Construct Skinning Utility

Uber-Banana · Post by **Uber-Banana** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 12:01 pm

Construct is an application that is used for skinning purposes.

Forget all those nasty 3rd person applications and Photoshop plugins to convert DDS textures back and forth.

This will handle it all!

Features include:

DDS Importation and viewing on model.
DDS Conversion
Convert DDS to BMP/JPG/TIFF/PNG
Convert BMP/JPG/TIFF/PNG to DDS
View your custom skins on Halo(PC) models
Wireframe view

BETA Stage

Features that i'm looking to implement:

Skinning of model WHILE its on the model. (Will be rather simple, no filters etc.)
Backups of DDS Files.
Importation of Custom Models.(Can already be done, but only when the model is in 3ds format)
Im still working on the Cubemap importation utility, its not working how I initially wanted it to so I disabled it.

Please note that this only opens 3ds format model files.

And the DDS conversion is currently experiencing some errors.

it WILL convert DDS format into BMP/JPG/PNG/TIFF BUT, it isnt correctly converting back to DDS. File header issues.

The error you are experiencing may have to do with a problem with the 3d engine library. This error will be corrected.

I havnt got my laptop back yet from my mom to try visual basic, but even though i hsvnt learned programming, this line stood out on the errors details:

C:\Documents and Settings\Eddie\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Construct Skinning Utility\Construct Skinning Utility\modRender.vb:line 28

is it possible to get this on vista? every time i try and run it i get exception....

uber banana, the problem is it searches for files within the following folder...

C:\Documents and Settings\Eddie\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Construct Skinning Utility\Construct Skinning Utility

You need to replace that location into the location of the program (i.e from what folder the program was initiated from), so if I put it into c:/program files/construct, it will look for files within c:/program files/construct, not the location that its in on your computer

joemammy47 · Post by **joemammy47** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 11:40 pm

....i have no clue what that means or how to fix it for my self.
