I wish there was a pivot button on the left toolbar. Because I have begun to use pivots in the editor as placement markers for objects and other kinds of stuff made in C++, and I find it cumbersome to add pivots by "Object->Misc..->Pivots". If this button exist I would not have to leave the Scene tab as I am interested in add a pivot then immediately start naming it.

Hello, when calculating the angular threshhold on on of our models the editor just crashes with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. The .mdl file is attached. Thank you! Car_02_regrouped.mdl

Hi, I'm new to Leadwerks 3 and I would like to get some help with Terrain painting. My problem is that, when I select the painting tool in terrain editor and I click on a layer, nothing happens, can't paint the terrain. The only thing I can do is to select minimum and maximum slope and height for every layer (texture) and when I sculpt the terrain it change the layer (texture) at some point, but as there is a painting tool to choose I think we can paint the selected texture on the terrain somehow but I don't know how and also can't find tutorials. The only tutorial I find is for Leadwerks 2.x but the terrain painting just don't work that way in v3.2 as I can't choose (assign) layer to paint. Anybody could help me please? Thanks.

After uploading my first lua snippet i'm continuing my task to develope useful tools for Leadwerks Engine. What tools you may ask? The first, a batch texture converter is ready since a long time, but needs some tweaking here and there. A beta was previously published but i want to get this tool out of the beta and will release a finished version the next days. The next one is to finish my milkshape exporter (animations still doesn't work) but the rest is faster and less buggy. The main tool I'm currently developing is a small helper which i call "Asset Helper". What does this exactly mean? Well everyone who ever have bought a model pack from one of the modelshops around the web may know this problem. You download it and want to play with it in the Leadwerks Editor. Unfortunatly in most cases this doesn't work at first. You need to: -convert the model to the gmf format -create correct material files -create lua scripts -give proper names to have a good structures view in the Editor -and some things more / depends on the pack What does my tool do? In a first version of my tool I tried to do the above steps completely automatically with just a parameters given at startup, but this aproach fails as expected. It was working with some modelpacks but mostly it fails. So my new approach is a semi-automatic tool: First it will scan and analyse a given directory recursivly and collects all needed data like available models, are there already GMF models or do we need to convert from fbx. It collects every texture it found and like the GenMat tool it will try to find proper texture pairs to build material files. In a last prestep it will scan the converted meshes and get the needed materials or marks missing materials. The next step is done by the user: Choose which models to pack into the asset library. Assign missing textures, rename them etc. . You will also be able to choose a scale value for every single model or choose a scale for all models. The analyser will also attach a basic lua file to each model so you have proper dialogs in the editor. The last step will be to choose an asset name, a package name (optional) and a password (also optional). After a click on start the whole process will start and you will get a nice pak file or a directory structure which you only need to copy into your Game folder. I hope that I have a small Update next time, maybe a screenshot. See ya, klepto2
