Reality Factory

so basicly a promo of RF2?

Not quite. You will be able to use existing models and actors in RF2. In Neoaxis you have to start over with models etc. the axes are all different ie z=up instead of y, so all models need to be rotated 90degrees this then throws out uv mapping and animations. There doesn't seem to be a way round it yet so the only useful thing is the mesh. You can't place dynamic geometry either except at 0,0,0 so it has to be remade and offset in your 3d modelling program. Although the engine is fantastic I for one don't want to be starting over so I prefer to wait for RF2.

a guy on blenderartists told me:if you want it, look through the source yourself... or better yet, post working copies of each format and if they're text-based and relatively bug-free formats one of us will surely do it...

does anyone have the info about the format?

Pass them an NFO and KEY file. Just use 3DS Max and export a model to NFO and KEY. The formats are pretty self explanatory.

will do as soon as i have time.

Summarizing: How one becomes to export of the Blender to the Reality Factory, without using “milkshape”, “truegene” or "Gmax"? It is possible?

Excuse, my English is bad.

Not yet.We are trying to get another export option,besides truegene, gmax, and milkshape.....mainly, blender exporter.

This, actually, is so important to RF's immediate future( now till 2010, when RF2 comes out) that I may use 200$ of what I get in august from re-uping with the Guard to pay a coder to make that exporter.

@paradox,you said 3ds max,i dont have that but i vaguely remember gmax having an export script...

also,wat does NFO and KEY have to do with MOT and BDY?

NFO and Key files are the 3ds Max body and motion files that are created when using the G3D 3ds Max exporter plugin. You can use Actor Studio to change these files in to an .ACT file. An .ACT file is just a virtual file system that contains .BDY and .MOT files so basically Actor Studio converts the NFO and KEY files in to BDY and MOT files then places them in to a virtual file system file.

Also, I would recommend modifying Actor Studio to accept and convert .X (DirectX) files. Blender exports .X files and they contain both body and motion information. The .X files are also in ASCII format so you can read the .X file's data if you open it in a text editor. This will also allow other programs that export .X files to be used to create actors. Also if you look in the DirectX SDK docs you can find the specifications for the .X files format.

Yeah....what Allanon said...

It has some forecast of when goes to be ready blender exporter ?
It will be that some form does not exist to ask for for the creators of the Blender to create one export for RF? Perhaps they have conditions to make one, had only never thought about make it...

If someone is using GMax, they can do this for you. The GMax scripts export NFO and KEY files.

can sum1 do that pliz, cos i cant get the nfo and key script working.

If someone exports an NFO and KEY file for me, I will work on a Python script for Blender.
