• What is TDMEModelEditor?

  • TDME based 3D model asset viewer/editor

• What is already working

  • model loading
    • DAE, Wavefront OBJ, FBX, TM model files and TMM meta data files
  • model meta data file saving
    • TMM
      • stores its model as TM file additionally
  • render with generated ground, shadowing, bounding volume
  • rotate, zoom
  • setting up model properties
    • key, value map for what ever reason
  • setting up the model pivot
  • setting up bounding volumes
    • none
    • sphere
    • capsule
    • bounding box
    • oriented bounding box
    • convex mesh
      • multiple convex meshes can be automatically generated from any mesh using V-HACD
      • or be imported from a given model with each top level group representing a convex mesh
    • concave terrain mesh
    • bounding volumes can be transformed by using a gizmo
  • LOD level editor
    • type, distance, model, adjustment add/mul color, ...
  • material editor
    • adjust colors, textures, masked transparency
  • animations editor
    • create, edit and delete animations
    • relate sounds to animations
  • sound
    • attach sounds to optional animations with optional additional key
    • also set up gain, pitch, looping, fixed and offset for each sound
  • set up rendering options
    • shader
    • use dynamic shadowing
  • tools
    • be able to compute smooth normals
  • see statistics
    • opaque faces
    • transparent faces
    • material count
