SOOOOO....

I was channel surfing the web when I came across this program, which is a command line program that creates *.BMD files like obj2bmd.

It appears to have the same level of capability as our current obj2bdl v0.4 (or v0.5 if you found that obscure build) but it uses Collada *.DAE files as input and (try not to get excited here!) it seems to support ALPHA TEXTURES, MULTIPLE UVS, AND MULTIPLE BONES in meshes!

Here's everything I know so far about it:

POSITIVES
+ Creates *.BMD files with same capabilities as obj2bdl (supports geometry, UVs, vertex colors)
+ Can create multiple-boned meshes (once we get bone animation commonplace in SMG/2 mods this would help make quite a few awesome mods!)
+ Can use textures with alpha channels properly (FINALY!!!)
+ Up to 8 multiple UV sets (Don't know what you'd want to do with that, but OK.)
+ Up to 2 vertex colors per vertex (Still don't know what can be done, but OK as well.)

NEGATIVES
- It seems to be in very early development.
- Requires 3DS Max as it will only accept *.DAE files made with it (the developers though are working to remove that limitation.) A way around that could be a converter that converts regular *.DAE files into the ones that 3DS Max makes. I know said converters exist because I looked for them. Some are online and some aren't.
- Not widely tested (according to its E. Gadd's Workshop thread it was tested with Super Mario Sunshine and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It could probably be retrofitted for the Galaxy series though.)
- According to the GitHub repo, it says the program works well with "simple-boned" meshes but has rendering issues with "complex-boned" ones. Don't know what that means either, but OK for the third time!

OTHER
* Should probably use with bmd2bdl to work for Galaxy but might not be necessary.

Here are a few links to look at if you're interested:

GitHub repository for BMDCubed.
GitHub releases page for BMDCubed.
BMD2BDL v0.2 (for conversion to *.BDL)
E. Gadd's Workshop Thread for BMDCubed.

A 3-hour-long livestream of it in action:


A much shorter video showing some results of the program.


This is extraordinary and I hope it helps to get a scene going again! YA-HOO!

EDIT: If you're getting it from GitHub I'd recommend to get the files from the single pull request too as it has a few improvements to the program. But do what you please: this is an amazing find regardless.

Hmm... Well, SMG & SMG2 Use BDL. Mostly, IIRA, BOTH games can and will load BMD files.

Otherwise, THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!!

That's an amazing tool. I've already heard about that but I'm not sure if it works with SMG games.

Well, both games actually use some BMD models. The sentry beamer ring marker from SMG2 is a BMD mdoel.

Heh. Clickbait Department… Think they're hiring?
LOL.

Yeah this is pretty good. I'm going to test this today to see if it works with SMG2 or not. Can't wait to see! Cross your fingers!

Well you can't just say that without actually knowing... I think.

Wasn't there a BMD to BDL tool which could be useful in this case?

Valid BDL files can be created from BMDs made by BMDCubed by passing them through bmd2bdl.

Ever heard of bmd2bdl?

Also:

WOW! Now I want to try this out... In fact, I think I'll do it right now!

EDIT TO MAIN THREAD: added links to GitHub releases page and download for bmd2bdl version 0.2.

Also, There is an .fbx to .dae converter. So blender users can change to a .dae that may be compatible with this program.

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=14942949

Later versions may or may not work.

But this converter REQUIRES 3ds MAX.

That's what I thought at first, but (that might not be the correct link) somewhere I was able to download the installer (which doesn't require 3DSmax).

If you can get me a link, I can finally try this.

you do see that i meant you can’t instantly use the output in smg2, right?

OK, Gave it a whirl, This happened: [This was when I used the 7.4 Binary FBX.]

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at BMDCubed.src.BMD.Geometry.VertexData.GetActiveVertAttributes(Grendgine_Collada_Mesh mesh)

at BMDCubed.Program.Main(String[] args)

And This happened: [This was when I used the 6.1 ASCII FBX.]

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at BMDCubed.Program.Main(String[] args)

And This happened: [This was when I used Blender's .DAE Exporter.]

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any suggestions?

Umm, Super Hackio you have to use 3DS Max and export the *.DAE from there using its own exporter.

Open the model you want with 3DS Max and click the 3DS Max icon in the top right corner, click Export. Under the Save As... file type dropdown, save as Autodesk Collada (DAE) and click export.

Autodesk software has a proprietary version of the *.DAE file format that is different from its open-source variant. Only those will work with BMDCubed.

But this is what I was testing: to see if a FBX ==> DAE autodesk converter would work.

3DS Max Costs money. Hackers like me don't exactly have the money to buy 3DS Max.
