Re: New Blender Bin Import / Export Plugin

Blender plugin has been discontinued. Monvert is no more. BinEdit is the standard and should be used!

Re: New Blender Bin Import / Export Plugin

I will upload it as well to the trucks, but here it is. Kinda hard to see, but normal mapping on body with 29 shiny, the glass/windscreen is the new glass material 40, and the chassis and wheels are 18 nonshiny. (Hate shiny wheels!)

Edit: This is all HD quality pngs/bin

Fila wrote: Sat Aug 22, 2026 5:31 am I updated the docs with the new mesh preset too.
I didn't add the normal strength type but it already uses the node from Blender which is correct or generates 1.0 strength normal. It already only did the _N to the png filename. It is up to version 11_1.

Re: New Blender Bin Import / Export Plugin

Got to work on it further and removed the new material type in the animated models. I also added the ability to export the normalmap associated with the node if there is one otherwise it can generate it. Not sure what else is needed.

Re: New Blender Bin Import / Export Plugin

I finished v5 it has the new material types being wrote and raw extension and header is correct. They load off the flip in MTM2 now. Waiting for png loading to work and everything should be fine. I can set all the face types.

Re: New Blender Bin Import / Export Plugin

Tator boi, this is a glb model I created and imported in blender and exported with new the new Monvert5. For some magical reason any model exported won't load automatically in MTM, if i load it in Binedit and export instantly it works fine?
I will post the new version shortly, add pod export so we ...

Re: Discussion about game limits, format support and converters going forward

Hey Fila, not sure if you saw my other post, rambled about glb models, binary models that include the texture embedded into the model, can either be png or jpg or size. I strongly suggest against tga and tiff, tga is legacy. If you do go the glb route I'll send you code for a model loader with cgltf ...

Re: MTM2 Beta Patch 0.50 - Spreadsheet menus begone!



Hey Fila, with all the work you have done and I know you have been busy. What's the chances we can get the actual count on max values? like triangles/vertices for trucks and textures? I messed with OGRudeE's Blender plugins and testing and importing other model formats. 10,000 triangles work but ...

Re: Community Patch Wishlist

Fila, simple items that could be implemented.

Instead of using raw/act files since the extension is wrote in the bin model texture blocks, simply changing to png for better texture management, I would recommend stb_image library, very easy to use. If not that, at least bumping up the texture size ...

Re: MTM2 Beta Patch 0.50 - Spreadsheet menus begone!

Hey, it would have to be up to Fila and regards to the code, but I have done extensive OpenXR coding with VR and would be curious. Project Monster has a VR version and it's pretty fun actually.
