This is what I use when I want to do a quick animation run or just check out a 3D model.
2 example models are included, and 2 animations.

on no$psx I get a black screen... it doesn't crash tho strange

[Greg]

Work with NO$PSX ver 1.9 on win XP and with ePSXe ver 1.6.0

[gwald]

Strange, same version.. I've tried a few virtual box OS's and it doesn't work..
But No$PSX is the only which does work in VB for me anyway.
It works fine in linux with PCSXR
Good little test app @isufje, thankyou!

what software did you use to anímate the model with vertex animation and how you exported it to include it in the source?

I'm pretty sure he used one of the MIME tools that came with the PlayStation SDK. If I remember correctly, you basically take 2 models (one as a base and another as a keyframe) in TMD format which you both run in MIMESORT which will generate a keyframe file containing the vertex differential between the two models.

The downside of this animation method is that because its vertex animation, the transitions may look like the model is warping if you don't create enough keyframes.

In this example the MIMEFILT.EXE was used for creating VDF file.
Looks like MIMESORT is not required here.

Code: Select all

	md0.tmd		Base model
	md1.tmd		Deformed model for MIMe motion-1
	md2.tmd		Deformed model for MIMe motion-2
	md3.tmd		Deformed model for MIMe motion-3
	md4.tmd		Deformed model for MIMe motion-4
	md0.vdf		Differential vertex file
	md0.ndf		Differential normal file (if used "-n" option)

	mimefilt -n md0.tmd md1.tmd md2.tmd md3.tmd md4.tmd

How did you make the Model Single Mesh, I mean that for each Texture it is by separate Polygon but here in a Single Object that has multiple textures, how did you do it? Is there a Blender plugin or Addon that can do that?
