CeX3D Converter is a LightWave 3D / Unreal Editor / RenderMan converter.

News

• CeX3D Converter - User's Manual for the Graphical User Interface version added

• !!!Added Graphical User Interface!!!
• Added support for writing LightWave [6] objects
• Added support for reading Unreal Brush T3D files
• Added autodetection of texture resolutions for BMP and Targa textures during conversion
• Added option --forceTextureResolution=true in the commandline version to disable autodetection of texture resolutions
• Made workaround when LightWave object contains invalid surface source

Changes since 0.4.0:

• Added a --textureWidth=<width> option to allow specifying a separate width of Unreal textures.
• Added a --textureHeight=<height> option to allow specifying a separate height of Unreal textures.
• Removed the old (one day old? :) --textureResolution option in favor of --textureWidth and --textureHeight.

Changes since 0.3.6:

• !!!Added support for reading LightWave [6] objects and above!!!
• !!!Added support for UV-mapping (max. 3 accurate texture vertices)!!!
• Added support for reading Unreal brush files (without textures). This means that it's now possible to do Unreal->Unreal and Unreal->RenderMan conversion.
• Autodetects the format of all input files.
• Added a --scale=<factor> option to allow object scaling during conversion.
• Added a --textureResolution=<res> option to get Unreal texturing to work correctly.
• Added a --coordTransformsLH=<transforms> option for rotating objects during conversion. It uses special casing on multiples of 90 degrees to get accurate vertex coordinates. You would most likely want to use --coordTransformsLH=rz90,ry90 when converting from LightWave to the Unreal Editor.
• Added two example batch files for converting with only 2 mouse clicks in Windows Explorer.
• --backslashToSlash=true has been replaced by --toOSType=Unix.
• --slashToBackslash=true has been replaced by --toOSType=Windows.
• --fromTextureRoot=<root> now operates on the filenames after they have been converted according to --toOSType.
• RenderMan export now reuses textures accross different object surfaces so that each texture is loaded only once.
• Fixes some really nasty texturing problems.

Changes since 0.3.5:

• Output filenames are now generated from the input filename.
• Added commandline option --destFileName=<file> for specifying an output filename.
• Multiple files can now be converted at once by just listing all filenames to be converted.
• New internal architecture.

Changes since 0.3.4:

• Fixes some texturing bugs when converting to UnrealEd.
• Exported RenderMan files now also uses Gaussian filters instead of box filters.

Changes since 0.3.3:

• Fixes some object scaling bugs when converting to UnrealEd.
