its called metasequoia, look it up on the internet, it will take you to its webpage (mostly in Japanese!) where you might be able to download a free version.. later...------------------

Make sure you choose 3d studio \ soft/x \ lightwave 3d \ rhinoceros (could be more) in the "Axis" table when you're saving your models... but i'm not sure that this is the selouting to your problem.. but try that...------------------

When you save back to DXf use this setting.  Also you must have to click on "swap xy" buton. Note about the "multiply" dialog, if you opened a DXF with Metasoquia then the model was rescaled for 1.16 so you must have to put this control to 0.16 for rescaling back the model. If after importing the model ton strpix3 you just get a black screen, then probably you model is to big ,so you need to zoom in so you can be able to see the object in the window. be sure about dimension about your model, remeber that a TRLE square in the level editor is 10.24 x 10.24 size in your CAD program. (if the model was not re-scaled). Don't fotget to download lastest Strpix3 3.5 Rev 1.
good luck.

To Doron, that was a 'bug' in version 3.4 rev1 of STRpix.
You should download the newest STRpix (3.5 rev1) at http://www.trww.com/turbo_pascal/Strpix3.zip .Than just select the mesh you talked about, export it to .dxf, and then reimport it. Now the light-problem should be fixed. Bart IP: Logged |

>access violantion at address 004039DB in >module 'STRPIX3.EXE'. read adresss FFFFFFFMost likely your are trying to import a custom model with too much polygons. (rectangles or triangles) You can't import a whole house or whole Car over a mesh. there are some limits, please
read the readme file. To Trlestuff
============= Seems that your object size is correct, but YOUR CUBE IS NOT CENTERED, it is so far away from the center, so you can't see anything in strpix3. I was clear in the readme file, PLEASE, CENTER YOUR OBJECT AT THE CORDINATES 0,0,0. 1 also note tha the layer name is incorrect so your cube will have not textures after import.
i sent you back the cube.
When you open/save the DXF in metasoquia, at the import dxf dialog click the button "invert YZ" control.
------------------------------------------
Also, please, check the size for your custom object, one guy sent me once a DXF with a object about 400 times biger that Lara!!!. remeber to use 10.24 unit sizes for each square in the TRLE. when build object, please always check : - Layers names.
- Object sizes.
- Object position.
- Amount polygons used.
- Correct 3dfaces DXF file selected.
Please, before start building your custom object, learn how import/export DXf using correct DXF extracted from WADs files.

I had no problem on the models. But i wonder why it isn't recieving lights like customised lara does. and i wanna know that if there is a way to remove the 'magnetic force' which blocks lara to pass though the orginial object. Thanks. BTW, when I import a transparent texture (ie TEXTUR_0831_3_1) the transparent data isn't imported into strpix... it was a nightmare to retexture it you know...IP: Logged |

What???
I sent you back a file called fex.dxf, it is your Cube well centered, i opened fine in strpix. did you try to open that file??
>thanks turbo, but even when i'm importing >the same object i exported from the strpix

If you are using Strpix 3.4 or above and
If you open a original WAD from CD, and you export and import back the model, then there is not reason for crash strpix3. I guess that your problem is your video card. dissable all hardware features and try again. >I had no problem on the models. But i >wonder why it isn't recieving lights like >customised lara does. and i wanna know that >if there is a way to remove the 'magnetic >force' which blocks lara to pass though the >orginial object. It should work for any model, i tested with vase in tut1 and work fine, try with other objects. > Thanks.

What do you mean by " dissable all hardware..."?

as I can read a bit of Japanese... ;-)Here is where you can download METASEQ
(in English)
http://www1.sphere.ne.jp/mizno/main_e.html Here is also another fantastico freeware 3D software and game engine from the Netherlands. http://www.blender.nl/index_community.php problem with the 2nd one is that it saves DXF in the 2nd format and not the format STRPIX is using!
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. 
MIRAI ps. BTW Turbo. That's a cool piece of software
you made there. Well done son! IP: Logged |
