SegaXtreme
Today I started making an export script for my favorite free 3D modeling tool blender. It's a python plugin which currently doesn't use any external python modules.
The output looks quite good:
The challenge is to map the Saturn specific display attributes in a smart way. Some attributes are not completely supported yet. So it's still WIP and just for your information.
To those who may ask "Why this?":
It's meant to be a 2nd way besides using 3DEditor.
You can't change geometry in 3DEditor, only material properties. Applying geometry changes must thus be done in a sepertate 3D modeling tool. Then all work done with 3DEditor before is lost.
My texture coordinate mapping stuff could be formed to a commandline tool to even have a 2nd way for the texture mapping precomputation of 3DEditor's tool "Texture List".
The output looks quite good:
