tool for viewing BF models

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1O0SdQE3Jo0HECUZjbLhbdauZhHoLibAU

how to use:

1) Drop models into "BFModels" folder

2) run app

3) open model

4) press "Export to FBX" button

5) check folder with model

+fbx is with animations and with some magic you can use them in Unity

there are alot of bugs and some models will not open

Soon i will share sources for this tool

 

example jugerrnaut model

Sorry for bumping this old thread.

I had some free time again and started again to convert the old models and textures to a modern shading format. I have made this little tool in Substance Designer to convert traditional textures (Diffuse,Normal,Spec) to modern PBR textures (Base Color, Normal , Metallic, Roughness, Ambient Occlusion). It is for sure not the perfect and automated results will not give you the perfect result but I think its less time consuming and less complex than editing every single texture in Photoshop. If you got questions feel free to ask^^

How does it work?

  1. Simply get Substance Player (Free on their website -> https://www.allegorithmic.com/buy/download (You need to create a account))
  2. After installation, open my tool inside of Substance Player.
  3. Drag in the Textures on the "Place Bitmap here"-Area (_col is color, _nor = normal, _par = parameter) + Additionally you can import the .obj by draging it in the lower left area.
  4. Play with the Values untill you're happy.
  5. Press "Export as Bitmap"
  6. Specify Target Folder
  7. Specify Filename (I use this: *ObjectName*_%O)  [%O = the maps will be named properly]
  8. Press Export and you have your PBR Textures

So... is there a way anyone knows of I could take these model files and convert them into something I can 3d print?

Also desperate to know this please! Willing to offer like $20 to anyone who can furnish me with the Harvester 3d model for printing :3

@Linny

I have no experience with 3D Print but I can give you the file ready to work on in blender or maya if you like

:ohno:

Again resurrecting the thread: 

Someone mailed me and I got into it again... I used some early stuff already done by others here in the thread and started working on a mass converter to GLTF (universal 3d file format).

Early version up on Github but I'm able to convert the raw geometry to a GLTF:

Oh man, if only i could get my hands on some of the Battleforge models in the STL format...
I could go hogwild with the printer :p

@Fat4life:

There are a dozen converters from .gltf/.glb to .stl^^ Since my script is in like pre-alpha state (should work fine for all meshes geometry but its user unfriendly), I'd suggest checking out solcrows app. It can export .drs (you need to unpack the files ) to .fbx however its one only model at a time. With the generated fbx you can use any fbx to stl converter. But I think he had issues with some models if I recall correctly.

P.S.: I attached the a outcome of my script converted to stl using this converter https://products.aspose.app/3d/conversion/glb-to-stl

That's fantastic!
Dont got a clue how the get the "mass converter to GLTF" program to works though.

Any chance i could persuade you to send me a stl. file of the Ice barrier model to try and print?
I would gladly post some results :)
Im gonna try and wrap my head around the tools provided, but it's really not in my expertise.

@Fat4life Here are the files you need. (different converting techniques, see what works best - also there is a standard and a damaged version [...s_0, ....s_2]) -> Can't upload here directly since it the file is too big, so Google Drive it is.


For conversion to stl first thing in google: https://products.aspose.app/3d/conversion/gltf-to-stl

@Kiliangg hi kiliangg do you have discord? I would like to get a little bit more into this topic 

yes. However, always fairly limited on time :D

Here's a test print of the Ice barrier 3d model, with another model for reference (thank you  @Kiliangg :gem:)
Im gonna try and paint one of them to the best of my abilities, see how that goes.

I can see it now, a Battleforge miniature game... a man can dream :rolleyes:

I mean the converter can produce quite good results if you don't want to include animations and obviously that is not needed for 3d print. 
However I have no time atm to dig in deeper or produce a version simple enough to use for the regular user. Either a one click exe or an fully fledged version with ui

First of all: Big thx to all you posted something in this topic. It was a huge help!

I thought I post my story to the 3D Print topic to maybe inspire some to give it a shot too.

I buoyed my self a 3D Printer and was thinking, if I could print a Juggernaut or something like that?
I Don’t wanted to start with something to complex so I choose a building to start.

--> Amii Monument sounds cool

So with the help of this Forum-Topic, I found the pak file, exported the files and viewed them via LightSong 0.5

Spoiler

01.jpg.89dac0d2999b687539dc2780f2fe36dd.jpg


Realization 1:

The model was in the inactive state.
So export the Model as an obj, import it in Fusion 360 and pulling stuff around.

Export as STL and import it in to Cura.

Realization 2:

The print would Take 13,5 hours…
And i only have green filament...

Spoiler

ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif.946f7113a885da62cf53bf4d18e3e58a.gif

The filament I’m using is cheap and blocked the nozzle.
It would be cool to have it all in one piece, but I just printed the rest in a second run and stuck it together

Spoiler

The result didn’t look to bad:

Realization 4:

If you have an active Amii Monument -> You need an Orb.
So I took out my crazy bad soldering skills, some LEDs and som cling film

The plan is to replace the foil with a table tennis ball 😉
 

I have added the STL file if someone want to print his own Amii Monument

Since @xsissel joined the “BF-3D-Printing-Peoples” I wanted jo share some pictures of my Juggernaut (which is acutely the Incredible Mo Statue)
I posted them on discord, but if you are new to this stuff, I think you would start by looking in the forum and not the discord. (At least for me the discord search is… “interesting”)

First I placed the statue lower than the print bed so I will have a free standing Juggernaut

After alot of support removing it looked like this:

This time i wanted to try painting it so we stared with the evil cousin if the wight Juggernaut -> the “Black Juggernaut”

Hi, sorry for my late response @T1421.

That obj file is GREAT!  When I got a little more spare time on my hands I will defenitly print it.

I got the Photon Mono X printer, which can print in super high detail, i think ill do a mini sized one and a bigger one.

On the trail of Super Weapons, you can’t miss on a World Breaker Gun!!!

Had to split the model in 4 Parts else it would not be possible.
(Also did some changes to the model, so the printer had it ab bit easier)

And still there were a lot of support needed:

Was not the smartest idea to use a 3D printer with a 220 C° hotend and a 70C° printing bed when your flat has already 38 C° 🔥

Also tried to paint again… lets say: I made a first 3D design how a monument could look like on a  mud-map 😅

Another model, another Print (but i only had 10m of blue filament left so its very small 🙂 )
So this time we have the T3 Frost Stronghold 

Spoiler

image.png.f8bd6538b245184e28ef32065032bc71.png

For its size of 7cm there a still a lot of details (and stinging)
But the cannons have seen better days

Happy Printing
