Is there a way to change the background color of the viewer to something like a static green? Trying to get some contrast from the actual model.

 

Use the Environment Slider on tje right side.

so if we use the latest modelviewer2 from link above, and install it somewhere else...

 

1)

how do we get the livery plugin aware of available liveries (i.e. both listboxes are empty) ?

 

2)

is it possible to set the default model/livery to load via autoexec.cfg / autoexec.lua?

 

i wasnt successful getting it to load anything from:

C:\Users\<my-LOGIN>\Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config\autoexec.cfg

 

using for example...

LoadModel("CoreMods/aircraft/FA-18C/Shapes/fa-18c.lods")

LoadLivery("FA-18C_hornet","Fictional UK Air Force")

It's easier to use the built in Modelviewer for livery creation of DCS models.

 

The standalone is mainly for creators.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Crashes Max on export

 

Tried a clean install of the plugin and still crashes.

 

Note-

on installing the plugin there is a pop up that says it's already installed even though I uninstalled.

Any news on fixing the 2017 plugin? The bug of conflicting arg animation is so tedious:cry:

Is it possible to get a copy of an older version of the standalone modelviewer which supports opening edmv8 files? The one that ships with the previous version of the openbeta is still capable of loading v8 edms. Since the update of DCS 2.5.5 drops support for v8 files, this older version of modelviewer would be extremely useful to view these older files for archive and recreation purposes.

 

The alternative is to maintain an entire install of an older copy of dcs just for the modelviewer app, which is a huge waste of drive space. I hope ED can kindly consider fulfilling this request. Thank you.

The oldest on the server is 1st June but it’s an early build of the current one we’re having. The versions that ship with the main Sim isn’t updated that frequently. So we’ll need something that much older from the FTP server

Has anyone else been playing around with some of the new features they've added to the modelviewer in this latest patch? They've added a dedicated button for reloading the textures as well as some interesting new stuff in the tools panel related to the upcoming carrier DLC. Have people come across any other interesting additions?

Had the same a few versions back. The problem was the transperant illum materials.

Hi,

 

 

it's only if you activate the parameter "2-sided" and use "transparent_self_ilum" or "old_tree" Material.

I think it's a bug.

 

 

Greetings...

Double check in the scenes folder that it is exported.

 

Make sure you have textures on the model and they are made cool.

Hi, I'm searching for the self_illumination edm example that was contained in the old plugin and in the Wiki.

Thanks
