Is there a program that lets me export ff7 3d models?

[Eddy]

That lets me export ff7 3d models into a format which 3dsmax or a similar 3d app can read? I tried leviathan, and it just shows the models, no way i can rotate camera, or export the model. Ive tried several, but havent come across one yet. Help would be appreciated, i wanna show the remake squad what i can do

try ultima from alhexx

Alhexx's P2LWO converter is rather good too. However, no matter how you export it, currently, no one supports out-putting the color info, so you'd have to do that by hand. What a drag, huh?

Is ultima written in vb? because i would like to help with the interface because i cant get around using none of the tools, leviatahn is cool, but i cant do anything with it but view it.

I've been doing all my work using Ultima itself.  I've been able to get quite a bit done with it, I think.  Then again, I haven't seen anything to compare my work to, either.

I'll upload some of the recent stuff I've done later one.  No one seems too interested in it anyways.

And I'll humbly plug my thread on suggestions for the programs that're out...

shinra, you have AIM? or MSN Messenger ? I would like to get in contact with you

[Alhexx]

Ahh, this topic seems *made* just for me (and Fice...)

Well, if you want to export the FF7 models, you first need to get then out of the LGP Archives. You should use LGPTools by Ficedula ( http://ficedula.cjb.net ). Then, once you have exported them, you can use Ultima to load the models and export it to LWO or Milkshape RAW format. You can also get an Importer PlugIn for Milkshape 3D from my page:

Oh, if you don't have Milkshape:

BTW, yes Ultima is written in VB6

Ah yes, we're fortunate to have clever-sighted people like eddy here. He saw right through the bluff! The huge "AIM" button below every post of Shinra's is, in fact, useless compared to posting him to ask for it.

Bad mood today, exams starting.

i wouldt mind helping you out with some GUI stuff and basic functions in vb if you would like some help    .  Just let me know, or send me the source, and ill go from there. I cant get around using your tools, or fices, but i guess i can learn    . And damn Qhimm, i was actually happy when i found these forums, you dont gotta get all defensive on me just cuz i didnt see a button, shit, its not like i commited a crime

hey hey, i think that my conv can get it out with colors. But im not sure about that, coz i never tried it with Lightwave.

[Alhexx]

I'm very sorry, but my sources aren't "public domain" (or at least most of them) ... you will have to work with the compiled version or get some descriptions 'bout the formats and program a converter yourself.
That's the way I did it...

Oh ok guess ill have to write my own  

[mirex]

To the Leviathan - I was thinking about export option, but then somebody noticed that it is illegal. But surely there are ways, just search harder.

[Darkness]

illegal? any moreso that ultima?

...Then again, anything short of leaving the unopened box sitting on a shelf to collect dust can be construed as illegal if someone hires a Lawyer that'll spend enough time finding an excuse.

God bless the USA.  -.-

Don't mind me.  Someone painted the curb next to my car last night, and ticketed me for it.  Thus;  >:[email protected]

*Wonders if he could add color export/conversion info for the P2LWO plugin...*

*Then wonders if he would know how to do it.*

*Then he gives up, and decided to ask Alhexx to add it when he gets back from Spain.*

Some LW6+ support would also be nice... I DID send you the LW source code, right?

Sephiroth3D: i really think that conv can export model from P to LWO with colours. Try it.

And please Seph, could you tell me if there is some file format, which can be saved with vertex colours ? (except P format). Thank you in advance.

[Sephiroth 3D]

Ok, you want to know one? Fine. Lightwave 6+ objects can save vertex colors to what it calls a "vertex map". I think I emailed you the code when I emailed it to Alhexx. I could send it again if you need it...

And when I say colors, I'm talking vertex colors, not flat colors. I know yours can do that now. (Except that it puts the diffuse for every surface at 0% when it should be 100%.)

Yes, you've mailed it to me. However, I haven't been able to create a useful exporter or converter yet
