| - | ====== The Model Editor: Introduction ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Cafu Model Editor answers the question: "How do I get my models into Cafu?" | ||
| - | |||
| - | It's main purpose is to enable you to | ||
| - | - load or import model files from many file formats (see below for a list), | ||
| - | - inspect the loaded model both graphically and structurally, | ||
| - | - tweak and adapt the model (e.g. import additional animations, remove unused skeleton nodes, etc.) | ||
| - | - set or adjust all Cafu-specific settings, such as animation properties, edit render materials, etc., | ||
| - | - save the resulting model in Cafu's own file format, such that the model is ready for use in the Map Editor and the Cafu Engine. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Please note that the Cafu Model Editor is //not//, despite its name, a general-purpose mesh editor that lets you create a model from scratch. There are many commercial and free programs for this purpose already, and we don't intend to rival them. | ||
| - | In fact, model artists use one or more of these programs early in the work pipeline to create the model, and only then use the Cafu Model Editor as described above. | ||
