Mesh Viewer



yes you read right, this is the first release version of my Mesh Viewer. Most of you may wonder why i'm working on this project since there is already a working MeshViewer. So let me point you out my reasons for this new Mesh viewer.
1) The old one was just a beta it crash from time to time depending on the file you want to open. My one will show you a error message and continues working.
2) The other viewer was limited to pitch and yaw. This viewer allows you to rotate how ever you like, but you can still limit the rotation direction.
3) There are no side widgets you don't want to have there (Mesh List).
4) Cloth can be displayed
5) light support with specular map
6) You can view the source code

finally i'm gonna work on more features, but i think i got a state that can be released as a first full version.

source
download
updater

I hope you understand that i don't have so much time to share all new features with you. So there are 3 update channels:
1) deferred cannel: that's here you can download everything you need in a rar file from my dropbox
2) current channel: i update more often the release folder in my repository. You need git to get this version (see tutorial at the bottom)
3) insider channel: you need to build the tool from the source by your own. Explanation in the WIP Thread

How to get current cannel:

I downloaded the tool, it looks very cool ! But there's one thing : when I launch this mesh viewer, I have this error :
"This application failed to start beacause it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "".
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem"

The app is in my "download" file, like the mesh v0.8 (the old one works fine in the download file). I've also reinstalled the app. So what's wrong, and how can fix this please ? I really want to use your tool Anakin so please help me. Thank you !

yeah i changed the library. Please try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kr7sc15tqd8fd ... s.dll?dl=0

Avast seems to think this is a virus.

Also, I'm getting the same issue above when I can run it, and I did download the qwindows.dll you provided.

the file does not fix it??

Does everyone have this problem?? I'll upload the whole Qt library to see if there is any dll that can fix it. For me it works just fine. Maybe there is something in my enviroment variables pointing to the right things

I also have the same problem like the others.

Found an thread in the Qt forum. Can you please try this:

..\MeshViewer.exe
..\*.dll
..\platforms\qwindows.dll

That works. Thanks

EDIT: Pretty neat MSH viewer.

A few observations:

-Transparency needs to be added in.
-Some meshes don't appear at all.
-Some models with addons attached do not display the addons correctly.

great

can you tell me what assets do not work?? For me everything works.
Transparency will be added once i got the light working

At the moment, it only fails to display the RT-97C in Sereja's asset packs. It says there are 0 triangles in the options.

I got this when running it even with the qwindows.dll in same folder.



I use winXP for modding SWBF2

Go and get Windows 10

or redownload and test the xp support ; )


==EDIT==

@ggctuk: the file is corrupted. It says MYTP instead of MTYP to indicate the Model Type. So the actual model type is never analysed and so from default 0 and so it's always ignored at the mesh indices (as i remember now i can ignore the vertices, too that will increase the import performance)

Keeps asking for VCRUNTIME140.dll for me. No dice. Using Win10 with qtwindow.dll fix.

please install the VS runtime components: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downloa ... x?id=48145

Me too, I use Windows XP Pro SP3 but it seems to be working here though.

V1.0.1 doesn't work either?? I compiled with Win XP support

an other reason could be that your firewall things it's a virus and so it makes it unusable for Win. That causes the same message.

I guess you misunderstood what I said, it works on my machine.

EDIT
I also see you edited the first post after Icemember reported that error, so I guess I am using the fixed version.

yeah i fixed it. So it seams the fix works

Tried it. Was told I was running a newer version.

I've downloaded the VS runtime conponents and I've installed them, but I have the same error. I will look my firewall to see if it blocks the mesh viewer.
