SceneryDesign.org Sometimes a small preview video says more than a long piece of text. So therefore I have a preview video of the ModelConverterX LOD Creator functionality for you. Enjoy!
ModelConverterX magic
The last few days I have been working hard on improving the ModelConverterX tool again. Some other members of the Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design team were busy trying to convert some of the old API macros in the project to new FSX MDL files, so they provided me with a fresh stream of bugs. While […]
Some Wiki updates
I have added some additional information to the FSDeveloper Wiki. Update of the information on the FSX MDL format. This is mainly what I figured out while adding support for animations to ModelConverterX. Added an article to explain the different DXT compressions that can be used for textures. I would be happy to receive any […]
Textures
Some time ago I came across the website CG Textures which has a huge collection of images that can be very useful when looking for a specific texture. I think this might be a useful website for scenery designers.
Replacing the object market
Before we had a forum called Object market at the FSDeveloper site where people could share their work with other developers. This forum has now closed and all objects from it have been added to the downloads section. Of course users are still free (or I would even say encouraged) to contribute their work to […]
New categories
I have added two categories to the FSDeveloper forum. One for autogen related questions and another one for Microsoft ESP specific discussions. The ESP forum is meant for things that are related to ESP only, if it is a design question that applies to FSX and ESP both please use the existing subforums for scenery […]
Merry Christmas and Happy 2009
The last time I have been quite busy, so therefore there have not been any new posts on this blog recently. I have just come back from a short vacation in Belgium and am full of energy again to do some interesting FS related things in the remainder of my Christmas break. I plan to […]
The tool I should have made earlier
I think it was more than a year ago. Nick asked me if I would make a tool and my answer was that it was not necesairy because the tweak only involved a few easy lines of ASM code. Yesterday I started making a tool for this simple tweak, plus some other features. What am […]
Why is the 3DS format giving me trouble?
Over the weekend I have been continuing with the ModelConverterX tool again. A while ago I improved the FSX MDL importer so that it could read levels of details and animations, but at that moment I did not update the different exporters to handle these more advanced features as well. So now I decided it […]
Back from London
Yesterday I visited the ESP Developers Conference in London and I must say that it was very interesting. Being active for a long time in the FS community already the overviews of the SDKs and the basics of extending ESP did not provide much new things to me. But especially for the panel and gauge […]
