-use them and also maintain a working converter in the future. Another advantage of glTF is its portability (to the web notably). FBX might be better for general purpose model editing at the moment though.

I'll see if pyinstaller can do the trick. Edited March 27 by L1nkZ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
312200492 3 Posted March 29 Great. I hope that the progress of R & D of rsm2 conversion can be brought to the forefront. So far, the most troubling problem for everyone is how to degrade the rsm2 model, resulting in various game maps not working properly. This is not my familiar field, and I can't give much help.

Tokei Uploaded an article before, which may serve as a reference Hi! Yes I'm currently working on supporting RSM2 models (without animations at first) and I'm totally basing that on Tokei's work (thanks a lot to him for releasing his code). RSM2 models are now supported (still without animations)! Thanks again to @Tokei, who made this a lot easier by sharing his work on the format.

Do you plan to release the conversion program after repairing the animation？？ Edited April 7 by Mael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you plan to release the conversion program after repairing the animation？？ Yes, of course, everything is published on the github repository (see the first post). Animations are now converted as well, except for texture animations, which aren't supported in glTF 2.0 unfortunately!

Mael 245 Posted April 8 (edited) @L1nkZ I recommend adding some kind of executable or a precompiled version, so those who have no experience with phyton can use it. Edited April 8 by Mael 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

312200492 3 Posted April 12 (edited) Thank you. This is very useful for us. I have successfully converted the model Edited April 12 by 312200492 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
