[Applications] Model Editing Apps Updated (Windows/Mac)

[quinnie]

the WoWExplored's Table Viewer's link isn't exist, where can I download that? Or any dbc editing tool that works on 3.0.3.

Quinnie it does exist, its just outdated a bit.
you can go download Taliis if you like its a pretty useful tool.

Great collection of tools but... How come this statement?



None of the other BLP converter can compaire to this converter when it comes to handeling many files at once.
Most BLP converters only convert one texture at a time, with some of them you could convert 10 textures at a time.
The very top of the line blp converters could possibly handle about 40 textures at one moment without crashing.
Atop, with most converters you will wound up with TGA files.

This java baby though, stacks 200 textures easilly, fast and (according to taskmanager) without the use of a significant ammount of CPU or memory while doing it, AND the results are PNG files.

IMO this is the most useful converter out there.

Conclusion:
That's my opinion of experience.
If there is any problems with the quallity of convertions that I haven't noticed yet, I swear I will withdraw theese following words at once as I'd be happy to know.
But the fact that PNG's are to be viewed with windows explorers built in thumbnail/icon system while browsing folders, is timesaving and comfortable enough.
Combined with the quantity, speed, stability and CPU+Memory usage, this is by far the most powerful converter I have ever encountered.


Anyways, supercreds for a usefull thread, lot's of good tools up to date!

I've encountered problems with the convertion back to BLP, which nullifyes the MipMaps on some textures.
I noticed this on the character BLP's, where the mips got blacked out and the result I ended up with, was a black transparent layer, covering the full resolution texture.
This layer faded depending on the range of the model - untill zooming the viewing distance to the very closest.
Only at this point, the layer appeared as 'completely gone'.

Though it gave me a few ideas on effects, by varying the Mip's, when it comes to the true purpuse of the function, this java-converter turns useless when converting back from PNG.
I take back my words, based on this issue, but still sport and recommend the easeness of PNG-files in texture-editing form.
